Mit. Editor :— A primary election
■was held in our county on the 22 of Oc¬
tober last, for county officers: whether
the game was legally called, it matters
not, the election was had, and the “ cit¬
izens ’’ thereof made choice of their
candidates, the mode and no dissatisfaction as to
and results thereof, save a« to
the ordinarie’H office. .Judge Seamans
was nominated and Col. Bart n was de¬
feated for ordinary, and was dissatisfied,
and on the 24 of aaid month asked the
managers of the < onyere diet ict not to
connt, but to throw out the votes of A
S. Woolley, S. B. Harris,, B, It What¬
ley, Hardin, B. 0. Grenade, J. It Hardin, W. F.
W. F. Fee, S. R. Thompson J.
A. Hamilton, W. K. MeDmiidl, J. If.
Irwin and others, which sa'd managers
refused to do.
Said Barton then applied to John W.
Almand and others, os the Democratic
Executive Committee of said countv,
and object'd their declaring the result
of said election, because of the vote of
the abeve named eleven Demons, and
asked that the said named voters be ex¬
punged from the c moderation and not
because the said voters w ere
had not qualified to vote, and because thev
been challenged, several of said
committeemen met on the first day X ov.
inst., other and postponed an action, because
committeemen were absent, until
the twelfth inst. Said Seamans nor his
counsel had even, in any way, been ser¬
ved by Col. Barton with any notice of
hi'action and wishes in the premises
Henmans having learned learned of
some of said proceedings, employed J.
N. Glenn and A. C. Mor al la to look af
ter his rights and interests In the matte:
and see that hi- claims to aaid nomina
tion should not be disturb d or disre¬
garded. G. W. Gleaton and J. R. Mad¬
dox representing said Barton.
When said committeemen met on the
twelfth, said Glenn asked that the hear
ing go called over till another day, as McCalla
was off to argue a motion pend¬
ing from |be (Glenn) this county before Judge Clark
and wished said McCalla’s
help, of a"d further, because C. W. Blake,
one the committee was not present,
when one of the < ommiteemcn asked that
all persons, except the committee, leave
the room, that they might determin
whether the matter should go over to
another day or proceed then. Said
committee then, instead of acting on the
proposition of said Glenn, that the hear¬
ing the go over to another day, proceeded
in room alone to consider and work
on the complaint of said Barton and
adopted der the following resolution or or¬
: “Executive Committee met per
suuut M. Kiohardson, to adjournment, It on motion of the W.
is ordered that
committee proceed to investigate the
contest between O. Seamans ami J. C.
Barton contested for the nomination ol
Ordinary, discussion,
After mature it was order
ed that the primary bekl on the 22 d., of
Ootober be declared off, so far as the
oontesta on motion. for It was ordinary fanner are ordered concerned, that
a
Democratic primary for the oilier of Or¬
dinary 3892. be held on the 10 day of Dec ,
This was all done w ithout, in any
way, of his giving to Judge showing Seamans, or either
attorneys, any whatever,
and to their great surprise. Was thi
fair ? Was this right ‘l Was it just ?
W as it impartial ? Was It legal. Feid
the committee, oomplaints not only had in said room
of said Barton and his
oounoel, thereto but they hail a oomplaint and a
repoit of the managers of the
town precinot, and also a petition ot
some, nine of our citizens, selling them,
the oommittee, to throw out the tmiiii
of thif leven voters herein before named,
because they were thirdpurty ites ami
republicans, The exi-tance etc. of tho Haiti last
wholly unknown Judgo papers
was to Beamans
Or his counsel till the II inst.
oeedure Pasgiug and uway action, from this unjust pro
let us look to Un¬
law of the ease:
Judge Beamans nor his counsel were
ever served with any notice of the
grounds permitted of the hearing contest, before nor the were they
a commit
tea.
One of llie resolutions novo ruing said
elec ion on the 22, says, “ Election shall
be conducted by the managers ns tin
general elections are. The act of 1891
on primary shall, elections bolore intering .Vys, “ The man¬ thi
agers (heir each upon
discharge subscribe of duties, take, anil
to nn oath ‘That he will faith¬
fully and impartially and honestly cun
duct the samo according to the provi
the law s of Bait] state governing regulat
elections for the offices of this slate. ”
Code 8 eo. 1281 in defining tho oath ol
managers, says among other things that,
“ We will not knowingly permit any out —
to vote unless we believe he is entitled
to do so according to the laws of tiri
state, voting nor knowingly who prohibit any oni
from Is so emitted by law ’
Now who are entitled to vote under
th j laws tho ol Georgia U. ? Every mule citi
xen of resident S., of the twenty-one years of
age, a state one year, ol
the county, six months, and has paid all
taxes required of binding him. This Primary
election law, Is as and as -acrid
as any of the other laws of the state
Now, could the managers of s - id elu¬
tion, under their oaths as aforesaid,
which they took, refuse to lot any out
of the eleven the first requirement named parties’ vote.
Was petty that tlu tin
voter should promise to vo e for
nominees to override the positive law ■
Now was not said election held under
this law, if so, where is there any law to
contest the same f " e say emphatical¬
ly, there is none. Where is there am
law saying lor the said election can be set
aside, any reason whatever ?
T here being no law to contest or to
set aside aaid election, how then can
said oommittee declare the ehetion
**©ti; " but even supposing the commit¬
tee had aiiT power in the matter, (w tiich
we deny) and cau they single out one of tin
offices declare the election “ off ” in¬
to that, and hold and leave all of tin
other offices, to-wit ; The clerk, Sheriff,
tax receiver, tax collector, treasurer,
countx servevor and eorornor to stand.
If said there election, was illegality it is related or irregularity to the whole in
and not to one Individual. We do not
like to seo su h elacticiiy as has been
shown in this matter.
Ike act of 1891 says “ At the election
the manage the is slndl proceed to publicly
to sult- et uni ” Didn't votes the |and declare the te
