THE PBECEDENT.
During the present Congressional
campaign a great deal has been said
about the action of the District Execu
tive Committee. It is a well-known
fact that the committee recommended
that all the counties in the district
hold primaries on the same day, and
set a3 that day the 30th of July.
At once there was a great hue and
cry raised by the Stevens organs. The
committee was roundly abused and
nothing was too mean for the organs
to say about the committee. The
action of the committee was condemn
ed as being dictatorial and without
precedent.
In the consciousness of being right
the committee has gone ahead and
stood by their action and refused to
retract what they have done. They
claim it as their right, and. have al
ways maintained that delegates elected
under this requirement were the only
ones entitled to a seat in the conven
tion.
In this connection the proceedings
of a previous congressional convention
may prove of considerable interest.
On the 25th of August 18SG, the
convention met at Camilla. In the
News and Advertiser of the morn
ing of the 26th the full proceedings
were published, signed by H. M, Mc
Intosh, chairman, and C. P. Hansell
and J. L. Underwood as secretaries.
We make the following extract:
At 3 p. m. the convention re-assem
bled, and was called to order by Hon.
M. O’Neal. Mr. Beck, chairman of
the committee on organization, sub
mitted the following report.
“We, your committee on credentials,
rules and organization, beg leave to
make the following report:
1. Wo recommend as permanent
chairman of this convention Hon. H.
M. McIntosh, of Dougherty county.
2. We recommend as ‘permanent
secretaries C. P. Hansell and J. L
Underwood.
3. ' We recommend that the delegates
whose names are hereto attached be
admitted to seats in this convention.
4. We recommend that this conven
tion adopt the majority rule to govern
them in the nomination of a candidate
for congress. Bespecttully submitted.
J. J. Beck,
C. B T witty, Chairman.
Secretary.
The report then says:
Mr. McLendon, of Thomas, offered
the following as a minority report for
the fourth recommendation:
We, the urdersigned constituting a
part of the committee of organization,
credentials and rules, beg leave to sub
mit the following minority report:
We recommend as a substitute for
the majority report the following reso
lutions, and respectfnliy recommend
and urge their adoption:
Besolved, 1. That the two-thirds
rule shall be enforced in the nomina
tion'to be made by this convention.
2. That each county composing the
Second Congressional district, in
selecting delegates to the convention
to assemble in 1888, be requested to ex
press its choice as between the major
ity and two-thirds rules as a law
governing nominations by the Demo
cratic party of this district.
Besolved further, That we recom
mend the permanent enforcement of
the rule receiving the endorsement of
a majority of the counties as herein
provided.
Besolved further, That the District
Executive Committee he requested to
bring this matter to the attention of
the district in calling the next con
vention, and that the district.commit-
tee recommend a day on which action
shall be had in all the counties.
S. G. McLendon, H. C. Sheffield, -
J. M. Griggs, Clarence Wilson,
W. W. Choney, J. W. Walters,
W. E. Gay, Jr., James Mullegan.
The two-thirds rule mentioned in
Mr. McLendon’s report was lost, and
the majority rule-maintained.
•The report then again says: -
The other resolutions'offered by Mr.
S. G. McLendon for the_minority of
tho committee were amended by add
ing. on motion of Cpl. Wright, of
Thomas, at the end, “by primary elec
tions;” and adopted unanimously.
w these extracts are taken from
the proceedings of a congressional con
vention and are vouched for by many
people who were present as being cor
rect.
This shows that under a precedent
already established that the committee
had a perfect right to do as it has
done. At the time the previous con
vention adopted the rale no objection
was made and never has been made
until Mr. Stevens saw it would do his
weak cause no good and he immediate
ly had his henchmen raise a great fuss
about it.
Will they have the honesty and fair
ness to give their readers these cold
facts ?
They may hut we doubt it, as it will
not suit their purposes ot abuse and
gross misrepresentation.
BAKES COUNTY DEROCRACt,

A HIBED DEMOCKAT.
The fool of all fools who edit3 and
publishes a Democratic paper at Way-
cross under contract, while at heart is
a vile Bepublican, has this to say of
affairs in the Second district:
“Over in the second district Mr. O.
