ra it similar pillory to his generalship, at
was that of to-ilny.
At tbs olois of Gordon’s eonclnding re
marks Major Bacon stepped forward and
said Dr. Nltbct had assured him that he
had not intended any disrespect or discour
tesy in his introduction, and that therefore
the speaker bad spoken in error, and the
fault Was his, if the audience pleased.
This graceful conduct of Major Bacon
was grectod with applaase.

dares to deny it 1“
That was Major Bacon’s manly and defl
ant reply to Gen. Gordon’s insinuating in
I airy, if he had not resigned from tho
intli Georgia regiment as Adjutant when
Us country needed his snrrices. Daring
the delivery of this bold rebuke of an un
worthy insinuation, Major Bacon looked
Gen. Gordon fully in the eyes and shook his
finger at him. The sensation it produced
caused a hush over tho audience that mark
ed its significance. Even Gen. Gordon
seemed hnmilitsted and his nonchalant air
vanished.
The day was signalised by several other
actable incidents. Among them was <ten.
Go don’s serving indirect notice on Major
Bacon that he proposed, if necessary, to
run another Colquitt campaign. In com
menting on his challenge for primaries as
against fixing things as done hy eonrt house
ollqnca in theinteroat of Bacon, he repeated
his Clarke coanty grievance, and ssid
that the counties that had doclared for
Bacon hod done so without authority, for
delegates to a convention should not bo
elected until it was known there was to be
a convention, and the executive committee
of the Democratic party hod not yet ordored
a sonvention. Aa well might tho Bacon
delegates of two yoars ago claim themselves
delegates now sa those chosen this year.
Growing vehement, Gordon said: “Don’t
he know that the action of these elique
oancusea, like that of Barrows in Athens,
will be reversed?" Of course only one
power can reverse them, if that can, and
that is the titute convention, and of course
if it don’t reverse them itis fair to prosume
that a bolt ia the programme and another
Colquitt Norwood campaign will be the
mult.
Dr. It. B. Nisbet introduced both Gen.
Qordon and Major Bacon, lu presenting
the former he mode s stump speoch of some
length in favor of the old soldier, which was
a surprise even to hia friends, aa the chair-
man of a joint discussion is presumed to
say nothing leaning to eithor candidate.
General Gordon recited his Americas
speech, firing a few shot with which he had
been loaded at Atlanta on Sunday, and us
ing a fnse of sopliomorio rhetorical flour
ishes to set them oil. The burden of his
song was that Bacon is a chronic candidate,
declaring that he bad been a standing can
didate for so long “th* memory of man
runneth not to the contrary.’’
When Nisbet rose to introduce Bacon, bo
ssid the Major was of Georgia blood and nu
honorable man, who bad as much
right to ruu for Governor as either
Gordon or the speaker, and as often as
he nieased. This unhappy reiteration ot
Gordon’s chief point was cheered.
Major Bacon, with flashing eye and voice
aa if choked with indignation, spoke in
spirited terms to tho ohaitman'a reference
to hia right to run as often as ho pleased.
Nobody disputed the proposition,. but i
wsa a qnestion of taste os to the chairman'
tareing it in.
Dr. Niabst jumped up excitedly and
would not sit down nt Major Bacon's
bidding, but prooeeded to nay he would
leave it lo tbs people present to say if ho
bed reflected on Major Bacon, lie had
used the expression “right to rnn aa often
aa ha pleased” out of extreme courtesy, an
General Qordon bail pressed Major Bacon
so hard on that point.
Major Bacon said if the gentleman hail
offered it ont of oonrtcsy, he could only say
ba was not nsod to inch conrtosy.
‘'Then yon have not been accustomed
associating with gentlemen,” interjected
Nisbet.
“To that I reply, in forbearance of so-
vorer language, that I am accustomed to the
society of the gentleman’s own blood in m
home city," responded Major Bacoo, witi
perceptibly suppressed emotion uud with
oourageotu forbearance. Continuing, he
mid: “I nek, before 1 proceed, that some
impartial person be appointed chairman, or
nt least that anah an oue be made keeper of
the time of our limited speeches."
