Genera! Gordon increased his lead last week
Terr handsomely.
The Bacon organs persistently charged that
the friends of General Gordon had grouped
the Gordon counties together and rnihed them
in early so as to prodneo an street. We dem-
enstrated the falsity of this assertion on last
Tuesday. The result of last week's election,
which is printed below, shows that they were
without the slightest basis. General Gordon
carried a larger proportion of the counties
last week, than the ones that
acted the week before. Ho carried every county
that acted on Thursday, both the counties
that acted on Friday, and nearly
every one that acted on Saturday.
The truth is, the people are for Gordon in
every section of the state, and by overwhelm.
Jng majorities.
Tjie Cohstitution has never yet asserted
positively that Gcnoral Gordon would be
nominated. In the opening of this campaign
we felt that it was a desperate fight, with the
chances very much against General Gordon,
We adopted as our motto: "It is work, not
words, that count." We have not boasted and
have made no extravagant claims. In every
cate the result has been better than our estl
mate. The Macon Telegraph had a monopoly
on the "claiming” business, and wo did not
like to encroach on its territory. There is
nothing now, however, that can prevent the
nomination of General Gordon, and for the
first timo we make this declaration. Heiacks
- only thirty votes of having a majority of the
convention. Wepiediotthathewlll havo a
clear msjoilly of the convention, that is,
more than ITS votes, by tonight
8 o’clock. With this prediction we submit
the details of last week’s elections to our read
ers: ______
Wilkes County for Gordon.
Teweille, Ga., July 1.—[Special]—Wish
ington county voted today. For Gordon, 402; Ba
con, 331. A heavy rain storm washing up the rail
roads and making the streams impassable, accounts
for Gordon’s majority not being larger. Folly two
hundred Gordon men were kept away iromtho
lower part of tho county, whero he was strongest.
Var y of them had to wade tbrodgh water up to
their armpl Is and walk ten and twelfe miles to
vote for their favorite. The meeting was perfectly
harmonious, and the hast feeling prevailed. The
vote was taken by the Gordon men forming on tho
west side of the court house yard, and tho Bacon
men on the east aide. A ilag, with the inscription
of Gordon's brigade was planted, when the Gordon
men with a war whoop rallied around it, remind
ing one of tho days when Gordon led them in his
gallant charges on the heights of Gettysburg,
Bharpebnrg and gpottsylvsnla. ThfBaoon men,
assisted by a full corps of Macon drummers, led by
Dr. Bummerlyn, Randall Franklin, made a gallant
light, but soon struck their colors. The Gordon
men arc jubilant. Barnes wu Indorsed for con
gress. The present siatehouso otneers were in
dorsed. ______
The Way Schley Went.
Ellavim-e, Go., July 1.—[Special.]—Sohloy

the Macon Telegraph against General Goraoa by a

stood: Gordon ISO; Bacon 42.

A LIMEY, Ox, July 1.—[Special.]—The influ
ence of the local papers added to persistent can
vesting on the part or Bacon and his blends,
amounted to nothing when "the poople" got to-
gether. Old Dougherty falls into lino with nine-
tyflvs majority for Stonewall Jackson's successor,

vigorously, the election pused off quietly. The

Tho Surprise of tho Campaign,*
The genuine surprise of the campaign was
in tho vote of Emanuel county yesterday,
All of our correspondents, even the most
sanguine Gordon men in Emanuel county,
have conceded it to Bacon. General Gordon
was sent there to speak became he wu in the
neighborhood, end was willing to leads for
lorn hope. Upon returning to Atlanta he re
ported that he saw no chance to carry Emanu
el Bnt there is a peculiar piece of history
about the Emanuel election. The executive
committee of Emanuel is composed of Bacon
men. It ordered a primary election on
Thursday to select representatives and sena
tor. Tho Gordon men begged that tho guber
natorial delogatoa bo elected on tha tame day
and in tha tame manner, urging that there
was no nso in taking (the farmers away
from their crops two days in tucceulon,
when one election would do for both. The
Bacon men refused, and called a "mass moot
ing” to select delegates to tho state conven
tion in Swalnsboro on Friday, the very next
day after tho election. General Gordon de
nounced this trickery in his speech, and far-
mere arose in hit andtenee and stated that
they had riden twenty-five miles to hear him
speak, and would, be forced to ride twenty,
five miles to get to Swalnsboro to voto for
him, although they wore to vote in a primary
election at thoirown precincts, where tho voto
might be cut for governor u well as for rep:
resentatlves, except for tho refttsal of
tho Bacon man to allow tho two elec
tions to come on tho same day. Tho result
of this trick la that tha good farmers of Eman
uel county roto np and rebuked it by the in
credible voto of 340 to 08.

