IX THE BEST SECtibif Op GEOBGIA.
THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE a.
The 15th of June is the time now
spoken of for congress to adjourn.
“George Eliot,” the celebrated En-
riglish authoress, has recently married
Mr. J. W. Cross.
Geobgia democracy has about resolv
ed itself into, the issue: Colquitt, or
anti-Colqmtt.
The supporters of Gov. Colquitt seem
to tlrnk that he is the best part of the
democratic party of Georgia.
Con. E. W. Cole has again become a
railroad president, this time of the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Rftilrond.
GOV. A- H- COLQUITT
As a prominent factor in Georgia
state politics jost now, Gov. Colquitt is
the recipient of marked .attention
throughout the empire state of the
tooth. Concerning the. recent resig
nation of Gen. Gordon, and the ap
pointment of Jce Brown to fill the va-

Fashiox Qoaeieblt for the ‘present
Summer presente rs readers with a
beautiful chromo4ithogragh, illustrative^'
of the Fashions of the season. ’Unlike
most fashion plates, which are^ merely
creations of the artist’s brain, the pres-
cancy caused thereby, in the United ent is a faithful reproduction of actual,
States Senate. There are many who
cling to the belief that there was a bar
gain between Colquitt and Brown,
whereby position was swapped off for
influence. ’ ^This is denied bitterly and
The Georgia delegates went 16 Chi
cago via-Washington. Doubtless they
expected to get their “sngar” at that
station.
Bacon has been mention
ed, by the Macon lelegrapli, as a suita
ble man to be elected to the United
States senate by the next Georgia Leg
islature.
Vindicate this persecuted patriot!
Ye traitorp, dare ye vote against the
honest and noble Colquitt? This is the
burden of .the arguments in favor of the
re-election of Colquitt to the guberna
torial chair of Georgia.
The next legislature of Georgia will
prove to be a band of true patriots and
wise men, should Hon. J. H, Blount be
elect'd to the U. S. Senate to fill
the seat now occupied by Joe Brown,
The people would be well pleased.
In speaking fearlessly on all political
subjects, regardless of the past standing
of the men principally concerned, the
Atlanta Pest has proved itself an earn
est and worthy co-work( r with the
weekly press of Georgia. The same
cannot be 3aid of some other dailies in
the state.
One of the results of (he late senato
rial resignation and appointment, is
that Gordon. Brown and Colquitt will
stump the state, -ostensibly to refute
the charges of “trade” in the transac
tion, but in fact to persuade the people
that Colquitt should be re-nominated
and re-elected governor.
The river and harbor bill, concerning
appropriations for improvement, etc.,
was discussed in the senate Jast Tues
day. Mr. J. E. Brown made a motion
to increase the appropriation for the
improvement of the Savamnli harbor,
from $65,000 to $1000,000, and on this
motion he made his first speech ns a
United States Senator from Georgia.
Peofessob Vennob, of Montreal, pre
dicts “frosts in July.” Of course the
prediction refers to n higher latitude
than.is to be fonnd in Georgia, but,
from the Professor’s high reputation,
and the variableness of the. weather
during the past winter and spring, we
.are prepared to expect some curious
. freaks of the weather during the sum
mer.
The Fulton county democratic con
vention, to select delegates to the state
convention, to select delegates to the
Cincinnati convention, met in Atlanta
last Tuesday and, without action, ad
journed to next Saturday. M. E.
Thornton, who boasts that he is the
originator of tile independent party of
in Georgia, was a prominent actor in the
meeting:
The democratic executive committee
of the sixth congressional district is
called to meet in Milledgeville to-mor-
row, “for the purpose of designating a
time for holding a nominating conven
tion, and for the transaction of other
Business touching the ensueing cam
paign.” We would like to hear from
the chairman of the committee of the
5th district in a similar manner.
Tjie friends of Governor Colquitt are
raising the cry that he is being persecu
ted, and that his opponents are disap
pointed office seekers. This is just The
reverse of the facts. Colquitt is oppos
ed because his administration has prov
en his lack of gubernatorial ability, and
His most ardent supporters are those
v?ho are in office, and being alligned
xHtli his policy, recognize that his de
feat will be their own.
We are indebted to Hon. B. H. Hill
fbr's copy of his speech in the U. S.
