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- DEVOTED TO THE UPBUILDING OF UNION COUNTY AND NORTH-EAST GEORGIA .

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 sphere they may six 1 proper to oc i ciipv. Very truly yours, T. J. Haralson. MSOii IfiflB! 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. Were United on Last Sunday. Mr- J. R. Grant of this County, and Miss Martha Self, a beautiful « and accomplished daughter of Mr, Tom Self of Coosa, were married on last Sunday, Rev. Mr. Craw ford officiating.
