WEEKLY CIRCULATION, 1,750. JAS. E. BROWN. Editor. NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC TICKET. 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.

O 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- I 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.
