Go to the polls next week and
unmoved by Kings or ring or
gans, vote as patriots for “Old
Record*’ whose political services
are without spot or blemish.
George N. Lester has been a
temperance lecturer for many
years—after votes, lie is now
for turning whiskey loose and a
general jollification—for votes
from the other side.
Northern men, bond holders,
are among the lessees of the State
Railroad. The Road is being
used freely in the interest of
i Lester. The money of the bond
holders is employed to defeat Dr.
Felton. Are inteligent freemen
to be thus duped ? Not if they
| know themselves and they think
they do.
Our readers w ill see from a pe
rusal of the letter of W. J. Winn,
Esq., that he takes no positive
| side in the present canvass, but,
he is a discerning, inteligent, up
right young man, and possessed
of such excellent qualities, he
cannot uvoid leaning to the peo
ple’s side against rings and po
litical cliques. He is for the free
voice of the people and knows
v*ry well that voice is for Dr.
Felton.
Let the Felton men see that,
they are represented at the bal
lot box. Let them see that there
L no “stuffing of the ballot box—
no dishonest voting. Let us de
mand and assure a fair election.
‘The Hero Lester* —Marietta
filing Organ. Of course, both
outcomes of the “Ring,” the pa
per ought to designate the one
a hero and the candidate the oth

of heroism to call Lester a hero.
The “organized” democracy of
Georgia assumes that we are in
debted tot hut organization for our
political reconstruction in the
Union. It is not so. We are in
debted, however we may lament
it, and with whatever objections
we may have to it, to the repub
lican policy of reconstruction,
and especially to President
Hayes, for the full and complete
restoration of the rights of the
Southern States. The democrat
ic Tilden platform endorsed all
this and that is all the organized
did in its accomplishment.
It is settled beyond controver
cy that Tilden and his friends at
tempted to buy with money , the
electoral vote of Florida and on
ly failed because he was too close
listed to bid high enough. That
is all there is in it. Enough cer
tainly to disgust all honest peo
ple and to make them stand
aghast at the fact that the high
est office of the nation has been
“knocked oil" and bought by the
highest bidder.
Henry Ward Beecher, partly
owing to his brilliant intellect
and partly to his very liberal ec
clesiastical views gets some $25,-
000 per annum from his church.
Mr. Talmage, in New York, less
liberal and not so brilliant gets
only $12,000. “Woe unto you,
hypocrites!’’ While the laborer
is toiling and sweating from Jan
uary to January for the necessi
ties of life, you fare sumptuously
and clothe yourselves in fine lin
en. What is your organization
but a “whited sepulchre" ?.
The Columbus Enquirer has a
genuine philosopher in its edito
rial corps. We admire hishrevi
tv, his accuracy, force and per
ception. “Chance has more to
do with success and failure than
the world knows of.” “Circum
stances oftener make men than
men create circumstances.”—
•Early associations exercise the
the greatest influences.’ Yes,
temperament inherited, and the
conditions of life in which we
are placed, make us as we are in
physical and mental develop
moot, just as the plant is devel

Col. Waddell’s Letter.
We take pleasure in publishing
the following letter of our fellow
citizen, Col. Waddell, to lion. W.
11. Felton :
Doraland, near Marietta \
November 23, 1877. \
My dear Sir —Let me add my
humble voice to the din and tem
pest of applause with which your
masterly resumption
has been greeted® I have read it
with great instruction and infinite
satisfaction. Most heartily do I
thank you for it. lam sure the
sentiments therein uttered, with
so much of spirit, eloquence and
power, are those of seven eighths
of the thinking people of Geor
gia, and of the fair minded all
over the country. More—they
are true , and embody the princi
ples of a far-seeing, sagacious,
honest and manly patriotism.—
When published in pamphlet
form, I should feel obliged for a
copy. Truly yours,
J. D. Waddkll.
Hon. W. 11. Felton, Washington.

