the republican state convention -which the campaign that now conspires against
assembled in Atlanta last week.
The party leaders, both white and
colored, hacked by two-thirds'of the
delegates present, and more, acknowl
edged their weakness by refusing to
rominate candidates for governor and
slate house officers. This weakness is
farther acknowledged by their refusal to
nominate candidates for congress iu the
different districts. It is true they have
nominated in the 1st and 5th districts,
bat the candidate in the fifth refused to
accept, knowing full well that the
strength of his party was not great
enough to elect him.
The republicans of tl e north may as
well accept this os the troth concerning
the strength of the republican party in
the south, for Georgia is but an exam-
^«ti
southern democratic states.
Knowing^that their party is too weak
ro-do battle alone for political suprema
cy, the leaders are in every section of
the state advocating the election of the
independent candidates, thus demon-
stiating that their best-line of policy is
to support that candidate through whom
it is most likely that injury to the dem
ocratic party may be worked.
We see that in every congressional
district- wjiere there is an independent
candidate! the republicans first hold a
conference with him, and tbeu the re
publican party is requested, or ordered,
to cast its lull vote for him. If this
demonstrates anything, it in that ah in
dependent candidate for any office with
in the gift of the people is an enemy to
the democratic • party, their' protesta
tions' to the contrary notwithstanding.
An Independent, endorsed by the repub
lican: parly 1 , who runs for office against
a democratic nominee, plants himself
squarely cheek by jowl with his republi
can allies. and th ns places himself under
obligations to them which lie cannot,
ignore.
. - Now; we^utterlv fail to see the consist
ency of nu act that forces a man to seek
the services of an enemy to defeat the
purposes of a friend. Common sense
fells us to ask friends for help when
we need it. If Mr. Dismuke, the inde
pendent candidate for congress from
Ithe fifth district, is truly' a democrat,
we fail to appreciate liowhe can honest
ly seek help from the republican uarty,
whose platform he repudiates, to defeat
th<^nominee of the democratic party,
the platform of which he endorses and
with which he claims to be in perfect-
accord both in principle and by faith.
If he works to defeat the will of the
democratic party with the help of the
republican party, be comes nearer being
a republic^-t-ool than an independent
democrat.
The fact is, the* republicans are now
tring to gain strength to their failing
party by fuseing with those men whose
personal ambition is i tronger than
their fealty to party principle
Democrats, will you illustrate vj^Tr
fuith by votingfor the democrati<rnom-
nees, or will you herd with the republi
can party? Let yonr ballots record the
answer in October, November and Jan
qary next.
THE FIFTH DISTRICT,
The republican state convention
which assembled iu Atlanta last week
made no nomination for governor or
state officers, and refused to recommend
that the party support one of the demo
cratic candidates for governor.
Because of this'failure, to nominate a
governor, he says, Freeman refused to
to accept the republican nomination
for congress from the 5th district. A.
committee was appointed to consider
this matter, and, in the Constitution of
the 11th inst., we find the following
resolutions.-

has served the people of'the stale in of-
ficiaLcap'aoity during more than thirty-
five years. In 1§28 he was the young-
est.member in the- Georgia legislature.
In 1S33 lie was the youngest Superior

W. H. Harrison, Fhlton courty.

W. F. George, Spalding, county.
C. E." Coleman, Houston county.
We held a conversation with Coleman
last Saturday, and- he told us that his
■first knowledge of the above .resolutions
was obtaiued from.reading them in the
Constitu ion. _ His name was placed
there without his knowledge, and”the
action is contrary to his judgment.'
But,, notwithstanding the fact that
the recommendation, does not meet the
approval of all, the republican party
of the fifth district will regard it, and
give almost its fall strength to Dis
muke. Thedemocrats . have now only
to consider.- Will any of them support a*
man whom the republican party is wil
ling to adopt? Hammond is a man of
marked^ ability, and his experience
in congress only c^-ss. blro>a
tlie peace of mind of the average voter.
It does verily seem that the “God of
the storms,” so eloquently appealed to
by the burning deck orator in the late
convention, is upon the side of the ma
jority candidate in this race, if the paany
blunders of the manipulators of the mi
nority cause be anything to judge by.
In the publication of the incendiary
pamphlet, called the “convict cate
chism,” a document that was intended
to appeal to the baser passions and
prejudices of the colored race, they lit
tle dreamed that they were verifying
the homely adage of .“chickens coming
home to roost,” By that measure many
a decent white man has been driven
from the support of their cause, and,
in far as the race intended to be effected
is concerned, their common sense has
shown itself above being gulled by such
gammon.
Again, their desperate effort to secuiR
the indorsement of the State Republi
can Convention lately in session in At
lanta, was a most damaging political
misadventure, that will result in the loss
of full many a vote. There are many of
us who will doubt that any good cau
accrue to the democratic party by sup
porting a cause that resorts to such
measures—a cause that is indorsed by
the chairman of the National Republi
can Committee, Mr. Marshall Jewell,
who urges the republican pariy of
Georgia to support Mr, Norwood, say
ing the republican. party of the. north
would be benefitled thereby. When
such is the ad vice of as keen an old po
litical manipulator : as Mr. Jewell; who,
for his political shrewdness, lias been
selected to conduct the National Repub
lican campaign, is it not a good time
for Georgia democrats, whose all is in
volved in the success of the party this
man is fightit g, to pause and reflect?
“And to this complexion have we come
at last.” i
Iu this connection might- be mention
ed another—a sort of 'local blunder.
It was the disgraceful but well organ
ized effort to prevent a~ hearing for
Gov. Colquitt upon the occasion of his
joint discussion with Mr. Norwood iu
Macon. A gentlemen from this county,
who was theretofore a supporter of Mr.
Norwood, was nu eye-witness and says
the scene beggars all description.
There,.the governor of tb'q state, whose
exalted position, if uolhing else, should
have i^otected him, was for two hours
insulted by a mob, uetenmned that his
cause should not be beard. It is trait;
less now to discuss who was resbohsiHe
for that treatment. It is sufficient to
say that Mr. Norwood never once raised
his voice and requested a hearing for
his honorable competitor. An < ff ,rt
from him would have succeed-.d,-but,
whether it succeeded or not, the ■ fiovt,
should, have been made, and to the
mind of evero man wilh one spark of
manly magnauimity in his breast, who
is not blinded by partisan malice or
zeaj, it must appear that the silence of
Hr. Norwood upon the occasion iu ques
tion was more reprehensible, if possi
ble, than the tumult of the mob.
These aad other instances that might
be enumerated have served to make pat
ent to many of his most ardent support-
porlers a fact tlmt- existed raid was rec
ognized by thebest political j-mges long
since, that • the minority candidate
stands not the ghost of a chance. By
“best political judges” and “most ar
dent supporters,” I don’t mean to in
elude the bummers, floaters and politi
cal adventurers, that. I say with all tine
respect for many gentlemen that ara iu
it, go to make up a big portion of the
minority party. It is an easy matter to
get on the train and ride over the state
and come back with the idea that Mr.
Norwood’s chances are hopeful, because
the class of voters jiist mentioned are to
be found on the ear« and along the
the railroad lines; they are a class that
“shoot off their mouth”semi-occasional-‘
ly ; they are a class that is always to be
found on the aggressive side of politics;
the minority is the aggressive side, con -
sequently &c. In the proper place I
might have added that the class referr
ed to, beep up an awful amount of fuss,
canonadmg, etc. In fact they are what
migh be called “big talkers and little
doers.” They have never ejected any
body yet, and on the 6th of October I
opine that somebody else will have a
yoice in the proceedings.

