It wee generally understood that bo was a
candidate before then; bat not until tho 1st of
Mnv did be reply. HA letter of that date
told of the wrongs of the railroads and said
that "evidently, tbe wAset statesmanship will
be neccmery to tbe adjustment of these grow
ing evl A" und ho consented to go to congress
for that purpose. That correspondence has
been published in every county in this dis
trict. Commenting on it, n newtpspor in tba
district, on the Aral of Juno last, said of Colo
nel Mynatt:
“He was a member of tbe constitutions!
cenventkn of 1877 and ably und persistently
advocated tbe railroad commiatiou, which was
pertinaciously opposed by Hon. N. J. Ham
mond. He was in the general assembly which
passed tbo bill as It now itande, establishing
tho commission. No member of that body bed
more to do with formulating that bill—nous
more untiring in advocating und defending it
than he—nntil It became n lew.” And thin
statement A now going the rounds of tbe pa
pers in the district.
This correspondence and them editorials put
forward two proposltione, vis.: 1st. That bo-
ceusoof Colonel Mynett’s “zealous end sue-
ceasfulstruggle with giant corporations in our
last constitutional convention end In tbe legis
lature, etc,,’’ he A par excellence the beat
man In our district to deal with the interstate
commerce problem In congress: and secondly,
that Mr. Hammond A not good for that pur
pose became ha "pertinaciously opposed’’ the
commission Aw. Did Colonel Mynatt "suc
cessfully" lead in any snch legislation In the
convention of 1877 or In the general atteubljr
Tke record of tbe convention ehews that he
moved an amendment te to "long tod short
haul’’ bnt withdraw tho seme before It was
voted npon. That record shows that he advo
cated the report on thet subject, made by
General Toeuba, bnt that it and Beward’a and
Holcomb’s amendments, bnt that it was voted
down end that tbe to imitate of Mr. Boom,
of Wilbes, wu udonted und A now in tbe con
stitution.
Did Colonel Mynatt successfully lend in the
bouse of representativest Did he lead on thA
subject at till Let the journal! speak.
On tbe 8th day of November, 18rS, Mr. Ban-
bln, of Gordon, introduced bit bill to regulate
wrongs by railroads. On tba aune day Mr.
Fort, of Aurerieoe, introduced bis bill. On the
13tb of Noveniheir Mr. Garrard, of Muscogco,
introduced bin MIL And on tho 18th of No-
vcmbcrColonel Mynatt, not leading but fol
lowing, Introduced bA bill. At Ate u the33th
of November, 1878, Colonel Mynatt Introduced
a bill to prevent "pooling,’’ and this fact of
1A introdnctlon hu been deemed so important
ns to be mentioned in several newapapon
lately. Wu he sncceeatol in eithorT The
Jonrnal shows that bis bill to prevent

