10 CENT The Columbus Enquirer-8un has been claiming Talbot county tor Grimes, notwithstanding the action of the Democratic mass meeting in that county on the first Tuesday in July, which declared for Gorman. The fol- WilKLY CIRCULATION, 1,750. Editor. RATIONAL democratic ticket. 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.

Greatest improvements yet produced. THOS. M. CLARKE & CO. General Agents, 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.
