On May 20, 1867, an executive committee of the Union Republican Party of Georgia, whose white leaders were the same as those of the Union League, issued a call for a convention to assemble in Atlanta on July 4. At the gathering, control of the new party passed from the officers of the Union League, who were Atlantans, to a group of ambitious politicians, also white, from Augusta. The Republican postmaster there, Foster Blodgett, was elected president of the convention and chairman of the party's state central committee, while John Emory Bryant, also of Augusta, was chosen secretary. Thereafter, the Augusta Ring controlled the party's organization.
