U'AG PuollC lldy Ue OOCalneQ, and
II such expression is the real pur-
pose which actuates General Cor
don in his advocacy Of primaries,
why did he not adhere to the same
principle, and give the people a
choice to be heard upon the ques-
ton Of his successor in the Sem
ate?
Is the appointment or election
OF Senator of less Importance
than the nomination of party
candidate for Governor? II a
Senator can be elected only by
the representatives Of the people,
chosen in an election in which ev-
cry citizen is afforded an opportu-
nifty, how could General Gordon
resign the Office of Senator, after
having thus been elected, without
consulting the wishes of the peo-
pie, and afterwards maintain that
a party nomination cannot prop
erly be made by delegates to a
convention, chosen by mass meet
ings, assembling in the several
counties, upon due notice from
the executive committees Of the
counties? Is a nomination Of
greater Importance than an cleo
ton, and can any man disregard a
solemn obligation to consult pub
lie wishes with reference to the
results of an election and honest
ly maintain that a nomination is
not fair unless made by delegates
chosen by primaries?
General Gordon's inconsistency
upon this point is SO glaring THAI
it is impossible for any man to
escape the conviction that he is
insincere in his advocacy of pri-
maries. The suspicion will arise
that General Gordon his some
sinister purpose which he is at
tempting to hide under the spe-
cious plea Of giving the people a
chance for full and fair express
sion Of their preference for can
didate for Governor. This sus-
picion is strengthened by the Con-
stitution's unfair treatment OF
Major Bacon's letter on the ques-
tion Of primaries. He did not
express a preference for mass
meetings over primaries nor pri-
maries against mass meetings.
And yet the Constitution, which
is running General Gordon, stead
ily maintains that Bacon is OPP
posed to primaries.
II the people in each county cf
the State, in mass meeting assem-
bled, cannot protect themselves
against the nomination of an un-
worthy man as party candidate
for Governor, how in the name of
reason are they to protect them
selves from beirg misrepresented
by a Senator, whose appointment,
by the action Of one man, aswhen
Gordon resigned, is placed into
the hands Of another, who ap-
points a third? General Gordon
has forced just such a result upon
the people of the State, and by SO
doing placed the Office of Senator
within the control of three men
himself, Governor Colquitt and
Senator Brown.
With this fact and their action
in the case in point fresh IN the
memory of the people of Georgia,
we can assure General Gordon
and the Constitution that human
credulity cannot regard their pres
ent professins as sincere, because
they are inconsistent.
So far as the question of sub
mission to the people is concern
ed, Major Bacon has shown that
he was willing to be bonnd bv
their action, whether this was
through mass meetings or prlma-
ries. General Gordon and the
Constitution, ON the contrary,
are attempting to dictate to them
the modes which they shall en-
ploy in the transactions of their
own business.
