Coi.i miuv County, Ga., June 8. | Editors
Chronicle. ] Upon perusal of the Atlanta
('oiiHtitiition i>i (In- sth instant. I llndneom
niuideation from Mr. Geo. \\. (irav, and embus
ed by Messrs. B E. Neal, Jas. L. Clanton, D,
M. Holselibaki’, llioh. H. Paschal, K. I.
Florence, B. E. Pearre. A. J. A vary, Jr., Wave
| Ballard, \V. L. Bruton, mid C. B. Avar), giving
J such a version of the lute mass meeting in this
( count) as would liuvc n tendency to mislead
the public in ragurd to the true facts. Mr.
I Gray says first:
“Appling, Ga., .Bine 3. Editors Consti
tutioii: I have attended nearly all tin pnhtical
j meetings tn id havc been held in this county
i for the last twenty-live years, ami have never
■ seen such action as was taken at the one on the
i Ist instant, that elected Bacon delegates to the
Gubernatorial Convention."
If Mr. Gray ineans that said “ac ion” was
I not in nci’otdance with the part) pre rcdcnl, or
I was unfair in any respect, or mi outrage or
anything else hut fair, then I think my fin nd
Gray is mistaken, nml before I get through
I witli this communication I am satisfied the
I public will be convinced I am right. The
second think spokt n of is tin- notice of Mr. J.
Q. Npires, calling the meeting. Here it is:
“Drnioeratic meeting.
“The Jlcmocralic party of Columbia county
; arc roqu<*st.ed to meet nt Appling on the first
! Tuesday in June.
“'Flic Executive Committee are cspcebilly
requested to be present, as vacancies are to
be filled mid other husim ss of importanee
transacted.
“J. Q. Spihek. Secretary."
Now, what is a pioper construction of this
notice ? Mr. Gray says:
“Th<* suppoiiers of Gen. Gordon thought
that it was called merely to elect a now
Executive < ommittco, they to organize and
elect tin ir Chairman, and then the committe
would appoint the time ami manner of select
ing <lel< gates to the several conventions. After
the committee was organized a resolution was
offered that the moding pi*oce«*<| to elect
delegates to the Gubernatorial ami Congrcssio
mil < onvcntimis. Tin* < iordon men opposed this,
and contended that it could not be done at
that mc«"ting, as no notice of such action had
been given.”
I say (and all the Bacon nu n say) firn proper
construction to put upon it was: That tin
Democratic part) of Columbia conntv shall
meet at Appling <in the Ist 'j iicsflay in Jum- to
transact any l-u-imss it may sei proper. If
such is not the construction, then w< must
stick to the letter of tin-notice, which would
confine the mass meeting to tin- filling of
va<*anci< sin tin* Executive c ommittee. Now. J
proj'osn to submit tads which will prove, if
the first of my (’-oiiMtrilctions be true, tln-n Mr.
Gray’s grievance goes tn the ground. If the
latter bo true, then Mr. Gray, his coadjutors,
and the Gordon party ar< as guiltv of any
malfeasane<* as th'- Bacon party- Ami now to
I mv first construction: 'rhe mass im < ting,
when it did assemble, was sovereign, ami
, could perform anv ad itself that tin Executive
i i ’omrnitto< could be authorized by the body to
| perform. The mass-meeting waa the creator,
1 the Executive Commitb » the creature.
But this is not all. The public both at home
and abroad did put this construction upon the
notice the Bacon para-rs, tin Gordon papers,
Gen. (iordon himself, a communication in our
home paper, the Harlem Si njinei. appearing
at the Baine time with tin- notice is in these
words:
