Stories Told Under Inspiration of
Quart Bottle* by a;Few Choice
Spirits Brawn to Atlanta by the
Late Convention.
Atlanta Constitution.
There is a streak of superstition in
the most Intelligent of beings, and it
only requires the occasion to set the
bravest to trembling. A crowd of
choice spirits, drawn to Atlanta by the
recent convention, discovered that in
order to enjoy themselves under the
changed condition of things it was
necessary to furnish a private room
with several substantial looking quart
bottles. After the contents of the first
bottle bad been-disposed of the com
pany became somewhat reflective, and
tales were told for the edification of the
listeners.
“One of the strangest things about
the Beck murder case,” said a geutle-
mun from Rabun, “has not been told.
Beck has a physique which w’puld do
honor to an athlete, and his immaculate
shirt front marks from afar. When he
was put iu jail for the murder of bis
wife and sister lie was always to he
seen at the second story window, where
the reflection of the sun iu the after
noon blinded everyone to all but the
shirt front. Finally he was removed
to Gainesville. Oue afternoon shortly
after a company was gathered on the
front porch of Duncan's hotel, among
them a well-known preacher.
“ *1 see somethi ng over in that win
dow,” remarke 1 the preacher.
Instiuctively the people huddled
close together, as they looked upou the
sight.
“ *lt must be Beck's haunt,' suggest
ed oue.
“ 'Sure's I'm born,’ said the preach
er, ‘it does look like a ghost.’ . .
“A visit to the jail was decided upon,
aud the party, armed with axes, sticks,
aud oilier articles of defense, with the
preacher at their head, started out to
explore the building. They entered
with trepidation, and slowly winding
upstairs, consulted for a moment at
the cell i oor before entering. With
resolution wrought up, and a pale
face, the preacher opened the door,and
almost fainted when the truth flashed
upon him.
“ ‘It’s only a wisp of straw placed iu
a broken window,* lie faltered. A
cacus was at once held in the jail
where all were pledged to secrecy, but
jiie of the ladies of the party told it to
her most particular friend, aud before
noon uext day the particular friend
of everybody else in Clayton knew all
about it.”
“i know a lady who saw a sure
enough ghost,” interrupted a gentle
man from Fultqii. “Her name was
Aunt Martha, aud she lived out here
uear the liver. Her house lay between
the lines when the Federals were press
ing Atlanta. Several years after the
war she picked up a skull on her
farm, which she carried home and
placed under the head of her bed.
That night she had a most horrible
dream. A mail without a head was
walking around the house crying out
morufully for something which he had
lost. At last the latch was lifted, tiie
door was opened, the figure stepped
in, and walking briskly up to the bed
side, exclaimed in thunder tones, ‘1
want uiy head 1’ The lady opened her
eyes and found herself sitting up in
bed, with the skull in her baud, in the
act of giving it to its owner. He ad
justed it on his shoulders, aud bowiug-
his thanks, left the house.”
This story aroused a Walton county
umn, who lives near a haunted house:
“It was one of tiie finest houses iu
Walton county before tiie war, but
when its owner went to the front, the
family left, and tiie house was unin
habited. One day a strange lady and
gentleman, with a beautiful fifteen-
year-old girl, were seen moving about
iu the house. They made no acquaint
ances, aud no one knew them. Stories
began to circulate that at the hour of
midnight terrible cries of pain could be
heard from the house. Then the cries
ceased, and no one was seen around the
place. A committee of curious people
entered the house for investigation one
day. The lady was found chained to
the wall, with provisions within reach,
but no trace of the man or the girl
could be found. The woman refused
to talk, aud that night disappeared.
Ever since that time strange noises
have been heard in that house. A
dozen people have tried to live in it,
hut in vain. One of the most recent
tenants was a preacher. He boldly de
clared his purpose to rely on the pow
er of prayer. One of the first sights
beheld by the people at dawn next day
was a wagon loaded with the preach
er's furniture and family. He shook
his head sadly when questioned, and
refused to make answer.”
A listener from Suinter county, who
had exhibited the greatest interest in
the relation of the above stories claimed
the telling of the next. “One of the
first settlers of Sumter, whose name
was prominent in public matters, iiad
a daughter on whom his heart was set.
She w as of graceful mould, jet black
tresses streamed down over her should
ers, her eyes were of the softest blue
and her lips of the most tempting red.
Her spirits drooped and the brilliance
of her eyes faded. The father pressed
her for the cause of her grief, only to
discover, to his iudignation, that she
deeply loved the teacher who had re
cently taken charge of the local school.
The oULgentieman, as one of the trus
tees, had the offender at once dismiss
ed, and ordered him away from the
country. When he went home his
daughter was missing. His first
thought was that she had eloped, but
on looking at a bend in the Muckalee
river, where the girl used to spend
much of her time in meditation, he
saw in the rushes the outline of a white
figure. It was at once drawn out, and
proved to be the dead body of his
daughter. In tier breast was found a
note: ‘Dear father: As you refuse
to agree to my liappiuess here, I have
sought my bridal itl the Muckalee.
Good-bye.' The old man went home,
and was found dead next morning.
And now, strange to say, on tiie night
of the anniversary of this tragedy, the
figure of a fair youug girl can be seen
running wildly along the banks of the
Muckalee. I have never seen it my
self, but iny father often lias.”
That's notiiing to a tree about a
mile out of Jcderson,” said a stalwart
Jackson county man. “On the road
out past Dr. DeLapriere’s, In a valley,
stands a small tree which does not ap
pear very harmful. Yet, from the
branches of this tree have dangled the
bodies of five as desperate wretches as
ever met their fate at the hands of
Judge Lynch. It was at a time when
the women of the county feared to go
out of sight of their male defenders.
The«e five criminals were caught up
with, and duly passed through the
noose. Since that time the soil for
about fifty feet arouud from the tree
has been positively barren. Not even
a blade of grass w ill sprout there. Tiie
colored people have a dread of tiie
spot, and will not willingly go near it.
Indeed, they tell stories of sights there
which would be blood-curdling, it true.
It is said tha; just at miduight the five
meu can be seen slowly rising up out
of the ground. Forming a circle
around the tree, they dance furiously
for about five minutes, making all
sorts of grimaces. Then they sink as
suddenly . iuto Hie ground again.
Whether this story is true or false, it
has a powerful effect ou the negroes.”
A man with a sunburned head, woke
up at tills point. “The Saw nee moun
tain is full of gold,” said he. “The
only difficulty is gettiug at it. Years
ago there came to Curaming a little
old man who was ftill of enthusiasm
about the discovery of gold. He bad
a unique little lamp, which gave light
through but one circular glass, giving
the appearance, at a distance, of a
bright star. With this lamp he would
start out about fiveo’clock in the even
ing, on his inspection of Sawnee moun
tain. As night became dense, obser
vers could sec the strange Itetit moving
about on the mountain side. Some
times it would died its light down-
it would be turned upward. ’ For
is this continued until the old
man, one morning, failed to return,
him a year nothing was thought of
For. One night a party was retnrn-
ing to Camming from camp meeting
when a strange light was seen to light
up the side of old Sawnee. For an
hour the party stood and watched, not
knowing what to make of it, notil the
old gold hunter was recalled. “It
must be be,” they all said, and yet
none of them had beard of his return.
For months the sceue was repeated,
but nothing was ever seen of the old
man. The war came on, and a well
known citizen of Forsyth, who did not
care to be In the fighting; sought ref
uge in the mouutain. in following
out an old beaten path one day, which
led up precipitous height, be <
upou a delightful lookiug spot, where
the stunted trees seemed to form a
temple by arching into each other. He
stepped forward and there beheld a
skeleton. In the bones of the right
hand was grasped the peculiar little

