The Vote of KlbeH.
Tho county democratic executive commit
tee of Klbcrt county cooslsti of six Gordon men
and seven Becon men. The committee, open 4b-
eumioo eesne time ego. decided that they would
order a primary election for the county. The Gor
don men met tonight with determination, and the
county Is bow, on the popular rote, overwhelming
ly for Gordon, the Gotdoa men claimiog it hy
from three to font hundred. The executive eeai-
miuce has met, however, and a new
has been given the e lectio*.
Tbe Gordon men of the *a—-mitt
favored a popular vote of tbe oounty, but the
Bacon men outvoted them end decided to here
the vote by dtftrtcta. There ere twelve districts,
entitled to two delegatee each, making e oounty
convention Jof twenty-four ;dokwatee, which >tU
choose the county's two delegates to Ihe Rate con
vention. In several districts ta the county General
Gordon's majorities will be overwhelming, but his
vote will count no more than in the lees populous
districts that he may carry. On the general vote
In the county hl» majority will be overwhelm

Notwithstanding the fact, however, that Chert
county was considered one of Bacon's strongholds

FLOORED DY A QUESTION.
Major Bacon Thrown Off His Balance by
Young Attorney.
Tallapoosa, Ga., June 20.—[Special.]—Hon,
A. O. Bacon was introduced by the Hon. J. tf. Mc
Bride, with complimentary allusions to his tried
record, and regretted very much that the speaker
would he limited In his time.
Major Bacon then arose to address the people.
He stated that he was sorry tbat be wes limited In
time, ou account of his appointment at Forsyth,
He opened his speech by referring to the railroad
commission law, of which he pronounced himself
in favor. He then spoke of the convict lease law,
condemning U in Its broadest terms.
Whereupon Colonel L. V. Herder, a rising young
lawyer of our town, arose In a very calm and de
liberate manner, and Inquired of tbe major:
"Where were you, and what did you do when tbe
convict lease law was enacted?*
In somewhat an exdted manner he asked the
colonel to be seated. In reply he said, with flash
lag eyes and reddened face, as^f he was hunting
for some vile sarcasm la order to avdd Uie answer
U> the legitimate question: “If you should lire to
be os old os Methuselah, I could answer any quev
tion tbat you could put to me.”
Colonel Merdcr, In reply, said: "Never mind Me
tbuselah, and annwer my question,
• Bacon then said: "flit down, end I will answer
the question. I was in the legislature at that time
It wss the best they could do. If my young friend
hsd not had on such short clothes he would hsve
asked no such a question."
Cries from the Bacon men—"Answer no ques
tions."
At this Juncture Major Bacon excused himself.
Is this the way for true Georgians to answer legit
imate questions?
He mads Gordon many votes.
We have the Gordon (not the typhoid) fever in
this county. _

a Gordon meeting and tbe attack of the Macon Tel

GORDON IN JEFFERSON.
Loclsville, Ga., Juno 26.—[Spodnl.]—In
accordance with tbe notice given to the^eople of
Jefferroo county, on Wednesday the 23d instant,
a large and enthusiastic crowd assembled in Louis

loved by tbe eouihern people. On his arrival at
(be depot Jn LoopvHJe. he gas met by a large por
tion of tbe crowd with a handsomly decorated
carriage drawn by six handsome white horses. A
Urge crowd hsd assembled at the depet, and on
the appearance ef General Gordon, he was cheer
ed b> (be people, and tbe woods for a dlstaac*
around tbe depot echoed with hurrahs for Gordon,
ai.d told or tbe warm reception given to Georgia's
statesman and roldier.
Thc£fcJnd and patriotic ladies of Louisville, as a
labor of love to them, had lost no time
in dec orating In the most beantlftil manner with
fiowei* and garlands tbe stand upon which Gen
eral Gordon spoke. Upon General Gordon's arrival
at tbe stand In his beautifully decorated carriage
sect tnpanlcd by an escort or prominent citUens,
tbe Interest and enthusiasm displayed by the peo
ple of both texea waa wild and intense. General
Gordon was introduced ter Mr. W. L. Fhllllpps in
an eloquent address which toklof the exploits af
of tbe southern people.
General Gordonarose before an audience of
about one thousand people, and in a dear and
distinct voice addressed them for about two hour*.
Illssprech contained none of the slang and slan
der as reported hy opposition journals in other
places, but was a statement of true facts, showing
to the people of Jeflferson county that he dealt
fairly with his opponent. General Gordon fully
vindicated himself against the charges which are
reported la tbe orgeat ot tbe opposition, and dem
onstrated conclusively that he was stiH worthy of
tbe confidence, esteem and support of the people.
General Gordon showed tbat if he was now sup-

This waa General Gordon’s first appearance in
Jefferson county, and by his pleasant manner and
eloquent address not only strengthened and ad
vanced his course, but really captivated the people
or Jefferson. Many of bis old comrades iu arms
who served under him were here to meet blm, and
were delighted to meet once more their brave old
commander.
General Gordon went from here to Pope Bill, iu
this county, and there, at four o'clook in the even-

