THE PLATFORM.
Hie following is the platform unani
mously adopted by the National Demo
cratic Convention:
The Drmocrat^cf lhe DnlKJ States. la eol
First. #e pledge ourselves to tbe constitutional
roctrloee sad traditions of tbe Dscaocr .tic party as
IllnstrateJ by tbe teaching sad example of n long
line of Democratic statesmen and patriots and em
bodied in the platfoim of the last National conven
tion of the party.
Opposition to centralization and to that
lavptritof encroachment which tends to
do Urn powers of all tbo departments in
to create, whatever be tbe form of
i real despotism; so sumptuary laws;

• of tbe public faith, consisting of go*d and
stiver, and paper convertible lsto coin on demand:
a atrtet maintenance of the public fa tb, state and
aadooal; and a tariff for revenue only.
Fourth. Tha subordination of t be military to tbe
ctvfl power; and a general and thorough reform of
the civil service.
Fifth. Tbe right to a free ballot is tbe right pre
servative of all rights, and must sod shall be main
tained la every ewe of tbe United States.
Oath. Tbe existing administration b the repre-
•eataUve of a conspiracy only, and Its claim of a
right to snrroandthc ballot boxes with troops and
liens, and the unprecedented use of tbe veto to
maintain ifa corrupt and despotic power, insults tbe
people and Imperils their institutions.
Beveath. Tbe greet fraud of 1874-77, oy which,

deadly blow at our system of representative go
meat. The Democratic party, to preserve tbe
try rrom eiril war, submitted for a time wiuJMI
and patriotic fkith, that the people would punish
tbto crime In 1888. This tame precedes and dwarfs |
•very other. It impoam a more

Oar Greatest Need.
The Atlanta Constitution, in an ar
ticle quoted elsewhere, states tliat
Georgia’s population has decreased
75,000 in the last decade. We do not
know the Constitution’* authority
for the statement, but suppose it fs
correct. It is certainly true that
Georgia’s population is not ono half
what it ought to be and what it
would bo wero her resources and ad
vantages properly made known to
the world. It is doubtful if any coun
try in the world of the same area
presents such a variety of cliniato
and resource. It is truly a wonder
ful country, and only those who have
given attention to the subject can ap
preciate the advantages it offers.—
Were these advantages made known
there is no doubt but tlust thousands
of intelligent, industrious emigrants
would flock to our bordors, develop
ing our lands, utilizing our resources,
multiplying our Industries nml chang
ing our wasto places into busy, hum
ming, happy villages and cities.
Georgia has so many grand oppor
tunities that it seems almost a crime
to let them pass unimproved. A
glance at the rapid development of
some of the Western States and their
almost marvelous change from sterile
wilderness to prosperous common
wealths, and an investigation into
tbe means by which the change lias
been brought about will reveal the
fact that the strong arm of Emigra
tion has been the magic wand that
wrought the transformation.
And yet Mr. Fontaine says: "I
have never vet seen a foreigner, and
1 have talked with hundreds, who
had ever heard of Georgia. Before
the)’ come they certainly must be in
formed that there is such a country to
come to.”
Surely we arc letting golden op
portunities pass through our hands.
We have not the population nor cap
ital to properly develop our wonder
ful resources, and unless we make an
effort to bring both to our aid we
must see other and far less favored
sections grow great and prosperous
while our own State goes backward
in the scale of progress and civilza-
tion.
Some Notable Figures.
The press of the State, and especial
ly of Sonthwcst Georgia, has had a
good deal to say of late years upon
the subject of sheep-raisino. And
it is a topic of vast interest to
tbe farmers of our section, and well
worth their thoughtful consideration.
It is no doubt ono of the most inex
pensive and profitable industries that
can be engaged in, and it is witii plea
sure that we agaiu call the attention
of onr readers to some facts and fig
ures pertinent to the subject. On
our fourth page will be fonnd a com
munication from Messrs. Odom and
Williams, of Baker county, giving
their experience in wool-growing da
ring the past four years. The show
ing made by these gentlemen is clear,
comprehensive and highly satisfac
tory, and is one ofthe many instances
that have from time to time been
given to show that this new industry
is one of the most profitable that can
be adopted at the South.
The article referred to shows that
from a total investment of $500.00
there resulted a yearly net gain of
about $390, or 75 per cent, per year.
Surely this is as great a profit as any
man would wish to make; and it is
surprising to ns that more of onr far
mers do not tarn their attention to
this money-making business.
There is always a splendid market
for wool. Any quantity may be sold
in Albany, and for several years past
the price has ranged from 28 to 40
cents per pound. Pasturage is abun
dant, and in most places free to all;
the climate is admirably adapted for
the raising and shearing of tiic sheep;
the expenses of folds, shepherds, win
ter housing and feed are at the mini
mum, in most cases nothing nt all,
in fact everything conspires to make
Southwest Georgia specially suited
lo this great and important branch of
agriculture, and enables it to be fol
lowed at the least possible expense
and a corresponding greater profit.
There is no reason, except the back
wardness of our people to take hold
of the subject with zeal and determi
nation, why wool-growing should
not become one of the loading indus
tries of our section, and he made to
pour into onr coffers untold riches.
We earnestly urge upon our people
a careful consideration of this great
subject. Now is our opportunity.—
If we arc slow to appreciate it it wilt
not he many years before onr enter
prising neighbors of the North and
West will sec our advantages and
hasten to coin the dollars that we
have let slip through onr fingers.

