ROUTINE WORK WAS HARMONIOUS Sut On the Outside There Were Many Bit ter Fights—The Course to Be Pursued by the Populists In the Next General As sembly—Work of the State Technologi cal School—Meeting of Cotton Mill Men. [Special Correspondence.] Atlanta, June 27. —We hear much talk of the harmony that prevailed al the recent Democratic state convention at Macon. So far as the routine pro ceedings went, the convention was as remarkable for harmony as for poor speeches—and that is saying a great deal. But there were heartburnings, plots, counterplots and marplots on the outside. It was the old story of more candidates than positions. As usual, South Georgia got the crumbs. Even ■a consolation prize was denied. When a pan is in hard luck at play or politics, all the cards seem to run against him. But recurring to harmony, there was jbo much of it that the convention never had a rollcall. The only list of dele gates which have been utijjzed at a moment’s notice, was one published in the newspapers. Everything was fixed beforehand. Even the opening prayer was read from manuscript and some of the delegates wondered if it had been adopted by the caucus. It was not a part of the caucus proceedings, I am sure, because it invoked a blessing on “the president of these United States.” That was the only reference in the whole proceedings to Mr. Cleveland, and a dozen silver men told me they would have objected to that if it had come up in the caucus. Everything that was supposed to be fixed beforehand, how ever, did not go. The financial plank of the platform was an instance. A rather verbose and argumentative plank, nicely typewritten, was drawn out in the room of the platform committee. The plank had already been published. But the committee wanted something terse and clean cut. Boykin Wright of Augusta wrote a new one, declaring in direct language for 16 to 1. It was short, unmistakable and was promptly sub stituted for the cut and dried plank. The presence of Chairman John Cunningham of the Populist party, at tracted no little attention, but he was smooth and covered his trail right well. He had some conferences, looking to the course of the Populists in the next general assembly in the senatorship. The wires were laid to play the Popu lists and Cunningham appeared to con sent, but he got to see the hand of the other fellows before he would nego tiate. The Populists hope to elect Tom Watson to the senate. Failing in that, the thing next closest to their hearts is to defeat Judge Crisp. They will go to some other silver Democrat, but never to the ex-speaker, they say. And unless he has a clear majority in the general assembly over all other candidates, dark horses and all, he will be thrown down. The game has taken that turn and it is no secret any longer. Like the Old Maid. There must have been 100 candidates at Macon for one thing or another, while prospective members of the next assembly were few. One of the non commital fellows told all the candidates for judge and solicitor the same thing. “Are you for me?” a candidate would ask. “I’m like the old maid” he replied, "who, when asked by the preacher if she was on the Lord’s side ? ‘Well, I aint got nothin’ agin him.’ ” Boies was the favorite for the presi dency. Clark Howell will have no opposition for re-election as Georgia’s member of the national executive committee. A Point on Private Secretaries. A prospective new member of the next congress was asking some old members for points, particularly in re gard to a secretary. ' “Don’t you give that job to any one to pay a political debt. If you do Re \¥s££eSz will loaf and you will have to do the work. Hire a professional stenographer, or get some one whom you absolutely own, who will mail your public docu ments, your seeds, answer your corre spondence as well as you can yourself and be discreet in every particular—in short, a man who would not give you away—even to your wife. ” The old member smiled significantly, but the other one looked shocked. “You don’t appear to see the point now, but you will before your term is out,” added the old member. “Uncle Bob’* Is Not Sad. “In 1984 Georgia will be out of debt— not owe a dollar to any man,” said Un cle Bob Hardeman, the state treasurer, to me coming up on the train after the convention. “Georgia’s bonded debt now is a little over $8,000,000. Provis ion is made each year to pay off a part of the indebtedness, and in 40 years it will all be discharged.” Every bond of the state of Georgia now outstanding bears the signature of R. U. Hardeman, treasurer. He has held the office 14 years—since 1882. On Thursday he declined renomination by his party, and he says that he is glad that he will soon be out of the office. “It is unjust to require a treasurer to give $200,000 bond and pay him only $2,000 a year salary. It became too great a responsibility for me.” Colonel Hardeman will be in the next legislature from Newton county, and in 1898, if he is alive and well, he will probably make the race for governor. He is not on the slgte for that office, but he is a good politician and has an im mense following all through Georgia. While on politics, here is something of interest in the Seventh district. The Populists will not indorse Mr. Rankin, the independent candidate, nor any oue else, unless he accepts the party nomi nation as a Populist. There will be no fusion between Populists and Republi cans in the state ticket, either, unless the Republicans do the fusing. The Populists are willing to receive the Re publican votes but claim all the offices. This is the Populist