FOR PRESIDENT :
GROVER CLEVELAND,
OF NEW YORK.
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT :
ALLEN G. THURMAN,
OF OHIO.
Ifotice to District Senatorial Ex
ecutive Committee.
The members of the District Sen
atorial Executive Committee are re
quested to meet in Newnan on Satur
day, July 21st, (inst.) for the purpose
of designating the time and place for
holding the next Senatorial Conven
tion. A full attendance is desired.
Geo. J. Martin, Chrn’n.
The Way Mr. Grimes’ Friends Man
aged Things in Taylor.
In the latter part of April or the first
week in May the Democratic Executive
Committee of Taylor county issued a
call for a mass meeting to select dele
gates to the first State Convention.
When the meeting convened the friends
of Hon. T. W. Grimes found themselves
in the majority, and while the selec
tion of delegates was not mentioned
in the call of the Executive Committee
as one of the purposes of the meeting,
they took advantage of the occasion
(and the slim attendance) and se
lected delegates to the Congres
sional Convention, duly instructed for
Mr. Grimes. This was done despite
the fact that the Congressional Con
vention had not been called, and be
fore any other candidate in the Dis
trict had announced. Now that other
candidates are in the field the Demo
cratic voters of Taylor want an oppor
tunity to express their real prefer
ences, and insist upon abrogating the
action of the mass meeting referred to.
With this purpose in view the County
Democratic Executive Committee has
been strongly petitioned to call anoth
er meeting and allow the people the
privilege of deciding who is the choice
of the county for Congressman. That
the movement is a strong one is evi
denced by the perturbation of the But
ler llcrnld, which has been an ardent
supporter of Mr. Grimes since the cam
paign opened. The following extract
from an editorial in that paper, though
manifestly biased, is yet sufficiently
explicit to give some idea of the situa
tion in that county:
We understand there are petitions to
be presented to the Democratic Execu
tive Committee of this county asking
that- another nomination be held to se
lect delegates to our Congressional Con
vention. We cannot believe that this
move has any connection with the Wash
ington plan; yet., although not so inten
ded. it may also be of great benefit to
the Washington movement. Anything
that will get up confusion in the con
vention, and hinder the nomination of
Representative Grimes, will work ad
mirably for the Washington wire-pull-
ors*
Now the selection of delegates to
our Congressional Convention, at the
time and under the circumstances, may
or may not have been wise. For the
sake of argument, grant that it was
not; what then? The delegates select
ed were instructed for Grimes; we un
dersand it is conceded that our county
is for Grimes by a decided majority;
and, granting this, would it not be
the part of wisdom to ratify the action
already had, and to which reference
has been made, even though the selec
tion of these delegates was, perhaps,
a little irregular? If the delegates al
ready selected correctly represent the
sentiment of the county, and we be
lieve it is conceded that it does, what
good or practical end will be accom
plished by selecting another set of del
egates?
The whole truth is, Mr. Grimes has
been depending too much upon the
politicians, who, by their unseemly
haste and reckless methods, have
aroused the antagonism of the people
in nearly every portion of the District.
Moreover, he has been too partial with
liis favors to be popular. There are
other counties in the District beside
Talbot and Troup, as he will doubtless
have reason to know before the cam
paign is over.
In the LaGrange Graphic of the 3d
inst. we find the following significant
paragraph:
“We do not believe there is a shadow
of a chance for Col. Traylor’s nomina
tion, even should he secure his county
vote; and all will agree that it is had
policy to go into a losing game now,
when by waiting two years we are sure
of winning success with a Troup coun
ty man. If Troup county hopes to
ever have the honor of furnishing a
Congressman from this District, she
must indorse Grimes this time.
Yet in its issue of the 10th inst. it
waxes exceeding wroth because the
Carrollton Free Press seized upon the
suggestion contained in the abo\ e and
intimated that there had been a trade
between Mr. Grimes and certain politi
cians in Troup county. The Graphic,
in commenting upon the remarks of the
Free Press, admits that it is a “grave
charge,” and calls lustily for “proof;”
—at the same time, we observe that it
does not deny the charge. We pre
sume this was an oversight, however.
Editor Brown, of the Newnan Her-
ai d and Advertiser, thinks the peo
ple of Coweta should support Col.
Travlor because Col. Freeman was de
feated two years ago, or something of
that sort. That is certainly good,
sound logic, hut it will not do to co
quet with the voters of Troup in order
to get their support for a Coweta man
two years hence.—LaGrange Graphic.
