FOR PRESIDENT *.
GROVER CLEVELAND,
OF NEW YORK.
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT !
ALLEN G. THURMAN,
OF OHIO.
FOR REPRESENTATIVES :
W. Y. ATKINSON,
J. P. JONES.
The Legislative Nominees.
After a heated and protracted cam
paign, the Democratic voters of Cowe-
tahave made their choice of candidates
t» represent the county in the next
Legislature. The various issues in-
eetved have been fairly settled at the
Bails, the result has been accepted by
tire-people, and nothing now remains
v hrt to give to the successful candidates
oar hearty and unqualified support.
Though strongly opposed, and embar-
taseedby numerous entangling issues of
acharas8ing nature, they were elected
& vote as complimentary as it was
Aausive. The gentlemen who contest
ed the nomination are all worthy,
well qualified, and popular, and there
itt no question but that the county
would have been creditably represent
ed* by either or any of them. It is no
oridence of unpopularity, nor in any
seme discreditable, that three of the
candidates were defeated. It was
iMntely a question of preference as be
tween five good men, aggravated solely
££ at all,) by the misfortune of having
muff two offices to fill. We could have
nomdre sincere wish than that there
had been enough for alL
Jfessrs. Atkinson and Jones will make
excellent Representatives. Indeed, we
doubt if two better men can be found
m the State. Mr. Atkinson made con
siderable reputation as a member of
lie last Legislature, and was an ac-
luiowledged leader in the branch of the
Assembly to which he belonged. Bold,
fearless, outspoken; a ready debater;
asr earnest advocate; conservative, and
yetJfcourageous when courage was need
ed to urge a point or to determine a
question—no member of that body
wielded a more potential influence, or
was held in higher esteem by his col
leagues. With the experience already
acquired he can easily surpass his re
cord in the last Legislature, and we
have every confidence in his ability to
do so.
Mr. Jones is onejof the best men in
the county, and while inexperienced in
legislative work, has as much native
ability and intelligence as any new
member could have, and will not. lose
sight of the interests of his people.
It is safe to say that no county in the
State will be more crediitably or effi
ciently represented^ as our people will
Be proud to admit before the next Leg
islature adjourns.
lowing, frolh the Talbotton correspon
dent of the Macon Telegraph is a final
and conclusive answer to the bpastful
claims of the Grimes organs:
“I see that it has been published in
some of the papers that the delegates
from Talbot county who were selected
by W. R. Gorman to represent him in
the Congressional Convention, will, af
ter they find there is no chance to nom
inate Gorman, then go to Tom Gnmes.
This is a mistake, as they will never
support Grimes. They don t think
he nas done anything to merit indorse 1
ment; and, besides, the delegates in
Muscogee county, by their action, defeat-
. ed Persons when he had served one term
and asked for an indorsement. Talbot
is purely and emphatically an anti-
Grimes county. Traylor, of Troup,
could Jiave carried the county against
Grimes by an overwhelming majority.
Make out your list from the following line of bargains and
bring it to us.
We will fill it to the best of our ability •
Coe. E. R. ShArpe, of the Carroll
Free Press, will be a candidate for the
State Senate in his district, and as he is
one of the best and most popular men
in the county, his. election will follow
as a necessary sequence. If we could
transfer our citizenship to Carroll for a
a brief period, Bro. Sharpe would have
one stalwart admirer added to his long
list of supporters. He is a good man.
Let everybody turn out next W ed-
nesday afternoon and aid in the selec
tion of delegates to the county conven
tion. The farmers ought to be special
ly concerned in the objects of this
meeting, and we trust that strong del
egations will be sent up next Thursday
morning. The convention will meet
about 10 o’clock.
Tke Gubernatorial Convention
Will meet in Atlanta on Wednesday
next, 8th inst., to nominate a Governor
and State Hoiise officers, and to select
twelve electors to run on the Presiden
tial ticket. So far as known there will
be no opposition to Governor Gordon,
or to any of the State House officials.
Maj. U. B. Wilkinson, of this city,
will be a candidate before the conven
tion for Presidential elector from the
Fourth Congressional District, and a
strong effort will be made to secure his
nomination. He is at present a mem
ber of the State Democratic Executive
Committee, a position which he has
held for two years past, with honor to
hunself and credit to his party. No
man in Georgia has been pnore closely
identified with the interests of the De
mocracy in all the trying crises through
which the South has passed since the
Deconstruction period, and his distin
guished services in this capacity Cer
tainly entitle him to recognition at the
hands of the party which he has served
so long and so well. We trust he will
be nominated.
Coweta county will be represented in
Che convention by thirteen delegates,
chosen at the. primary elec-
last.
the District Senatorial Convention.
The Democratic Executive Commit
tee of the 36th Senatorial District met
tn Newnan on Saturday, July 21st, ac
cording to published notice. It was re
solved— , *
1st. That the convention to nominate
a Senator for this (36th) district be held
in Newnan on Wednesday, September
3th, 1888.
2d. That delegates to said convention
be selected by militia districts, in each
county entitled to representation in
said convention, and that the represen
tation from each county be the same as
heretofore—each militia district being
entitled to one delegate, in addition to
the usual number of delegates from the
county at large.
The meeting was presided over by
Hon. Geo. J. Martin, chairman of the
committee, Hon. W. A. Post acting as
secretary.
