A Candidate
Col. T. J. Haralson Writes
a card to his felow cit
izens,
He is n candidate lor the* Legis
lature.
To the people of Union county:
Many of the good citizens of
the county have asked me, if I
would be a candidate to represent
them in the next general assembly.
My reply has invariably been
that the people of Union county
knew me, and if it was their wish,
I was ready and willing to do so.
I have been urged by a great
many of the very best citizens of
the county to become a candidate ;
j have hesitated to do so for sev
eral reasons. One of these re as
ons which line heretofore had
greatest weight with me, is the
fact that there are many aspirants
for the posit ion, all of whom are
good men, and for that reason I
very much dislike to antagonize
them. But when we come to con
sider the fact that ;t is to be a
friendly eon te st within tho ranks
of our own party a. content in
which tlie all important question
to decide is, “who is the choice of
a majority of the Democratic par
ty?” I no longer feei any hosi
, fancy in announcing my willing
ness to serve ni v part v,. and
people, should they believe that I
a in the most available man for the
posit ion. Another rmsor why 1
la sitafi (:. w j.s fr< m tlie fact that
■H'm * Have already r • man-need t<
wage war against* me,.and failing
to find the necessary implements
for my political tleatruction, i-i my
private or public record, they have
raised the cry of “old age” against
me; forgetting that old ago is
honorable, and tlie best evidences
that we have of one’s experience
and wisdom, provided always that
life has been lived in such man
ner as to bear no stains of dishon
or. I have (ived among the good
citizens of* Union county for nearly
half a century,. My life has not
been under a bushel. Human na
ture is not infallible; J. may have
done many things that were wrong
but this much I can safely say
every act of my life has been an
honest one; If I have committed
errors,—-and who has not? they
have been errors of the head and
not of the heart.
You have honored me twice as
your repiresentat ive. I can say
that according to my ability you
have never had a more earnest
faithful representative. No rep
resentative, that has ever served as
such in the State of Georgia, can
produce greater evidence of faitl l
fulness than I, when I tell you
that during all my career in the
Legisla'ure as vottr r^pfesonsativo
j never missed a single roll call.
I was never absent a single day,
but stood ready at all times to do
battle in the . interest of
my constituents, and in behalf
what I doomed to be right, and
most calculated to benefit my sec
tion, and advance the material in
forest and prosperity of our great
St ate. If you should see proper to
elect me, T promise you that the
same diligence that marked my
course in past years, shall at
tend me during my term of service,
and that my every power and cu
orgy shall bo exerted in tlie dis
charge of the duties, which
experience teaches me, are serious
and important ones.
My biglm-st ambition during
these the closing scenes of my h fe,
is to do good service for the peo
ple whom J love, and who iiib r-

ests are dear to me above that of
all others.
If elected, I shall retire at tho
expiration of my term of service
and leave tho interests of ou- belov
ed old county of Union in the
hands of the hoys; the young
men ; “God bless them,” we have
many who are marching Up to the
front, and who will at no distant
make their mark in whatever

AUiaiiceiiiiiu Baker Thinks the
Government Pays its Officials
too Mu#!, and Introduces
a Bill to Reduce Their
Salaries.
Lively Tinier at the Capitol.
Washington July 4, ’92.
Mr. Harrison did not enjoy his
Fourth of July even a little bit.
Lie is as mad nn it is possible fora
man of his glacial temperament
to get. He is mad with those re
publican Senators who voted for
the Stewart free coinage bill, but
it is upon the head of Vice Presi
dent Morton that the vials of his
hottest wrath are being figurat ive
lv emptied. Had Mr. Morton been
in his seat rs presiding officer of
the Senate, when Senator Vest
moved to postpone consideration
of the free coinage bill until next
December the motion would have
been carried, and the present di
,
lemma escaped, a? the vote there
on was a lie, and Mr. Morton, who
is opposed to free coinage, would
have had tim casting pf the deci
Hive vote, Mr. Harrison is doing
everything in his power toprovent
the free coinage bill passing the.
