The Coo6a state convention that September to declare

form principles and policies for the successful SIDE TO pursue
ran over few chronic cker and dsurbers who had come
to the convention prepared give trouble without regard to any
general desire of the defeated Sue u collu0 '0 ~ any
further for this time
Now where is your parallel?
How, can Governor Patterson and his acts and state
venop and its acts be placed on the same plane at aR
Governor Patterson By his official acts outraged the sense OF
decencv Of the people Tennessee well as the fundamental
laws of the state and the people of Tennessee arose in their
might and hurled him from his gddy pinnacle OF anced secur
itv The people of Georgia In convention assembled through
their duly delegated representatives alter heated ana acr
monous contest and the decision rendered refused to hear fur
ok before them expeditousy and close the incident
# was cacaer treatment doubt impatient andimpolitc
but they we're the people the same with the people who
the Constitution says took the bit in their mouth In tennessee
Where is the Patterson paraleE
The people of Tennessee revoted against Patterson
The neope of Georgia revolt against their own repre-
sentaves and agents. They bound in law and politics by
the acts of If delegated representatives. II Their delegates
acting within the scope of their powers comted wrong
tbpd or an ndscree thing the people repemand and
,,UithD oaI
II; oil bs is there any one power and usurpaton that is
implied in the "Paersonsm
OF course Hoke Smith the Patterson the Constitution is
dredne its scarcely yelled illusions at but Hoke Smith is re-
sponsbe only his aud is in his acts as governor
or rtosnecye governor that the Constitution must look for
arae between himself Governor Patterson and not in the
conduct of convention of the people met for day and for the
purpose of celebrating party faction victory even though
Governor Smith be the nominee OF that convention 1t is IN
Governor Smiths own express made to that
tonutterances which the Constitution will find printed in full
in ire own news columns and which it strangely gnores-utter
ances pleading consideration kindness harmony and conc
iaon these uterances that are anything but Patter
sonian that the Constitution will find the evidences of oke
Smithsm and in the pleas made by Governor Smiths best
known euenants the floor and platform OF the convention
to the majority to give the minority patient hearing
We wish to say here that the minority spokesman byno
means bameess for the in which the convention ran
them We are told by the Macon Telegraph that was the
intention of the minority latter placing the majority candidate
in nomination to propose the customary minority motion make
the nomination the majority candidate unanimous but the
Teeeraphs good intentions of those atehough which
if so often drags reckessy than veracousy to give
.esmitutde to bald and unconvncing narrative orgetfu
in its eaeerness find argument at the expense of the
temnoraneos circumstances that dscredt its
Senator Griffith who attempted to put Governor Brown in
nomination before conon peaced his intention by making
hitter and undisgused attack and anmadvesons the
cessl candidate and howed down while reading part
of these hostile sentiments from roll of manuscript and be-
cause of his offensive sentiments rather than because of his
rpose to nominate Governor Brown concerning which very
few in the convention cognizant Any who will take
the trouble to read SENATOR Grhs speech prned-and all
that was spoken was prnted-wi that Gov Browns
name was never mentioned until the concluding
reached-Senator Griffith reached in the convention
sneeh at aand that the speech throughout yelled
tack on Hoke Smith delivered the form euogy of anoh
or who was never named to the convention
1t seems very clear from the unorgng temper the Brown
nomination speech if the Telegraph had any unanimous
endorsed intentions for the man had fought regardless of
oueensbery Hoye either they certainly not shared by
the man who was selected nominate Governor Brown
