Isn’t it funny, very funny, for General Gordon to be on a bond to indemnify the Stato for anything? lie is bondsman for lessees of convicts. What could the State recover? ’ Broadway, (New York) Office of John B. Gordon. (Sign on door)—"General Gor don is absent for a few days at his DeKalb county farm. He will return permanently on July 29th.” Consul General Young need not be alarmed. It is not the cracking of the ice in the Nova. It is only "Hightower Bill” frightening Newt Trammel and the Gordon gang with the hallelnjah hand clap. "Don’t shoot and I'll come down" was what tho redoubtable ex-Governor Smith exclaimed when he Baw Colonel Sam Jemi- son level his musket of cciimon sense on the Gordon tree Saturday. But the Colonel did shoot, and the reports are that some thing dropped. We warned the ex-Governor that Colonel Jemison was loaded. An Early eonnty paper is authority for this: "A prominent Gordon man of oar county says he would vote loi Gordon if he was to catch him stealing a sheep.” When General Gordon closed his sheep ranch, it ia said that there was but one sheep on hand, but wo have never heard that it was claimed by any of the neighbors. The Greenville News thus does public penance: “In stress of weather and scarc ity of newspapers we were driven to an in sane effort to extract some general nows from the Atlanta Constitution. We can amend the wrong only by renewing the vow heretofore recorded never again to re sort to the Constitution for facts." An old and intimate personal friend of Mr. Stephens, and a very prominent Geor gian, writes us: "For myself I want to siy that I have, or know of, evidenee that sustains nearly all the charges made by ‘Plain Talk’ against General Gordon, not to apeak of some others." These may find their way to the publio. When Mr. Davis was being enthusiast! cally received in Georgia a Northern con. temporary remarked' that it was evidence that all the fools were not yet dead. We respectfully suggest that the row being made over Captain Saunders is evidence of tho fact that the fools that survive do not all live in Georgia Dbeyet Brigadier General of llhotoric Avery says General Gordon oppoaed the appointment of Joe Brown aa his aneeee- sor. General Gordon lays he did not know who was to be his anccciaor. A question of veracity is raised here between the Brevet Brigadier and bis senior in command. Has the Brevet Brigadier opened his mouth and put his foot into it? Bonn of the friends of the Atlanta Consti tution have been disposed to excuse its dirtiness in the publication of the filthy card of one Hinkle. The xympathy is mis placed. The Gordon organ glories in Hin kle and his work, as may be seen by this "Colonel Hinkle’s card appears to have hor rified the Bacon organs. The colonel will have to be more particular next time. (Iordan’* Kind or Primaries. General Gordon and bis friends have strenuously endeavored to mislead the peo ple of Georgia into behoving that Major Ba con and his friends were opposed to prima ries, and that General Gordon and his friends were in favor of prim ,ries. Force was attempted to be added to this by de claring that primaries are the only f tur mode of getting at the people's will and prefer- ence in the choice of candidates. Of course, the first position, that Major Bacon opposes primaries, is aa false as it is malicious, and as futile of its purpose os its object is palpable. Major Bacon haa never said one word against primaries. What he has said, and what he now holds, is that he has no right to dictate to tho counties of this State how they shall choose their dele gates to the gubernatorial convention. With becoming propriety, he absolutely refuses a proposition of General Gordon's to attempt to coerce the people into any one mode of choosing delegates. It is clear, then, even to Major Bacon's opponents, that it is he who is not only willing to, but will not do otherwise than, leave tho ques tion entirely to the people, to exercise their judgment, and convenience, and freedom, in selecting a mode of electing delegates. Without dwelling 3fpon the manifest in sincerity of Gen. Gordon and his coachers, in their declamatory demand for primaries, as illustrated in the hastening of tho Lee county convention to take snap judgment, when the Gordon men were a majority of of tho executive committee and conld have ordered primaries, the attention of all fair- minded men is invited to the caso of Coweta county: It is only a few days ago that the exec utive committee of that eonnty met Seven out of thirteen members were present, of whom fonr wero Gordon men. They, of coarse, controlled the convention, as in deed, they clearly showed in sitting with closed doors, a thing unheard of in the Democratic party until General Gordon comes forward and insists on ‘‘giving the people n chance.” The majority decided to hold primary elections in each militia dis trict, to select ton delegates from each militia district to meet at the court honse to choose delegates to the State gubernato rial convention. The Bacon men pro posed to consolidate the vote of the eonnty, tho candidate receiving the majority of the votes to be entitled to the delegates from the eonnty. Tho Gordon men refused to consolidate the eonnty vote, hot allowed a majority in the militia districts to oontrol, well knowing that the town militia districts wonid give two to one in favor of Bacon, thereby disfranchising the Bacon majority. There are thirteen militia districts