expressly to “lieat Felton.” The cliair
inaii of that ooioioittee declared with
ail possible eio|iliasis ilial “Felton hail
no earthly ohanee before that eonven
tion”—they organized to beat him ami
left no means untried to do it.
Yon will remember in 187t>, Hr. Fel

Governor's election to enilorse either
Felton or Dabney on their tickets, anil
lie wonltl abiile the result.
The "Organized" hooteil at the iilea
—they ilenoiinoeil it as a Itaiiical tri<‘k.
They fairly tip-tocil in tin* excess of
their indignation, like the Augusta
<'nnosii'i kon Mr. Stephens’ telegram,
they proclaimed it ‘a gratuitous insult.’
They charged Or. Felton with being a
Republican—they charged attlliation
with Republicans, all over the District.
You have not forgotten the Goodwin—
Hargrove letter?—livery insult was
heaped upon Felton and his friends.
Now sec the change?—Yesterday
Col. .1. R. Itrown attacked Dr. Felton
as an “ ultra Democrat.” He attacked
his vote to pension Gen. Shields—his
vote with the committee to seat Goode
of \ ii. Dr. Felton is too good a demo
crat to suit the organized democratic
party. He thus attacks the w hole dem
ocratic party in congress.
The delegates from Bartow to Ring
gold carried up four colored men. anil
paid their way—although they made
them go. al'e, niiihl. They told these
men they wen* delegates, but there is
no record of their appointment in the
published county meeting. They do not
appear as votes at Ringgold, tint I’m told
thev took them there on the floor of the
convention to make them believe it.
The fourth was jailed for drunken
ness. It was a great crime in Dr. Fel
ton to send a colored man at Ringgold
a hook. 11! consistency, thou art a
Jew cl!
Col. 1.. X. Trammell, in the first Dal
ton meeting to send delegates to Ring
gold, made a disgraceful attack on Dr.
Felton's father—(the old man died 'ev
en or eight year.- ago. Why did not
Col. Trammell make that attack four
years ago? This scandalous charge was
never heard of by his nearest neighbors,
and liis bitterest foe never dared to
name it. .fudge Fester uiudca distinct
allusion to Col. Trammell's charge in
bis Dalton speech. They arc in tin* same
category, lie Fester' also made an in
sinuating charge on Dr. Felton at Ma
rietta. If he had the courage to make
it. why not sustain and prove it?
In two heated lanipaigns. Dr. Felton
never attacked the domestic . haracter
of any man. woman or child, nor did a
newspaper friendly to him do so. He
will x>:vicKdo it. It is too low a game
for an honorable politician.
Dr. l'i'ltniFs otticinl record is open to
legitimate criticism. Hi-acts in Con
gress, or any ivdscconnected w ith Con
gress, are public property. The people
have the right to approve or ciuideuui.
file office-holders are public servants;
their masters, the people, can always
fall them to account.

clerk, to keep t lit* “office door
open," and sat down to wait the com

his foreign tour, which lasted “fourteen
months and a day.” (.fudge Lester
says “the passage of the Immigration
act and the election of Commissioners
under it, developed a very fnnniilohle i, t ,-
position to the scheme, and many who
originally advocated it. and urged it on
the Legislature, changed front and de
nounced it. These Commissioners

A. K. Wright's Opinion.
Will you permit me, Messrs. Editors,
first to pay The Constitution a compli
ment by saying it is an admirable news
paper. Georgians may be proud of it.
In tin* late exciting war between Russia
and Turkey and its corollary, the Ber
lin congress, its columns of foreign
new' summary was not surpassed by
any paper in the south: I really prefer
red it to the New York Herald. Its par
agraphic column is always readable,
sometimes brilliantly witty. It is es
pecially smart upon our .lolin Sherman.
Its resume of home and general news
is of items always interesting, and w itb
on* further comment its general make
up is an honor to the state.
But as our beloved brother Paul mice
wrote to certain brethren, in your at
tack upon the independents of the state,
and especially of tin* seventh congres
sional district, “I praise you not.”
I do not profess to he one of “the lead
ers” of the seventh, but I am an bumble
“hanger on,” and pretty w ell conver
sant with the people of said seventh,
and when you charge any intrigue up
on these people with Mr. Hayes’s ad
ministration. permit me to say you arc
mistaken, wholly mistaken. We in* no
intriguers with anybody. What “some
prominent democrat,” “so called," in
Atlanta may have written, we do not
know. “God made the people in that
great city upright, hut they have
wrought out many inventions.” In fact
from the days of Bullock down to the
present time, it has been supposed by
some simple minded people to lie the
