THE GKE IT CHICAGO Ml DOLE.
__
After cue, w< ek of the stormiest scenes
ever witnessed on .the A meric tu Conti¬
nent over tho selection of a Presiderts
tial standard-bearer of a political party
t
the Republican Convention, at Chicago
on last Tuesday, succeeded in selecting
their man. Grant, tho groat American
Imperialist, led the van with an average
of about 305 votes—Blaine (tho bloody
ahire) followed with about 1178, while
Sherman, the Shy lock, brought up the
roar with about 116. Many oilier Tes
' sc: lights” wore balloted for, but receiv
lug very few votes.
Finally, after wading through thirty
five ballots and through scones that
would make the Communist smile with
satiddefion, the “dark liorao” was led
to tho front and C . n. DeGolyer Gar¬
field, of Ohio, was, on tlie fjtlih ballot,
Dominated by a vote of 390.
Afterwards Chester A Arthur, of
Mow York, was nominated for Vice
President. So the gre, t Republican
agon; is over and Garfield and Arthur
are - itili-d by tbes • par,>. u> be quali¬
fied to hoist to tho breeze tho “bloody
shirt” and wave it over tho American
Union,
The Enemies of Senator Brown seem
to be '.'cry indigo his appointment
by Govern r Co'quit - although they ac¬
knowledge that Jo.-. :ph E. Brown lias
acted and voted with tho democrats
all the time, yet they cal; him ;=u ailien
and a traitor, aad most bitterly de¬
nounce Governor Colquitt for giving
him the Senators!]ip. We believe that
Gov. Colquitt, has ever had tho good of
th) Stato at heart, and still continues
t o have, and wc say nothing against his
r m-.unination. At the same time there
are other good men who would bo will¬
ing to ace op; the noarnation. Such as
Hardeman, Lester, and Gartrell, and
others: none of whom have more abili¬
ty than Gen. Gartrell.
, A correspondent of ttio Gainsville
Southron, in tecommonding 'of* ling Hon. Hon. li. R E
Lc-atCrfor TM'dflKrff G Govornor, ov *vAry
innocently says that Mr. Lester began
life “a barefoot boy.” That is about
the way that all tho boys in this part
of Georgia begin life. 1 1 may bo differ¬
ent down in Bnrke county where Mr.
Lester was born.
Joseph E Brown is now U* S. Senator
fro;,. Georgia, and all this unnecessary
abuse cf him cannot avail anything.
It is only calculated to breod and add
evil upon our beloved State. We
lou.bt very much whether any of these
abuse: s and getters up of strife, ever
shouldered a musket and marched to
h - front during the late struggle. If
ta -y were there at all, wc imagine they
wore with the commissary or ordiance
trains, or the “pets" of some Gen , Col.
or Capt.

A REFLY
; Me. Editor: 1 have just road your
f comment upon my communication pub
in worn'issue of June 5th, in which
0J, d> et ‘ your.coluuins t-» mo for the
discussion of the propriety o| union
meetings of the dilDreut volitions de
omnioatioas. upon the condition that f
will coniine myself to the rules <u de¬
bate, Will you be so kind as to publish
the rules of debate, so that wo may
understand each other, 1 can assure
you that in tho proposed discussion
there is no desire upon my part to vio
late any rule of fair debate. Wo may
differ as to what is tho true rule of de
bate hence the request t,o publish your
idea of the true rule. The question as
you no doubt understand is this, as you
made it by the publication of your edi
tonal alluded to in my letter to you of
May the 29th,, union meetings, such as
the Gainsville meeting are a blessing to
the community in vvhicti they are held,
You affirm, I deny and say they are a
curse to the community in which they
are held. So you see that tho issue be¬
tween us is sharp and pointed. You I
see assume without trying to prove it,
that Gainsville as the result of one of
these union meetings you praise so
much has had a revival -of religion.
Now Mr. Editor you will pardon mo for
not receiving your assertion 1 ask you
for tho proof. Mere assertions as you
request ly remarked amounts to nothing.