lamp. By the skeleton wa* a pile of guage
gold which the old man had gathered.
It was evident that having amassed
it, he was afraid to leave it, and lying
down by it, died, while his light con
tinued to send out warning to the peo
ple below. The refugee carefully
marked the spot, and departed, in
tending to return at a more opportune
time to secure the gold. This he has
never been able to do, however, for he
has never since been able to trace out
the path to tbe old man's retreat.”
About this time it was noticed that
all tiie quart bottles bad been emptied,
and one by one the story tellers had
fallen asleep!
Posies From the Pen.
The latest display of matrimonial
eloquence is furnished by the Ellijay
Courier, in the following paragraph:
-One by one the roses fall. Thursday
evening last at 8 o'clock a happy mar
riage was consummated between Mr.
Joseph Hyde aud Miss Mary Chastain.
Tiie marriage solemnities were per
formed by B. B. Bradley, our young
and efficient magistrale, who is very
anxious to solemnize the rites of mat
rimony iu a graceful and dignified
manucr. Man is a creature that may
be surrounded by nil the pomp and
splendor of earth, and gold aud silver
ofOphir heaped around him, ami he
may dwell in tbe most magnificent
mansion tiie world ever saw, aud on
his ciieeks may linger the fresh bloom
of youth, and may seem to enjoy the
halcyon days of youth, while sweet
memories are crowded by still sweeter,
and may gaze upon amaranthine fields
and verdant forests when they are
putting on vernal robes of regaled
splendor, and inhale the balmy breeze,
but ills life lies iu tiie icy shroud of
grim winter, where the howling bliz
zard wliishes the requiem of blighted
hopes, still there remains an aching
void within a vacuum in the heart of
mau that nothing but a true and lov
ing wife can fill, who, with willing
hands and loving smiles, can bid toils
and cares forever depart. Surely tills
would be a paradise, an Edeu of inex
haustible pleasure, an abode of bliss,
where tiie weary cease from troubling
and be forever at rest. Graced by tiie
glorious effulgence ot feminine beauty,
man is of all creatures the most happy,
when iu* lends his bride to the sacred
shrine of matrimony.

