with tho proentao that their man would be in
tho tend again by tbla morning. Instead of
(hat be baa dropped atlll farther to the rear.
Tho peat week has been tho beat week that ha
will hare in thlacampaign. Wo mean by tbla
that ha haa carried more rotee tbla week In
proportion to the delegates elected than ho
Win carry again daring the campaign.
Aetodyoftborotcaoftbe week la Interest
ing. In three counties the mass meeting)
postponed the selection of ddogates and or
dered primaries, Thomas, Udsoogeeand Wil
cox. In each of these counties, a) reports will
' show; General Gordon had a majority In tho
meeting. The presumption la tbatjlf delegates
had been elected by the meetings that Gordon
would have carried eaeb county. This wonld
hare Increased bis rote by ten. In not a sin-
. glo county were tho Bacon men In majority
where the election of delegates was postponed.
Here Is another fact. The Macon Telegraph
* I toasted early In the campaign that there were
thirty-nine counties conceded to Bacon with-
out u light, while Gordon hed to "scullie" for
•rosy coonty that bo got. The exact rererse
Is proved to be true. During the week Gen
eral Gordon haa carried Cobb, Ilrooks and
Putnam without oppoeltlon, or by a vote of
dxtoona, while Major Bacon hsa barely
managed to eeratoh through for a short ma
jority In the two counties ho hu carried. All
through tho campaign Gordon’a vote# haro
been overwhelming, while Bacon haa woo by
the skin of bla tooth. This shows beyond a
doubt that the people aro wltb Gordon, and
indicate plainly what the llusl result of the
ctmpelgn will be.
The Bacon men will make their most des
perate light this week, and will try to hoop
General Gordon from Incraaalng his load. Uo>
mail tactics ban been adopted. In Oconee
county tho meat meeting bad been called for
duly. The chairman of tho committee arbi
trarily ahortoned the time, and ealled tho
meeting for dune 34th. In Twiggs
county the mass mooting ban alto
been called for tho 24th. though
no reason has yet boon given why Thnraday
should hare bean aelectod for then two ooun-
tlos when Tuesday or Batnrday la the usual
day. In Twiggs county a moat nnutual atop
haa been taken. Tho mass mooting It callod,
not at the county site, hut at a station tlx mllot
array which situated in a part of the county
that is strongest for Bacon. Tho clear policy
of calling thoeo two couotlca on ThunJiy It
to hare both counties net for Btcon in tho
hope of inllnenelng .Saturday's eleetiuns. Both
couulles are conceded to Bacnn, and it It
hoped that they will haro an clfoct on Satur
day’s primaries.
The Gordon men are wido awoke, and will
mset the achemes of the Bacon men by hard
and carneat work. They aro well organised.
They understand etch other thoroughly. Tboy
are nut giving their candidate a perfunctory
auppoit, but they aro with him beoauto they
lore him, and Iweauso they believe In him.
Because ha haa been slandered, and becauto
they know It, and bccauto ho It the hast and
the greatest man of the two. Wo print tho ta

compacted by a committee from Valdosta, at
seven o clock. Bren at that early boor a
great concourse of people mot him at tho
depot. As ho stopped from tho cars, cheer af
ter cheer went up Itota the crowd. Tho most
remarkablo feature of tbo campaign was pro
sen ted at this tlms. A groat body of clMsoaa
on horseback, many of them his old soldiers,
were drawn up In regular order, forming a
long lino, fronting tho depot grannie, wilt
well dealgned banners and smaller Hags,
cheering as they waved their
hats and flags, while the
dispensed "Dixie.’ 1 The general wsa
escorted to tho carriage by the committeo
which waa preceded in tho march by the band
and followed by those on horseback, and
Urge concourse of people Ailing the sidewalks

in groups waving their handkerchiefs and

well-to-do farmers bad come on foot from flvo

tho main street from tbo depot to Screven
street, and around the public square,

Commercial house, whom tho gonenl hut

etor, II. A. McCall, who ta a Gordon man.
The general hu been thronged all day by