House, although it is stated that
he is anxious to veto it.
Congress is not in session to-day.
To-morrow the free coinage bill
will bo taken from the (Speaker’s
table, where it was placed Satur
day when sent over from the Sen
ate, and referred to the committee
on Coinage, A meeting of that
committee has been called for
Wednesday by chairman Bland,
and, if it is attended by a quorum,
the bill will probably be at once
reported to the House with, a re
cornnif mdation that it be passed.
Then tho fighting will begin. The
silver men will apply to the com
mittee on Rules for a rule setting
one or more days far a considera
turn and a time for taking a final
vote; this will he opposed by the
anti-silver democrats. The silver
men threaten to stop all other bus
iness in the House until a vote is
had on tho bill. The outcome
will depend largely upon two
tilings; the attendance of demo
crats, and the attitude of the re
publican members. So far as Mr.
Harrison can control the republi
can members they will side with
tlie anti-free coinage democrats,
but it is by no means certain that
he can control them. One thing
is certain, it: will be absolutely
necessary to have a voting quorum
on the floor to pass the bill, as the
democratic anti’s will not vote un
less certain of victory.
Ex-Senator Farwell, of Illinois,
lms published a letter in a Wash
ington paper than is causing much
talk, and which shows that Mr.
Fanvell is no greater admirer of
Mr. Harrison now, than he was
when ho retired trom the Senate to
j make room for a good democrat, in
ft bo person of (Senator Painter,
He calls attention to the fact that
soirn* three years ago he and nu
merous other .republicans then in
‘ Congress, recommended MivW. J.
Campbell, of Illinois, as a. suable
man lo bo appointed collector of
Customs at Chicago, and that Mr.
Harrison said that Mr. Campbell
whs a professional lobbyist, and
unfit for tho position, and posi
tively refused to appoint him.
Mr. Farwell wishes to know why
–fr, Harrison selected a man for
the responsible position of chair
man of the republicans national
committee, whom he had refused
to appoint to a Federal position
because of his being “a profession
al lobbyist”.
By sticking to their guns, the
House conferees on the River and
Harbor bill compelled the,' Senate
conferees to recede from the Sen
ate amendments to which the
House disagree. It is going to be
just the same with a number of the
appropriation bills, the members
of the House being fully deter
mined that the Senate shall not
force them to accept amendments,
appropriating large sums of mon
ey, to which they and their con
stituents are opposed, oven if tho
session has to be prolonged, in or
der to bring tho Senators around
to correct ideas.
Senator Hill voted for the
Stewart free coinage hill, and says
lie did so because he considers it
an .improvement upon the present
(Sherman) silver law, which it
repeals, if it becomes a law.
Representative Raker, of Kan
sas, one of the Alliance members
of 'he House, thinks we pay our
officials too much, and has intro
duced a bill making the Presi
dent’s salary twenty-five thousand
d(o!Inrs, Vied President, five thou
sand dollars, members of the
Cabinet, six thousand, Chief Jus
tice Supreme Court, seven thou
sand, Associate Justice, six thou
sand five hundred, Speaker of the
House, five thousand, and U. S.
Senators and Representatives
three thousand.
Ex-Boss Clarkson, is getting
himself laughed at. His proclama
tion occupying about a column in
the newspapers explaining his re
lation to the republican national
Committee, and the ticket, is about
as silly a bit of egotism ns was
ever inflicted on the reading pub
lic, which knows that the only
trouble with Clarkson is, that he
did not succeed in making a bar
gain with Mr. Harrison, by which
he could have remained at the
head of the committee.
Friends of tho administration
are making it pleasant for the new
secretary of the State by telling
every one that the appointment
was only given him as a tompora
ry mako-ehift, because of his
knowledge of the details of mat
ters now before that department.
The fact is, that none of the really
big men in the republican party
cared to accept a position
which they knew would have to be
given up the Fourth of next
March.