nor Any of tho Central Committee.
Wc are informed that a letter ia being cir
culated throughout Gwinnett county. it
Is addrceied to Mr. Green p, Newsom, or Snell-
vlllc, Gs, snd It Is repotted to say shout In sub
stance u follows:
My Dkab Sir—Having loomed that you are s
urge that you go out to Lawrencovillo on nost
Tuesday and aulit In lending delegate! favorable
to General Gordon's nomination, u this will
greatly help tho cause of tho
stock law men. Seo all tho stock
law men in your section, and bo sure to got them
out. Bhow this letter only to stock-law men.
Gobdoh CauraioN Committer.
Wo assert most positively that no such letter wu
ever, anthoriied by the central Gordon oommlttoo,
or by General Gordon himself or by any one au
thorised to repreaent him. irony such letter is
being circulated JU is without the authority of any
body authorised to represent General Gordon. We
have Inquired of every clerk In the commttteo
room, and of every member of tho oommlttoo, and
wo havo the most positive statement from each
and every ono of them that nono of
them wrote, dictated or authorised any such
letter, or anythlog like it In tho remotost do
les.
On the contrary, a number of letters have been
received at the Gordon headquarters asking for
Gordon’s views on tho stock law, and on othsr lo-
questions. These litters have boon
without excaption answered as follows:
That genual aordon’a views on those lo.
cal questions were not known to tho com
mltteo. That ho had declined to oxprem his
views on purely local questions, and that It was
considered unwise to mix thorn questions with the
gubernatorial campaign, Scores of letters have
been written by tbs Gordon campaign committed
declining to express any views for General Gor
don on the stock law question and
arc now In the hands of eitinns nil
over the state. Wo do not know what Uonsral
Gordon's views tie on the stock law. Ws do not
know that ho has any views on the supjcct. Wo
do know that he believes that eaoh community
ought lobs altered to settle that question for It
self without any outside Interference.
If such a letter as la described above is being
circulated In Gwinnett connty, wo hereby pro
nounce it unauthorised. We hereby declare that
it wu not sent from Gordon’s headquarters or by
tbs authority of General Gordon, criby
Gordon central oommittee. We
havo General Gordon’s written authority
tor this statement u fer ns he Is concerned, and
the authority of the members of the Gordon cen
tral committee for the statement u fer u they
mcerned. We fleatre lo put this In the Strong,
est possible manner. No such letter, and no letter
similar to It in the remotest degree, has been is
sued from these headquarters, and wo are prepared
to tornlah the aBdavit of every clerk In tho com-
mlttee rooms to the effect that no such latter hu
been pin lo them, or written, or printed by
them.
A Gallant Candidate.
Tho Gordon campaign that will be practi
cally cioeed this week, Is the most brilliant era
recorded in the history of Georgia politick Too
much praise cannot.be given to the friends of Gen
eral Gordon In each connty, who havo rallied and
fought for him in their local contests. In almost
every Instance they bare had to fight against the
trained politicians of the county, banded In solid
strength and entrenched hi position.
General Gordon himself bu been such a candi
date u all men moat lore and admire. From tho
Hist ho declared that his reliance wu with tho
peepie, end ha bu made no appeal thatjwu not
addressed to the people. "X want to moot tha
people of thia state face to bee.” This wu hla first
utterance in the campaign tnd it hu been hla
shibboleth all tho time It wu the dealre to meet
the people of Georgia face to fee* and confront
hla enemies there, more than anything else that

PROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN.
The Dawfonvillo Ntfwi makes the good point theft
Gordon'* aheep rancho, insurance, lumber and
other failures,took place pretious to his ro-clectton
to the senate. Yet In the face of all this, Bacon
voted for b Js re-election. Bacon must either havo
believed Gordon clear of these charges, or be held
under the charge of having knowingly voted for
an unworthy man. Tho News asks:
Onght he not have protested in burning words ot
righteous indignation, Instead of voting to perpe
trate so grevlons a wrong upon the people of Geor
gia as that act of ro-elccting Gordon was. upon tho
eiipjXNsltlon the half, or even the tenth, of what
the Bacon’s friends assert to him Is true?
Joseph Burns writes to the Hawklnsrllle News:
I notice in the last "Note Book" that Dr. T. F.
Walker sayrfthatll sald' ifGmieralGordon was dead
that I would namo my influtt boy after him, but
that I thought it dangerous policy to name a child
after a living man for fear that he might do some
thing bad," or words to that effect I did not say
any such thing. Ibellevothat General Gordon is
as pure a man as ever lived and that there Is no
danger of his doing anything that any man can
trutnfully say is wrong, and to prove It I havo
named my boy John Gordon Barns.
Colonel J. F. Willis, of Hawklnsvllle, who waft
announced on the Bacon ticket for Pntaikl connty,
demands in the following letter that justloe be
done him:
I see in the Hawklnsvllle Dispatch that my name
is announced aa an alternate on the Bacon ticket
out my knowledge or consei
my duty to publicly'decline
and forbid the use ot
S rirnary election on^jSy Tth,
on delegates, for in voting
him, andin voting for any one elie, or permitting
my asms ran, 1 am voting or working against
General Gordon. I shall vote for no man except
he be far Gordon, end It matters not whether the
Gordon dolcgatea are my personal preferences or
not, 1 am voting for Gordon, and the delegatee are
only the medium through which I cut my voto
for this grand, true and tried friond of tho people.
It appears to bo certain that General Gordon
carried tho democratic vote of Chattooga county in
splteof the claims that It wu solid tor Baoon. Ho
wu bet ten thirty-six votes In the total Hon.
John 8, CTeghorn, his staunch supporter, proposed
to put np five hundred dollars with nothing against
It, go through the polls careftiUy, exolude every
republican and illegal vote, and If Gordon did not
have a majority of the balance, ho would giro tire
five hundred dollars to the two Bacon lawyers who
made the test u a fee. They declined to accept thu
banter and can rasa tho voter. Mr. Cleghorn Is
willing to pot np Ura firs hundred dollars, not u a
bet, but simply us too tlOentral Gordon did not
get n majority of tho democratic votes of the
connty.
