Congressional Executive Com
mittee.
Spring Place, Ga., June 2nd. 1890.
The executive committee of the Sev
enth congressional district is hereby
requested to meet at the Lewis Home,
in the city of Dalton,at 12 in., on Sat
urday the 14th inst. A full atten
dance is desired. J. A. McKamy,
Chairman.
To the Patrloctic.
Whitfield county will make a com
petitive exhibit at the Piedmont Expo
sition in Atlanta, next October.
To do this to the best advantage
every - good farmer and gardner in the
county should make some spec ai ef
fort to produce something exceptiona
ble good, and to be on the lookout now
for anything unusually large or freaky
in nature, and to take special care in
preserving it.
Nicely cured bundles of tall grass’
fine grain, corn stalks, in fact, any
kind of vegetation, comes in nicely.
Bales of special kinds of grasses are
most dirable. Let every good farmer
try to furnish something.
All who are disposed to do this for
pride of their county, will please noti
fy 11. A. Wrench, at this office of such
purpose.
The action of the Alliance conven
tion at Rome, as reported in another
column, has intensified the issue be
tween it and Congressman Clements.
Mr. Cjeiuents was also at Rome and
defended bis position of hostility to
the demands of the Alliance.
This makes an issue between the
standing candidate and his constitu
ency, from which the Alliance must
cither back down, or defeat the nomi
nation of Clements.
The issue is squarely made, and no
gap left down whereby it may bo avoi
ded. Nothing is left but an open fight.
To question either the right or poli
cy of the farmers in Northwest Geor
gia righting a grievance between them
and a candidate, is to assert the au
thority of the candidate over the body
of his party.
The concrete issue between the far
mers and Congress is simply this : The
tendency of legislation is to heap ben
efits upon organized capital which
are hurtful to agriculture, the largest
represeneatiye industrial class of the
country, the basis of all industries, and
the great conserving force of our re
publican institutions. These wrongs
are so weakening the larger class that
they are dominated by the smaller class,
and are rapidly becoming mortgaged
to the few. The farmers, forced to or
ganization, timidly suggest a method
of relief, to the plan of which they are
not fixedly attached—but to the prin
cipal of which, founded upon a the try
which lias become an undisputed poli
cy of the government, they insist.
Mr. Clements, the agent of these far
mers, makes answer to these demands,
setting judgment against them, and
not only ridicules their plan ; but de
nounces the principle of the farmer
s Miking class legislation, which can
not by the same plan be afforded to
o*her classes. Is Mr. Clements a free
trader? But, whether he be or not, he
is only asked to claim for his own con
stituency privileges accorded to other
classes, and which he cannot stop.
What the farmers want, is a candi
date equal to the emergency. Georgia
Democrats need no lectures on fixed
party principles, or party fealty. They
want relief —present and positive.
The Savannah Times asserts a posi
tive knowledge that a combination has
been formed to prevent the lease of the
State road. Well, what then?

The subjoined letter was read at the
request of the chairman :
“Atlanta, Ga., March 13, 1890.
Hon. R. L. Berner, Chairman Demo
cratic State Executive Committe, For
syth, Ga. — Dear Sir: We ask that the
inclosed request be duly considered by
your body. We ask this in no idle,
meddlesome spirit, but for the purpose
of giving the people an opportunity of
expressing their preference in the most
general manner, at a time when the
farm operations will not be interfered
with, and also for the purpose of afford
ing them all ample opportunity of
weighing men and measures.
Very truly yours,
Felix Corput,
Chairman Ex. Com. S. A.
The inclosure wasthe following reso
tion in favor of early primaries, pas
sed some weeks ago by the Alliance:
“Wheras, We deem it advisable to
afford the people an ample opportuni
ty to consider men and measures, and
to give them facilities for a full and
free expression of their perferences,
and this, at such time, as will in the
least, interfere with the duties of the
farmer; therefore,
“Resolved, That we most respectful
ly request the Executive Committee
<>f the respective political parties in
Georgia to order or recommend that
nominations be made by primaries in
all countias where nominations are |
are to be had, and the same extend to
militia districts in the counties, and
the day fixed for the nominations of
both Ilouses of the Legislature and
State officers, and Congressmen be de
ferred to the latest possible day, not
sooner than Aug. 1.

This resolution received the unani-
mous indorsment of the committee ;
Resolved, That, realizing the neces
sity for an economical administration
of our government, State and Federal,
the equ ilization and reduction of the
burdens of taxation,ami the threaten
ing attitude of the Republican party to
Southern prosperity, constitutional
government and American freedom, a
party which foster trusts, devised our
bad fical system and outlawed silver by
an unwise contraction of the currency,
reduced agricultural and financial in
dnstries to the verge of bankruptcy, we
therfore deem the success of the Dem
ocratic party and the triumph of its
principles essential to the weal of tho
whole country, and, with abiding con- I
fidence in the patriotism of our people, 1
we call upon all to unite and thwart,
all efforts of the Republican leaders to
distract our counsels and divide our
party.

nouncod the alliance to be purely Dem
ocratic and in no danager of straying |
after false gods.