To the Field and Fireside :
Col. Branham canvassed Cher
okee county in the interest of
Judge Lester. He has canvassed
other counties in 1874, and 1876
—for the interest of Col. Dabney.
He proposes to be the nominee
in 1880 to represent the Bullock
Democracy of the seventh dis
trict. He says the people of Cher
okee treated him very kindly .
We will show you how he has
treatedby Dr. Felton's supporters.
When the election in Novem
ber 1874, “hung in the balance”
for two or three days, both sides
claimed the victory. Rome held
a Dabney jubilee, Dabney spoke,
Underwood spoke-various others
spoke among them Col. Branham.
This orator spouted a long time
called on the people to ignore
Felton men.—Said “<c e must rut
of Felton men, their wives and
children from decent society . ”
Fifty men will testify they heard
it. That expression beat him for
the legislature in Floyd county,
lie brought up the tail end of the
ticket, and I'll bet a dollar, no
Felton man will ftver support him.
“Cherokee county heaped coals
of fire on the head of an enemy
and he should be made to feel
their opinion of Col. Branham.
Col. Joel Branham proposed
“to cut off Felton men their wives
and children from decent society
in 1874."
He is Lester's pet speaker. He
is the organ of the Joe Brown,
Trammell, Lester, Gordon Ring.
Hear it you Felton men ! This
beautiful specimen of Ring Dem
ocracy proposed “to cut you oil'
i from decent society.” lie desir
. ed to “cut your wives off from de
cent society.”
Your little children must be
made to suffer, according to this J
headlight of Bullock democracy !
“What meat has this Ceasar
fed upon !”
Who made him the arbiter ol
respectability in Rome ? Is he the
i superior of all Rome ? Is he the
most honest—the most capable —
the most upright—the most re
spectable man that Rome affords?
Does he pay the taxes of
Rome ? Is he the Major General
of Lester's respectability ? One
who heard him Say It.
[COMMUNICATED. j
A Rich Scene !!
To the Field and Fireside:
Mr. J. R. Brown has said a
great deal about Mrs. Felton as
i “Wool Hat.” lie and Dowda
i charged her with '•dying and
fraud'' which will have to he set- •
tied' at a later day—mark that!
Mr. J as. R. Brown has some am- ;
bition as a newspaper correspon j
dent. He is much excited in this I
i
race. He wrote a letter to Mr.!
Thrailkill in Murray county, and
sent him “a communication,”
which he expected Mr. Thrailkill
to own as his production, and pub
lish as his own. lie set forth the
I injury that Dr. Felton was doing
| to that immaculate patriot, Gov.
Brown, that incorruptible institu
i timi the State Road—that, purest
of all corporations the State Road
Lease etc.
He left a little black spot to
put Mr. Thrailkill’s name oh, but
it was written in the Colonel’s
most animated style. He had
j studied it as carefully as lie did
j his convention speeches.
Mr. Thrailkill listened to Fel-
I ton on the “Wool Hat” matter
i and at the close handed Felton
I the manuscript to read aloud.
Oh, my Soul, what a scene it
was ! Rich, Rare and racy. The
Murray county farmers are going
to do as “Jeeins” advised, follow
Mr. Thrailkill. Where’s your
[ “Wool Hat ?” Biing him out !
The printing office was not
manipulated this Time !
[ COMMON ICATKD.j
To the Field and Fireside:
1 see a card in the Marietta
Journal from a Mr. Hurt of Paul
ding county. Is this the same
Mr. Hurt that professed to be a
pure radical, and went to Atlanta,
tried and failed to get a position
(even) as doorkeeper, from the
1 Bullock legislature. We suppose
; that is where Mr. Hurt termed
the acquaintance of Judge Les
ter. What will become of us—
as lie will carry at least one twen
tieth part of somebody's vote.—
; lie says his reason for turning o
ver to Lester was, because Dr.
Felton in a speech at Marietta
\ during his first candidacy slightly
i complimented Judge Lester. But
iwe will now excuse the Doctor
j for that, as he was like the bal
] anee of us—he did not then know
all about the railroad lobby, and
, a great many other pages of Geo.
, Lester’s past record, that have
now become public property. If
| Hurt changes again, we hope lie
will be a better democrat.
