< Mt taking the chair Judge Boynton
a brief address regarding the
■ss of tlm convention,
II, thanked tho “representative
Georgians” for the honor conferred
upon him an honor for which he was
profoundly grateful, lie called the
attention of th convention to the
fact that it had assembled for the pur
of nominating candidates to fill
th dlieoH of tin' state. ’I’he duties of
th convention m this particular were
v< r\ easily performed, except in an
instance, has already chosen these eau
didates.
“Another and a more important
business,” said the speaker, “is the
or nitem of a platform of democratic
pie In li charging this duty
Ul ' i mi l go about it right and should
proclaim only democratic doctrines.
A\ should proclaim true democratic
loctriue.
‘‘No plank should be put in the

votes. \\ should deal honestly by
the people whose voices will be heard

t n to your party, true to your conn
try. la t un allay every bitter feeling
that 1ms been engender* d by the heated
contest for the nomination."
\t the conclusion of his speech Hon.
M. Hardin and Hon. \V. A. Harris
wire elected temporary secretaries.
Air, Janus l!_ Smith wns elected mes
ranger and Captain Wilson of Rich¬
mond, doorkeeper.
1 > r the purpose of saving time Rich¬
ardson, of Fulton, moved that the roll
call for the purpose of getting ft list of
delegates be dispensed with. The ino
turn prevailed.
ITUM AN ENT OHO ANIMATION.
Temporary Chairman Boynton an¬
nounced that the next business of the
convention was its permanent organiz¬
ation. Hon. Win, Davis, of Burke
county, placed in nomination for office
of permanent chairman the name of
Hon. Steve Clay, of the county of Cold
At this juncture a sensation wns
created when Air. Trox Bankston, of
the Ringgold AYie South arose and
said:
“Air. Chairman, 1 believe Hint a
gentleman should bo nominated for
the position of permanent chairman of
this convent ion who is free from the
stain of populism and republicanism.
It 1ms been charged that recently that
the gentleman whose name 1ms just
been put before tho convention has
been guilty of—”
Air. Bankston got no further. A
volley of hisses greeted him and he
gesticulated wildly, but not a soul
could hear him. Shouts of “sit down,
sit down! ' came from all over the
chamber, every member of the con
volition rose to his feet, and as many
ns could climbed on the desks.
rwOFMONll'M ItEIONED SUPKEME.
All the time Judge Boynton was
pounding the marble slab with the
jr'fcvel, but in vain, for Bankston kept
u np his etVorts to make his speech and
the crowd would not hear him.
1 hiring the hub-lmb Mr. Clay man¬
aged to got in a word of explanation.
Hi' began bv saving:
“The entleman who referred to
certain charges a moment ago is a nico
young man and personal friend of mine.
1 desire that he be heard.”
“ There were certain affidavits pub¬
lished by certain gentlemen in a weekly
paper.*’ and Mr. Clay waved a package
of papers in his hands.
It i gan to be evident that possibly
it was Air. Bankston’s intention to
bring the matter before the conven¬
tion. so that Mr. Clay would have a
chance for vindication.
Air. Cabauiss, of Fulton, settled the
matter, and at ouo stroke brought
order out of chaos at this juncture by
saying: ‘*1 move we settle whether
wo think Air. Clay needs any vindica¬
tion ai the hands of this convention
by rising as one man and electing him
to th« place for which he has been
nominated." The motion was put and
cairicd, and a committee appointed to
escort Mr. Ciav to the chair.
THE MONROE ADVERTISER, FORSYTH, GA., TUESDAY, AUGtJST 7, 1894. -EIGHT PAGES.
T’EfcM avent OBOANIZATIOX.
