TIIE CINCINNATI CONVENTION.
The late third party convention,
at Cincinnati, was valhov a stormy
affair.
There were 1,417 delegates in the
convention, and they were evident
ly a 1 red hot for a third party.
They were mostly from the WCSS
tern,states—Kansas and Ohio Lav
ing a clear majority of the whole
convention.
Tho south was not represented in
the-convention, and took no part in
the proceedings.
Several prominent southern al
iiaricomen were present, however,
but they were not delegates, and
did not appear upon the floor. They
were.pipiply there as spectators, to
observe the personnel and character
of the movement, and to view the
situation from the “ground floor.”
President jAvingston, of tho Geor¬
gia State Alliance, was there, but
wns not a delegate, lie did not ap¬
pear upon the floor of the conven¬
tion, but was repeatedly called into
conference with the various commit¬
tees. lie opposed the third party
movement with invincible firmnoss
and diplomacy, and fought almost
single handed and alone against tho
red hot and determined leaders who
were bent upon organizing a third
part}*, and unfurling ita banner to
^jie bruoso in opposition to both of
the old parties.
While Mr. Livingston stood com¬
paratively alone in tho matter of op¬
position to tho third party scheme,
yet he spoke with thundering effect,
because he voiced the sentiments of
Guv-whole south In ODDOsilion to tho
rnoverhent.
Without the south’s co-operation
m the matter, tho west was power¬
less to inaugurate the movement,
so tho third party failed to ma¬
terialize very perceptibly, and tho
convention adjourned to February,
1892, after indulging in a great deal
of gush, and adopting an instru¬
ment as a platform which embraces
about all there is in both ibo dems
'x- '
ocralic and alliance platforms.
Tho convention was a stormy af¬
fair, and as a third party egg it fail¬
ed to hatch out anything tangible.
There is but one conclusion about
the whole business. If the dcmo„
cratie congress proves itself equal to
tho great emergency that is now
upon it, and wisely shapes its legis¬
lation so as to give tho laboring
masses such relief as they aro now
demanding, there will bo no third
party.; otherwise it; is certain to
Jo hie.
There are 0,500,000 voters belong
ing to the various organizations that
are clamoring for a third party, and
these are sufficient to elect the next
president of the United States.
Another thing may also be con¬
ceded as a certainty. The next pres¬
ident of tho United States will come
from the west, and tho vice presi¬
dent will come from the south f
Aou needn’t smile at this forecast
of the political situation, it is com
ing. It is one of the inevitables.
Watch, and see !