COimniSICATED.
This communication does
to reflect therviews of tb
it appears. It relates to
common interest, and
If trn
be harmless.
Anything whatsoever that the bjith 8tli^J.880.
will harm deserves to be dtesttoyed.—
The writer wiH thank the man who
wfil detest and expse any fallacy tfiat
may lurk in his words. Will any one
stand up and declare that the truth is
hurtful to him, or his plans, or his
hopes? The party, organs seemat.this
time to be sorely afraid of the truth .but
not at all afraid of the must extrava
gant- untruth.’ This cowardice on the
one hand, and this temerity on the oth
er, will surely bring the press into dis
repute. Papers of sound character wHl
suffer sowewhat with the rest. They will
deserve a measure of popular distrust
unless ther make haste to cry out against
the abuse. Public men too, of whom it
ia reasonable to expect public opinions
on public questions, seem to have very
private.opinions, and only a few vague
ones of any, kind. The man whose opin
ions and principles "shrink from the
light ought to go into very shady re
tirement and stay there. It is deemed
inexpedient just -now to' canvass the is
sues of the pending campaign in some
localities. Things are mixed, and can
didates shy from a bolt of sound truth,
jnst as ladies shy from cock-roaches.—
The mention of a trade,or a conspiracy,
or“a capital understanding”is shocking.
Nevertheless, it is now in order to risk
a mild shock. •
Colquitt claims to be a good demo-:
crat.and declares with emphasis that Joe
Brown is a democrat. The two, there
fore, are politically alike. Gordon de
clares with emphasis that Joe Blown
■was right when he supported Bullock,
and that the democratic party hits gone
to the position then held by him. If
Colquitt and Gordon ^.re in agreement,
the conclusion is unavoidable that Bul
lock and Brt wn of that time were a'nte-
types Of the democracy of the present,
as they understand it. Colquitt tlieu,
by his own confession, is just such a
democrat as Rufus B. Bullock.
Furthermore, if Joe Brown is a dem
ocrat, then gf courre Joe Brownism ia
democracy. And what is Joe Brownism?
It is-“treasons, stratagems and spoils.”
When Georgia was prostrate, and the
hordes of insensate plunderers from all
lands descended upon her, Joe Brown
became a deserter. More than that, he.
deserted to the enemy. If he had been
as great as his disciples of to day repre
sent him to be, be would utterly have
destroyed the state that bore him, and
the people who trusted him and were
hast ly betrayed. To appoint such a
man to any important office, when there
were others who were faithful and stead
fast through fill, the long days of un
speakable headships,is simply infamous.
No argument can shake that proposi
tion. Did Colquitt know the character
of the man when he made the appoint
ment? * To Supposo that he did not is
to discredit lii’S intelligence. Moreover,
a later appointment, as like to other rfs
possible, indicatas unmistakably “the
method of his'jhiklcAss.” 1
Colquitt, together with va.-t multi
tudes of misguided:men, seems to be
lieve in “doing evil that good may
come.” This is.heresy. They never
will be able to accomplish any lasting
good in any such way. They are ex
ceedingly.foolish to try it, unless they
first abolish Providence. To ignore
providence will not answer at. all. That
lias been tritd nnl-il only fools repeat the
experiment. .
The policy of “setting a tfieif to
catch a theif” would be much more sat
isfactory if it could be settled before
hand that the other thief was not to
catch ours.
Now in conclusion, the writer will ne
••ve-ry grateful tooifiy political sage who
will..explain intelligibly, how it is that
nun can believe in a corruptionist and
not believe iu corruption.
