EDITOR 7EPcBLIcAN-We went to Savannah ,,
on saturday last to have some fun and, verify,
We mad it. We found, upon our arrival, the
streets thrOp"ed with people. who had assembled
for the purpose Of nominating citizens ticket
without the aid of any Grange intrigue,
cret political chicanery. We noticed many Of
the Grange candidates upon the streets, appar-
emily gazing very seriously into fuIurity, and cv-
iden;ly being of the opinion that. Judging from
appearances, they would not have Is smooth
sailing into the harhor Of political life as thcy
Ind anticipated. The manner of holding the
convention was, to us, at least, a novel one, hut
one which we think shouid be generally adopt
ed Ina convention, conducted after the man
ner of saturday Last, ring would be much ut
II loss as Il ship at sea without sail or compass
Every person in the convention is entitled to
vote, and directly for the nan whom he thinks
is most capable OF performing the duties OF th,,
Office Tor which he l. a candidate.
Latest di-pateS from GrIage headquarters are
TO the effect that We, c"rrc.p .pondent Of the Ri
PtBLICAN. are in the habit OF misrepresenr-
ing and -Ini>taiIn- the inIcnts and purposes ni
head Granger Brayton. II We guilty Of lh:,
charge, We must plead in eNienuatiOn, our entIr"
ignorance of what the gcntlcInaas inicnts ant
purposes might he, excepting far
Ii We have paid and still pay more attention t>
Mr.. Brayion than To- any other man upon the op
position ticket, II IS brcause We are not IN SYM
palhV v lth his cuJT-c IN attempting 10 force upon
The ucIic OF Andrew county ''buck and gag
resolution, that would deprive tht III Of 'heir lib
eTiIt~ ~ free voters.
Especially We opposed to Mr.. BraytOn'S
course when 1t he taken into consideration that
this ''buck and gag resolution was introduced
for the express purpose of packing the cpnvcn
tinn with suppl: tonls, which he could usc /"
gam his own private cnisS.
The article uf Nj PJtrrc proves This fact con-
clsIvey, and amy denial on ile part of the gen
/ tlcman friends, II he has any, would not only
( Ee superilAou~. but would be entirely out of
/ keeping with the precrpts antG teachings OF the

[ from savannah this evening that it has been de