On assuming tho chair Mr. Clay
called the convention to order and
made a few remarks regarding the Con¬
fusion in the convention. “The gen¬
tleman you have refused to hear,” said
he., “is a nice yonng man and a jjerson
nl friend of mine. He referred to cer¬
tain affidavits published ih A certain
weekly paper. Two certain mi □
charged ine in these affidavits that I
had promised two other certain in* i.
that if they would vote for Mr. Atkin¬
son, I would do what I could to make
a fine ugaiust them as light as possible
in a Certain case then in court. I de¬
ny the iioinnation thus made, and de¬
clare that this charge is too contempti¬
ble to need vindication at my hands or
yours. then They are false." Mr. Ciav
read an affidavit, which beheld
in his hand, exhonerating him and
proving the charges unfounded. When
the reading of the affidavit was con¬
cluded Mr. Clay began his address to
the convent : on.
He eulogized the democracy and
said that when a man concluded to
join a church, tho first thing he did
was to sco whether or not his convic¬
tions agreed with the doctrine of that
church. After that was decided, ho
should join that church and live up to
these doctrines,and there should be no
disseution or perversion of the princi¬
ples taught by his creed. So it should
be with one who enrolls himself in the
list of the democracy, whose doctrines
were as old as the hills, and as solid as
their granite foundations.
Mr. Clay then went on to enumerate
the things, both state and national in
character, tlmt had been accomplished
by He democracy. Ho went into a
detailed enumeration of these things.
I he spi uk it quoted Jefferson,who had
iiiiuouneecl a hundred years before that
peace, commerce and friendship with
all nations, with entangling alliances
with none, were the true principles of
the democratic party. That the dem¬
ocracy taught local self-government,
right of election by the people, honest
payments of our debts, freedom of re¬
ligious opinion and freedom of the
pi i ss, and fair and impartial trial by
jury. 'I hose principles set forth our
political creed.
Air. (day’s conclusion was warmly
applauded.
THE PLATFORM COMMITTEE.
(tii motion of Hon. Robert Berner,
of Monroe, a committee on platform
nml resolutions was appointed.
The committee named, with Mr. Ber¬
ner i>s chairman, was as follows:
From the Btato at Large—Allen
Fort, .1. B. James, l’opo Barrow, Hal
Lewis.
First District—J. A. Brannon and
Mr. Brinson.
Becond District —E. P. Boyd and A.
L. Hawes.
Third District—Mr. Hodge and Mr.
Wright.
Fourth District—Warner Hill and
Price (lilbort.
Fifth District—E. P. Howell and H
H. Cabauiss.
Bixtli District—R. L. Berner and
Mr. Bchumato.
Eight District—Hamilton McWhor¬
ter and Alex B. Erwin.
Ninth District— W. E. Bimmonsand
Harvey Taber.
Tenth District—W. A. Little and
Boykin Wright.
Eleventh District—O. It. Pendleton
and W. G. Brantley.
The convention then adjourned un¬
til 3 o’clock p. m.
When the convention reconvened at
3 o’clock the nominations for governor
were called for. lion. W. Y. Atkinson
was placed in nomination by Mr. Hew¬
lett Hall, his former law partner.
The first seconding speech was made
by Mr. James H. Blount, of Bibb.
He was followed by Mr. Hardwick, of
Washington county, and Mr. Henry
Persons, of Talbot. Colonel Atkinson
was then nominated by acclamation,
and a committee of five sent out to
conduct the nominee to tho platform.
It was some minutes before Colonel
Atkinson could find vent to talk, so
great was tho enthusiasm of the dele¬
gates. They stood upon desks and
tables, throwing hats in air and waving
handkerchiefs.
When the applause had subsided
sufficiently to allow anybody to bo
heard, Chairman Clay said : “Gentle¬
men of the convention, it now gives
me the greatest pleasure to introduce
to you the man whom you have chosen
with such unanimity to be your stand¬
ard benrir in the battle upon which
wo are entering. He needs no intro¬
duction from me, for he 1ms a place
already in the hearts of you all. He is
Hon. W. Y. Atkinson, the favorite
son of Coweta, who has now become
Georgia’s favorite son.”
