— ] personal desire for political pre

Just here we will state chat this

nism to Col. Northen. for beds de
cidedly oiir preference for govern^,
or, as against either DuBighon or
Livingston.
But we deprecate this : previons-
ness. It is altogether unnecessa
ry, and canlresult in no possible
good to the state or the people
generally. It certainly tends to an
agitation of the public mind at a
time when business should claim
the entire attention of every voter.
Thenjfsuch early] announcements
te'hd to center the Attention of the
people upon -a very few. men, and
negroes from \ to narrow, the circle from which
the candidate is to- be chosen by
the party that has the power of
electing. We have more than
once seen that such early an
nouncements, though none so ear
ly as this, have brought about per
sonal: campaigns that precluded
the ^possibility of selecting a party
candidate other than one of those
who actively and i persistently
sought the office. These . cam
paigns were pernicious, and the ill
effects of the most roeent one of
that kind have not yet completely
passed away. We insist that in
Georgia the people shop Id be left
entirely free to choose whom they
will for their governor. By the
people we here mean the . demo
cratic party, and we insist that this
privilege should not be circumr
scribed by the excessive eagerness
of ambitious men to become the
first candidates to enter the field.
Gentlemen, wait awhile, and if
your services;, are desired, the dem
ocratic party will call you.

tare for the adjourned session,
v That, resolution rested entirely
upon a selfish desire for gain, and
the payment of the money so call
ed for cannot be made except by a
direct violation of the spirit of the
state constitution.
The constitution provides for bi
ennial sessions of the legislature,
per diem payment to be fixed by
the legislature, and mileage to and
from the state capital. As one
session only is provided for, cer
tainly mileage one time.- each way
only can be legally paid. There
is no-provision for shore than one
session in two years, and legisla
tors 'are very particular that the
extra, or second session, shall be
called “the adjourned session.
.They inlist that it is a continue,
tion of the session, and not a sec
ond session. This feeing their
own.construction, it is clearly true
that if they attend ohly one ses
sion, they are entitled to mileage
only once each way.
This resolution is nothing short
of an outrage, and if it should be
sanctioned by the senate, we insist
that if is clearly the duty of Gov
ernor Gordon to veto it when
goes to him for his signature.
It is demagogueism, pure and
simple, to quibble over appropria
tions for public expenses,-and then
in short order ask for such illegal
payment as this mileage resolution
calls for.