in Coweta county. According to tho tax books for 1884, these districts uumbered voters as follows: Ueuenil Uurdon an a Financier. It will be admitted by. every voter in the State that we shall need a wise and cool business nmn in tho gubernatorial chair for yearn to coma. It has been charged in this canvass that os r, business man Gen. Gordon is an un mitigated failure. He nor his friends have attempted to answer these charges. They may be summed np as follows: He failed as a lawyer. He failed in the saw-mill business. He failed in the book agency. He failed in life insurance. He failed os a planter. He failed os a sheep ranchero. He failed aa a coal miner. He claims to have made some money out of a railroad enterprise, bnt he did not keep it long. He has failed as the bnilder of a great in ternational steamship and railroad line. It is charged by a Washington corre spondent of the Cincinnati Commcrcial- Gazatte that General Gordon, in 1882, was trying with ex-Postmaster-General Creswell and others to lobby a bill through Congress to build an air-line road from Washington to Now York. This failed. Somo time afterward General Gordon, George C. Gorham and others were mentioned in the Philadelphia Press as corporators in a thirty-million telephone enterprise. This failed. It is not within our knowl edge as to ho sr many people failed to realize npon these several schemes of the General. Broken in credit and resonrees, he is now endeavoring to get the people of Geor gia to pay him again for his military ser vices by electing him Governor. The Ath ens Banner quotes a capitalist of that city Jo the General’s financial capacity in these words: "General Gordon’s financial inability has coat me exactly $7,500, not counting the interest on the investment. He came to me once and said he had a big thing, into which he would only admit a few of his chosen friendX It all seemed so plausible that I risked $5,GOO, and never received a nickel back. Bat etill I bad a most abiding confidence in Gordon, and when he came to mo with another big scheme and wanted $2,500 more, I sub scribed that also, and it went the same way the *5,000. Well, I have already $7,500 worth of the General, which knowledge was obtained in the school of experience, and won't take any more in mine.” > •, The United States Marshals in Georgia appear as Gordon boomers. They were also nsed for a similar purpose in Alabama. The Montgomery, Ala, Dispatch contains this: Capt. Eichelberger said: "My name is O. W. Eichelberger. My father was bom and raised in Hanover, Pa., and sent to school in Carlisle, Pa. I am a Depnty United States Marshal for the middle dis trict of Alabama. I »aa in Montgomery on the 27th of last April, and was invited by Capt. B. W. Bell, the chairman of the com mittee, to receive General John B Gordon, to accompany the special train which went ont with soldiers and citizens to meet Gen eral Gordon st Mount Meigs. While at Mount Meigs, I was detailed by Captain Bali to stand at the car door and keep the crowd from pleasing into and filling np the car, which General Gordon and Lis party occupied.’* Tins is the plan of the Journal of Com merce to regulate the liquor traffic: "After the places where liquor is sold an made as orderly as possible, and are restrained from selling to known drunkards, the latter having forfeited their right to bny by their misuse of the beverage, and era charged so mneh for a license that only men of some char acter, means, #d self-respect can engage in the lioxineiA, all is done probably that can be at present in the way of regulating the traffic. The attention should then be turned to the people, and specially the children, who ahoald be trained to habits of sobriety an.l temperance. This is oar policy for the l. r.led r.-formation, and the only one, in ©or judgment, that will accou-pllrb any pri.», ,1 g, alia this I and gen-ration.' First • 259 Second llCt Third 113 Fourth 134 Fifth 279 Sixth 100 Seventh 08 Cedar Creek 78 Panther Creek 110 Hurricane 42 Grantville. .> Turin ! 45 Since 1884 the First district has been divided; now there are two districts, tho First 200, and Haralson 69. Now, then, under the fair method insist ed on by the people’s friend, Genoral Gor don, and by the order of his friendly executive committee of Coweta, the 45 votera of Tnrin district will have jnst mneh to any in choosing delegates to the State Convention as will the 279 voters of the Fifth district, which virtually means disfranchisement of 234 voters of the Fifth. The G8 voters of the Seventh district elect ten delegates to the eonnty convention, who can vote with the exact same power the ten delegated from the second, where there are 103 votes; thus also disfranchis ing 95 voters in the second; and ao on with the other districts. Here, then, are the primaries for which Gordon and hia friends are clamoring, and which they have forced on tho voters of Coweta eonnty. See how it works: Take these seven districts, Uaralaon 59 Sixth district. 