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 : er heroic, for it is a certain sort, 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 4|ed fruat*siinilar causes. THE FIELD AND FIRESIDE—MARIETTA, (OA.) THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31. 1878. Typographical and sometimes verbal mistakes will be made in making up a newspaper mostly | from original manuscript from a dozen different writers. Read I ers must sometimes correct for ! themseves. The forthcoming annual re port of the Comptroller General of Georgia will show that the ag gregate value of the property of Georgia was in 1877 $235,659,- 530. In 1878 it will he stated at $226,221,718, a decrease of nine and a half millions. And yet the taxes are as high as ever— Hoora for the “organized” whose exactions know nothing of the losses of the people. Pile it on 1 Increase the offices; keep up the l salaries; lobby away the people's hard earnings ; make hay while the sun shines for the day is com : ing when it will smile its last upon political villainy. A Card. A report having been put in | circulation that I have changed in my purpose of voting for Dr. Felton, permit me to say that I have supported him at his two previous elections and have high | er reasons than ever for support ing him again at the coining \ election. He is able, he is faith ful und liis record is without blemish. I cannot he made to waver in view of the candidates now before the people. Zadoc B. Moon. 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. b'OKUI’NICATKI).] 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. Huckleberry. A<lminiii-ator' Sale.