This was the signal for another dem¬
onstration. When the cheering had
ceased Colonel Atkinson began his
address by thanking the convention
for the honor conferred on him.
Among other things he said: “We
have passed through a campaign of
friendly rivalry. That is now at mi
end, and after this hour it is no longer
a question between individuals. It is
not a question of like and dislike.
That has all been eliminated, and now
we rise to the lofty question of a
choice between a party of principles
and a party without principles. After
this hour I am a candidate for noth¬
ing. It is now a contest between tho
principles of the democratic party and
principles which are erroneous, isms
which are dangerous and which, it
must be borne in mind, being danger¬
ous. are not made respectable by being
espoused by any man, no matter who
he be. Tho principles and the pur¬
poses of the enemies of the democratic
party of 1894 cannot be, and are not,
more respectable now than they were
in 1892, when Mrs. Lease and Weaver
were their chief advocates.
“After this hour I call upon no man
to be loyal to me or to be faithful to
my interests. I take to-day in my
hands the standard of the democratic
party, and 1 say to the democrats of
Georgia to stand by me until the fight
is fiuished. Let us make war not only
upon those principles that threaten our
government, but upon those methods
that threaten chaos to the south, and
will, if carried to their last analysis,
engulf us in ruin.
“Now, I want to ask this conven¬
tion to be true to it-olf; true to its
convictions. Let your public utter¬
ances be the truth, and let them not
be a dodge. I ask you to give me and
the democracy of Georgia a square
cut, democratic state platform, and I
pledge you my word that I know how
to win with that. There’s one thing
that 1 ilo not know, and that is How
to dodge. And I don’t want l n begiti
learning in this campaign:"
Colonel Atkinsdn concluded by
again thanking the convention for the
honor which it had bestowed upon
him, and as he retired froth the speak
er s chair he was given another great
ovation. His speech was a most timely
ami most excellent one, and was greet¬
ed with great applause throughout.
Then came the contest for secretary of
state, the contestants being Hon. A. D.
( andler ami Col. Clifton, of Chatham.
The vote resulted: Candler, 19C5-1G;
Clifton, 140 l-16~giving Candler the

ONE GENERAL PRIMARY.
The closing hour of the evening ses
sion was brimful of sensation. The
following resolution was introduced :
“Resolved, That it is the sense of
this convention that the democratic
executive committee in calling the
next general convention for the nomi¬
nation of governor and statehouse
officers shnll direct that the several
counties of this state shall select dele¬
gates to said convention on the same
day throughout the state. ”
The resolution went through with
a rush, but not without a spirited
fight. At tlio hour of adjournment,
the opponents of the measure were ex¬
hausting all their ingenuity to secure
a reconsideration.
Tho convention then adjourned un
til 8 :30 o’clock, when they were prom¬
ised a report from tho platform com
k
mitteo.
A Platform Presented.
The night session was, of course, for
the reception jdutiWro, which,
it was generally understood, had been
agreed on, and but little else was at¬
tended to.
A cheer went up when Captain Dick
Wilson walked down the middle aisle
and announced the committee on plat¬
form as ready to report.
Air. Cabauiss, the secretary, then
stepped to tho clerk’s desk and read
the following platform:
“We, the representatives of the
democratic pi r!v of Georgia, in con¬
vention assembled, declare our unfal¬
tering faith in the principles which
brought the party into existence under
the wise leadership of Jefferson, and
which gave victory to the democratic
party in 1892, under the masterly
leadership of Grover Cleveland. We
declare anew our devotion to the fun¬
damental principles of sound democ¬
racy; that tho federal government is
one of limited powers derived only
from the constitution; determined op¬
position to all centralizing tendencies;
a strict adherence to tho doctrine of
local self-government, and of the
rights of each state to govern itself
and exercise all functions of govern¬
ment, not delegated in tho constitution
to the federal government; taxation
only for the purposes of government,
honestly administered; gold and silver,
the money of the constitution as pri¬
mary money; equal and exact justice
to all men, and the courageous and
faithful discharge of official duties.
“We denounce the socialistic, pater¬
nal and centralizing ideas now sought
to be propagated in our midst as dan
r Tt'iis and destructive heresies which,
if successful, would dethrone liberty
aud enslave the people.
“While it is true that only state offi
e< rs are to be nominated by this con¬
vention, and only state officers are to
be elected at the approaching October
election, and that the direct question
upon which the people are now to pass
— whether or not the democratic party
should be entrusted with and continued
in control of our state government—
makes it a state and not a national con¬
test, yet, we cannot ignore the fact
that we are deeply and vitally interest¬
ed iu those national questions which
can only be solved by the federal gov¬
ernment and which now challenge the
earnest attention and patient thought
of every patriot.
“We hereby approve of anti reaffirm
our allegiance to the principles of the
Georgia state platform of 1892, and of
the platform of the democratic party
adopted by the national convention in
1892, and especially do xve insist upon
those parts relating to the tariff and
currency. Upon the great question
of currency, we reiterate the princi¬
ples and purposes of our national plat¬
form, endorsed with such unparalleled
unanimity by the people in 1S92, and
urge upon our senators and representa¬
tives in congress, and upon our presi¬
dent, a speedy repeal of the prohibi¬
tory tax upon the issue of state banks.
“We demand the immediate passage
of such legislation ns will restore sil¬
ver to its constitutional position as a
money metal, and will secure at once
the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver on a parity, and give to
every dollar a circulation, whether
coin or paper, the same debt-paying
and purchasing power.
“We further demand a just and
equitable tax on incomes.
“We guarantee to the people of
Georgia a continuance of a wise and
honest administration of state affairs
iuartgufated and maintained by the
democratic party and which has so
cured to the people of Georgia for so
many years the blessing of good gov
eminent.
“We ate opposted to government
ownership of railroads; but we favor
and will enforce laws providing for
rigid and just control.
“While the present contract for the
lease of the state’s convicts has not ex
pired, its approaching termination de¬
mands the consideration of this grave
public question and we pledge the
democratic party to take such steps as
will enable the states when this ques¬
tion does arrive, to dispose of the con
viets in such rnannef as to secure them
proper treatment and impose upon
them legal punishment without their
becominff a burden to the taxpayers of
the state and without permitting them
to come in competition with free labor.
“Recognizing that the education of
the people is necessary and to the elevation
of the citizen to the maintenance
and preservation of free government,
the democratic party obligates itself to
maintain its system of common schools
for the the education of all the chil
dren of the state in the elementary
branches of an education free, and to
continue to improve the same and in¬
crease the fund as rapidly ns the finan¬
cial condition of tho people will per¬
mit.
“Obedience to law is the first duty
of a citizen; a faithful, speedy and
impartial administration is the highest
duty of the state, and we condemn
every form and species of mob vio¬
lence and lynch law, and appeal to
citizens of every class and condition
to assist in their prevention and pun¬
ishment.
“We congratulate the entire coun¬
try upon the repeal, by this congress,
of the federal election laws and now
urge upon that honorable body the ne¬
cessity for a speedy enactment of the
pending tariff bill in such form ns will
insure for it the united support of all
democrats, in both branches of con¬
gress, and its approval by a democrat¬
ic executive.
“Wo especially commend the presi¬
dent and the house of representatives
and the senators from Georgia for
their patriotic endeavors to have en¬
acted, as near as possible, a tariff for
revenue only.
RESOLUTIONS SUBMITTED.
“In addition to this platform,”
continued Air. Cabauiss, “the com¬
mittee submits these resolutions,
which, form:” aro separate from the plat
The resolutions he then read, ns fol
i lows.
“Resolved, That we tender the
president our special thanks for calling
to to his ms camnei cabinet an an eminent eminent Gonvfnnn Vxeorgian,
who, m the discharge of his arduous
duties as secretary of the interior, has
rendered invaluable services to the
people of the country at large, and
awakened the particular pride of his
fellow citizens of Georgia.
