NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC TICKET,
FOR PRESIDENT,
Gen. W. S. Hancock,
OF PENNSYLVANIA.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
W. H. English,
OF INDIANA.
FOR GOVERNOR,
Hon. Rufus E. Lester,
OF CHATHAM COUNTY.
Monday, July 19, 1880.
To the Point.
A number of citizens of Atlanta ad¬
dressed a note to Hon. M. A. Candler,
asking him to address the people on
the issues of the day. He writes the
following letter, and we publish it be¬
cause the principles announced are
worthy of consideration, and the facts
food for reflection.
As we have said in the past, an ad¬
ministration that needs vindication
through a renomination, must be
weak in a greater or less degree. Mr.
Candler puts the question in the right
light. We give his letter :
Atlanta, July 13.—Messrs. C. L.
Red wine, Welborn Bray, George W.
Adair, and others—Gentlemen: Your
favor of the 10th instant; asking me to
address the people at Atlanta on the
political issues now before the public,
is in my hands.
If I thought by complying with your
request, I could in any way assist
the public mind in rightly with passing
upon these issues I would pleas¬
ure do so. Happily, upon the issues
presented in the national canvass, the
people of our immediate section are
with much unanimity agreed. national Dem¬
The candidates of the
ocratic party, eminent for the purity
of their for lives and especially and distin¬ tried
guished their consistent
fidelity to constitutional free govern¬
ment, standing upon a platform of
principles, alive with the inspiration
of the Constitution, and honest, faithful
administration of the law, roeoive the
enthusiastic support of the South.
In Georgia, how and by whom the
administration of State affairs shall be
conducted are questions upon which
people widely differ.
These differences are not of recent
origin. They have existed for more
than a half score years, they are wide
and seem irreconcilable.
There are those who think, as com¬
pensation for distinguished service in
the past, the public owe them a sup¬
port, and the government has for its
primary object that support. The
peoplo who Lava not aspired to Aud
do not occupy official station, who have
in the management of their private
affairs secured for themselves a living,
and have not defaulted in the per¬
formance of trusts confided to them,
havo thought that government was in¬
stituted for the good of all the people ;
that its officers were their servants,
aud, as such, amenablo to them.
This is the doctrine of the Constitution.
The first class, administering the
government, however honest their mo¬
tives, haltingly perform every duty im¬
posed by law, and its discharge is only
accomplished when personal benefit is
in sight. The public good is only the
secondary, if not the accidental re¬
sult.
Since January, 1877, the peoplo have
been the neglected subject of this soi l
of administration.
Coming . . the popular
into power upon
acclaim of “economy and reform,” the
lsfied people with are the now iuaugural commanded promise to be aud eat- 1
the frugality and reforms established j
by themselves in the convention of |
1S77, under complaiuis of the admin¬ >
istration and iu spite of its opposi¬
tion
With unblushing brassiness, sound,
'public claimed, credit and lightened taxation are
as the fruits of its own patri
otic.efforts, in face of the fact that the
-records of the State fail in evidence of
an executive recommendation or act
tending to this result, while everywhere
in Convention, Legislature and courts
are the reproofs of the people lor dcie-
liction of duty and violation of law.
Much of the legislation of 1878 and
1879, after investigation by the people’s
representatives, was for the security of
the public money from the personal of use the
of State officers, the protection
citizen from their extortion and the
Governor from the corrupting influence
of his subordinates.
To extraordinary this unexampled spectacle history is of added the
the
Governor of the State, elsewhere, ex¬
cept in the place of official duty,
haranguing his the people in defense of
assailed administration, and piteous*
ly begging vindication of an honest
leadership name and good profession, in the
retention of a another political Gubernatorial party and his
for
term.
Vindication is neither the policy nor
the duty of political parties. To this
work, the organization has no right to
put its members, the effort to do so
tends to its disruption. No party is
strong enough to carry an impeached
administration, however unjust that
impeachment may be.
In battle and in race, the wounded
and the halt are left behind, for the
care of non-combatants and the pro¬
tection of the hospital. Health and
strength for them is not found, where
truth and right struggle for supremacy
and honeBt government needs defen¬
ders.
If the Democratic party in Georgia
shall aim at nothing more than to give
good government to the people, let
charity do its perfect work in taking
care of the weak and worn, and put
its standard in the hands of the strong,
the brave and the honest, and it will
deserve and receive the support of a
virtuous people, will live to fight many
more battles and rejoice in seeing protected jus¬
tice established, prosperity
and the happiness of the citizen secure.
Very respectfully, your obedient ser¬
vant, Milton A. Candler.
An Honest Announcement.
Col. Jas. H.Spense, of Camilla, Mit¬
chell county, announces himself as an
independent candidate for Congress
from the Second district. We take
from the Albany News, Camilla depart*
ment of the paper, the following. Col.
S. is original at least, and has argu¬
ment on his side :
Col. James H. Spense, announces
upon our streets that he will run in
dependent for Congress. He said, at
first, he would not run if Turner dele¬
gates were appointed—that it would be
his pleasure to work for Turner; but he
has now overcome that scruple and will
make the race. He is making arrange
ments for his canvass. He says he has
not been embarrassed by the importu¬
nity of friends, but wants to go for the
money that is in it. Again. Col. Spence
says he has found out that p$yty fealty
and fidelity amount to nothing, bqt
rather the road to preferment is more
certain not to be too straight in line.
He refers to the Joe Brown appoint¬
ment as illustrative of hia views. Gov.
Brown was regarded as an irregular,
not in working accord with the Demo¬
crats, and he was promotsd oyer the
heads of all the true and faithful.