A friend ef Major Bacon's then took tho
time. While this was going on, two of Dr.
NisbU's sou bod pushed their way through
the eonrt bonse to the rear where tho plat
form was, the andionce being on tho green,
and cursing, they swore that “that man
Baotra should nut speak here.” This wus
aeoompanied by many excited and exciting
expletives. Instantly, as they neared the
door leading on the platform, thoy wero
seized and forced back.
After several minutes' excitement order
van restored, snd Major Bacon proceeded
with hia enatigatiou 'of Gordon, whom he
fairly spitted snd routed over ths tire of
logic in the erucible of truth.
Although there were eix hundred people
present, the majority of whom wers for
Gordon, u it was not known that Bacon
wonld he present snd his supporters did
sot cone to town. Notwithstanding this,
Bacon fairly won the better clement of the
orowd, and to my knowledge gained votes
from the Gordon aide, end proof of this is
nt hnnd uu demand. Yon see, Baoon got in
, about 10 o’clook in the morning, driving in
quietly with a friend, and going at onco
to another friend's house, where he re
mained until ths meeting nt the court
house assembled.
The town wu fnll of men and boys snd
cjrla, wearing bine badges which bore the
legend, “For Governor, Gen. J. B. Gordon.”
A weazened band gave ont doleful mneie.
Aa the General approached from Madison

moot him a mile from the eity limits. lie
entered toe eity in grand style, waving his
glossy tils on high snd bowing
and smirching to everybody.
Tho wesxened bend hiccoughed
aloud, and the spontaneous crowd, drum
med ap for several days, cheered lustily.
When the hour of meeting came the bend
prru ded him, and, escorted by n crowd of
Stir, he walked in state to the eonrt house.
Eater, Major Bacon and aevcral friends
camo in nnoatentationaly and took
back testa. When the disc nation had
ended, about a quarter put 3 o'clock,
the crowd dispersed and Gen. Gordon wu
toe-tied away by two gentlemen, while

Baton ton on Monday.
Eatoktoh, May 18, 1888.
Last night 1 wired the Tileoivlth en
accurate account of the dramatic incidents
of yesterday’s joint discussion between
Major Bacon and General Gordon. Only
telegraph facilities prevented my then
sending tho snbstance of the speeches of
the two distinguished disputants, which I
herewith send.
The excitement caused by the Bacon-
Nisbet episode has been the talk of tho
town ever since the adjournment of the
meeting yesterday afternoon. Even among
Gordon men ti
every
has become pledged to my Bupport, and
leave him absolutely free to vote for
which of ns he may Bee fit.
“Compare onr records; and may the God
of Justice and liberty guard you in the
path of right”
hajou nsooNs Hi'iccn.
Major Bacon followed in a speech of one
honr and three-quarters. After the live
bont and vent of just indignation at the
manner of his introduction, ho said that
eighteen years ago he stood in the place
where he then stood, and addressed the
Ion men there is n prevailing opin-
the whole prneeunre retlonnded
ion that tbe wbole pi
to Bacon'H advantage. The near approach
there was to bloodshed yesterday was not
realized nntii hours afterwards, when
it become generally known that many
weapons hail been drawn and more dis
played, nt the time the Nisbet boys were
trying to force themselves on the platform
where Bacon wu speaking. There wu
evidently bad blood, and only Bacon's
splendid conrage and masterly coolness
averted its being shed. It was long after
midnight before complete quiet reigned.
Early this morning Major Bacon and
General Gordon left on the train for Mil-
ledgeville, where they connected for Sparta,
which place they were to speak in the
afternoon.
General Gordon had the opening and
closing yesterday. His opening speech wu
one hoar long. Although the crowd was a
Girdon crowd, duly drammed up for sev
eral days previous, not even the redoubta
ble General conld feel flattered at
the sparse cheering that greeted
his dramatio recital of his own
JCople of l’ntnam coanty by their invita-
ion. Ho wu a Democratic elector of tho
8tate then, and bis reception wu far differ
ent, he wqs sorry to say, from what he hail
received to-day.
