EDITORIAL BREVITIES,
Judge David Davis is reported
to be in a dying condition.
George Davis was hanged at
Seale, Ala,, last Friday for the
murder of .Arch Kearns. It was a
must brutal murder and the only
excuse the murderer offered for
bis crime was that Kearns objected
to his visiting his sister.
The Fitz John Poter case was
again before ihe Senate last Fri*
day. Geo, Logan and bis gang
were afforded an opportunity to
let off a good deal vituperation and
abuse, and after the menagerie
closed the Senate, by a vote of 30
to 17, passed the bill. It will be
remembered that this bill passed
congress before but Arthur ve
toed it.' The old man will at last
get jaatice at the hands of the
government
The President continues to sling
his sledge hammer into congress*
ional bills. He has discovered a
big job in the pension business,
A practice has grown np of grant
ing special pensions upon trivial
grounds, and in order to protect
the treasury from these frauds be
sets down on them with his veto.
On last Friday he vetoed thirty at
one clip. The jobbers in Congress
are making ranch fuss over this
whole sale slaughter of their pets
and the republicans will aeek to
make political capital out of it, but
whan it is known that he approves
proper bills, gran ling aid to worthy
men and vetoers such as are not
proper the political capital will
blow off at both ends.
Now that the Atlanta saloons
will have to close next week, all
sorts of expedients have been dis
cussed in order to avoid the law
and still furnish the thirsty citizen
with his morning tod.
The bteweiy has already deter
mined not to close its doors but
will continue to boil bops and sail
the foaming beer and take its
chances before tte courts. Emi
nent counsel have been employed
and have had the question under
advisement for some time, and
•very effort to enforce the la w will
be fought.
The retail men will open wine
rooms, where domestic wine, so
called, will be sold, and the wine
bibers will be on hand early and
latw.
THE CLOSING CONTEST.
Before another issue of the Hek
▲Li>, the contest in the Democrats
ic party, for the nomination, will
be ended. For while (hair are a
cumoer of counties to act after
next Tuesday, the result that day
will settle the question as to who
will be the Democratic nominee.
We are glad this unnatural con*
flict is about over. It has stirred
up aninlosities that will take years
to heal; it has developed a divi
sion in the Democratic ranis, that
will only require a spark in the fu
ture to re-awaken; it has brought
to light methods in political ma
neuvering unknown in democratic
usage, and which must meet the
unqualified condemnation of the
great mass of the people, when
the heat of (he campaign has cool
ed down
As we said at the opening of the
campaign, we hold the party above
men, sordon, Bacon,|or any other
man, who may be aspiring for of-,
lice, are bat the incidents of the
day, while upon the success of the
great principles of the party, we
must rely for good government, in
both Stale and Federal administra
lions.
Therefore, whether oordon or
Bacon is nominated, we expect to
support the ticket all comers- We
hsve our choice as between men,
and we have not hesitated to ex-,
press our prsferance and give the
reasons for that preference. This
is the prerogative of every Demos
•raf, but when its CGußti‘utod aus
thority, a State Convention, meets
and deteimines upon a line of pol
icy, and presents its candidate as
tbs exponent of that poliey, we
sxpect to support the orgauization
whether the candidate is our first
choice or not.
THE,POLITICAL OUTLOOK
Up to last Monday sixtynine
counties had acted in the euber*
nations! campaign. Of these oor
don had received 42 counties, Ba
con, 25 counties, and Burke and
Charltou are for neither

yet to act.
The vote as reported by the
Constitution, is:

as Gordon's vote is concerned, tor
it includes Charlton, that stands

formed, has not acted.
[For the Herald.]
GORDON AND THE CONVICT
LEASE.
When it was charged that Gor*
don was one of the lessees of the
convits, he and bis friends only re
plied by cheating, “slarde.” In
his speech at Hawkinsvill, when
his attention was called to this
charge, his answer was, “God will
take care of me.” What is slan
der T Why telling that of another
which is false and defamatory. It
is not slandr nor libelous to speak
or publish the truth.
Gordon is one of the original
lessees of the penitentiary convits
—his bond as such is on tile In the
(Secretary of States’ office, at At
lanta, and he is still liable on it, as
a principal —not as security.
Recently he had published an
interview in the “Working World”
an Atlanta newspaper, iu which he
used the following language;
“I am not interested in any con
vict lease, directly or indirectly. I
was interested for a short time,
but 1 got clear of that as soon as
I could."