Just at ten o'clock another precession was
formed In front of the hotel and moved to tho
public square, pi .ceded by the band, which
rendered some very line music, to the stand,
which wua ornamented by a splendid floral
display. Among those decorations by the
lovely ladles of Qoltman waa one with tho
motto, "Our hearts aro in the cause.” An Im
mense audience was gathered around the

GKNXXAL OOBDOK SPEAKS.
General Gordon arose amidst tha most
tumultuous applause. Beginning his address
by referring to tho tact that when last hero hu
wu accompanied by tho Immortal B. H, Hill,
while seeking the redemption of this asetion
from misrepreaontaUon in coagnra, ba drew
a striking contrast bstwsen tho situation then
and now. Ho thon proceeded to review tome
of tho political controversion from tho founda
tion of tho government to thn present time.
Ho showed that some of the greatest aid
purest a ta teaman of the put had bwnt maligned
and slandered; bnt It wu tha glory of this re
public and Its people that such methods hid
nover boon Indoned, bnt indignantly rohnksd
by tbo honest people of tho country. Ho paid
a compliment to hit competitor and plead
eloquently for higher methods In poli
tico. Ho uld it was a matter of
little coaaoqnoncs to tho public whether ho
wu elected or not, but It ta a matter of great
er oonsequenoo that tho young man of tha
country should bo brought to tread higher
petht In ueking advancement than thou
which aro pursued in this campaign. Ills
whole speech, from tho beginning to tbo end,
wu received wltb cheers and rounds of ap
plause.
It left a deep and lastiug impression upon
tbo people.
At Its conclusion a largo number of ladlei
showered bouquets aud flowers upon him, and
both sexes crowded to the stand to ahalre his
hand. Brooks Is overwhelmingly for her be
loved Gordon.

audience showed up for Gordon.

Felton In LaUrango.
LaGranuk Ga.. Juuo Hi.—[Special.]-For
two weeks Troup county bu been flooded
with Aiming announcements that Dr. Falton
wonld address the people bora today In tho
Interest of Major Bacon. Tha announcement
claimed that more people would ba pnaant
than assembled bare In 1801 to au the fir«
military company afiT ta tha front.
The day ta now ended. Not twenty-five
men came in from tha county and not over 100
rallied In tho courthouse. Felton harangued,

a man of state reputation, proposed g petition

Social Circle, Ga- Juno 18.—[Special.]—
From tbo beginning of tha campaign the
Bacon element bu claimed Walton county by
a voto of four to one. Today, however, it
seems that things have undergone a change.
The chance now ta not only good, bnt it ta
quite certain that Gordon will carry the
county.
Great interest had been manifested in the
dlsensslon which took place today between
Colonel W. C. Glenn and Dr. W. H.
■Felton. By 10 o’elock tho people from
the country began to arrive and
by 12 an andience of perhaps

COLONEL CLINK INTRODUCED,
At a little after twelve o’clock, Her. F. if.
Malabey come on tbo platform and introduced
Colonel Glenn. Ho spoke of Colonol Glonn aha
finished orator and debater,and paid a glowing
tribute to General Gordon.
Mr. Glenn’s speech was a flneoflVirt. It wu
a model polltlsal speech, and won for himself
tho admiration of his audience, and gained
many votes for Gordon. He made no side is-
sure, bnt went boldly into the subject and
discussed the relative merits of tho two candi
dates. Ho raid, in substance,
‘ We are met today u democrats to discuss
tbo claims of tho condidatos for govern

Major FerrIU—“He did not say It hire."
Mr. Glonn — "Here it the s'.nry

asked: "Colonel Lugley, is my witness re

he is.”
Mr. Glenn—"Jnst Imagine the Titan Falton

Mr. Olonn then took up the Huntington

that Gordon’s con roe throughout was wise