We are not afraid to come in contact
with the honest voters of Troup, on any
question, but we have learned to our
sorrow that it isn’t safe to coquet with
the politicians down there. If the
Graphic believes there was no dicker
ing between Mr. Grimes and the Troup
county politicians two years ago, and
feels inclined to investigate the matter,
we shall take pleasure in turning on a
little light for its edification. We are
loaded.
We have been permitted to make the
following extract from a letter written
by a Carroll county gentleman. to one
of our citizens, which throws some
light on tlie Congressional situation in
that county:
“Our new executive committee met
last week and ordered an election in
the districts on Saturday before the
first Tuesday in August for delegates
to a county convention on the first
Tuesday to select Congressional dele
gates. The politicians over here, I
think, are with Grimes, and under the
plea of getting a delegation ostensibly
for a home man, will manipulate the
matter to suit themselves. Of course,
if that kind of an appeal is made it
would hamper Traylor’s friends in tak
ing an active stand for him.”
No further explanation is needed.
T he Phonograph is tlie name of a
new paper recently started in Hogans-
ville, presumably in the interest of Mr.
Grimes’ candidacy for Congress, if we
may judge from the following para
graph :
“We learn that Col. Traylor is a very
clever gentleman, and a good farmer.
We have too few such men and need
more of them, and we are opposed to
letting any of them go—even to Con
gress.”
This is a fair specimen of .the argu
ment that is being used to discourage
the candidacy of Mr. Traylor, and this
also explains his growing popularity,
both in the town and country districts.

In tlie selection of delegates to the
Fourth District Congressional Conven
tion, to convene in Columbus on th 14th
prox., Chattahoochee county will act
on the lStli inst., Harris on the 2Stli,
and Troup, Heard, Meriwether and
Carroll on the 4th prox. Coweta will
probably act on the 31st inst. Prima
ries have been ordered in all the coun
ties mentioned except Chattahoochee.
Seventeen and a fraction of the thirty-
four votes represented in the Conven
tion will be necessary to nominate, un
der the majority rule.
The Grimes organs are trying to show
that the mass meeting held in La
Grange on the 3d inst. was overwhel
mingly for Grimes, because a set of res
olutions introduced by a friend of Mr.
Grimes were adopted, and because Mr.
Traylor suggested an amendment to
the resolution that was not accepted.
This is untrue, and is calculated to mis
lead the voters of the District as to The
respective standing of the two candi
dates in Troup county. The resolution
referred to provided for the election of
delegates to the Congressional Conven
tion, while Mr. Traylor urged that the
candidates be voted for directly at the
polls, and that the total vote of the
county determine the popularity of the
candidates. On this question Mr.
Traylor’s friends divided-some favor
ing the plan suggested by the resolu
tion, and others agreeing with Mr.
Traylor. The resolution was finally
adopted by a vote oi' SO to 04. This
-does not show that the convention was
“overwhelmingly for Grimes.’ It ap
pears less so when the fact is known
that the Hogansville, West Point and
LaGrange “Grimes Clubs” were out in
full force, Hogansville alone contribu-

Hon. Geo. J. Martin, chairman of
the District Senatorial Executive Com
mittee, publishes a call elsewhere in
this paper for a meeting of the commit
tee to determine the time and place for
holding the next Senatorial Conven
tion. The meeting will be held in
Newnan, on Saturday, 21st inst. The
committee is composed as follows.
Geo. J. Martin, of Meriwether, chair
man; R. D. Render of Meriwether, R.
A. Massey of Douglas, T. J. Bullard of
Campbell and W. A. Post of Coweta.
At the annual meeting of the board
of trustees of the State University last
Monday Prof. H. C. White was defeated
for the Chancellorship by a vote of 14 to
13. Rev. F. B. Strickler of Atlanta,
was elected, hut his candidacy was un
authorized, and he declined.
The LaGrange Graphic seems wor
ried because we published an extract
from the Hamilton Journal showing
exactly how the Congressional candi
dates stand in that county. We can’t
help it. The Journal alone is to blame;
it ought not to have printed the item.
Col. L. S. Roan, of Fairburn, w ho
has been urged by his friends to become
a candidate for the State Senate from
this District, declines to make the race.
The contest, therefore, will be between
Hon. Levi Ballard and Mr. J. M. Ma-