General Gordon and tha State Itoad Leaae,
Editor. Constitution: For fear that aomc
misapprehension hu been creeled concerning my
report of General Gordon's reference to hts poaltlon
as to the State road, I write this to further ex
plain whet he said of It In hts apeeeh. I reported
him as haring aald that ha “wai opposed to the
lease or sale of the State road and would reto
any bill looking to such measure.” What he did
tay was that he waa absolutely opposed to the sale
of the 8tate road and would veto any anch bill,
and that he waa moat positively opposed to Its
leaae to a competitive line of which bis opponent
wascounrol.
The school ftindot Ihe state la very materially
helpad from the proceeds ot the lease or the state
reed, and many of our people are, of course, op-
pond to such e large source of rerenne being ent
off from the educational fund. They are come-
qnemly opposed to the ante of tho road, and don't
want it tensed to thooompaay which la Its compet
itor, end ot which Mr. Baoon la counsel.

The Young Mountain Demosthenes Swallo 1
Him Again*
• Dalton, Oo, Jnne 84.—[Special.]—Dr. Pel-
(Jon arrived today on the up train, and met his
appointment at this place. He was met at the
train by Colonel William Tibbs, Jr., and Dr. Main,
who eocorted him to the courthouse, led by thu
Dalton band. The home was filled with about
COO people, the comity having been drummed up
to bring in a crowd by Baoon runners. Promptly
gt 12 o'clock, Dr. Main announced that
COLONEL WK. OLXNN
would open the discussion with a thirty minutes'
speech, and that Dr. Felton would follow with a
two hours' speech, to be followed by Colonel
Glenn ad libitum.
Colonel Glenn launched out at oaoe in a vigor
ous and telling speech upon the Issues of t re
gubernatorial campaign, touching upon the rian-
ders against General Gordon, and charging tie
Bacon ring in conspiracy with the rail
soad and other monopolies and again»
the people. He claimed to represent the organ
iced democracy of the state, and denonstrated
Dr. Felton to be the wrecker of the party. He was
now, however, snowed under forever, except as a
political ghost He hitherto sought, as a dema
gogue, only his selfish ends. After paying the
gallant Gordon a handsome and eloquent tribute
he yielded tbe floor to Dr. Felton, his time having
expired, and sat down, amidst tremendous ap
plause.
Dr. Felton began and continued for two hours
his usual harangue, based upon a lot of inference*,
out of which mole hills he constructs the huge
mountain of opinions which he entertains about
Gordon. He did not dwell so much upon his
record today, though occasionally he paid high
tribute of praise to himself. The stereotyped
charges against Gordon were vigorously put, ac
companied with the faint and feeble praise of Ba
con infeontrast, and himself standing tn the oh.
jcctlve front of tbe picture.
At the conclusion of Dr. Felton's speech, Colonel
Glenn arose. Dr. Felton was lost
LEA VINO THK HOUSE,
followed only by a few men. Colonel Glenn
charged that it was cowardly to leave the house after
tho many personalities In which he had Indulged
toward him specially with regard to the 81m mo os
matter. Indignation prevailed pretty generally,
to such an extent, In fact, that Dr. Felton was
compelled to stay and not take the train. It was
then tbat Colonel Glenn poured out a volume of
larcastlo replies to the personalty of Dr. Felton,
which brought down the house with tremenous
and repeated applause. For several minutes at a
time Colonel Glenn could not speak at all for the
uproar. It was "Hnrrah for Glenn !” as often as
for "Gordon.” Then the colonel took np the argu
ments, in detail, of the doctor, and punctured them
In a marvelously condensed, logical and potent
series of arguments, eloquently and powerfully
put. The convict lease system, the Huntingdon
slander, theNewcombe connection, the Atlanta
ring, the protection of the Western
ana Atlantic railroad, the Gordon
resignation and the like were scattered
to the four winds, while Doctor Felton sat appar
ently as badly a hacked monos was ever seen.
Colonel Glenn closed with a magnificent eulogy of
Gordon, amidst the repeated plandlts of a roaring
multitude. Doctor Felton closed about 5 (o'clook,
the audience having sat five boars to hear the elo
quent spes kers. our young Demosthenes held his
own with the powerful Felton, and over-matched
hJm by (hr In the arguments (employed in the de
fense of Gordon and the demolition of Bacon and
his defender. The crowd was large, and about
two-thirds were Gordon men. Doctor Felton's
coming was wfsllure for Bacon, and many of the
crowd were sick of It.

Conatltatlon: In glancing over a Macon

ning ot the war until the last gun waa tired at Ap

ment. Such en insinuation as above alluded lo,
b a a] and tv on one of the grandest and most gen
erous heroes that ever led an army. General Gor
don, during tha war and since, waa always kind
endgeneraoalotba private soldiers, end those
who were wtth him will beer testimony to thto
everywhere.
Daring hla stay In Montgomery some weeka

gave "three cheers” tor Ihe old here. He lifted
hla bat and responded by proposing “three cheers’’
tor tbe hraye and gallant officers and privates who