“We have an abiding faith in the
courage, wisdom, honesty ahd patriot¬
ism of President C'eveland and ap¬
preciate the difficulties confronting his
_sdmii«- m /u it* fforts t<‘ ydy
the ex il effects of republican' misruiu
and extravagance.
“Resolved, That the democratic cx
ecutive committee of the state be and
is hereby clothed with the power of
ordering primary elections or mass
meetings as the county executive com
mittees may determine, for governor
and state house officers, on the same
day throughout the state, under such
regulations as said state convention
may prescribe.
All of the features of the platform
were cheered. Air. Berner then moved
the adoption of tho platform and the
resolutions accompanying them.
“And on that,” said Hon.W. E. Sim¬
mons, who was a member of tho com¬
mittee, “I call for the previous ques¬
tion.” The call was sustained and the
main question was then ordered. And
when the question was put they were
adopted without a dissenting voice. A
motion to adjourn was carried with
great unanimity.
The convention had finished its la
bors.
A WHOLE TOWN DESTROYED.
The City of Phillips, Wis., Wiped Out
by Forest Fires.
Thirty-nine buildings out of seven
hundred stand amid smoke and ashes
on the site of what was a few days ago
the flourishing city of Phillips, the
county seat of Prince county, Wiscon¬
sin, and one of the wealthiest and
most prosperous of all the towns in
the timber regions of the state, and
3,000 persons are homeless and except
those who have been offered shelter in
the neighboring towns, whose people
will themselves pass a sleepless night
through the fear that the fierce fires
raging in the forests on all sides will
sweep away their homes at any hour.
At leaat thirteen persons are known
to have lost their lives. All the dead
were drowned in Elk Lake while trying
to escape from the fire, except an na
known man, whose body was found in
the ruins of the house of F. W. Sackett,
editor of the Phillips Times.
The property loss can not at this
time be accurately estimated, but it
will reach at least $1,250,000. The
immense plant of the John R. Davis
Lumber company is a total loss,
amounting to between $500,000 and
$000,000. On this property there is
an insurance equal to at least four
fifths of the value of the plant. Of
the rest of the city about half of the
property was insured. Alany of the
poorer people carried no insurance on
their homes, and they have lost every¬
thing. fine
There were many business
blocks and private residences in the
city, and every one was burned to the
ground. Alany of the residences
upward of $3,000 and were
for a city of this size.
CHINA BUYING PROVISIONS.
The Government Making
for an Extensive War.
Adviess from London state that
glish vessels now in port unable to se¬
cure charters will be loaded with flour
at the owners’ risk and 6ent to China.
An order has been placed with a
ning company for 15,000 tons of can¬
ned beef, for the same market.
Rio Janeiro, which sailed a few
ago, took out a large cargo of flour,
did the two proceeding steamers.
Chinese merchants admit that
country is stocking up with provisions.
IHh GOLD IS MISSING.
A Keg Containing $50,000 Mysterl
eusty Disappears,
A dispatch received in Wall street,
New York, Tuesday, from Paris, ro
ported the loss of‘a keg containing
$50,000 in gold, which was part of an
amount of §2,900,000, shipped from
New York on La Tonrainc July ‘21st.
The firms shipping the gold that day
were La2ard & Frerer, $2,000,000, and
Hiedelback, Ieklekeimer A Co., $500,
000. According to the dispatch the
gold was taken from the $2,000,000
lot, as only thirty-nine kegs, each con¬
taining $50,000, reached Paris on that
consignment. The gold is suspected
to have been lost or stolen between
Havre and Paris.

dren. Mothers have repeatedly told mo of its
good effect upon their children.”
Dr. G. C. Osoood,
Lowell, Mass.
« Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in¬
stead of the various quack nostrums which arc
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves.”
