Lester’s friends are getting
very anxious to know what is his
platform, as they are of course
unwilling to send him to congress
on his past record. Some of them
have been receiving the Consti
tution, and the Journo!, and
-with a careful perusal of both
these favorite organs, they have
found no published account of
the resolution adopted by the
King-gold Ring; and they say
(leorge will run a “mighty slow
race on his past record.” The
people of the Seventh district are
well pleased with l>r. Felton’s
past record, and he pledges him
self to be by the same
in the future. Now we think
someone, had better “close up”
and fix a platform of some kind
for Lester. Cant Mr. Moss (one
who knows) of Smyrna, produce
one ; blit if lie fails to bring it
forward, we shall solicit the edi
tors of the Atlanta Constitution
to manufacture one for publica
tion in the Marietta Journal.

Not far from the 20th district
court ground in Baubling county,
a young Feltonite was bantered
to a discussion as to the merits of
the two candidates. This banter
came from a Lester man, when he
was taken up by the Feltonite
and lashed into an acknowledg
ment that the record of Lester
was corrupt, and these thingsdis.
honest for public man, but that
he should support him, being the
regular nominee, After the dis.
cession a vote was taken, and by
counting the speaker, there were
two for Lester ami 20 for Felton.
Small meeting, but it shows ttie*
course of the wind.

TilK PIKLDAXU KIRESIDE—MARIETTA, (UA.) THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, |S7S
The bellowing of the yearling
club at Acwiirth hits made Felton
many friends. We know of many
over here who were Dabney men
that are now for Felton, and some
say they will not vote at all.

We have had a week of rain,
causing some of us to lose some
bidder, but whilst we have lost
fodder, we have gained in cotton
and potatoes.
Polities are t| uiet. about Imre,
but we find a great deal of it in
what we read in the Lester organs.
They remind us of the time when
Bulloch was governor, The or
ganized party then cried out that
"Bulloch and his thieves were
stealing the State's money, but if
the voters will elect the organ
jzed democrats, and give them
the rein* of government, this
stealing will tie stopped,and they
will retrench." Well, the people
stuck to the organized and elect
ed a governor and legislature of
Ofgiii democrats, and what
have they done ( VVe say, a great
deal. Bulloch made us pay sixty
five cents tax on a hundred dol
lars; but the organized have ap
propriated our money in so many
useless ways t|pi| f/iejj make us
pay ninety live cents op t||e Imn
tired do)law, This la their kind
of retrenchment. Whenever any
of this kind of democrats steals
the people’s money, oh ! nothing
must be said about it. Now, the
same cry is rajspdi “0! stick to
organized democrats—they will
carry you through safe.” We say
to destruction. The ring masters
need not t||i|)k they can hoodwink
us any more. The people of this
land are determined to have a
form of government where the
sovereign power lies in the pen
pie. We are democrats and friends
to popular government.
The i,ewter organs boast of this
county being so strong for Lester,
if so. where does the Lester men
get their grinding done? Every
miller says that his customers are
three for Felton to one for Lester.
And how is it, that Felton men
work all the roads, dean tip the
cemeteries, etc. Hoxk.
That Letter.
The ('mirier of yesterday says:
“For want of something sub
Stautial ou which to get up a sett
satiou some of the Feltonites have
been Irving to find a thing that
never had existence, ami have
asserted that Judge Lester wrote
a powerful bad letter to (lover
nor Bullock just before Bullock
ipiit the gubernationa] chair. We
have made inquiries about it, and
are thoroughly satisfied that
there is nothing in il ; and any
letter Judge Lester ever wrote
might he published without de
triment to the democracy or to
Jttdge Lester personalty."
Now, all we have to say is this,
George N. Lester did write a let
ter to Bullock, the day Bullock
ran away. The letter was left in
possession of Gov. Colquitt by
Gov. Smith when the latter turn
ed over the executive office to
Colquitt, The letter is said l*> Ite
damaging to Lester, and report
has it, that its ilestruction was
advised. The letter cannot now
be found, high nor low. If there
was nothing wrong about it, why
not publish it ? Why was it spil
led away ? These are questions
sensible men will want to know
before they are satisfied there is
nothing in “that letter." —Howe

Three witnesses were beard be
fore the Congressional Labor
committee yesterday. One was
C. W. Elliot, a Nebraska farm
er, who dated that machines and
steam had prod need more than
tile world could consume, and
the use of machinery had drawn
too many people to tin* cities,on
twelve per rent, ul the pnpii
tat ion being engaged in tilling
the soil. John Roach, the ship
builder, ditlered with this witness.
He thought the laboring man bad
been benefited by machinery.

\\ liile in Washington in June
Col. E. P. Howell, editor in Chief
of the Atlanta Constitution,
wrote hack to his paper. On (he
lfitli of June he wrote an inter
esting letjter giving much infer
illation, gathered from actual ob
servatiim. Under the sub head
of “The Georgia Nine," after com
plimeiiting Mr. Ilartridgc, lie
said :
"Col. Smith, and I might add
Hu* balfnicp of Hu* nine will
stand for congress in (lie full e
leetions. They urcgpul men, and
it will lie a hard matter to im
prove on them as a body. Dr.

And now this same editor is
doing all in hin power to get the
people of I||F aPYWIItIt (|js|.|'ie| to
repudiate Dr. Felton, who was
working for them with so intieli
“vim and earnestness."
