-1 The committee returned with Hon. Clift
ford Anderson, who, upon taking his seat
as permanent President, addressed the Con
vention in an eloquent manner.
GoL S. Weil chairman of the Fulton
county delegation, withdrew the name of
Hon. John H. James, and moved the nomi
nation of Gen. A. H. Colquitt by acclama

speech; which brought down the house in
roud after round of applause.
Col. J. M. Arnoiv of Camden seconded
the nomination.
Col. H. G. Wright of Richmond an-
| filled with office-holders who; but for their
1 positions would be dependent upon the
charities of the world. [Applause.]
Since the war we have sought peace and
through all our trials and the Protean hues
and shapes of reconstruction we have meant
peace, and the recorded facts ot our history
prove it, On the hustings in the pulpit, in
the columns of the press and from the bench,
lessons of charity, good will and harmony to
all classes of our fellow-citizens have been
taught and inculcated with a sincere purpose.
[Loud cheers.] But I shall not detain you
to-day, gentleman, with an elaborate speech
upon the grert national issues. Wo have
illustrated in the administration of the State
of Georgia since it was committed to the
Democratic party that no one of the rights
or priviledges ot any good citizens of the
country has been denied to him who ;had a
right to claitne them. [Cheers.] In
illustrating this I might refer to the present
able and admirable administration. [Ap
plause.] And in the same line to which I
have made reference, it will be the duty of
that officer who shall be 'called to preside as
his successor, to continue. [Cheers.]
Gentlemen, without going any further and
without any premeditation, allow me to say
that whiie I receive your standard with great
diffidence, distrustful of my own poweis, yet
strong in the purity of my intentions, I be
lieve that with your earnest co-operation, we
will vitalize the Democaatic party and give
a government to the country, which will en
courage industry, unite a divided people
and be a token of peace, harmony and hap
piness under the providence ot God; at the
coming of which we might bow down in
humble thanksgiving.
The counties were then called and the dele
gates proceeded to vote. The following was