A Typical Statesman.
The Conflict.
More than any other man in Ameri
can politics to-day, Senator A. H. Col
quitt represents the moral aud Chris
tian sentiment of the American people.
He is the divinely chosen leader of a
great revolution which is destined to
sweep the country. He has won the
admiration, confidence aud aflectiou of
every pure aud patriotic mau iu the na-
tiou, and arouud him all such men
will rally in tiie great struggle that is
now going on between infidels, mam
mon worshippers, gamblers, dogger-
ries and demagogues on the one side
and Christian purity, honesty and hon
or upon the other. He is the one bright
political star to which good men iu
every section of our great repub' ic
are,looking for guidance. What a back
ground for this moral hero is made by
the political tricksters,time-servers and
cow ards who despise and traduce him.
For such a man no crown is too bright
and no empire is too vast. Tiie vir
tuous sentiment of tiie American peo
ple is impatient for an opportunity to
place him where he deserves to stand.

the unpretentious house of old Sam
Saber. Alter supper, while the candi

proached. “Coiue here, my son. Sit

“You did?” “Ah, hah.” “Were

“No, he couldn’t bite me. 1 could git

you can tell tiie people that you sat on

Last spring my flask ran dry twen

bound down the river in a small cruis
ing craft, and iiad a pretty fair kuow*l-
edge of the properties of the water in
Eastern Florida. I went the rounds
of the stores, but could get no whisky.
“But I can fix you up,” said one of
the storekeepers, cheerfully. “Take
along a dozen bottles of Jamaica gin
ger and a gallon of hard cider. Let
me show you.”
The man poured half tiie contents of
a four-ounce bottle iuto a tumbler.
“What’s that?” I asked.
“Jamaica ginger.”
“Great Scott!”
Then tiie storekeeper went to a bar
rel and drew tiie glass full of cider.
“Try that,” be said. “The health
iest drink in the world, and it'll make
you fuller’n a goat.”
Tiie Jamaica ginger was alcohol witli
a (lash of essence of ginger. The eider
was vinegar rainwater and cane sugar.
The drink was the vilest that tiie in