plea to our young men for the pros

In the humbler walks of life there
is plenty of remunerative work to ho
done. For young inen in good health
there is no excuse for failure. The
Imiuilcs of that noble instrument of
civilization, the plow, arc always in
reach. Ten dollars a month ami
board can always he had. Thirty
dollars pcraiiiiuin will do for cloth
ing. This leaves i. net. gnin of ninety
dollars for the :irst year. Thai,
young man, is on the road to inde
pendence.
Colquitt Before the Convention
The Columbus Times a bitter anti-
Colquitt paper has these just words
to say about the convention: Whcth
cr correct or not we cannot yet say
hut those who have paid most atten
tion to the subject, must admit that
tho Atlanta Constitution has been
more diligent in getting information
from county conventions and mass
meetings than any other paper in the
State, and hence its reports are fuller
than any other, if not more correct.—
And according to the estimate of the
Constitution Colquitt will have on
the first ballot 224)£ votes lacking
only fij-j votes of a two-thirds major
ity. If this estimate is corret we
cannot longer hope that any compet
ing candidate can succeed in secur
ing the Humiliation. Indeed with
such a vote at the start we shall think
however little lie may deserve the
nomination,‘that he is entitled to it.
If the people have any right to indi
cate a choice for candidates, it would
seem when that choice is unmistaka
bly. expressed and is overwhelming
in its preponderance in favor of one
man over all others, that their dele
gates should confirm their choice by
nominatingibe public favorite. It is
the disregard shown to the wishes of
the masses,'by conventions that has
done more than anything else to dis
gust the people with conventions and
to build up “independentism.” Har
mony in the convention to-morrow
will re-establish it in the entire State
and strengthen the party infinitely
more than would the success of any
faction or combination of factions.
The Men for Sheep-Raising.
The South, a paper published in the
city of New York, commenting on sheep
raising, truthfully says: “Now that
wool is high and mutton is beginning to
be appreciated, a very large number of
nersons are preparing to engage in the
business of sheep-raising. Many of them
will fail in the enterprise they [arc about
to undertake, not because the business is
not profitable when well conducted, but
because they are not adapted to it. Stieep
require very careful attention, and unless
they receive it they will not do well,even
If they are kept where the soil, climate
and vegetation are the most favorable.
Many persons have an antipathy to sheep
which they cannot control. Sheep that
hear their voieedo not approaeli them,
hut gelas far away from them as they ean
Men who have no love for sheep, should
never tie intrusted with their care,
shepherd who docs not love Ids sheep,
anil who is not loved by them in return
should ehoose some other occupation
He Inis mistook his culling. Careless per
sons rarely succeed with sheep. They
are likely to leave their flock to suffer
during storms ami protracted drouths.
Persons who cannot devote their entire
time to the care of sheep during the peri
od that lambs are dropped, in the spring,
will find that their flocks will increase
very slowly. Taimtis require more
and attention than any young animals
raised on a farm. Till they are a month
old need almost as imieli nursing ns