Tho Fort end Bankin bills were emended
end considered and puaed the bouse under
the name of the Fort-Runkln bill; because
they, not Colonel Mynatt, lead in tbo matter.
Colonel Mynatt voted with them, bnt ao did
Dr. Itoach and Colonel Hulsey, and so far as
we are informed they deserve u much credit
in the mstter as Colonel Mynatt.
Up to tbit point no mention bu hecu made
of any ccmmlasiou bill in tbe house. On tbo
lllh of November, 1878, Mr. Fort introduced
tbe only bill for a railroad cnmmlsdon which
wuput before tho house and It was never
[ rested even to a ■croud reading. Nobody
n tbe houso ever alluded to it, so far as we
remember.
The Fort-Bankin bill went to the aenete on
the 13lh of September, 1879, and wu referred
to tbe committee on railroads. Judge Lump-
bin, tbe chairman, reported, on the 1st of Oc-
later, 1879, tbe railroad commission bill u e
substitute for tbe house bill, end It pused by
a vote of 37 yeas to 7 nays. When It went to
the house Mr. Itankin, not Colonel Mynatt,
moved to emend by e provision u to "long
end short haul," end that wu rejected. The
bill wu between tbe two bouses until the Uth
cf October, 1OT. The house Anally concurred
with the aenate's amendment upon the motion
of Mr. Bankin, by yeu 102 to nan 37. Ful
ton's memtera all voted "yea:" they yieldod
lo the more popular method of a commission
whau their news were rejected. And It A re
markable ihet no e ffort hu since been nude
to go beck to tke method advocated by Colonel
Mynatt. On the contrary, tbe unanimous
wish of the friends of snch legislation is to
keep tbe commission u now organised.
Were these Acte known to the exeellont
gentlemen when, at this late day, they pro
pose to pay that old “debt" of 18777 Wero
they all known to tbe writer or that editorial
which gus-e Colonel Mynatt credit for "formn-
latlng” that bill end advocating its passage?
Purely not The petition made no charge
•gainst Mr. Hammond u to bA conduct in tbit
convention. Ho, with inch men uGovernor
Jenkins, oppoaod the Toomke report and favor
ed tbo Rseae substitute. Wu that luimical to
Atlanta's Interest? Her people thought net so,
fer they immediately elected him, with
UrloneA Mynatt and Uulroy, to the legislature
of 1878 9, end before ho could take hit seat
there the same people sent delegates to a con
vention of tbo old flfth district, where he was
nominated over Judge Stewart, Colonel Dun
can. of Uouaten, and tbe Hen. M. A. Candler,
of DeKtib. It will be remembered that that
was before specie reeumption and the Issues
of that campaign wero AaencAl end nut at to
railroads In Georgia. Ur. Hammond bu been
continuously renominated and re-elected to
congress by increased majorities ever since,
though sometimes opposed by very strong meu
with very strong backing.
Considering that the commission bill it to
popular tbet both candidates for governor
were trying to outdo each other in lb praise.
It wun grave wrong to give to Colonel My
natt the cttdlt of lb authorship, or of even
aiding in flaming the bill. In tho light ef thou
facts. It wu a gravec wrong to charge Mr.
Hirumond, absent npon public duty u our
representative at Wuhiagtou, with hiv
ing. "pertinaciously opposed" tke com-
mission MU. He wu in coagveu when
it wu passed and hu never uttered * word
•gaiaet that bill anywhere. The Atlanta
chamber of commerce, always working tor the
feed of enr;eity, understanding tke mine of
radioed commissions, on the 12th day of May,
1889. passed resolutions Indorsing the Cullom
iuter-kUUe commerce biU as "aboolntely wish
Just and accessary legislation, doing equal jus
tice to both transportation Him aad the pub
lic," and asked Ur. Hammond's support of tbe
Mil. Promptly, u soon u temporary illness
would allow him, on the 17th day of May last,
Mr. Hammond responded thet he would. HA
reason therefore wu: "A railroad commission

the friende of Colonel Mynatt will not vote

would not use him tunply to endanger Mr.

They have called public attention to the

Gem If men remind me that we are not discus*
sing the subject of a representation in the
houso but in tha senate. I cannot, nor can
any other gentleman, discuss the one without
discussing the other, for there is no method by
which you can base representation in the
tiDHte that will not apply to the house also."
When later the matter was discussed as to
tbo house of representatives, General Gartrell
1 tinted out the practical rcaultaofthe idea,
and said, 'Therefore, if gen
tlemen desire thet the smaller
counties shall be protected, and there has been
aatiugglo here this morning to securo them
repress tat ions, I warn them now that they
should reject this proposition. We should by
all means vote it down: It seems to bo
p!au«ib!c, bnt it is against the interests of
thetmaller counties and I move that tho auk*
•titute lio upon the table." Tho motion pre
vailed, Mr. Hammond voting "yea" and Colo-
ncl Mynatt voting "nay." See page 363 of
taid proceedings.
To test tho practical workings of that notion
of Colonel Mynatt, examine how it would op
erate in our congressional district. Now, Ful
ton bnt there'rtf) rrsentati vet, DeKalb and Wal
ton two each, and the other eight rountie* ono
each, making a total of fifteen. By tho last
census tho population of the counties,In round
tboorands, was as follows: Csmpboll ten,
Clayton eight, DeKalb fonrtccu and a half,
Douglas seven, Fay*tto eight and a hair,
Fnlton forty-nine, Henry fourteen, Newton
thirteen and a half, Rockdale seven, 8palding
twelve and a half, and Walton fifteen and a
half thousands, or a total of one hundred and
fifty-pine and a half thousands. Sowsweuld
hsvo a representativo for each ten thoueand
six bundled votes. Clsyton, Douglas, Fay
ette sud Rockdale would each have lost its
representative and be tlod on to another coun
ty. DeKalb and Walton would each have lost
one.
So thoroughly is representation for each
county fixed on our people that even whan
grouped for senatorial districts each oounty
claims its turn by rotation. How will the
smaller counties like Colonel Mynatt's notion?

Mr. Ltttle, or MoKocee. said: "1 very much hope