Some of my friends desired me
to aid them in securing convict*,
and after a great deal persuasion,
[ consented to go on tlieir bond,
which you can see by referriug lo
the records, which 1 would like
for you *.o publish. You will find
1 am not mentioned in the partner
ship.”
Examine the acts of 1876, page
40, and you will had the act pro
viding for the lease of the con
victs. Look at the bottom of the
act, on page 45, and u will be seen
that it was approved and became
a law, February 25, 1876. Gor
don signed file contract in 1876,
as lessee of Penitentiary Co., No.
2., with B. G. Lockett, L. A. Jor
don and W. B. Lowe, as bis part*
ners. On August 13, 1879, three
years afterwards, Gordon wtrt
into the following contract with
Capt. Ed. Cox.
CONTRACT
BETWEEN JOHN B GORDON AND ED.
WARD COX.
State of Georgia, County of
Fulton—Whereas, John li. Gor
don, of the county of DeKalb,
State aforcsoid, is one of the les
sees of State Penitentiary No. 2,
and whereas the said John B
Gordon is the owner of a plants*
tion on Flint river, in Taylor
county, State aforesaid, which
plantation constitutes a brarch of
Penitentiary No. 2, and whereas,
the said John B. Gordon believes
that Edward Cox, of the county
of Taylor, is a careful manager
and would humanely treat the
convicts entrusted to his oare,
therefore know all men by these
presents thaf the said John B.
Gordon and Edward Cox have
this ihirteenh (13th) day of Au
gust, 1878, made and entered into
the following agreement; The
said John B. </ordon constitutes
and appoints the said Edward
Cox, his agent to manage aqd
work his plantation in the said
county of Taylor, and sixty con-*
victs to be placed thereon, which
number shall be maintained du
ring the continuance of this agen
cy, if possible, from the number
of hands under Gordon's control
after April I, 1879.
In consideration whereof the
said A’dward Cox, agrees to fur
nish all the means ueceueay for the
the working of said plantation and
for keeping ttie said convicts in a
proper manner, to keep the plan
tation in good repair, to treat the
convets humanely and kiDdly and
to accept for his services all that
remains of all the crops of what
ever nature soever raised on the
eaid plantation, after paying to
the said Gordon yearly the amount
due by him to the State of Geor
gia, for the aaid sixty convicts,
and after turning fifty bales of
cotton over to said Gordon, which
cotton is to be an average crop lot,
and 25 bales are tc Lie turned over
on the 15th day of November, and
twenty-five on the 15th day of
December, of each year, during
the continuance of this agency.
It is expressly understood that
the said Gordon is to be held in
no way liable for the money used
in making said crops. The said
Cox further agree# to indemnify
the Gordon for any loss he may
sustain by reason of the negligence
L* said Cox in allowing convicts to
escape.
It is further agreed that this
agency shall begin to rua from
the Ist day of January, 1879, and
shall centin ue eight years there
from, provided the said Cox com
plies in every way with his agree
ineut and further complies iu eve

lature, 1876, leasing the con
victs.

A REPLY TO “DEMOCRAT.”
Buford, Ga., June 25, 1886.
Editor Herald— I noticed in
the last issue of your valuable pa
per, what purports to be a reply
to “Ex-Confederate.”
It is the longest communication
I have ever seen in print, not to
contain one line of fact or argu
ment.
Democrat, as he styles h iinself,
was evidently mad when he be
gan his article, and like Collins’
buck, the further fie got the mad
der lie got,, until he decended into
the lowest personalities, and seeks
to belittle the writer by referring
to him as a probable candidate for
baliff of Sugar Hill district, etc.
I would prefer to keep on a high
er plane in this discussion, than to
decend to the level of this so-call
ed democrat’s method, but 1 will
meet him in his own style.
This so-called democrat writes
without any regard to farts. He
and his followers, as well as Gor
don. have strove to make it appear
that Bacon dare not go before the
people in primary election, and
that the lawyers anil court-house
rings were his only supporters.
This deluded scribble grows
wild and says, “Gordon lias car
ried every county in flic State,
that has had a primury election.
Now, Mr. Editor, what are the
facts. According to the record,
out of nearly 30 counties, Gordon
lias carried five counties only, by
primary election. Neatly all the
counties he has carried, lias been
fixed up for him by mass meet
ings.
This so-called democrat tramples
<m the truth, when ho says, speak
ing of the soldiers, “for all such as
these ex-Confedera'e, expresses
great contempt.
There is no man living, who lias
a heart, that honors and loves con
federates more than the writer.
In 1861 when the war came, it
found the writer, a poor farm boy,
clad iu copperas breeches, cutting
ditches, splitting rails, or any oth
er honorable avocation for an
honest living.