Ho pilloried Gordon on his resignation,
showing that Gordon hud declared that he
resigned to become counsel of the Louis
ville and Nashville road, at a priacely sala
ry, whereas everybody know Gordon was
no lawyer. Therefore h« ought to have
known the salary wu not for legal services.
Gordon may say this was offered after
his resignation, and that before that
he wu offered colossal pay to
servo one Hogg in a gigantic railroad pro
ject in Oregon. But before ho left the
Senate he wu not known as a great rail
road developer, and therefore the big pay
could not bo for railroad knowledge or
service. What could it be for? Gordon
says he resigned within three weeks of ad
journment of Congress beoanse his busi
ness offer demanded acceptance within
that time. His servieis were not a suffic
ient consideration for the salary; bnt an
other condition wu that the resignation
should be within a certain
time, and before Congress adjourned.
If he resigned before Congress adjourned,

heroism daring the war. They had come
to liston to statesmanship anil heard remi
niscences of war deeds. They had come to
hear of tho convict leue system, of the
State road re-lenso or sale, of the He’nutorial

stance said.
that deprived the people through the Leg-
OESriUL OOBDOlt 8 Ol’KHIKO Sl'tlK'H.
After ho hod recited his Americus speech,
including the pions invocation that, u God
is his witness, ho wonld continue in the
future u in the put to hia people, he said
the people owe it to their aclf-respect to
pnt the man in the gubernatorial chair
whom thoy had elected in 1808
He did not want that as a vindication, for
if his life in peace and in, of course, war,
wus not a vindication, then nothing would
bo. Certain jonrnala hod heaped vitupera
tion on him, which unwilling Georgians'
ears had to listen to. This method of cam-
laigning, the people should rebnko. The
joys who wero with him know him, and ho
needed no vindication before them.
For his services in restoring peace and
State sovereignty to the Southern States, he
wonld refer all to the recent life of Grant
by Frank Burr, of tho Philadelphia Times,
who is a Republican, and who was, if ho
were not mistaken, one of Grant's staff.
Ho then qnotod Burr’s complimentary ollu
sions to him.
In regard to bis alleged failure in the life
lmtunnoo business, bo only managed a
branch ot it, and that branch hml turned
into the home company a quarter of million
dollars. Had that branch been a separate
company, it would to-day be tho most pros-
porous company in tho lund.
Aa to my alleged failure in the book con
cern, when aftor tho war the schoolbooks
nlltnught that all Sontberners were traitors 1
devoted myself to getting np a company
publish truthful school books. We suc
ceeded in forcing all publishers thereby to
obliterate their slanders of the Sonth from
til editions. It is true tho company failed,
bnt it is still existing, and it hopes to pay
dollar for dollar. But I did not measure
that enterprise by dollars. I valued my
children's man and womanhood greater
than by any dollar measurement. We sunk
money in it, from Jell Davis and Robert
Lee down, tint the principle sustained out
weighs the loss.
The groat point agninst uio is that I re
signed from the Senate. Well, I did. I
felt my mission wus accomplished.
Here the General repeated his charity dis
pensing legend, interspersing it uith ample
red fire and stage thunder, lie said, among
other things, that bo jived on three thou
sand dollars, snd speut the rest of bis salary,
and more, ia psyiug the board and passage
home of ex-l!oufederate soldiers who songnt
Gen. Gordon for employment.
Ho hsd told several friends in Georgia
two yean before that he was going to resign
when his mission of saviog the Sonthern
Slates was accomplished. A year before,
he had told Governor Colqnitt the same.
“I resigned without bargain, alliance, or un
derstanding with any oue on earth.”
Here came in that same old canard about
the Tai.cnoAi'U and Mark Blandford, ex
cept that the General did not mention the
great and good TxLxnnirn by name. In
deed, he atndionaly refrained from that
throughout his speech to-day.
Then came tlio “Macon Boy” story
minns the twenty-fonr pound snot glance
and a few other embellishments with
which hs had decorated the narrative at
Americus.