It's Jamaica ginger. There isn’t a

A Vermont Bridegrooi
Boston Evening Record.
The story about tiie Vermonter w ho
proposed to add half a dollar to tiie
amount which the “law* allowed” the
parsou for marrying him, has brought
to the Historian >a bran new story of
another wediug-fee transaction iu
Vermont. It is front a glen village
away back from the Connecticut, in
the hills, where money is scarce, and
the ways are primitive, and tiie people
freqeutiy prefer to pay for their pur
chase in kind. Oue day a young cou
ple came to the parson at the village to
be married. They hadn’t a cent ot
money, and it had been arrauged that
tiie bridegroom should bring a speci
fied quantity of beeswax,with which to
pay the minister. The parson was
thrifty—they had to be thrifty up tliat
way—and took good care, before he
performed tiie ceremony, to weigh
out tiie beeswax and see whether
there was euougli to pay his fee. There
wasn't.
“Why haven’t you brought all the
beeswax you agreed to?” asked the
parson.
“All I had, parson.”
“And you haven't got any more ?
“Not auother ounce.”
“Have you got any money at all ?”
“Not a mite, parson.”
There was a period of uncomfortable
silence, duriug which the youug farm
er began to grow very lunch alarmed.
He was afraid the parson wouldn't
marry him unless he produced his ut
termost ounce of beeswax, and the
prospect struck terror to his soul. The
parson was inclined to let him “stew.”
• “Look a'bear, parsou!” said the
countryman finally, “I’ll tell ye what
ye do; you take tbe beeswax aud mar
ry us fur as it goes!”
Pal’s Gentle Surrender*
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Augusta Chronicle furnishes that pa
per with this dramatic scene witnessed
in the former city on the evening pre
ceding tbe convention:
“Mr. Walsh was standing with his
right arm resting oil the hotel counter
talking with another friend when Mr.
Grady came np behind him. It was
the first time they had met since Grady
had kept up his fusilade against ‘States
man Walsh.’ Approaching without a
word, Mr. Grady laid his right hand
on Mr. Walsh's left shoulder, and as
tbe latter turned to face him carried
bis left hand to his right sbonlder. With
an 1-didu't-mean-any-harm ;-you-are
not-mad? sortot a look peeping from
his merry eyes, Grady looked into the
face of Mr. Walsh. The latter was
taken by surprise and at first seemed
undecided, but his big Irish heart
could not harbor ill feeling, and with
au expression of you-won’t-do-it-any-
iuore,-you-rascal ? stealing over his
face, he grasped Grady's extended
band. Nota word had been said, but
the past was forgotten. Still grasping
Mr. Walsh’s hand, Grady led him over
to Captain Evan Howell, who was
standing uear, and In a little while they
were engaged in earnest consultation.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some af
fection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms o* indi
gestion are present, flatulency, uneas
iness of the stomach, etc. A moisture,
like perspiration, producing a very
disagreeable itching, after gett*
warm, is a common attendant. Bli

With the needful historical correc
tions that the attack on Ticonderogo
by Abercrombie took place iu 1775,
And that Dr. Sham burg dkl not com
pose the tune of “Yankee Doodle,”
the abbve as quoted is generally cor
rect. Another authority states that
the song originally appeared iu a Bos
ton newspaper in 1775, tinder tiie title
of “The Yankee’s Return from Camp.”
This version of the famous song ap-
peares iu the Historical Collections ol
New Hampshire. The first verse and
chorus of this version are as follows:
Fatner amt I went down to Camp,
Along with Captain Tootling,
And there we see the men and boys.
As thick as hasty padding.
Yankee Doodle, keep it op,
Yankee Doodle candy.
Mind *he music and the step,
And with the girls be handy.
There are fitceu additional verses in this
version of the song. There is a mis
take somewhere, for “Yankee Doodle,”
in both words aud music, has a lineage
that dates farther back titan either 1775
or 1758. In an old newspajier. The
Columbian Gazette,published mGeorge
town, D. C., during the early years of
this century, appears a letter from a
correspondent telling of liis having
seen, iu tiie collection of a gentleman
in Cheltenham, England, called “Mus
ical Antiquities of England,” a song
entitled “Yankee Doodle,” one of the
verses of which ran as follows:
Yankee Doodle came to town,
Upon a II.tie pony,
With a leatiivi .u his hat,
Upon a Macar ini.
'Hie song was written after the restor
ation of Charles II., and tiie verse
given is a satirical allusion to Crom
well’s going to Oxford, on a small
horse, with his single plume fastened
to his hat by a small knot called a
Msicaroui.”
Watson, iu his “Occurrences ol the
Revolution,” says: • “BeforeYlie Rev
olution, under another name, ‘Lydia
Fisher’ (“Yankee Doodle’) was a. fav
orite New Englaud jig, the custom be-
iug to sing it witn impromptu words,
such as: .
“Lydia Locket lost her pocket,
Lydia Fischer found it.
Not a bit of money in it.
Only binding ioun<l it,
which instead of being an impromp
tu verse, is part o! a song from Gay’s
“Beggar’s Opera,” first performed in
1727. Miss Clay ton, in her “Lives of
Celebrated singers,” asserts that from
that opera the time was derived; but
tiie fact is that it was only one of the
many popular airs of the time that
were incorporated in tiie opera. Dur
ing tiie Revolution, when arms and
ammunition were carried from Boston
iuto the country in carts, ostensibly
loaded with manure, the British offi
cers adapted the following words to
tiie tune:
Yankee Poodle came to town.
For to buy a firelock,
We will tar and feuther him,
And so we will Jonn Hancock.
Watson in his “Annals of Philadel
phia,” says that John Carr, who
opened tliefirst music store in Baltimore
iu 17117, had a book of tunes oue called
Air from Ulysses,” an English
opera, written for Lincoln's luu Field's
Theatre, London, about 1731, by John
Christian Smith, which was identical
with the air of “Yaukee Doodle.” Wat
son gives the first verse of tiie original
American song:
Yankee Doodle keep it np,
Do It neat and bnndv:
The boy ro flog the British troops,
Is Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Clearly all patriotic Americans should
feel proud of“Yankee Doodle.” Writ
ten originally to satirize the dead Pro
tector Oliver Cromwell, by some friend
of the newly-returned Stuart. Charles
II, nearly a century later it was still
popular enough to be used in the great
est dramatic success of the age; a
second time it appeared in opera, aud
theu crossed the Atlantic, where it at
once became a favorite. Although
used by the British as a means of pok
ing fun at the recruits in the army, in
less than fifty years the song was used
by the descendants of those recruits as
a battle cry when chasing the British
out of the United States. Tbe song of
“Yankee Doodle” truthfully repre
sents the spirit of the nation, and long