1 was among the first volunteers
who left Gwinnett. I was honor
ed by my command with an office,
and for the benefit of my so-called
democrat, will say that I fought
to the end. Ido not wish to ap
pear egotistic, or to shock the
nerves of “democrat,” but will say
that I have often been honored
with important offices since the
war, and that too, as the nominee
of the simon pure democracy, and
I never run on my war record eith
er.
Now, Mr. Joe-Brown-Gordon*
democrat, where was yourprecious
carcas, duriiig that four years of
strife ? Was you not in a bomb
proof position ? I will wager the
best hat in my town that you nev
er heard a minie ball whistle, and
that your tine sense of smell was
never offended by burning pow
der.
Mr. Joe Brown-Gordon so-call
ed democrat, I "you'd advise you
if you have a cyclone pit about
your p'ace to put it in good order,
for on or about the tiist Tuesday
in July, there is Cuming a terrible
cye/one, it will be composed of the
great masses of the honest people.
Get into your hole and pull the
hole in after you, for Gwinnett is
going to bury your Joe-Brown-
Vtordon ring, so deep that even
old Joe himself will never him out.
I desire to say, that 1 reiterate ev
every word tuat I wrote in my
former article, and challenge Dcm
ocra', or sny of his leaders to re
futeit. I repeat that Gordon and
his supporters, or some of them,
have openly charged that the law
yers of this and other counties,
have bargained with Maj. Bacon
(o deliver the votes of this county
as so much merchandise, and have
used every method to create an
animosity between the masses of
the people and the lawyers. This
so-called Democrat, in concluding
his long article, makes the same
charge, and says they cannot de
liver the goods. 1 <to not know
who Democrat is. lam sorry he
could find no logic or argument to
use in reply to my article, but
sought to belittle what he could
not answer. I have no ill will to
wards those who differ with me.
In conclusion, will say, that if eve
ry honest voter in Georgia could
properly understand the true in
wardness of this Brow*n and Gor
don movement, they would rise in
their might, rnd with iheir ballots
sink this wrong that is sought to
be placed upon them, so deep that
it w’ould never be resurrected.
This deluded follower of the
“conquer of the world” makes
what he conceives to be a digin
the ribs at ‘ O d Soldier,” and “Ex
Confederate,” when he says we
write under a “non de plume,” aud
then goes straight way, and not
only bids under the same shelter,
but don’t even tell the voters of
the county, where bis habitation
is. Consistency thou art a jew*el
but bast hid thy face in this cam
paign.
Sugar Hill is in full accord with
“Ex-Confederate," as will be prov
en on the first Tuesday in July,
for this district is as certain to give
Maj. Bacon two votes to Gordon’s
one, as t! e day comes.
lam now done with this Joe
Brown democrat. He can now be
turned over to the Joe Brown
“malish” where he properly be
longs, for the noble old veterans
of Gwinnett will reject him and
his man. Give the privates a
chance. Ex-Confederate.
A VOTER SPEAKS.
Buford, Ga„ June 26, 1886.
Editor Herald Several com
munications from this place have
appeared in your paper, in the in
terest of Maj. Bacon. Please al
low me space to say a few words
in the interest of Gen. Gordon, In
the first place I will say that Ex-
Confederate is mistaken when he
says the friends of Gordon would
make the impression that Hntch
ius, Simmons, Peeples and Julian
and all of the other lawyers who
are supporting Baeon, are not
clever, honorable gentlemen, they
have the right to be for Bacon.
The mosl of them have served in
the Legislature with him, he is
a nece clever man, and for old as
sociations sake they would nature
ally feel like supporting him, and
will carry the county for him if
can, there is nothing wrong about
that, the most of the people of
the couuty are not under the
same obligations to the Major and
are in position to take an impartial
view of both candidates. They
think he is too greedy for office,
th“y think he ought have waited
till the people called for him for he
has certainly put the state on no
tice years ago that he was ready
any time, but instead of that he
starts his still hunt ovor the state
long befoie the time comes for a
candidate to be announced, and
gets his old friends and ex-mem
bers of the legislature pledged to
support him, bo when the people
get ready to call out our best ma
terial the thing is fixed with the*e
littie rings in every county. I
am inclined to think that the most
of the peop'e es old Gwinuett are
of the opinion that this little tnirs
ty politician ought to be laid on
the shelf, so we can reach for him
‘if’ we should need him in the
future. I said the thing was fixed,
the reason I said that, Ex-Confed
erate said it was, when Gen. oor
don was first announced uia can
aidate some cne said he might car
ry this county, Ex-Confedei ate
said no sir, that thing is fixed for
Bac.oD. That is the cause of so
much excitement. The people are
rising up for Gordon and these lit
tle rings see that the fixings they
put on are about to come off, and
they are growing desperate over
it. Ex-gov. Smith struck the key
uote to this campaign when he
said that Maj Bacon was thorough
ly identified with rail road interea /
as one of their leading counselors
in the state, and obliged by bis
habits of thought and by bis honor
as a professional gentleman to car
ry out his views with regard to
their interest, he has been accus
tomed to defeudiug railroad
corporations and looking on them
as the source of his income and
the people as their euemies.