Hence, Col. Spence infers from the
strong endorsement of Gov. Colquitt's politi*
appointment that irregularity of
cal conduct is popular. While there
is gum in Mr. Spence's reasoning, yet
we have no idea Gov. Colquitt intend’
ed his appointment as a precedent to
flood the State with independent can¬
didates But we have no strong argu¬
ment to use for faithful organization
against Mr. Spence’s *iew, if the peo¬
ple endorse the appointment .of one
who was not content to be irregular,
but was prominent with the enemy.
Col. Spence says he fears only two of
the names mentioned so far. He says
he is a Colquitt man, a Joe Brown
man, but above all a Jim Spence
man.
Governor Colquitt.
This paper has not advocated the
re-election of Governor Colquitt, but it
regards the Direct Trade Union ex¬
posure as too thin to influence voters.
If the affair has stood for years it looks
somewhat strange that the exposure
should not have been made before half
of the delegates were elected. In addi¬
tion to this Governor Colquitt is not on
trial for his malfeasance with the Direct
Trade Union, but upon his official record
as Governor of Georgia. If this record
is not enough to defeat him he should
be re-elected .—Rome Tribune.
Not at all, as to his re-election, We
hold that four years is long enough for
auy man to be Governor; hence, we op¬
pose Governor Colquitt. We care noth¬
ing about the “vindication” talk. Gov
ernor Troup never askod a vindication,
ami no wim was ever placed in a mono
trying aud responsible position than h e
was. None of our Governors have asked
_
a vindication that we remember. Four
years is loui» enough, we hold,
His Record.
The Hon W. H. Falton has an
uounoed himself a candidate for Oon^
“subject to his record.” Well,
like tnat rather thau otherwise,
if a nun baa a good record it is a
point in his favor—but the
is, the Doctor is like our Gov.
be chooses to a himself,
to the record.— iX>t . 7
Well, who is to decide upon tire
merits of a man's record but the peo
'? How can a ouu t< 3 ’i whether h'
pleases, Unie-Se o. j cij e
the people? Not a caucus, not a ring,
not a convention, but direct before the
people. The people will decide as to
his record, whether it pleases them or
not.
Give us a man with a record, and
let him run upon it, or if has original
ideas, give them to the people and ask
an election. Be direct.
Independent.
Courier Our esteemed "The neighbor, the Rome
; says : truly independ¬
ent candidate speaks his sentiments
right out in meeting. It i3 best for all
that men should be frank in express¬
ing their persona! preferences before,
rather than alter the party selects its
nominees.”
Correct. ‘‘The truly independent can¬
didate,” and it should have added, the
truly independent voter "speaks his
sentiments right oat in meeting.”
That's what the press and the people
should do this year.— Roms Tribune.
Just what the Recorder is doing.
We are educating the people to be not
only "truly independent;” but boldly
and aggressively independent. We
are glad to aunounce that our position
and teachings have had their influence,
and the feeling of personal indepen*'
dence is growing.
Charles Palm served three years un¬
deservedly in the Ohio pe litentiary.
Though innocent of the crime with
which he was charged, that of obtain¬
ing goods under false pretences, he was
so bunglingly defended that the jury
pronounced him guity. The prosecu¬
ting witness swore that the money in
question was $105, all in ten and
twenty dollar bills, and the impossibil¬
ity of the amount beiag so constituted
was not brought out. However, Palm
says he is not sorry, for while working
in prison at shoemaking he invented, a
machine of enough value to support
him during the rest of his life.
The demands of the watch trade in
this country now amount to 3,000
watches a day. Of this number the
large factories of the United States
produce 1,530 a day, as follows: The
Waltham tact >ry, 750; the Elgin, 500.
Spriogfield, 111., 80; Hampden Watch
Company, 90; Howard, 20; Lancaster,
50; Rockford, 40; and lots of them
are produced by smaller establish¬
ments,

Gen. Grant Out of Politics—His Future Move
ments—Cadet i^ittakerV Case.
GEN. GRANT.
Washington, July 10.—-A promi¬
nent Republican politician, who enjoys
the personal friendship of Gen. Grant,
ssid to-day that he was advised that
the latter had made up his mind not to
take in the future any active part in
the politics of the country, but to de¬
vote tfip Remainder of his days to busi¬
ness pursuits. JJe Relieved the state¬
ment telegraphed from balen?. that
Gen. Grant intends to settle up his af¬
fairs and go to New York, where a
lucrative position awaits him, to be
true, as if accords with his own private
information, fa reply to a suggestion
that Gen. Grant might be brought for¬
ward as the Republican nominee for
the Presidency lour years from now,
this gentleman said he had reason to
know that Gen. Grant would never
again allow his name to go before a
political ccoveft^on, but would abstain
from participating in political
contests.
CADET WHITTAKER.
The case of Cadet Whittaker was
brought to-day to Secretary the attention of the Cab:net
by Ramsey. No ac¬
tion was takeu, and the questior of
‘'what shall be done with this snail
elephant” was postponed until dext
week. Whittaker is not without, strong
backing io Republican quarters, md ;
those who are looking after his iite- j
rests here feel very conudent that the
verdict of the court of inquiry as yell j
&e the recommendation of the commmd- j
dant of West Point that he be dropped 1
from the roil of cadets will Dot be ap- j
proved by the president. A nuuoer (
of prominent Republicans have eviiced 1
eo much interest in the case and t.ken !
euch strong ground in favor of Whtta
ker that the President cannot approve
of the action of the military authouties j
j without subjecting himself to rery
sharp ceqsuire from some of his own
political friends. If a ecu** martal is
j granted, His and Whittaker can catanisl