When you make known the rules of de¬
bate or your ideas of the rules then I
will make good the asssertion that un¬
ion meetings, such as the Gainsville
meeting are a curse to the community
in which they are held. You seem to
want to charge it upon me that I am
forcing you into tho proposed discussion
This nay dear sir is a wide mistake, you
well know that for more than .once you
have given your vendors your opinion
that these meetings ware very go id
things when you were well aware of tho
fact that quite a number of a very re
spectable denomination of Christians
were opposed, to Audi meetings as the
Gainsville meeting. If you did nor,
know.it such is the fact. Now let me
say-to you that tho only roaaou that 1
desiro the proposed discussimi is this,
you had repeatedly said in your paper
that such meetings were good things
and at last asked for such a meeting in
-Cleveland. Under this state of facts
brought about by you I thiuk the dis¬
cussion proper and needful, f only de¬
sire truth, let us understand each other
as to tho rules of debate.
A, F, UNDERWOOD
Above will be seen tho Hey. Dr. -V.
F. Underwood's “reply,” as he calls it
to our permission for him to prove his
assertion that such meetings as the
ebmfffiinityTo Gams yilie.meeting woro^acurse
wmen they were Is did*
Ho has not made a single effort to prove
it. \Ve do not blame you, Dr., for not
proving the assertion, but for making
an assertion which you knew yon could
not prove. The Rev. Doctor requests
us to publish tho rules of debate. Does
he not know the rules of discussion,
siueo he has beau to tho Legislature—
to the convention, and has been Mode¬
rator of several Baptist associations.
We did not require the Rev. .Doctor to
comply with rules of debate that we
should demand. We’simply asked him to
comply with tho rules of debate, so that
if discussed at all it should be done in
a gentlemanly way. We asked him
also, to make good his assertion, and
then our columns wore open to the dis¬
cussion. Lie has failed to do it.
Now Doctor, you did assert iu your
communication that Union meetings,
such as Fhey liave had recently in
Gainsville, wore “a curse to any com¬
munity in which they wero held.”
Prove your assertion, Doctor, and the
community, and also we, will bo satis -
tied.
Wo are still of tbo opinion that the
Gainsville meeting L as resulted in great
good; and we believe most all members
of the different religious denominations
are of the same opinion.
We did say, and now repeat it, that
you seem to press tho discussion upon
us. and you very well know that it is
true.
We were not aware, Dr., neither are
we now aware, that “quite a number
ot a very respectable ,, denomination , . .
Christians were opposed to such meet-*
iugs as the Gainsville meeting ” If,
however, however Rnoh such is is the .he e-ise case, ir it is is finite quite
small number, ami we are at a los3
know what denomination it can bo. It
is certainly not tho Baptist denooiiua
■ tion. We have lived among the
j people all oar life, and you, Doctor, are
j the only ono we ever heard express
opposition to such meetings.
You said in y° Br iettcr referred
- that y° a “ assert that such meetings are
a cur£0 t0 an ? community ia they
.
1 are ne,d ’’’ Webs;er S3 * S that t0 assert
is to positively oiflrm. Please prove
yoni affirmation Doctor.
X.c.v Dr., if you are fighting an idea,
you have so far came up to battle with¬
out effectual weapons-; if you arc fight¬
ing truth you are certain to get whip

LADIES TEMPERANCE MEETING,
The writer was ono of the delighted
multitude on Tuesday night, who were
present at the organization of the “Wo
man’s Christian Temperance Union.’
and listened with the deepest interest
to the programme of exercises. The
next morning a notice of tho meeting
and the names of the several speakers
appeared in print. Wishing, however,
to testify more emphatically to tho val¬
ue and importance of this praiseworthg
movement in an editorial yesterday, the
subject was again brought forward and
highly commended.
In tho hurry of composition and tho
absence of notes of any kind, while des¬
canting upon tho remarks of the speak¬
ers, unfortunately tho name of one of
the most eloquent of them all wai omit¬
ted. This was wholly unintentional.
The individual in question our es
teemed and accomnlished friend, Rev.
M. B. Wharton, D. D., was peculiar
ly happy on that occasion. But just re¬
turned from a protracted railroad jaunt
still he could not forbear wending his
way, without even pausing to rest, to
the ladies' temperance meeting. And
when au open debate was announced,
Lbe ,^ octor was the * irst t0 address the
j audience upon the supreme importance
ofthis temperance movement, which
! under the fostering care and personal
: iotiaMco of tho mothers, wives and
j sis'ers of the community, is certain to
achieve a wor)d of goodt His r0tnark3
were listened to with the closest atten¬
tion, and tho “union’ is fortunate in
sucuring the services of so able and
zealous an advocate and champion in
behalf of their worthy cause, as Dr.