B. Stevens has “got the drop on the
boys,” and is carrying things in the
Democratic primaries his own way.
He is opposed by the Third party sec
tion of the allianceand by the straight-
out Democrats, but he appears to be
carrying the Ocala idea on one shoul
der and Democratic votes on the other
very successfully. There are lively
times ahead in the Second. We
wouldn’t be surprised to see Hon, B.
E. Russell, the gifted and versatile
Ben, go “agin” him in the convention,
and failing there, run an independent
schedule for Congress,”
Now the above is rather lresh, and
shows utter ignorance of the writer,
while it does Mr, Bussell an unjustice
of no small degree.
In the Arst place the contract Dem
ocrat at Waycross doesn’t knew what
he is talking about when he says that
Third party Stevens has the three
drop on the boys.
Mr. Stevens has only six out ot the
Afteen, which shows very conclusively
that he hasn’t got the “drop on the
boys.”
Secondly: Mr. Sussell is a Demo
crat, and a true one. He seeks the
Democratic nomination, in accordance
with Democratic usuages, and if he
fails to get tho nomination under a
tair management of affairs,' he will be
the last man to bolt the action of bis
party.
The News and Advertiser hurls
the false insinuations against bright
Ben Bussell back into the teeth of
Waycross’hired Democrat and stamp
such insinuations as base as base can
be.
STEVENS IN BAKER.
We And a special in a late issue of
the Macon Telegraph from Newton.
. That special is ot considerable, in
terest to our readers and we give it as
follows:
Hon. O. B. Stevens, of Dawson, was
in town this week. He kept so quiet
and discussed politics so little that one
of our citizens asked him the object of
his visit. Was it for the interest of his
warehouse business; and he replied
that he was looking at the crops and
attending protracted religious services.
Mr. Stevens is not the choice of our
connty. The people are anxious to
have Ben Bussell to come here and
discuss the political situation of the
day. It will result in much good.
The Third party of Baker county are
stronger than a great many people be
lieve that they are, and will support
Stevens, believing that as soon as Mr
Stevens is nominated he will declare
himself for them.
So it seems that Tobe has given up
his political canvass and gone to at
tending religious meetings. This is a
good idea, because Tobe stands about
as little chance of going to congress as
any Third party man we know of.
Ben Bussell has struck the popular
chord and the people are clamoring for
him and will send him as their ntxt
representative in congress. The peo
ple recognize in Ben Bussell a Demo
crat true and tried, and a man that
will always remain truj to the princi
ples of Democracy.
MARRIAGE UNDER DIFFICUL
TIES.
An Englishman married an Ameri-.
can not long since, and, as they were
both in Borne, it seemed most expedi
ent to have the ceremony performed
there. When they marry again, they
will choose another city. Their ar
rangements were all made, when it
became necessary for the groom to go
to England, which he could easily do
before the appointed time. But when
he returned, he found that the Italian
law insisted that three weeks’ resi
dence before the ceremony be contin
uous, and the consular influence of the
two contracting nations could not
persuade the Italian authorities to re
gard the Englishman’s brief absence
as less tban a change of residence; the
three weeks, accordingly, had to be
lived over again from the date of his
return, and to the utter disruption ol
their plans. When the day arrived,
the ceremony, they found, must take
place at the capitol. The bride leii
sure that the ghosts of Marcus Aurel
ius, Q. Curtius and the cackling ot
geese would make her lorget her re
sponses. But she found herself more'
awed by the throne-like preparations
for the ceremony. ■ But when the
mayor dressed himself in his red and
white scarf, and Bhe felt that the;
were only, waiting for the brass band
lo go, out on parade, she became s
hysterical with laughter she could
scarcely keep to the matter in hand.
When the vows were exchanged, the
mayor was by no means done with
them, for he delivered to them a long
address in Italian about their various
duties to one another, and told the
wife that she must now expect her
husband to support her, but if he
should fail sick or anything happen
to him she mast go to work and sup
port him. This, she says, she would
have done anyway, but was rather
surprised to be lecture! with such s- -
verity by a stranger. After the : d«
dress, they were tailed upon to sign
paper until her arm ached. Never,
she writes, did she imagine marriage
could be such an arduous, complicated
aAair, and she feels that it would be
perfectly hopeless to ever try to get a
divorce. _
SOME QUESTIONS.
