rs TO who shal! represent them In H.
s,a'e senate, especially the farmers ot
th's county. The vote of the frst mi.
mary Indicates what the wish n, t,L,o
la.ilcre were, They were very iibo.
RAJ WIN the professional class. wo
.icail the lawyers. they gave two of
!le,i Tor representative a good major.
ny out yet they seem disposed TO hsvo
inc senate whether or no regardless n
me wish OF the people. After raking
ING scraping of the town of Macon
Ior all The votes they could get, taking
hlsger votes and all, they vet alc moi
content but as coon as the executive
com Is called together to investigate
u complaints and charges that was
uuiy hlcd Tor a hearing on the eighth.
'"c lawyers or 0ln OF their leaders
ere seen to be doging around arm
.ns Inc members OF the Ex Com Off
mo corners, and 10 and behold when
me hour arrived for the meeting of
inc com. the president could not IRE
vail on enough of the members of the
com to attend to constitute II quorum
though they were there on the streets
aliu some OF them had ridden many
miles through the rain and mud TO nj.
'ehd tho presidents call. Lacking one
Oh quorum on the call Of the roll the
president ruled that no business conld
De transacted. Now what remedy
was there left for the aggrievd farmer
democrats. Mr.. Madison's name was
a'Feauy put upon the ticket all ready
sen out to he voted on again by the
people although he had at first been
declared elected by the whole of .hc
committee, which the tabulated state
ment viii show was correct as he had
a clear majority of the whole vote
polled. Well, the people would rcc,i.
" that, as they did by giving him a
large majority on the 9th primary
we know not what might have been
me result if his opponent had been a
lawyer, but as he was only a country
and M anti subtreasury man,
they would risk it back to the people
supposing his anti.sub,rcasury would
ride him in, but the result from the
show how they stood, But
now what could be done in regard TO
senator. Mr.. Jamison could net 90
before the people as a candidate to be .
voted on. bat the people could make
demand OF the com. as they could
not be relied on 10 give Justice in an.
'cstigation as they had been tempered
With, and stood in the same attitude
ss a stocked jury, each mar biased for
MS man or a majority OF them, and so
he people make the demand and will
continue to demand on till thei, re.
quest is granted for it is the only way ,
inoWn to settle the matter harmoni-
and satisfactorily. Right is JUS
ice and justice will bring harmony '
satisfaction, Aud we can not {
hink that either Of the honorable gen.
lenncn would like to 90 to the state |
enate with the charges following
hem that they got there by negro and
fraudulent votes. No never let old :.
NoXnbcc ever be so represented but :,
he will OF her white voters be obeycd, u
mother primary for Senator will give |
he wish OF tue people. II is said that
fwycrs are mighty good fellows in
inc of trouble and oppression, but
Ghcre peace and harmony prevails
hey arc very trubulusum, but we must
ay in justice to some of them at Ma. !
on, the farmers desire to give their J.
hanks TO them for the part they have y
o nobly taken in this campaign, and :,
! Mr.. Billiard is the choice of the pco- !.
lie. white voters, he ought to go. but :,
I Mr. Jamison is the choice he must :,
o. Now the position the farmers Ia. +
in the outset is fair and just. Mr., :,
'illard a lawyer had been a senator :"
,r eight wears, worked TO bring OH -
Con Convention, was sent TO Con. i
cntion and now is one of tho three n
to draw up a new code of laws n
ndcr the new Constitution to present I
} the next Legislature for APPROVAL r
'othin@ but just to send n farmer to f,
ote upon his code presented rather y
send him to vote on his own T
