QENBRAT. LAWTON’S LETTER.
General Lawton’s letter to the
governor is ns follows:
Savannah, Ga., March 6, 1886.—
My Dear Sir: The inquiry is often
made whether your name will come
before tiie people of Georgia at the
next election for governor, or before
the convention, which will meet
sooner, to nominate a candidate.
Perhaps this inquiry is more fre¬
quently addressed to me, because a
portion of the press of the state has
made reference to my views as to your
eligibility under the constitution to
My impression on this
the subject were alluded to by me
last July, at Athens, where we met
as trustees of tlie State University.
The conversation was interrupted,
and therefore incomplete; and I
have had no interview with you
since on the subject. 1 now dismiss
it with the remark Unit my impres
cions remain the same as were then
intimated to you—that the eonstilu
tion interposes no obstacle to your
re-election in October next, for an
other term as governor of Georgia.
You entered upon thodatios of the
highest office in the gift of the pe<>
pie of Georgia at a somewhat crili
cal moment; especially as regards
the financial affairs of the state,
And our people cannot fail to dis¬
cover that you have, by your fore¬
sight, Judgment, firmness, aud skill
iif affairs rendered most valuable and
distinguished services. 1 need only
refer to the manner in which you
have dealt with the complications
which grew out of the failure of sev
oral of the state depositories—to the
final settlement with the purchasers
of tiie Macon and Brunswick rail¬
road, to the first and most important
steps toward the erection of a new
state capital—and more than all to
such provision hiade for anticipating
4, lie maturity of many millions ol,
state bonds during the present year,
as to place the financial condition of
our commonwealth upon the most
>.»l.iv«ied vilnne of state credit. For
“well done” of the |x-op]c of Georgia.
I do not venture to estimate’the
relative weight, of the .considerations
which may press for retirement from,
or further service in, the high office,
but content myself with the simple
inquiry as to your intentions and
wishes jn the premises, should you
feel at liberty to make them known.
To prevent any possible misappre¬
hension oti U 10 part of others, in con
iicction with this inquiry, 1 take
leave to add that 1 have no person
al interest whatever in the next nom¬
ination or election for Governor of
Georgia. With high personal re¬
gard, I am yours very truly,
A. It. Lawton.
Hon. IIknuy D. McDaniel, Atlan¬
ta, Ga.
GOVERNOR m’I>AN 1 El’s REPLY.
Governor McDaniel replied to the
letter of General Lawton as tallows:
Atlanta, Ga., March 13, 1886.—
Hon A. 11. Lawton, Savannah, Ga.:
My Dear Sir—Your letter in refer
cnee to my attitude in the approach¬
ing election for Governor lias been
received. The same inquiry has been
frequently addressed to me .within
the past few months, by other
friends in whose character and judg¬
ment the people have manifested
confidence. Respect for them and
for my obligations to tho public for¬
bade a hasty or premature consider¬
ation of the subject.
Tim approach of the time for the
executive committee of the Demo
cratic party to prepare for the nom¬
ination of candidates for the vnri
ous State 0, offices, m 11 s ... well as the .. in .
creasing urgency of friendly inqni
vies, have induced me to carefully
console, the question and decide it

amltr H. Stephens, I entered upon
his unfinished duties with

ors to promote tiie public, welfare
by a faithful administration of tho
State government were rewarded by
unanimous re-election, without a
competitor for ihe nomination of
the party or for the suffrages of the
people at the polls. There has been
no abatement of my zeal in the per
fqrmanee siderable of portion my duty, of the and people no dur- con
ing the present term have manifes
tpd disapproval None of my administra
tion. of my official acts, no
policy recommended by me and adop
ted- by the Legislature, no measure
originated by the Legislature aud
sectioned by me, have met general
criticism as unwise and hurtful to
the commonwealth.
The unwritten law of American
politics that an executive should
serve but two successive terms has
been embodied in our state constitu
tion. It is true tlmt part of a term
and a full term following do not eon
stitute two .successive terms. There
is lillle reason to doubt that the
people have tiie legal right to keep a
Governor longer in office where lie
was entrusted with duties affected
by ihe policy and interrupted by the
death of lii» predecessor. But lie
should not ask rc election, unless
there were pending some great po¬
litical question which divide the
people, and in which lie was the rep¬
resentative of his party, or unless
there has been such arraignment of
his administration that an appeal to
the people was necessary, There
being no necessity for further in¬
dorsement of my administration, and
no public question to render my ean
didacy a matter of duty to the detn
ocrntic party, I am unwilling, mere¬
ly for the purpose of remaining in
office another term, to become acan
didate for re-election.
] shall be content, and feel my¬
self deeply ir indebted to the people of
Georgia, having met their just ex
pectations in the past I shnll com
plcle to their satisfaction the duties
which 1 have been called to dis¬
charge. In that event, I will with¬
out regret retire from office and re
some the duties of a private citizen,
which in a free country are not less
usefnl and honorable, if Jess eonspie*
„ 0 us. than those of the highest pub
.jj c official.
Permit me to thank you for the
complimentary allusions to iny ser
vices. It lias been my endeavor to
merit the approbation of thoughtful
an( j conservative citizens, and there
j s no better reprosenntive of that
c j ass than yohrself. My knowledge
0 f y ou induces the belief that not
withstanding the friendship long
existing between us, you would not
express such sentiments, if you
were not satisfied of their correct-!
ncsss. Sincerely yours,
Henry I). McDaniel.