THE VALLEY OF SILENCE.
BT FATHER BY AN.
In the hush of the Valley of Silence
I dream all the songs that I sing;
And the music floats down the dim valley.
Till each finde a word for a wing,
That to hearts, like the dove of the Deluge.
-A message of peace they may bring.
But far on the deep there are billows
That never shall break on the beach;
And I have heard songs in the silence
That never shall float into speech;
And 1 have had dreams in tbe valley - l ‘J
Too lofty for language to reach.
And I have seen thoughts in the valley—
Ah me! kow my spirit was stirred!
Aari they wear holly veils on their face*—
Their lootsteps can scarcely be heard;
ley pass throngh the valley like virgins,
Too pure tor tue touch of a word.
i ask me the place of the valley,-
cans that are harrowed by carel
It lieth afar between mountains,
And God and His Angels are there;
And one is the dark mountain of borrow.
And one the bright mountain of Prayer!

Itfsmot:surprising that New Eng
land is prosperous! It is not more re
markable that the States and commu
nities which hate reaped so rich a har
vest from our protection policy should
clibgto that policy with the tenacity
of the horse leech's daughter. We
have long heard of the “thrift” of that
portion orthe population of the United
States; it has “thriven” at the expense
of the whole agricultural population of
the country. The working people of
the South and West, and of the agri
cultural districts ot the North, are fully
as industrious, work fully as hard, and
as many hours in the day and in the
year as the operatives in the New
Eugland manufactories, but they have
little to show for it. The savings of
the people of twelve of tbe Southern
States for twenty years, amount to
$1000,000,000 at a liberal estimate.
The population of these States is over
15,000,000. In tiie single manufac
turing State of Connecticut 220,000
operatives of the lowest paid class of
wage earners have $92,000,000 deposit
ed to their credit in savings banks,and
the same class in two of the New
England States are rich enough to buy
out the property owners in two, three,
or even four of the agricultural States
of this section.
How do tiie farmers of the South

tion ? Of tiie $400,000,000 paid auuual-
ly by tiie farmers of the United States

American Labor.
Cuthberfe Liberal.
The American farmer/ in the eyes
of the protectionist, does not rise to
the dignity of an American laborer.
He is a sort of serf or slave to be used
in the protection of the diguified la
borer who works in mines and manu
factories. The high tariff ad voc te is
never so happy as when dealifig ont
his twaddle about “protecting Ameri
can laborers.” When the tariff is
crushing two-thirds of the whole num
ber of American laborers with a load
of taxation under which no class ol
laborers can prosper. The Georgia
farmer is accustomed to complain at
the ruinous rate of interest he is com
pelled to pay to the money lenders,
aud even the high tariff papers of the
State issue occasional notes of warning
to the farmer ou this line of thought.
It if not the usury exacted by the
inouey lender that is crushing tbe
Georgia farmer. It is the unjust
and exorbitant usury exacted by the
government to fill the coffers of the
few who are engaged in manufactures,
that is ruuning every man engaged in
agriculture, not only in Georgia, hut
in every State of the Union. In the
cities of Georgia are organized bodies
of men who labor in factories of differ
ent kiuds, who dignify themselves with
the high sounding title of “Knights of
Labor.” They compose perhaps one
twentieth of the wbo)e number of
Georgia laborers. And yet these few
arrogate to themselves the right to say
that It is necessary to oppress tiie agri
culturalists of tbe State, who include
nineteen twentieths of tbe laborers,
with a tax of fifty (or greater) percent
upou every manufactured article they
consume, in order that American labor
may be protected! And the Georgia
farmer quietly submits to the dictation
of his insignificant minority, by send
ing to United States Senate a man who
favors and supports this monster op
pression! Do away with the usury
exacted by tiie tariff tax, aud the Geor
gia farmer cau afford to pay the usury
exacted by the money lender. It is tbe
former, and not the latter, that is eat
ing up liis substance.

