DEMOCRA i IC CANDIDATES
jPQK PRES II; ENT,
WI,NFJRLD S. HANCOCK,
.OF .PENNSYLVANIA.
'FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
WILLIAM H ENGLISH,
OF INDIANA.
We aro sorry to hear of the death of
Ex Governor, Ilcrschel V. Johnson,
He was one uf Georgias’ noble patriotic
statesmen, and one of her most useful
citizens. All must- go, the great as wejl
as the small,- the wise as well as the
ignorant, and we, none of -us know
hen the hoar ’cometh. Let us bo
ready.
NO COMPROMISE.
L nee it seems that there can be no
c.imp'-omiso in regard to tho selection
ot a ;violate for Governor this side of
tho ballot tux, we shall, believing that
’.he pi sent incumbent, Alfred H. Col
quite, is by a large majoiity the .choice
i f the people and justly so, we are
emphatically for Alfred H. Colquitt for
(Governor.
Wo are sorry to sec the democracy
of our State divided through personal
ambition; yet we are decidedly in favor
of tho i ijoritv rule, from tho very fac£
that it is one of the .fundamental princi
* pies of Democracy, and the only means
by whiea a choice of the people can ho
had.
Ou of 350 delogates Governor Cob
qnitt received 220, which plainly shows
to any man, even though he has but
aim eye, that Colquitt is the choice of
the people, and wo are truly sorry that
ourminoiity brethren of the conven
tion let their ambition overrule their
good judgement, and hope that they
will, after mature consideration, unite
with the majority and move on har¬
moniously together. However, if they
wuil not be reconciled, .we hope that
.ail will abstain from personal abuse,
and let the ballot box decide tho con¬
test.
While some may find fault with the
present administration, we do not; if
perfection in all things was to be expec¬
ted of man wo might: but it jsgeuerally
conceded that flic finances of the State
arc in the very best condition, and the
State prosperous, and her credit never
■better. Then why find fault! As for
the appointment of Joseph E. Brown
to the Senate, we do not think the
Governor could havo done better.

THE GCfVEEXOU’S RESPONSE.
Atlanta, Ga., August 12, 1880.—
■Messrs. Pillip L Cohen, Randolph
Rideelcv, It Jonos, Willis A Hawkins,
F. M. Longley, George M- Nolan,
Samuel Hall, David Buekofzer, Tyler
M Peeples, Committee—
Gentlemen: I havo the honor .to(ac¬
knowledge tho receipt of your letter,
notifying me that the State Democratic
convention of Georgia has selected mo
by a large majority as the, Democratic
candidate for governor in the coming
State election, and I hereby signify my
acceptance of tho trust. Dor the kmd
torms in which you have couched y,our
letter, I beg to assure you of ,my appre¬
ciation,
.Entering ,upun t,he duties af the ex¬
ecutive office ueavly four years ago, in
a period of general depression, I was
conscious of the unusual burden that 1
assumed, and I brought to the discharge
of duty att earnest desire that my ad¬
ministration might bring maternal re.
suits of benefit to our beloved State In
every act I have performed as a public
servant qiuce I have filled the post
1 occupy, the interest and honor of
Georgia have beeo my inspiration, and
not to the extent of ‘one poor scruple’
have I betrayed .or slept over toy trust.
It has been gratifying to me to see a
steady fare improvement in individual wel¬
and in evory phase of the public
condition,.and I am pot inaensiiblo to the
compliment .conveyed in your letter that
you accord to mo .credit for these t eeutlts
to the full extern that aa es- cutive
may properly claim in our scheme of
public polity. Among the valuable re¬
sults wrought in these years are,-an el¬
evated .State credit, a diminished pub¬
lic debt, a decreased rata of taxati n,
.enlarged sources of iaeome, exaltation
of the State’s dignity abroad, and an
abatement of sectional strife .through
Georgia’s influence. To these may ho
added kindlier relations between the
white and colored races, duo tea li-bi ral
spirit in the encouragement of popular
education and equal justice in tho pro¬
tection of ail races in every right of
citizenship to the fullest extent of ex¬
ecutive authority.
I consider it the duty of all the pa¬
triotic people belonging to either race,
to encourage cordiality aud kindness he
tween the races. It is especially the
duty of the white race having the advan¬
tage which they now possess in educa¬
tion and in tho possession of property,
to see that full aud impartial justice is
done to the colored race by every de¬
partment of the government.
I will cay further that the State gov¬
ernment should do all that can reason¬
ably be done to promote popular educa¬
tion, and that each race should partici
pate .equally and fairly in the distribrn
tion of all puolic moneys raised for that
purpose, in proportion to the uumber of
children which belonging to each, within the
ages entitle them to the benefits
of education at public expenso, as pro¬
vided by law.
f may mention as an evidence of in¬
creased prosperity that if the returns
from tho one hundred counties heard
from by the comptroller general afford
a basis for judging, the wealth of Geor¬
gia will show an increase of fully ten
millions of dollars this single year.
It may not ho inappropriate in this
connection for me to say something on
the subject of onr system of transpor¬
tation, as it is one that very materially
affects the interests of our fellow-citi¬
zens. Alueh complaint having been
made iu reference to the inequalities
and discriminations in our rail road
system, the last general assembly took
up that question, and after great delib¬
eration passed the act now upon our
statute book, a leading feature of which
was the establishment of a railroad
commission. It was not to be expected
that the commissioners could in a short
time so adjust the whole railroad sys¬
tem in Georgia as to prevent all dis
criminations, and do justice alike to all
tho people aud to the rail road compa¬
nies.