The Alliance Convention in Rome.
The Floyd count}’ Alliance, with rep
resentatiues from each of the other
counties in the seventh congressional
District, met at Rome, WednesJay, to
discuss the positou of congressman
Clements to-ward the demands of ths
Alliance. The following is the address
of President Corput,and the resolutions
endorsed:
Brethren :—This meeting has been
called by authority extended me as
county president, under section 2, ar
ticle 2 of the constitution governing
county alliances.
It has been called for the purpose of
reveiwing the political situation,to pass
upon the action of our immediate rep
resentative in the Congress of the Uni
ted and to receive, web?h and
digest his'reply to your resolutions, to
council together as to the future course
to pursue in regard to our county, c0n

gressional and State officers and repre
sentatives. To either surrender our
demands or devise means by which
they will de recognized, to further ce
ment the bon Is that.holds us together
and for the purpose of a more thorough
understanding and perfect organiza
tion ; so that should we see fit to en
force our demands, we may, acting as
one man, with one aim, and one pur
pose, accomplish by unity, pluck and
energy that which seems to be other
wise denied us. We have tried reason, I
have advocated the justice of our cause
and appealed to unbiased judgment,
hut these conservative means have
failed us. We have “asked for bread
and a stone has been given us.” Have
asked for action and relief, and advice
and promises have been given us. We
must now recognize that the means
heretofore employed Imve been fruit
less and inadequate, and that these are
not such as will cause the average poli
cian to obey the mandates of the people.
It is therefore for the purpose of dis
cussing the most available methods
left us t'.at we gathered together.
Let us counbil wisely, and not forget
that while mere representatives of the
forty odd millions of farmer in the
United States —men good and true
who are fretting under adverse legis
lation —there are other material inter
ests that affect alike and which de
mand our most serious consideration.
Wise business legislation equally
distributing the privileges afforded as I
well as the burdens imposed by thegen- I
oral government is needed ; not legisla
tion bred in party caucuses, engender
ing party strife and ignoring the will
of the people, but that which rising
above self, the reward of friends, the
punishment of enemies, or the placing
of personal or political whippers in,
will be conducive of the most good to
the greatest number.
We cannot and must not advocate
the oblivion of party lines or indepen- |
dent movements; far should this be
from our purpose, but recognizing two |
great politcal parties, we should
through party nominations, select and
endorse men large enough ta compre
hend business policies, strong enough
to rise equal to the emergy and fear
lessly acknowledge that they recognize,
first, the God that created the people,
that founded parties, and thirdly, the
political parties.
Broad enough to recognize and en
dorse (when such exists) the merits of
meaures emanating from the opposing
party, discerning enough to separate j
business measures from political poli- [

cies, and re.-p nidit g onlv to party lash
in matters affecting politi “al suprema
cy These qualifications do exist and
men can be found who dare as
sert the right and face the jeers and
rid'culeof those who oppose us. Such
qualifications do exist, but not in pro
fessional political hacks and dema
gogues. It therefore behooves you
to look well before you leap, and hav
ing carefully weighed the measure you
advocate, equally weigh the men you
propose to place on guard to see that
they materialize. Let the Democratic
Alliance of this district (for it is Dem
ocratic) endorse capacity, sagacity and
measures and not men, and the day is
not far distant when all in and out of
the alliance will acknowledge that he
who guides the plow, is equally capa
ble of successfully shaping the destin
ies of a nation.
Your action of to-day. my brethen,
; is one of great moment, not only to you
individually, but to every allianceman
under the sun, whether fie be from the
east, west, north or from out
own southland, the eyes of all are turn
ed to Georgia, who (Georgia like) is
first to assert her rights. Let not those
I who look upon her be disappointed. Let
conservatism govern your councils, but
having selected your line of policy do
not allow yourself by any reason, for
any consideration, or under any cir
cumstances swerved from your con
victions or deterred from asserting
your rights.
If you should see fit to present men
from our organization as your stand
ard bearers in the approaching Demo
cratic convention, let it bu understood
they are to be the choice of the major
ity. Let this choice be made in accor
dance with your best judgment. Let
the minority fall into line, allowing
neither heart burnings or the recollec-
tiona of disappointed a nbition to come
between them and duty. Rise above
self, my brothers, and use that power
and itrengtb, which combined efforts
andsincerityof interests havegiven you
for the general good.
Be cautious how you listen to and
believe the poisonous, insiduos charges
that may be made against the men you
select as leaders, bear in mind that the
shrewd, wary politician understand”
full well that it costs less to divide the
people op the merits and equity of any
question than to combat it with prin
ciple, mind and argument and that for
self-perpetuation in ollicc, he is ever
: ready Jo use Plutocracy’s great scheme
to divide and destroy. Do this, but
this, stand shoulder to shoulder in per
fect unity,be unqualifiedly true to your
self, and the principles of our order
and all will be well.
Immediately after the conclusion of
this address the following resolution
was ofl cred and passed.
Resolved, That we approve and en
dorse President Corput’s message and
adopt the principles therin enunciated
as the sentiments and declarations of
Flovd countv Alliance.
R'solved, further that a copy of tl o
same be sent for publication to the
Dalton Argus, Courant-American,
Tribune-of-Rome, Atlanta Journal,
Constitution, Southern Alliance Farm
er, Marietta Journal and Alliance Her
ald, and that all other papers in the
congressional district be requested to
copy same.
