GEoEGIx POLITICS.

C0l Everett deciiaes TO enter into joint
discussion with DR.. FELTON, in the Seventh
district.
Editor Gunn, of the Cutbbert Liberal
Enterprise, noolinGtes Mr.. Norwood for the
Senate, and refers TO the gentleman's past
services in terms Of liberal praise.
Albany Ne,OS and Advertiser: A few
editors OF the state are now waiing: 1--WE
are not hero worshipersl" They seem 10
the carpet-bagger and scallawag.
Griffin Call: The suggestion of a joint
debate between Gov Gordon and Hon.
Thomas NJ Norwood on the sub-treasury
plan is good one. a debate of that kind
would bring out all there is to be said for
and against the plan. It ia to be hoped the
suggestion will be acted upon.
Gov. Gordon spoke at Decatur Saturday
In referring TO Col. Norwood the governor
said: He says he greatly prefers private life,
but McCune sends orders to the First district
that the alllancemen-tBe free alliancemen
OF Georgia, must elect Norwood to congress
These orders we're sent to Rufus e. Lester.
who has them in his POCKET To- day. [Cheers
Mr.. Norwood prefers private life. He en-
Joyed private life from 1861 to 1865, when
he had a long spell of sore eyes" The meet
ing adopted resolutions indorsing Gov. Cor
don for senator.
Mr.. Norwood, says the Albany Ne1s and
advertiser, during his residence in
Georgia, claims Savannah fer his home,
and Savannah is in the county OF Chatham,
one of the counties comprising the First
Senatorial district. The convention for
that district met on Sept s. at Guvton,
E6ingham county, to nominate a candidate
for senator to represent the district in the
next general assembly, aud after perform
ing that duty resolution was introduced
indorsing Gov. Gordon for the position of
United States senator, and was enthusiastic
ally adopted. II Hon. Tommie can't arouse
any more enthusiasm than that at his own
home, he had better retire from the race at
once.
Waynesboro True Citizen: Up to date
a very large number of counties aud sena-
torial districts have instructed their nomi-
nees to vote for Gov. Gordon for the Sem
ate. Our neighboring county Of Screven
has been the first to break the rule. She
lnstructs for Norwood, a man who had
| abandoned his state, and only returned
when DR.. McCune encouraged him to
come back, and try, try, again-for
office. But MIR. Livingston's home organ
says that Mr.. Norwood was just little too
previous; that he might have tarried a
| while longer in Washington. High offices
like this one don't go Alleging in Georgia,
| and absentees will not stand the ghost Of a
cnance. Dr. Macune should have consulted
President Livingston before he made Mr..
Norwood pull up his stakes and strike his
tent.
Brunswick Times: Said Col. C. P. Good
year Saturday in the course of a CONVERSE
| ton about Gov. Gordon: "When he was
running for governor l opposed him and
supported Maj. Bacon-of course, as o re-
publican, without party and without a
candidate, | have watched Gordon's course
as governor with unfeigned admiration. He
has been conservative, manly, aud in all of
his utterauces patriotic have never heard
of any but moderate and patriotic counsels
from him, with TIE exception of the
charges against him as to the boycott,
which, when explained, showed him
patriotic in this as in all things.
But, when see papers attacking him upon
the idea that he is being run because he was
an able and brave man in the ar, and
bears the honorable scars of that conflict,
and saying that these fellows must not
count upon eiecting him upon such basis,
l remember that be is but few years older
than l am; that he fought as he was edu-
Gated; that he was hurt in that struggle, as
was, if on the opposite side; that it ought,
at least, to count in his favor that he was
where he could be hit. He illustrated
American herosm as much as if he had
been on the other side"