I am gratified to learn, however, that
very great progress has been made to¬
ward a satisfactory solution of this
whole question. I cannot doubt that
the able and intelligent gentlemen who
have the matter iu charge as commis¬
sioners, will, during the coming year,
he able to harmonize tho different con¬
flicting elements, and to eystemize tho
whole business of transportation by
rail in the State as to place it upon a
just and equitable basis, I trust that
both the transportation companies and
the people will be content to await de¬
velopments for a reasonable time until
the problem has been fairly solved.
The people of the State have the right
to ’demand that their freights be carried
at iho lowest figure that will secure to!
the stockholders who have unvested 1
their money in railroad dividends.;;pou enterprises, the* j
reasonable and juet I
investment. i
While on this point I desire to remaik
further that ! am aware that.c msidora-!
hie disquietude has been manifested 'ey
our people m inference to our great
Sra'e property, the Western and Atlan¬
tic railroad, growing out of the exten¬
sive combinations and conso'idatious of
the railroad interests. au(i the rapid
changes which have been made in the
ownership of the diff'rent lines con¬
necting with onr State system, and es
piciiHy with tho Western and Atlantic
lailroad.
1 have looked carefully into the lease
and to the act providing tho loaso of
the Western and Atlantic railroad, and
l find that all discriminations against
persons or corporations in this State,
are positively forbidden by tho act. It
will be my purpose to sec that this act
is faithfully .canied out .in letter and
spirit.
The Western and Atlaut.e railroad is
a great public high way,,connecting the
transportation lines between the coast
and the West, and it should be per
perpetual y used as an open highway,
over which every person and every .rail¬
road company should have an equal
right to pass upon terms of perfect
equality. To carry out this object it
will be .very important that the State
should retain at all times the control of
this great highway in her own bauds
I am. therefore, opposed to the sale of
tfie Western and Atlantic railroad, and
should not hesitate to withhold my sig¬
nature, as the executive of Georgia,
front any act .providing for the sale of
the road, or of any disposition of it that
puts it beyond .the power of tho State
to keep it open alike to the use qf all
corporations upon terms of perfect
equality. Wfiile these remarks probably
ate
not dieted by your eognmuuieation, they
relate to s.uhjccts of public interest so
momentous in their cb;tractor that I
feel 1 am due no apology for having
made this public state i.ent.in reference
to my position aud policy on these vital
issues,
jFeeiing grateful f or the continued
manifestation of the .respect and confi¬
dence of tho people of Georgia, as
.shown by their indorsement in prirna
ry meetings, and the action of the Dem¬
ocratic convention I take fresh .courage
for tho work that is before me, and as
I have been true to the interests of
Georgia in tho past, I will not falter in
the discharge of duty iu tho future.
Very respectfully, .your obedient ser¬
vant, * / COLQUITT.

LETTER FROM UNION COUNTY.
Mountain Hove, Aug. If.
Mr. Editor: On Monday evening
Aug. 2nd, Mr. Ike Freeman while going
from i, V- Smith’s, via Young's ford,
Notloy river, to Blairsvjllo, was instant¬
ly killed by an electric flash. Tho cir¬
cumstances are theso:
A dark cloud arose and rapidly cov¬
ered the sky, the thunder was loudly
roaring the lightning flashing terrifical¬
ly—the rain falling thick and fast. No
house being near, Mr. .John McCoy and
Mr. Freeman, tried to shelter them¬
selves by getting under the wagon, hut
soon the water rushing with a torrents
impetuosity, drove them from this rest¬
ing place, and while Mr. McCoy drove
the wagon to higher ground, and again
sought its welcome shelter, Mr. Freeman
made for an umbrageous tree of the
whiteoak class. Just before he reach¬
ed it, a terrible explosion of electricity
ended his earthly career. No one saw
him fall, for Mr, M. was severely shock¬
ed, only remembering the dreadful peal
of thunder, wltfeli sounded to him
like numberless whips cracking iu his
ears- For some time he was senseless.
When he began to recover, his first
thought was that the wagon had run
over his head. At length partialy re¬
stored to bis right mind, he called for
Ike but no answer came—alarmed he
began to search for him aud soon found
him lying breathless near a bush which
was struck by the lightning. I do not
think the bolt of lightning struck Mr.
F., but that it bursted near him with
such great force as to cause instanta¬
neous death.
Air. F. was about twenty-five years
of age, highly respected by all who
knew him. As perfect a picture of
health and manhood, as you rarely ever
see. Kind to all, especially to his aged
mother, who undoubtedly will soon
follow him. 4- short while before his
death Mr. F. told his sister that he
would not live long, and that he would
die suddenly, also that he was prepared.
We sympathise with the bereaved, and
trust that that Being who reigns in
Heayen may bear them up in this af¬
fliction, May we profit by this act of
Providence for we know not whose
time is next. Then now infinitely im¬
portant to always be ready, so that
wheu the spark of immortality with
which wo are endowed is separated from
the body, it may wend its way across
the dark river aud finally reach the
celestial eity, “where tho wicked cease
to trouble and the weary ever rest.”
I am respectfully, Weston.
