train and escorted the distinguished
visitors to the Oglethorpe. Col. Estill

the South Georgia candidate how
strongly they believe in his candidacy.
There was such a good reception given
Col. Estill, Mr.. Oliver. and Maj Find
ley that Hon. w. e. Kay of Bruins
wick, who had been requested to speak.
advised that all the time be given them.
and the enthusiasm never waned.
Mr.. oliver spoke as follows:
My Fellow Citizens / find in the
call issued by the friends of Col Estill
in this city three reasons advanced for
| requesting their fellow citizens to sup
port him in his laudable ambition to
| become the next Governor of Georgia.
Those reasons are the key to the situa-
ton. They express in few words the
arguments which make it imperative
that he should be elected to that posi-
ton of trust and honor. / shall add
but two other reasons to the three al
| ready named by them, and what / shall
say will, in the main, be but an en-
| largement upon the three reasons al
| ready advanced.
The first reason enumerated in the
call is Because he is South Geor-
gia candidate, and the only South Geor-
gia candidate in the field. and because
South Georgia has had no recognition
in the election of a governor for the
past eighty years
Intent upon the duties of local sig
| nificence, or of national Importance,
South Georgians have suffered the po-
itcal affairs of the state to be DOM
mated by cabal or ring, organized
among the politicians from Middle and
North Georgia, which, to all appear
ances, has corporate existence, and Is
| capable of perpetual succession. That
| cabal has restricted not only the emol-
uments, but the honors as we'll, of
| many important stations to the favor
ed few in favored localities. Eighty
| years of such rule are enough and too
| fc hot
domination of North and Middle Geor-
gia over South Georgia should cease.
| 1t is time that South Georgians should
stop marching as the torch-light bear
| ers in the professions headed by men
from other sections of the state.
Sons of south Georgia.
The fact that South Georgia has not
| had a representa- tive in the gubernato-
rial chair for the past eighty years is
not to be accounted for on the SUPPOSE
ton that she has not furnished men
worthy Of that honor and trust but
| solely upon the ground that South
Georgia has not been accorded during
| those years that political recognition
which her intellectual. financial. agri-
cultural and commercial Importance de-
manded. The correctness of this prop
osition is overwhelmingly established
| when you call to mind the illustrious
given to the state and to the world a
| galaxy of brilliant noble and patriotic
men. who have added glory and lustre
| to the name of Georgia-such men as
/ Thos. u. p. Charlton, George NJ
! Troup. John Mcpherson Berrien. Will
! liam p. Fleming Francis s. Barlow,
| Cen Alexander r. Lawton, Gen. Hen
| ry r. Jackson. and many others. And
| South Georgia now presents to the
voters of this state. as a candidate for
| the exalted position of Governor,
man. who, if elected Governor, win go
down in history as the peer of the brill
liant South Georgians already named
| the Hon. John II. Estill of Savannah
This is no extravagant claim l make
for my fellow townsman. Although he
has not heretofore come before the
people of his state. as a candidate for
political honor, yet he is worthy of that
honor, and when he is elected Governor
! Of Georgia, he wifi impress upon the
political history of this state that
strong personality that has been the
| keynote of his success.
The Morning News a Monument.
The most signal monument TO that
/ strong personality and individuality Is
\ the Savannah Morning News. You,
/ therefore. urge, and urge correctly, as
] your second reason for wishing him 70
be your next Governor because Col.
Estill has built up a great newspaper,