response to the compliment and llie

by the Toccoa News lie said the night
hail been a long one—extending from

Mr. Fontaine and His Work.
Atlanta Constitution.]
A few months ago the legislature
of this state elected Mr. Francis Fon
taine comraisioncr of immigration,
premising the election with the dec
laration that the state wns not to pay
one dollar of salary or expenses—not
even the rant oft lie oflicc in New
York. The appointment was consid
ered a good one, hut no one iningiii
ed that without a dollar of appropri
ation ho would he able to do any
thing at all.
Those who knew Mr. Fontaine and
were aware of the ability, sagacity
and cner3y that lie put into any cii
terpriso lie gave Ids name to, predict
ed that the state would reap good re
suits from Ids work. Thai their con
fidence was not misplaced is niuply
proven by recent fucts. This young
gentleman, thrown on ids own re
sources, with no help outside of his
own efforts, lias started the real t'dc
of immigration to Georgia, aud has
done more for the cause than all the
immigration agents or bureaus we
have ever had. Some idea of the
embarrassment under which lie has
worked may be had when we state
that when he. gave a prospecting
traveler a copy of a pamphlet descrip
tive of the resources of Georgia, print
ed ut Ids own expense, lie had to give
him n 2 cent stamp and ask him to re
turn tho;pamphlct as soon as lie had
read it. Instead of having twenty
finely printed copies to hand him and
ask their distribution, the one tliai
was furnished had to be road and
turned.
We' respectfully submit that, judg
ed by its results, Mr. Fontaine’s work
is worthy of eucouragcmcnt at the
hauds of the legislature. He lias a
scheme of magnitude and feasibility,
partially disclosed in the interesting
interview printed in to-day’s Consti
tulion. It is our firm conviction that
the right man for this essential, but
delicate work, has been found at last
and that he lias patiently and surely
struck the right plan oi work. We
understand perfectly that there is a
great prejudice against appropria
tions for tliis sort of tiling, but we re
mind those who object that while

No Banker.
Messrs. Editors: Yon have re
ccutly published an article from the
“Critic,” and also from an anonymous
correspondent in which they arc
much troubled in mind, charging
that I am a banker, and again they
arc greatly troubled lest, in the event
of my election, I put the State funds
in “Speer’s hank.” I presume the
pnblic have little interest in iny pri
vate affairs; contrary to my own in
clination, but in deference to the
wishes of friends, I ask space to state
that I am not now and never lmvc
been a banker. I never in my life
made a financial transaction for any
bank. I am a lawyer by profession
—have never followed any other bus
iness. I am the attorney for the La-
Grange Banking and Trust Company
and hold by courtesy the complimen
tary title of vice-president without
pay, past, present, or future. It is not
true that 1 am a large stockholder in
said hank, on the contrary I|am one
of the smallest stockholders. 1 have
never in my life owned but $3,500of
any bank stock. I regret tliat I do
not own more.
If elected treasure of the State of
Georgia, I will endeavor t > under
stand the law. and follow it in letter
and sjiiril. No man lias (tic rigid to
presume that I would violate the law
and divert the public funds from the
public treasury. I recognize the
great principle Hint “public office is
trust; not a bounty bestowed on the
holder. No incompetent nml dishon
est person should ever lie entrusted
with it, or if npponitcd, they should
he promptly cjecleil.”
I nin pledged to Die doctrine tliat
“the public purse should Vie used for
public purposes only.”
Very respectfully,
