Kjutoks Union Recorder: If the contents of this letter are Viry and uninteresting, your readers must attribute it to the fact that 1 liave just left “the Dentist’s chair.” Yes, 1 have enjoyed the luxury of a -tooth-pulling. It took me a long time to be convinced that it was a Fsaxury. In fact I didn't so decide un til my unruly masticator was safely deposited on the dentist’s table. Then 1 felt like shouting for joy and treating the whole crowd to—soda water. If Dr. Winkler had then signi fied his intention of running for Gov- ♦.imor of Georgia, 1 would have offer ed him my support in preference to either Racon or Gordon. Tell Harry tj'ark that if he has any political as- jKrations, to make a note of his old teachers remar' can get on very well without the S. P. 0. A. Houghton A WORD TO THE PARTY. In this campaign The Chroncle does not intend to say anything that will tend to inflame the public mind. While advocating the claims of Major Bacon, The Chronicle will not indulge in anv unjust or unfair charges against Gen. Gordon. It is most desirable that there should not be a campaign of detraction and slander, and the supporters of Major Bacon and Gen. Gordon should by all means avoid precipitating upon the State a heated and bitter contest. There should be a fair and full expression the will of the people, and all true Democrats should abide in good faith the voice of the majority, honestly expressed by the usual methods heretofore employ ed by the party. rri.a record of the candidates Among our Exchanges.

We have i i’wdiv I made last either to misconstrue or u iRiesdav. Ihe Brigade presented a | mrulernn the motives of a Kuidsome appearance as it marched through our streets. There were i u/elve companies in line, each dressed hj s diiferent uniform. The most attractive uniform was that of Pioneer Hook and Ladder Oowpany, Each man was dressed in ihe Mikado style, carrying a huge Japanese umbrella over his head. The . vest crowds gathered along the line of march impressed with the idea that this would be the last parade and con test of the Augusta Volunteer depart ment. It is thought that long before • ext May the city will have a paid de- £ artmont, smaller, but more com pact. The contest between the reels -took place on Broad Street, between 8th and 9th, and was the same as in former years. The reel contest and foot race were each won by Alert No. V; On account of the illness of Mr. Gordon Harper the engine contest ■ was transferred to Dublin, and was won by the Georgia, which threw a stream of water 293 feet. 'During rim day it was widely circu lated that 31 aj. Bacon, one of the can didates for Governor, was in to >vn, -••iid that he would address the people ' ' Augusta at night. The fact of his 5 re.sence was publicly announced by Evening News, which paper sug gested the propriety of Maj. Bacon opening tin* campaign right in our midst. At night a large crowd gath ered in front of the Centra] Hotel to Bear this illustrious Georgian. After serenade by the Tenille Band, loud caps were made for Bacon. Mayor M^y appeared on the balcony and an nounced that Maj. Bacon woidd ad dress the citizens from the Firemen's platform in the street. Maj. Bacon has a strong hold upon the voters of Richmond county, and ^ ' t:| t‘of her ablest sons are working fer him. No county did more to re- vi ard the gallant Gordon for his past services than did old Richmond.

As Democrats, it is unfair and unpatriotic to place ourselves in a position where we can not cheerfully support the successful candidate. If there ever was a time when tne party should be faithful in the observ ance of the grand motto of our (State, that time is the present. The press of Georgia should be true to its mission, and counsel “wisdom, justice and mod eration” on the part of all the people. No words should be spoken or written arid no acts should be done by the ad vocates of any of the candidates which would prevent the nominee of the Convention from receiving the united support of the Democratic party.—Augusta Chronicle.

For some reason best known to them selves, they are in the habit of ignor ing one of the largest schools in Au gusta. Aes, the largest—a school of 'j-50 pupils. This school happens not to be under the County 'Board. May be, after all, the members of this So- let y desire to instil tlieir principles of kindness to animals into a select few. J here was a certain fund left by Miss “Gig, I am told, for the purpose of giving out prizes among all the schools of Augusta for the best essay on animals. If this be so, it strikes me that d is an act of injustice to Gen. Gordon in his letter to Major Bacon very fairly says lie does not want to become the candidate of tlie Democratic party of Georgia for Gov ernor, except by the will of the Demo cratic people of < Georgia. This is right and this is proper. But the primary election plan which the Constitution is so suddenly in love with and which Gen. Gordon’s managers suggested to him as a smart trick, will not coniine tlu* vote to the Democrats. A prima ry election is an open election by pre cincts, and those not Democrats abuse the occasion. This leads to ill will and strife and discontent, and the counties which have once tried it do not wish to attempt the plan again. We be lieve in party unity and party purity apd party organization.
