CHANGE OF BASE.

But the doctor has changed his
ground since 1874. Then it was the
string" the naughty "ring"-tbat
smothered the voice ofthe people and
would not let it be heard. Now it is
the Convention system,' if | may
judge from the Only speech | have
heard him deliver this year. This is
step forward. At first it was the
"ring" and its unscrupulouS man>
ayers. TO day it is the convention
system and its wire pullers. Next
it will be the democratic party and
its corrupt aiders and debtors. And
last of all, he and his misguided fol-
lowers, separating themselves from
the true sheepfold, will take their fl
nal stand with the goats on the LETT
He will search history in vain for an
exception to this rule. And this fact
would impress upon the young men
of the seventh district. If they de-
sire to enter upon public life, if they
are ambitious to serve their country.
and to restore the government to its
ancient and honest ways, they will
find that this can be done here in the
south only by allyipg themselves
with the democratic party. There
is no other opening presented in the
southern states to the youthful patri>
OTIS or the wise statesmen. The
young men are the hope Of the coun>
try, as the old men are its crown of
glory. But the democratic party is
stronger and more lasting than the
one, and older and wiser than the
other and it will remain here, full of
life and strength, despite the assaults
of foes and the treachery of friends,
long after we all shall have passed
away forever. 1t now holds uudis-
puted sway in every state and in al
most every district in the south, and
the day is fast approaching when
it will regain control of every branch
of the federal government, as we'll as
of most of the states Of the north:
This fact should not be overlooked
by the youthful patriot who is ambl"
tious to serve his country. The
democratic party presents the widest
and noblcst, field for the exercise of
his talents and the qualification of
his ambition. 1t is, besides, the on
ly party for honest men and patriots.
And above all, let it be remembered
by both young and old, that the pubs
lie man who defies its will is sure to
perish.-Cato, IN the atlanta ConSt'~

CLOSING SCENE.

Eve new petitions were filed on Fri

the list would be largely increased

Courts Clerks office was beseiged
from early dawn till 8 o'clock in The

anxions to file petitions for their cli-
ents. The bankruptcy business was
very brisk, also, in Brooklyn and
Washington. In the former city,

DRIFrED PAR AWAY.

DR.. FELTON, in his frat speech in
Marietta, in 1874, avowed to the
people 10 earnest language that his
candidacy was not based on opposi~
ton to the Democratic party, that
he was in "favor of organization and
nominating conventions" and that
he was only fighting Trammell and
the corrupt ring" that compliments
ed him With nomination. And to
entrench himself firmly in the con-
victions of the people that such was
the honest purpose of his candida
cy, he pointed to Judge Lester, who
was in the audience, and said: off
the convention had nominated as
good and pure a man as your honor
able and esteemed fellow>citizen,
Geo. N. Lester, | would have de-
clined to run the race and supported
him." This appeared to have the
impress of truth upon it, and many
good democrats believing in the sim
cerity of his words, believing that be
was in favor OF conventions and
nominations" as avowed, were caught
in the net spread for them and voted
for him on these grounds and none
other. But two elections have em>
boldened the Doctor, and he now in
his campaign speeches, bitterly and
violently abuses the "organized"
democratic party and denounces
conventions and nominations, and
says he will have nothing to do With
either, and over the district he OPP
poses Lester, beslimes his character
and refuses to meet him before
the people in joint discussion, that
he may vindicate his good name and
refute the charges he makes.
Thus to a fair>minded and un>
prejudiced mind, it will be seen that
DIR. FELTON, of 1878, opposes the ut
terances of DR.. FELTON, of 1874. In
other words DR.. FELTON, has receded,
drifted far away from his original
position, and there is no similarity
whatever. Now the question is will
the honest democrats, who went off
after DIR. FELTON, through good in
tentions, follow his syren wooings
further, or patrioticly say that while
he adhered to his first position we
we're with him, but as he has practie
cally abandoned it, we feel under no
further obligations to follow him,
lust for the mere selfish qualification
of keeping him in Office at 8 big
salary. Peace and harmony are de-
sideratums worth more to this peo-
pie than continued strife among fell
low democrats who 10 their war
with one another are doing 80 at the
expense of all the social amenities
and better feelings of the human
heart, with no compromising good
accroing whatever. There must be
cessation sooner or later to this
state of affairs, because it is unnat-
ural, undemocratic and unwise.
We appeal to the democrats OF
Cobb to stand true to Lester, man
who has been true TO you in war and
peace, and whose election will be