Atlanta has been called “Kimball-

“Colonel ville,” in truth and soberness.
There o*ay not be more colonels to the

other places, but when a political con
vention meets there, there is an aggre
gation of colonels—Georgia colonels—
such as is most likely never seen any
where else; It was soon this occasion.
The two principal hotels and the streets
near them were thronged with colo
nels. They and the judges came from
all sections of the State, and repre
sented all callings. It matters not
what a man's standing w as at home,
he became a colonel as soon as he pat
his name on the hotel register. There
are a few exceptions to this—we mean
those who are judges. No matter what
a man’s standing is at home—if he is

hest of his wife or tremble at the

tion he puts on immeasurable dignity
and is recognized as a colonel.

The Co*n eniion Adjourned to
Avoid Acting' ou It—The Fact* in
the Case.
Atlanta correspondent Mai *» t Telegraph.
Atlanta, July 31.—Very much to
my surprise, both the Constitution and
the Atlanta,Evening Journal, both per
sonal Gordon organs, iUvtheir: reports
on Thursday of the. convention-'falsi
fied the account of what the conven
tion did in reference to Colonel Pike
Hill’s resolution “indorsing the Rail
road Com mission as it now stands.”
Both papers say that the resolution
was tabled. .Were this truss, it would
be bad enough, heaven knows, for
Gordon, the' Constitution aud DuPont
Guerry had mode the campaign on
Gordon’s bc’ng for tbe Railroad Com
mission as it now stands; but tiie Gor
don convention w as not so houest, for
to table it wr mid have beeu to have
voted on it, which was uot done. That
there was uo vote on it, notwithstand
ing Colonel Hill’s imploring the con
vention to vote on it, to tabt-a If it
cry*...
DuPont Guerry, the persoual repre
sentative of J uo. B. Gordon, and the
seconder of his nomination, moved to
thunk the officers of the convention
for their efficiency and to adjourn. The
chair said that tbe motion really con
tained two sections, and that there
fore it was debatable. Fearing that
Col. UUI would have au opportunity
to debate liis resolution under this de
cision, Guerry w as guilty of the dis
courtesy of withdrawing the part of
his motiou to tliank.the officers of the
convention, aud pressed his motion to
adjourn, although it was then very ear
ly in tbe evening, uot being inter than
a quarter past eight o’clock. Guerry
w-as recognized as a Gordon spokes
man, aud of course, on his motion to
adjourn, the Gordon conveutiou backed
him up, and so tiie convention did ad
journ, leaving tiie resolution to iudorse
“the Railroad Commission as it now
stands” unacted upon
It is very true that tiie Gordon meu
may claim that there was but a slim at
tendance at the hour named, and thar
tiie few remaining did not like to act
on so important a matter, but these
same few did not hesitate’to pledge
the party of Georgia in an indorsement
of the adiuiiiistratiou of Grover Cleve
land, wlieu good Democrats all over
the Stale had but a few- months siuee,
over tiieir own signatures in the Au
gusta Chronicle, condemned the 'civil
service uou.-eiise of this same Grover
Cleveland.
Nor did these same few; hesitate to
recoin mend primaries aud mass mcc;-
ings for State nominations to be held
in ail the counties ou tiie same day.
John B. Gordon was personally rep
resented auioug those few by Du
Pont Guerry,who led the majority, and
the responsibility rests directly on him
and his immediate persoual supporters
for shirking to iudorse “.he Railroad
Commission as it now stands.” He
and his coterie had made the campaign
on that issue, and it behooved them to
place themselves straig.it before tiie