Hs again boasted of ex-Governor'SmUh's
opposing him, saying that Smith hod been
the ring s bitterest opponent and denuncia
tor, snd that so caastic had he (Gordon)
been in hia controversy with Smith at that
time on tlut point that they bad not spoken
from then nntil s few days ago.
“Id regard to my alleged failures, betides
building ths Georgia Faeiflo read, which
reduced ths price of coal to Georgia con
sumers fully one-half, I undertook to build
another road through Florida, which ia to
empty the wealth of ths West Indies and of
ths countries on the Carribbcsn sea into
this country; and I have made a success of
islature of electing his snccessor, and left
it to the Governor to appoint. One con
sideration necessary, whether expressed or
implied, in acceptance of that large salary,
was that the people of Georgia should be
deprived of their right to elect bis snccessor,
There is no evading that proposition,
(•tight not Goneral Gordon have seen that?
Wbetberhe did or not, an inherent condition
of the big salary was that of letting one man
appoint his successor, woa that of depriving
the people who bad elected him, of electing
his successor.
Is it trnc that ho did have to resign so
soon to get thnt big place? His organ, the
Constitution, on the day after the accep-
tnnae of bis resignation, in an interview
with him, publishes that the firsObingJthe
General needed, and wonld take, wonld be
several weeks’ rest. General Gordon bad
not corrected that interview, and bo wonld
not doubtless deny it, os it was signed II.
W. G., who is bis warm supporter and cam
paign manager, Henry W. Grady.
So, after oil, his business engsgement was
not so urgent as to prevent a rest of sc-v-
eral weeks. He conld have bad that with
out resigning, as all Senator* do. Besides,
be huj h ho needed money so bail that be
had to resign. Well, if be bud held on three
weeks and then resigned, to tukc effect the
following December, which wonld have
been entirely legitimate, and which
would have given the people
the election of bis snccessor, bo would have
been jnutly entitled to $;l,UU> more for the
six months of Congressional vacation.
Then it don't really look as if money was
the solo object of the resignation; nor rest,
for he conld huva hud that without resigning;
nor pressure of business of tho new lucra
tive offer, for the first thing, according to
Henry Grady, that he would do after re
signing was to tuko a rest of several weeks.
The motive of resigning is not shown in
any of the reasons given for resigning.
Where and what wus the motive? The ob
ject of the bigoffer was not attorney's ad
vice, for bo is no lawyer; it was not rail
road knowledge, for he hod none; but the
urgent coutidera ion was “immediate res
ignation,” which gave the Govirnor the
opportunity of appointing bis snccessor,
and deprived the people of the right to
elect him.
Yet the General, in his innoccuee, did
not see this. He has tho astuteness to bull J
n railroad on five millions of Northern capi
tal, but ho could see nothing sinister in the
circnmstanccs urging bis resignation.
Again, be resigned because- atthnngh his
family expoases wero only $3,UU0- he was
•pending more than the balance of his salary
in charily to Confederate soldiers. If that
be true—and the General has said it—why
did be tell a Baltimore American reporter
that be resigned because his private re
sources hod dwindled from neglect, snd bis
salary of S3,UK) was not snflicient to meet
his household expenses? He has not denied
that paper's published statement.
“Besides, if lie did spend so much money
in charity on tbs Confederate soldiers, why
do not those soldiers now publicly proclaim
the benefactions, to relieve hia assertions
from tho jeopardy of anapicion, as did the
woman for whom he genurontiy bought the
yoke of oxen? These soldiers who have been
ths recipients of so lavish private bounty,
should relieve the General of the embar
rassment of unsupported testimony.
Let me recnr to bie resignation. The
Athens Watchman says that some time be
fore Gordon resigned Henry Grady told a
member of the Athens dm company that
Gordon was going to resign, and that Joe
Brown would succeedhim. When be resigns,
Grady is in Georgia; when the resignation
is accepted, Grady ia in Washington with
Gordon. If Grady cenld know who his suc
cessor was to bo, conld not Gordon have
known? Did he not know?
He says he bad accomplished hia mission
In the Senate, and that there waa nothing
left for him to do bnt vote; bnt nenry Gro
und so lost to onr peoples He shonld
have guarded them from that destruction.