100 Seventh district Cedar Creek Hurricane Grant rille Tnrin The Atlanta Gordon Clubs It must have been terribly stormy in At lanta Sutnrday night, for, according to tbe Constitution’s pun account of tbe meeting to organize the Gordon Club, not more than three hundred people wer<Tpresent. “Tho smallness of the crowd wire duo to the rain and threatening weather,” etc. And thia, too, in face of all the spontaneous combustion that fairly made lurid the po ll tioal horizon! One would think that more than three hundred persons conld have been mustered jnst to he ar the excellent Hawkinsvillo band, bnt when it was known that the eloquent Colonel Cox wonid hold forth, and that the cause was the lost cause, so to speak, of General Gordon, it is surprising, truly, that only three hnndred people could be corailed. It is true it rained, but then the weather was worse—it was "threstening.” Trust Cob Cox to recognize "threatening" weath er, even when the slues ore obscured by rain; and, trne weather prophet that he is, he did not stay at the meeting long enough for it to materialize, but hied himself home, whence he was only dragged forth by the violent bauds of the sergeant-at-arms com mittee of the spontaneous combustion meeting. The report does not say whether the Colonel had retired when the sergeant-at- arms, mace in hand, Bnmmoned him forth, with the piteous cry, “Help us, Cox, or we perish," but the idea suggests itself that I with the three hnndred in attendance, all commissioned as sergeants-at-aims, they might have gone out and, by ringing front Additional Testimony or the Slander, General Gordon at Amerieua slandered Ben Hill. When charged with it by the Telegraph he denied it. The Telegraph sent a special representative to the spot, and gathered cumulative evidence that Gen eral Gordon used (hia language: Ben Hill met me at tbe depot one day and told me be bad a good thing for me. He said he had a share in the 8tate road leaae, and that aa soon aa it waa in my name he could get me fifty thousand dollars for it. and the ahare would not coat me any thing. The aharea afterwards sold at eighty thou sand. I tried hard to bring my conscience to accept that fifty thousand dollars, for I needed it badly. I tried to get my conscience to endorse the transac tion in which Ben Hill and Alex. Stephens w ere concerned, but I did not see how I could earn fifty thousand dollars in five minutes without doing any thing, and I wrote Ben Hill a note, saying be need not save any ahare at fifty thonaand dollars for mo. [Applause.] Mark what he said well. His conscience would not permit him to do what Ben Hill and Mr. Stephens had done. He refused to make fifty thousand dollars offered to him by Ben Hill. Jemison will understand that no mood to bo trifled with, and we cannot but feel a sympathy for t who finally receives the combioedlo paroil for 8mith.

To-day wo are tempted to take np the ridiculous. No bet ter illustration could be desired than the following extract irom the Atlanta Const! tntion’a editorial column in an article npon General Gordon: Ilela the treat and graudest leider that man ■T.r followed, to peace aa in war." We have been taught that the Savionr of tho world was the best leader whom men ever followed in peace, and wo have never been informed before that General Gordon, grand as he is, waa rated so high. The world has been blessed with oonntless good men who wero leaden in peace; men whose names are hallowed by their good deeds, and calendared in the affections of grateful people. And they were not only grand leaders, and good, bnt safe. They never loat their friends’ money in wildcat schemes or dragged them down in tbe ruins of fraudulent insurance companies and extravagant book concerns. Nor did they yield up at the critical mo ment the traits confided to them.'. Per haps the Con*illation'senthneiast ba* never heard of any of these. Perhaps hs intend ed to say that General Gordon was the bnt and grandest leader in peace with whom he had ever associated. That might hare been within bounds. Bnt was General Gordon the grandest and beat leader that men ever followed in war? Waa he really grander than Alex ander tho Great, Napoleon and Wellington, or grander and better than George Wash ington, ltobert E. Lee and Stonewall Jack eon? Perhaps he was, bat ia it not singular that the Atlanta Constitution first discos, ered the foot? By the way, it is ths Consti tution that now furnishes the ‘‘facta" of Gordon’s campaign. The Primary tlulni General Gordon and his organ have in dulged in a large amount of talk and blas ter as to primary elections, claiming that this is the only fair way to ascertain the pnblic choice. Major Bacon and bis friends hare made no objection to any plan that may be adopted by the people, the voters, who are the interacted partita in the mat ter. General Gordon’s friends controlled the exeoutivo committee in Lee eonnty, yet they did not order a primary. The Dalton Citixen says: "We learn that at the meeting of the eonnty executive committee on Saturday last, to arrange for the selection of delegates to ths State and Congressional conventions, there were only three of the five committeemen present, and that one of these, the chairman and a Bacon man, favored the primary method of selecting delegatee, and the others, Gordon men, wanted what the Conititntion calls a 'little court iymae meeting,' and wanted it to assemble ss early as Saturday next, in order, we presume, to get np a Gordon boom iu town and take snap judgment on the country people, who art said to be al most two to one for Bacon.” In addition to this, we have been informeed that the executive committee of Hoax ton county, with a majority ot Gordon men, declined and refused to order a primary. Donbtiesa there are other instances which will go to show the insincerity of General doorbells and sounding the fire alarm, pointed to investigate the State rood leave. That I .