Under the rotation plan Campbell is
entitled to the Senatorship this year,
Messrs. Levi Ballard and J. M. Mason
being the only candidates so far »n-
Our streets have been flooded with a
sort of circus-poster document advoca
ting the claims of Congressman Grimes
for renomination. It is the thinnest,
flabbiest dodge to catch votes that we
have ever known employed in a Con
gressional campaign, and is regarded
with suspicion even by “suckers”
Hon. W. A. Turner is receiving
strong pledges of support from his
friends throughout the State, and will
be a most formidable competitor for
the Judgeship of the Coweta Circuit
when the Legislature convenes.
Mr. Grimes’ campaign circular shows
that he has voted for various measures
since he took his seat in Congress, but
itfaikto show that he succeeded in
passing a single bill. This is an unfor
tunate omission.
Mr. Grimes may enjoy a monopoly
of the seed business, but he lacks up
wards of a good deal having a monopo
ly of the agricultural vote. There is a
vast deal of comfort in this reflection.
If Mr. Grimes had distributed more
seed and fewer campaign circulars in
Coweta county it would have been a
great deal better for him.
The Grimes campaign circular may
prove successful as an electioneering
dodge in Chattahoochee county, but it
won’t take up this way.
Communicated.
What has Mr. Grimes Done ?
I am gratified to note the bold stand
that The Herald and Advertiser
has taken in opposition to Congressman
Grimes, and hope every voter in Cow
eta will take up the cry and work with
the same earnestness to secure his de
feat. The district has not had a more
incompetent representative in Congress
since the war, nor one who has done so
little for his constituents. His nomi
nation was the result of ft combination
on the part of a few Troup county pol
iticians, who could never have succeed
ed in their designs had the issue of
“Grimes” or “anti-Grimes” been fairly
presented to the Democratic voters of
that county. He was a disappointment
to begin with,and has done nothing since
to commend him to the favorable consid
eration of the people. He has been in
Congress now ahgut eighteen months,
and hasn’t made a speech or passed a
bill since he took his seat. He did con
trive, with the assistance of Senator
Brown, to get a bill through providing
for the erection of a public building in
Columbus, but it was so impracticable
a measure that the President promptly
vetoed it. With the co-operation of Sena
tor Brown he also managed to omnibus
a small appropriation through Con
gress for the Chattahoochee river, but
the entire appropriation would scarcely
be sufficient to purchase a dredging
outfit, much less assist is removing ob
structions from the river. He has done
nothing for the farmer, and nothing for
this end of the District. All that he has
tried to do has been for the sole benefit
and behoof of the city of his residence
—Columbus. Last summer, when the
farmers living along the Chattahoochee
river (in Coweta, Heard and Carroll,)
had their growing crops swept away
and ruined by the floods, he was peti
tioned to introduce a bill for the relief
of the sufferers,a large number of whom
were poor men, with families depend
ent upon them for support. Nothing
ever came of it, and so far as the peti
tioners know no bill was ever introduc
ed. Similar petitions were received by
other Congressmen, from different por
tions of the South and West, and the
records show; that vast sums were ap
propriated at various times for the re
lief of the suffering, flood-ridden farm
ers.

Atlanta, Ga.
A citizen of Coweta, and a friend of
Mr. Grimes, applied for a Government
position and solicited his (Grimes’) in
dorsement. This he declined to give,
stating, that Coweta had done noth
ing for him, that he expected
nothing from Coweta, and felt unde?
no obligation to assist a Coweta man.
He did, however, appoint a quasi-
Republican to an important position,
-and in open competition with thirty
other applicants, all of whom were
well-known Democrats.
This is Mr. Grimes’ record, and speaks
for itself. I maintain that he has no
claim upon * the voters of Coweta, nor
of any other county save Muscogee.
He is the only Representative the
Fourth District has ever had in Con
gress who hadn’t sufficient influence
and ability to do something for his con
stituency during his first term. I want
no more of him. Give me a good, hon
est, practical farmer every time in pre
ference. Such a candidate we have in
the person of Hon. John H. Traylor, of
Troup, and I am glad of an opportunity
to support him. Mr. Traylor is oppos
ing the same faction in Troup county
that played Hon. A. D. Freeman such
a scurvy trick two years ago, and I feel
as much interest in breaking up that
ring as do the honest voters of Troup.
Mr. Traylor is not only a practical,
sensible, successful fanner, but a thor
ough Christian. His character is un
assailable. and in point of intelligsnce
he will lose nothing by comparison
with Mr. Grimes. Coweta.
A Card from Col. Carter.
Mr. Editor:—Please allow me through
The Herald and Advertiser to ten
der my sincere gratitude to those of my
fellow-citizens who gave me their sup
port in the recent legislative contest.
For those who preferred another to
myself I have no ill-will and shall har
bor no animosity, for I concede to them
the same right which I claim for my
self. It is the inalienable birthright of
every American to cast his vote and to
throw his influence to such men and
measures as may accord with his own
views.
For each of my opponents I shall en
tertain none other than the kindliest
feelings. For the nominees I shall do
my duty. If a Republican candidate
should enter the race, I am both ready
and willing to render such service in
behalf of Messrs. Atkinson and Jones
as I may be able, for I shall do all in
my power for the' supremacy of the
Democratic party over the machina
tions and corruption of the Republican
partv. I trust that my friends wilj fall
into'line, support the nominees, and
assist in presenting to the enemies of
good government—the Republican par-
S —a solid, unbroken front, that the
jmocratic party may triumph in both
State and Federal elections, thereby
insuring to the country an era of un-
irecedented prosperity and happiness,
'erv truly, Geo. A. Carter.