“If his book ojneern yet lives, itis sIbo
true that it ha* never prid bnt forty cents
on the dollar. • He got from Colonel Whit
tle of Macon $500 for it, and not one oent
has ever been returned. The stock is aa
worthless as the paper it is written on.
“In answer to bis questions to me, I an
swer:
“I did nppear before a legislative com
mittee, when the matter of the receiver of
the East Tennessee rood was said to be a
disturbing element between tho court that
appointed the receiver and the State courts.
But while before that committee, I confined
myself to quoting the decisions of the
Supreme Court of Georgia.
“As to pledges, I neverjmade any to any
one to give an office to any particular man.
Henry Grady a-ked me in his office, if I
were elected, would I retain Tip Harrison
in the executive office. I told him Harrison
waa a warm friend of mine and a magnifi
cent clerk, and that these facta wonld have
due weight.
"As to my resigning as adjutant general by
of the Ninth Georgia, for sixty days just
before the war, I was ill with typhoid fever,
which General Gordon knows was so fatal
to my family ancestry, and progeny, too,
God help me! When I spoke of going to
tbo war, all my friends said it was sheer
folly; that I was totally unequal to the
hardships, in my reduced condition from
that devastating disease of typhoid. I was
a member ot nn Atlanta company. It did
not get off soon enough to the front for me.
The Ninth Georgia was recruiting there,
and, in may eagerness to serve my
conntry, I left my own company, and
joined it. After serving through two cam
paigns the best physicians of the army bald
I was unfit for service. I conld then have
returned borne for the rest of the war; but
eager to serve in any capacity, I sought an
opening in several branches of the service,
as Genoral Gordon personally knows, for
applications went through him. Then I
eutered the commissary deportment as the
only opening to one so incapacitated physi
cally as myself. Bnt it anyone says that
there was a time when I would not cheer
fully have sacrificed property and life for
my people he speaks falsnly.”
Before Mr. Bacon took his seat some one
called to him to ask tke General about that
appointments of Hugh Gordon's. Mr. Ba
con said hs had not time.
General Gordon, with much bluster, said
ho bad time and would attend to it The
General had fifteen minntes to reply. He,
however, did not refer to his son Hugh’:
appointment He again dwelt on bis ser
vice in the army end bis wounds.
Tho position of counsel to the Louisville
and Nashville was not os a lawyer bnt as
adviser or coanseiier to the president, Now
comb.
As to release or sale of the State Toad,
his position wonld be that he wonld not
let the East Tennessee have it by lease or
sale, at any bid.
“As to the convict lease system, let me
say that I was a convict lessee. I became
one of a company to carry in some friends.
IVben that was accomplished I had no
more desire in the mutter; and on the very
day the lease was signed, I returned my
"h ire to tho State. The Governor refused
accept it; and after custing
about for some time I fonnil
A man who took it off my ahonlders
just what I had paid for it, and I never
made one dollar oat of it” Ah to the con
victs ho wonld if possible favor regaining
in a legal manner, control of them, and put
ting them on some public work. He opposed
allowing any such control of the convicts
ns to inflict other and greater punishment
than the law allows. Above nil thiugs
Ippoaed the present system because
.ilaeed the State's people criminals, though
they be criminals subject to tbo cupidity
of the lessees.
Ho closed with Old liandred on the
primary question, with Clark county us the
unholy example. •

Another serious offense ia the publica
tion of erroneous statements eonoeming
various drags, such as aro daily prescribed
onr best physicians, declaring them to
deadly poisons. Iodide of potash, which
seems to receive their greatest condemna
tion, when proscribed by physio nn* and in

Wherever introduced it takes the lead of

care of all Blood, Skin and Kidney Dis
eases, Scrofula, Ulcers, Rheumatism, etc.
The General omitted st this opportune
point to state that ths snocess of that road
is yet on paper.
Referring to the Clerk# county methods
again, he said the lawyers of Estonton sre,
ha understood, for Bacon, snd so sre the
lawyers til over Oeorgia; bnt the conntry
people were for him, snd they wonld crush
ont thie monster of coart house cliques,