A man thus surrounded may be
an honorable man, but he is unfit
to appoint a commission to act be
tween the railroads and people.
The force of habit is hard to break.
I remember hearing of a conduc
tor being discharge 1 from the
road, soor. after he put up a store,
the first day he sold ssvaral arti
cles. he would put half iu his pock
et and half in tue dtawer. If oec.
uordou had notli'ug more to rec
commend him than the slander
and abuse which has been heaped
upon him, if would be sufficient
grounds to make the people rally
to him.
The idea of such a character be
ing subjected to such treatment,
the greatest living hero of the age,
the grand statesman and patriot
before the people of his »mt ; ve
state, asking their sufferage, receiv
ing such abuse all jcm account of
an industrious politician and hun
gry office steker in advance of the
people- While oen. Gordon’s war
record is something that the peo
pie should be proud of, it is wo
that alone that reccommends him
to the people ofoa. When Tilden
was elected and counted out then
it was that oor.'on proved himself a
sttoOsman and patriot, grea'
trouble threatened tte country at
that time, some theugut we ought
to have showed fight, but the hero
in war thought it was a belter
place for the display of wislow
and moderation, he was foremost
in bringing about a peaceful set
tlement which restored all of the
states that werenot fully reinstated
to their rights in the union.
Wade 7/ampton was enstalled
Governor of South Carolina, and
the troope withdrawn from the
state. To make the beat of the
situa/ion po-sible was the duty of
the hour wbicu Gordon wisely per
formed, oan. Gordon was elected
Governor over Bollock and counted
oat. We have it in onr power to
elect him and count him in this
time and we will do it.
Voter,
DEMOCRAT HEARD FROM.
E»itor of the Herald :—l feel
that the Herald has done me in
justice in the comments it made
on my communication iu lest weeks
issue, under the head of ~ I A Core
rection’’ and 1 hope your sense of
justice and fuirness will accord me
tha privilege of defending the po
sition thereto token, and thus ven
dicate myself for fairness in the
discussion of political questions,
as well as my intelligence, and to
show that I am not given t 0
“sweeping a-sertions.”
Yon quote from mycommuni.
cation the following ; “There lias
not been a primary election held
in a«y county “so far" that ba
uot sent delegat es instructed for
him (Gordon) by overwhelming
majorities.’’ The A’ditor then
comments as follows ; “We cans
not permit such a statement as
ibis to go unanswered. A writer
should De certain of his facts be
fore making such a sweeping as
sertion. ‘We’ presume ‘he’ only
reads one side and does not “know
any belter ’ *A man who only
reads one side is frequently mis
taken.’” The Editor then goes
on to recite the fact that Hancock
heid a primary election and Bacon
carried the couuty by a good ma
jority. Then follows “Macon
county also had a ‘primary accords
ing’ to the ‘Constitution’s report?
last Wednesday,’ and Bacon’s ma
jority was between one and two
hundred.”
Now, Mr. Editor, it is a fact that
my communication was handed in
to tne HeralTi office on Friday th
day //uncock acted, and no mortal
was expected to know, in advance,
the result.
As to Macon county. The Con
sfitution of Wednesday, /he 16fh
the issue referred to by you,[is be
foie me. Under the head—“Gor
don increasing his lead," I extrac
the following: ‘,lt is uotable that
Gordon carried, l’utnam practical*
ly without opposition. ‘While in
Macon’ there was a heated contest
and Bacon only got it by a majori
ty of twelye per cent of the vo/e
cast."
Now, I will leave it to yonr own
can don to say whetner or not Ma*
con had a primaty or a convention
The Constitution does not say
and this is all I can find about it
in the issue referred to, and I am
free to acknowledge I don’t ‘know
any better.’ I give the Herald
credit for fairness and candor usu
ally in this canvass, but as the Ed
tor was absent las/ week when my
article went in, I can ofily account
for this perversion of /he facts in
this case t« the “office cat.”