position as stated by one of its most representative men. Mr. Rankin asked for the the Populist indorsement in the Seventh, but was answered that he would have to get on the party platform first. The Populists will hold their state convention about Aug. 5. How Acquaintance Counts. A candidate for any state office of con sequence is at a great disadvantage if he has never served in the general as sembly. The men who were at Macon this week and did not possess this ad vantage realized it. Acquaintance and personal popularity count wonderfully in a race for an office before the legislature. And even in the contests for positions purely of honor, such as delegate to the national convention, or elector, a wide acquaintance means half the battle. You have to know the representative men of the state to accomplish much outside of merely community politics. There are 100 men in Georgia who, if they merely indorse a man, will give him sufficient strength to win an ordi nary fight. But there are times when too close an acquaintance hurts. To il lustrate this take the following case : Three candidates for solicitor general in different circuits were discussing their respective races the other night at Macon. One prominent member of the last house, who will be in the next also, was mentioned casually. Then each candidate told of having written to this ex-representative with whom all three had served. Each man complained that he had received curt and unsatisfactory replies to letters which they had writ ten to him asking for his support. All three had counted certainly on getting the gentleman’s vote,-in return for past favors. Why he had written to them such unexpected letters, they could not understand. Later I learned that he had promised to support two other can didates, one of whom he did not know. Investigation showed that the member’s knowledge of the habits of the respect ive candidates influenced him. The first three referred to belonged to tho set that will dissipate and monkey with poker. The other two neither drink nor pla/. And that was the secret of it. The men who were known too well lost a vote, while the unknown one made THE NOME TiiIBUNK, SINDAY. JUNE £B, 1896. Training tbe Boy.. The State Technological school is do ing a great work for the boys of Georgia. Young men who have gone through it are now filling good positions in a num ber of states. Some of them are getting large salaries. The star piece of work on exhibition this week was a naptha launch made by one of the students named Egan, from Charleston, S. O. It was just as good a boat as could be bought for $2,200 and it was made in extra hours. The youug man made ev erything except the engine. Egan worked on his boat from the opening of the school year, Oct. 1, up to commence ment this week. The Tech trains for any character of skilled mechanical work. Several of the graduates are electricians, others are assistant managers of large manufacturing plants. The practical side of this institution, which the state sustains, is seen in what the graduates are capable of doing. Each county is entitled to six free schol arships. Board and other expenses will run from SIOO to $l5O a year. That keeps many a poor boy out, but for those who are able to spend so much money, the Tech offers a rare opportunity for a skilled manual training, with an aca demic education to reinforce it The school is not allowed to take contracts for work, as that would interfere with hired labor, but the boys can go ahead, make anything they wish, and then the faculty sells it, the proceeds going to the institution. All kinds of wood and iron work are done. Some of it is as near perfect as can be made. Looking to Foreign Markets. The meeting of cotton and wool man ufacturers to be held here on next Tues day is to see what can be done in the wav of opening up new markets. Man ufacturers do not believe that overpro duction is so much the cause of the de pression in their business as restriction to the home market. For the time be ing there is underconsumption in the United States, owing to the great num ber of idle people and low wages, but our mills ought to be selling cotton goods to Mexico, Africa and Asia. England has five times as many spindles as we have in the United States and has come to us for the raw material. A conference of southern manufacturers was held here a few weeks ago, and they talked over this very matter. They argued, as was mentioned in this correspondence at the time, that they ought to sell to the ex port trade. We have a little business with other countries, but the United Kingdom actually sells them 20 times the amount of cotton and woolen goods that we market there. Since the conference the manufactur ers have been thinking over this and now they are to get together again. One se cret of England’s great trade with South America and Africa is, that the English furnish the capital for the development of these countries. Our capitalists want from 6to 10 per cent. The English are glad to get 3 per cent, hence our neigh bors borrow and buy from Great Britain. The Übiquitous Myers. If Will Myers keeps in touch with his old home he must be amused at the weekly reports of his capture. The first of this month Deputy Sheriff Will Green traveled to an interior Missouri town to see a man whom the rural detectives were positive was the murderer of For rest Crowley. This week Green has gone to Texas, and he wires that the prisoner is not Myers. Frank Weldon. Did Vou Ever Try Electric Bitters as a remedy for your troubles? If not, get a bottle now and get relief.
