GEN DocKERY AND FREE SUFFRAGE.

nEN COOKERY AND FREE SUFFRAGE
We learn from friends who heard Gent ockery at
smitheld that he claimed the credit of having given
the first long, big, and dsaoy IicI for Free Stt:
rage in the State Contention Of 1885, sohes eOoted
to qiee the election of Gocernor to the people That
is what Gen Dockery calls Free Suffrage and this
is the style in which he is attempting to deceive and
mislead. the people.
The truth is, we believe, Mr.. Macon was the only
member of the Convention of 1885 who spoke at all
on the subject of Free Suffrage. That body was
limited and Free Suffrage not among the objects
to effect which it was called. Gen. Dockery made
some remarks and motion in that Convention +; but
he said nothing in favor of Free Suffrage Why was
he silent One of the originators of the measure,
as he claims, hoo does it happen that has roice
eneuer publicly raised for 1T before has Snaathfed
speech?
But what will our readers--what will honest men
IF all parties think, when we inform them that on
the motion in the Convention of 1885, to extend to
the people the right to vote for Governor GEN.
DocKERY DID NOT VOTE AT ALL! Page $40 of the
Debates of the Convention will show that the Con-
yenon passed by vote of "a to A the present pro-
vision in the Constitution extending this privilege to
the people; and the yeas and nays, there recorded,
will show that Gen. Dockery DoDGED THE QUESTION!
did not vote at all and We. he declared as
derstand, in his speech at Smithield that ne gave
Free Suffrage its first long, big, and heavy lick
in that Convention, when he voted to give the cleo
ton of Governor to the people " hat explanation
has the gentleman to offer? What can his partizans
say for him? We call upon them to look to the
cord and tell the people the truth about the matter
~ We learn that Gen. Dockerya stated, in sub
stance Turing the last Presidential campaign that
the position of Mr.. Clingman in relation to Gen.
Scott was so doubtful that no one in Washington
knew what it was. The inference to be drawn from
this statement if that was not its object was that
of Assembly before he decided on his course. We
learn this declaration of Gen. Dockery repeated
to Mr. Clingman by Todd r. Caldwell Esq, where
upon he, Mr. Clingman, pronounced it false and
authorized Mr.. Caldwell so to inform Gen. Dockery.
Why has not Gen. Dockery made good or withdrawn
the charge?
The fact is the position of Mr.. Clngman we'll
known, he having, very soon after the nomination
of Gen. Scott proposed to Mr.. Outlaw and Mr.. Cald
well to join him in making public, their
names, their opposition to Gen. Scott.
Gen. Dockery has been and is most hostile to Mr..
Cngman and would lose opportunity that might
present ITSELF if elected Governor to njure political
ly that distinguished and gallant advocate of State
rights Nor is this matter for surprise, for Gen.
crate and fixed that he can see nothing commenda

ern rights.
