GENERAL GORDON'S BCMIVKSS YXNTUBEM.
Rtarting out immediately after the war, the first
bindues* venture with which he was connected, so
f*r as I am In formed, waa a nursery near Atlanta,
from which he proposed to sell fruit trees to the peo
ple of Oeorgla. I don't, know how many he sold
around Columbns. I bonaht some from him my*
self, and waa not satiated with the transaction.
Within a short time bis enterprise failed. Ue left
it. or it was abandoned. This was of the least Im
portance.
The next enterprise in which he embarked was
in which any man other than General Gordon was I the United States Senate, who had
ever able to swindle this colossal fraud. Gordon la I been bounred by practically a uuanlnmus re-elec-
extreinely enthusiastic lie is fickle, and when he j tiou to this high position, should have resorted to

facility upon his own refutation tbat woe necessary
in order to establish bis business. Credit was ex

lin—l never knew before how man^iuilu he bad —
be started five saw-mills, lief, re h«- had a single
mill In operation, before he had cot a f<x 1 of^un-
her, th* port of Brunswick was tnroniod wl7n a
fleet of ship*, waiting for cargoes of lumber to be
cut by his mills. While they were waiting, of
coarse they were on demurrage and
damage • waa thus incurred. By this and
by general bad management, faulty
Judgmeot, or whatever else you may term it Gen.
Gordon waa reduced to failure. Ha admitted him
self. for a wonder, in this same Dublin speech, that
he had failed at sawmilllng.
HIS SCHOOL-ROOK SCUEMH.
The next we bear of him ia In canvassing Georgia
and other Rules In the bouth for subscriptions to a
Kcbool-book publishing concern. Ue came before
ue with ibe plea that the minds ef our children
wn* being poisoned with wrong eUtemente with
refe enee to the history of the country, in which
we werepeculiaily into sated. He suggested aa a
corrective of this evil th# establishing of a publish
ing concern with capital subscribed by boutho u
peer le f <jr the purpose of publishing such school
books aa we were willing to place iu the bands of
our children. From the heat information that can
he obtained, he raised from people in
Ueortcia and in the Carolina* and other
Houthern HUtea the sum of flM,OUO. There la a
statement in connection with the raising of this
fund to the effect tbat he received 32 per cent com
mission for his service* in soliciting these subscrip
tions. Whether this Is true or not, I am not pre
pared to sUte with absolute certainty. This money
waa invested, much of it by the peop e of Georgia,
and if any reonlts have ever come from it, either in
the way of book-publishing or returns upon lu in
vestment, I have never heard of it, except a very
amaU percentage, probably 4 per cent upon tha
original subscriptions, lo other words, this con
cern, founded upon a theory so plausible, and
which, in the bands of a comp* eat mau, would
have been a great snccaas and a great blessing, un
der the management of General Oordon waa a great
failure.
THE LIFE INSVHAECK SWINDLE.
Ue next appear* aa tha manager of the Southern
department ot the Southern Life Insurance Com
pany. Ue has stated that the departmtnl turned
into the home office the sum of $380,000. That
money, or a large portion of It, waa taksn from the
people of Georgia, and the other portion was taken
from people of contiguous Htates. Although he
•ays it was the most successful Ilf# insurance busi
ness that the country has ever known, the people
of Georgia were heavy loaem by it and through hi*
reputation and by the confidence they bad In him.
he thus secured thee* investments which might
have gone Into companies that were solvent, and
thus saved the people from this lose. This venture
was an absolute failure. (Applause.)

worthy th* office of Governor. [Applause] lu

Now, fellow eiUient, I •’one for a few moments
to the record of Major Bacon You all reuieuiner
that bacon waa a candidate for Govsru*"
•ou Mb log over three year* sgo when Govern. *r M

from a speech Governor Smith made before tbe
convention whlcb wm assembled In Atlanta. In
preoeutiug the name of Major B con to tbat cou
veotlon m a candidate for the Democratic Domina
tion for Governor, Governor Smith gave him the
highest praise, aa you will see by hie speech, which
I shall read yon.

Fellow cltiP-ns, that wm tbe endorsement given

PICON’* RESIGNATION.
A great deal has been said about slander In thla
campaign. There le but one charge so far as I aia
advUedofa serious nature made against liven;
aud that is of resigning from tbe adjutancy of the
Ninth Georgia regiment. Fellow citizens, I svy it
to-uigbt. It wbathM bean said wt'b reference to
that resignation were not absolutely fates and slan
derous, 1 w uld not support Major liacun for the
Democratic nomination for Governor.
But there baa been but
statement from him touching this matter.
Here i« no touuadiciion lu it, aud I accept that
statement as the whole and aba lute truth, cover
ing the reasons and the necessity for that resigna
tion. Whet* I hear a man make two different state-
mout* with reteieuce to his iesl| nation. 1 cannot
give bun fourtber credence. Fellow -citizens, tha
mau tbat will deceive you et one time, under one
set of circumstance*, may deceive you at an
other time. [Applause] lr Major Bacon
should make two conflicting statements about he
same subject matter, would it not be bad polh-y af
terwards to believe biiu ? I do not propose for any
man to tell me two inherent atoms about the
tnendable, public and private. Truth Justifies
everything that I have said in bff favor.
CLOSING REMARKS.
Fellow-citizens, there are other matters I should
like to discuss but I have already nxceedsdtbe tlm^
1 had allotted myself. I thank you for yrur pa
tient attention
I want to ssv to you that no matter what comes,
t us stand together a’xd continue the struggle in
which we are now engaged. [Applause ] We may
be defeated this year a d next, but uu rro
devoted to an effort to destroy tho
source and center of all the political »vil* with
which our: tats is afflicted. Victory will come lo
us at last, and when it doea, let us preserve the per-
ishabie odium of tbe Atlanta ring and make its in
famy immortal. [Great applause.]