THE DAVIS 310NT'll .NT.
Gon. Gordon’s Address to Confederate
Veterans.
Atlanta, May 25.—Gen. Gordon has
issued the following address to his con¬
federate brethren :
Headquarters United States Confeder¬
ate Veterans, A tlanta, Gu , May 23, 1891.
My Confederate Brothers : Upon you
has devolved, in large measure, the re¬
sponsibility for raising funds for the pro¬
posed monument to Jefferson Davis. No
argument, no urgent appeal, no special
effort on our part is needed to secure
your hearty co-operation in this cause.
You will esteem it not only a sacred
duty, but a high privilege to enlist in
this work, and to secure the aid of all
our people throughout the union. With
unfaltering fidelity to every interest of
our whole country and sincere appreci¬
ation of all great Americans of every
section, we will build monumentsto our
own peerless heroes as an inspiration to
coming generations, and we will erect a
fitting one to our great chieftain, whose
public and private life was without fear
or reproach, whose services (o his coun¬
try in peace and war, will yet command
the respect and win the plaudits of all
his countrymen, and whose dauntless
devotion to his convictions has scarcely
a parallel in history.
The details of the plans for raising the
necessary money may safely be intrust¬
ed to the different confederate associa
tions, bivouacs, camps and local organ¬
izations, lint the committee appointed
by tbe Southern Press Association, itself
largely composed of confederate vete¬
rans, lias issued a call for the people to
meet June 18, to take proper steps to
forward a course of voluntary contribu¬
tions or other methods which they may
deem best. This seems to me both op¬
portune and wise.
I hereby most respectfully and ear
nestly urge all confederate organizations
to meet on that day for this purpose, and
all confederates not members of any or¬
ganization, to unite with the people and
assist tbe movement in their respective
localities, Funds raised by special ef¬
forts of confederates may be sent to
Judge W. L. Calhoun, of Atlanta, who
will act as treasurer, receipt for all re
mjttances, and place the same in bank
to tbe credit of the Davis Monument
Fund. J. B. Gordon,
Commanding United States Confederate
Veterans.
P. S. •The co operation of the sons
of Confederate Veterans, ami especially
of patriotic southern women, is invited
and assured.
J. B. Gordon.
A Dog Law
Warrenton Clipper,
If our legislature, at iti next ses¬
sion, wisncs in immurinrao ftsetf,
and lot its praises go sounding down
through the “long drawn aisles and
fretted vaults” of all futurity, it will
certainly pass somo elective dog
law, As a rule, the more worthless
und lees able to care for a dog the
owner is, tbe more worthless hounds
and curs he has. Scarcely a ne¬
gro family in tho country but has
from one to five, They arc half fed
and cared for, and aro very produc¬
tive of a throat disease among sheep
arid other property of value. Wo
would not give a flock of 100 sheep
for every dog in the county. They
aro producers of nothing save pro¬
fanity, and annually consume
enough, together with what they
destroy, to pay the state tax. Then
why does one of our salons not take
it upon himself as a duly imposed
by heavon, % to prepare and put
through a dog law? We are sure tho
masses of the people would favor
such an enactment. It always Was
a strange thing to us why a set of
men selected (^presumably) for their
superior intelligence and sagacity
could pass 3 or 4 months every t«o
years, hammering away at legisla¬
tion, of to say tho least, doubtful
benefit, and let such a glaring need
us a dog law go unheeded. Some
ono is certain!)’ allowing a golden
opportunity for writing his name in
loiters of gold on the scroll of lame,
pass by on the other side." Awake!
arise! or be forever fallen.
Gulled by Gould
Cincinnati, May 13. —The Post
publishes a story, said to have been
furnished by an ex-judgo and corpo
ration attorney, relating the big
losses by Senator 13i ice, Governor
Campbal! and Genera! Thomas, and
of big profits by Jay Gould.
Messrs. Brice, Campbell and
Thomas aro represented us having
combined with Dr. C. P. Hunting
ton Richmond “to root Jay Gould frum the
Terminal, and shut hint
out from his Pacific mail holdings.” \
Mr. Gould “let ho 80 easily’ that
at onoo the story' was telegruphed ! ” j
throughout tbe financial worid that
Gould had at last been worsted.
Mr. Gould sold out the Richmond
terminal at 54. The buyers thought
it would rise, hut it fell to 43.
Then, it is asserted, Mr. Campbell
and others went to Mr. Gould to
&I1 their stock, but he told tb in the
slock was all right and they should
margin up. A few days later it fell I
ten down points more, and finally went 1
to 23, when the syndicate
again went to Mr. Gould in quest oi
relief.
‘ Ob, it w ill come out all right, ' •
Mr. Gould is reported as saying “it
w ill keep on falling, and I think it
will go to 6.
Mr. Gould theu offered to trade
Western Union at 79 for syndicate
stock of Richmond terminal at 13.
I his was accepted.
The story, in couclusior, save: “A |
week later there came a drop in
Western FtiMiiHtind arise in Jhc i
moud TctmiiVai. Brice s said to
hove lost ovci- ed,000.000, and Camp
bell, nearly, if not all, be had.”

Tho people of Jersey and vicinity*
have always been alive on the Sri*
lion of education, and now tbt^have
joined their minds and hearts to¬

the desired amount will be raised at

goon to begin. This is a grand work

A Ycing Man’s Fancy.
Largo allowance is to be made for
tho sweeping assertion of tho pool
that “In tho spring a young man’s
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
love.” It certainly is not true of
tho malarial young man, whose
fancy, if lie lias any, is of tho dull
and heavy variety. The malarial
young r,.an marches around as tho
captive of General Debility. The
readiest and most obvious means of
osoapo aro afforded by S. S. S.,
which, without any flourish, routs
General Debility and his malarial
allies. What is truo of tLo young
man is true of tho young lady, and
He whole host of sufferers. S. S. S.
is a specific for malaria.