They Are Faiatefl tin*! are Intended
JFar an linr.T.
Below we print a letter from a prem
inent citizen of Dawson. It was sent
to Mr. E. L. Raney, editor of the
DawsonNews, and he refused to pub
lish, but the News and Advertiser
gives it freely:
Dawson Ga., July 11. 1892.
Mr. E. L. Rainy, Editor News,
Dawson, Ga. Dear Sir:—Believing
you tobe a genuine simon pure Demo
crat, and will be one of the last to ad
vocate any political division within
our ranks, at this critical time, think
yon would not hesitate in giving space
in your columns to a few simple ques
tions touching the congressional race
now pending in this, the 2nd congres
sional district; though I will assure
you that I am not writing in the in
terest of any particular man, and only
for the sake of peace and harmony
and the succps« of Dawson.
There seems to be two parties in the
Democratic ranks, viz: A “Stevens’
party and an “anti-Stevens” party
Now let ns lay aside all prejudice and
take a common sense view of the situa
tion. Mr. Stevens says that he is a
simon pare “Jeffersonian Democrat”
and that he will not accept of a nomi
nation for Congressional honors, only
as such, which I so much admire in
him. He also says that a large ma
jority of the counties composing the
Second district are Stevens counties.
Then, if this be true, why should or
bow can he object to all the counties
of the district holding their primaries
on the 39th inst. and electing their del
egates, and, then, if Mr- Stevens is
tho choice of the people, let us all pull
for him like a band of brethren and
put him in Congress. But if the peo
ple want some other gentleman let
“Mr. Stevens” pull with us and help
elect him. Now, sir, this is easily
done, and have no strife, by which,
if continued, it would place a Bepub
lican from the old noble Democratic
Second district in Congress.
The National Democratic Conven
tion has done its work, and we think
did it well, and has placed its platform
before the people, So, alright, sir,
bow broad and how conservative the
same is, and, then, by this, onr Con
gressional conventions can act wisely
and put out no man that is willing
to stand upon the same. Mr. Stevens
can very easily address a letter to the
chairman of the executive committee
of each county agreeing to a primary
on the 30th and then see, and the
public see, his standing before the
people. This is just, right; fair and
Democratic and we cannot see how he
could object.
This Third Party movement is all
bosh, and we think rotten, and this
object is to burst a solid south, thereby
giving the election to Harrison, which
amounts to the Force bill and this
to a sight of other trouble unnecessa
ry to name in this communication.
Now, will Mr. Stevens answer the
communication through your columns
aud oblige one who is anxious for
equal justice to be meted out to a
concerned ?
Respectfully and truly yours,
Incognito.

A Horrible Tiling-.
' It is a horrible thing that in one of
the greatest industrial communities of
the United States a question of wages
must be debated with Winchester
rifle and cannon. It is the communi
ty which is the center of the protected
industries. It is pointed to as the
community in which may he seen in
the fullest development the blessing of
the system of protection—a commun
ity in which workmen are well boused,
well fed, well dressed and happy. Yet
it is these workmen who are now fight-
ing dseparately, killing and being
killed in an iffirt to prevent them
selves from being red ced to a state
which they compare, with that of the
“pauper” laborers of Europe. Is it
pcssib’e that the glowing word pict
ures which iiave so, often been printed
of the happy surroundings of the Penn
sylvania workingmen were drawn
from imagination? The dcubt is
raised by the recollection that it was
in this same community in 1877 that
he bloodiest and most destructive
riot ever known in this country oc
curred. That riot also had its origin
in a quarrell between workmen aud
employers.
locking Backward.
The truth is, that the Bepublican
party of late year3 has developed a
surprising tendency to magnify dead
issues. Jtff Davis is dead, Bob
Toombs is dead, so-is slavery, so is the
Confederacy, and so is the greenback
idea, and yet the Bepublican leaders
reckon for no small amount of their
support upon these same dead issues—
lead so long that thev have lost all
interest and influence among thinking
people. If there was ever a party
with its face turned persistently and
irrevocably backward it is the Bepub
lican paity of today.—Manchester (N.