Senate. . “Can the Senate Disfranchise
a State?” It was delivered on the 11th
of May and concerned the report of
the committee on privileges and elec-
1 Actions relative to the seat of Wm. Pitt
Kellogg as a senator from Louisiana.
? the speech is an able effort of an able
man, and while we are not an ardent
admirer of Mr- Hill, this speech draws
efur hearty approval.
vehemently by the parties themselves
and their friends
Just here we wish to make-record of
our opinions in the premises. In a
commercial sense there was no bargain.
Colquitt did not bargain for Brown’s
support and influence, for that he al
ready had. Gordon was and is one of
Colquitt’s warmest friends and support
ers. But we tlmik Gov. Colquitt did
expect to gain political strength by ap
pointing Joe Brown to the Senate.—
The people throughout the state are
opposed to Colquitt as his own succes
sor, and he knew it. He wanted to
raise an issue upon which to go before
the people. When the cry of persecu
tion can be successfully raised in be
half of a candidate, the sympathies of
the people are enlisted, and their votes
will be cast in accordance. The storm
that was raised by Colquitt’s recent sen
atorial appeiniment is just what he
wanted, and just what Joe Brown sug
gested. Gordon, Colquitt and Biown
are charged with trading on the honors
that the people give. They must per
force go before the people to refute
these charges; stumping the state, they
will nng in the cry that Colquitt is be
ing persecuted. None but the good
and patriotic can be persecuted, hence
Colquitt is a good officer and a patriotic
statesman. What better issue would
any office-seeker wish? The cards are
being beautifully stocked, and it will
require skillful playing to defeat the
Colquitt-Brown game.
In opposing Gov. Colquitt, it may
seem that our position is inconsistent
with the assertion that we will adyocate
no man for the governorsaip until the
people’designate their choice. We re
iterate that siatement and, while hold
ing to it, deem it onr duty to oppose
auy man who seeks an office for which
we think he is disqualified. ...We do not
propose to eDter into details concern
ing Colquitt’s unfitness for the office he
now holds, but make the broad asser
tion that be lacks administrative ability,
aiid challenge any of his friends to quote
an act of his administration that will
prove the contrary. His friends say he
is pesecuted, but we fail to see how, un
less it be that to condemn his political
acts is persecution. We do oot desire
to criticize liis gubernatorial career just
now, but simply to note one feature of
the outgrowth of the recent senatorial
appointment. In accordance with the
programme for stumping the state, Gov.
Colquitt made a speech in Atlanta last
Friday night—in answer to an invita
tion to do so from a number of Atlanta
citizens, i
The speech was published in the
Constitution, and we have read it care
fully, Its great length, 81 long col
umns of small type, prevents ns from
reproducing it, and for fear that we
may do Gov. Colquitt an iu justice, we
will not not criticize, but simply give
the general line of his remarks: He
assumed the defensive, affecting to
vindicate his administration. He plac
ed himself in the position of the perse
cuted patriot, and placed all of his op
ponents in the category of disappointed
seekers after office within his f.ppoint-
pointment. He spokj in general
terms of the high financial standing of
the state, placing the greater share of
honor for this fact to his own credit.
He concentrated his effort to tbedelense
of his appointment of Joe Brown as
United States Senator, declaring that
he would do the same thing again if
the same contingency was to be met
again. We think he gave good reasons
why the appointment was not a bar
gain for Brown’s influence, and we do
not believe it was. He closed bis speech
with a peroration of patriotic senti
ment, and we doubt not he means well,
but we still hold that he is incapable of
making a good governor. He spoke at
Decatur Tuesday, and will speak at Al
bany next Saturday, No further ap
pointments are published.
Joe Brown, as stated by his friends,
will stump the state when Congress ad
journs, and so Colquitt will have anoth
er defendant in the field. Late advices
from IV ashington state that Mrs. Gor
don is not in good health, and that
Gen. Gordon has said that he will make
but one speech wlie&T he returns to
Georgia. This will take one strong
prop Ivom the Colquitt canvass, and,
we think,goes far to show that there was
no “understanding” with Gordon con
cerning the resignation and appoint
ment.
If Colquitt and Brown can prove to
the people that Colquitt has been an ef
ficient governor, he will receive the
nomination, and then we will support
him, or the man who is nominated.
We hope there will be other good
speakers to,meet Colquitt andUrown on
the hustings. £
