course. These men seek to prejudice the minds
of the members of the Legislature, in advance,
against some gentlemen who have been named
as suitable persons to preside over the Senate
and House of Representatives, respectively, in
order that they, themselves, or their favorites,
may come to the front with whatever advantage
these reports can give them.
We are in a position to know that there is
not one word of trnth in any of these reports,
and no foundation whatever for any snch re
ported programme. The leaders who are
charged with these designs have, we are as
sured, never entertained them or any other in
connection with the organization of the Legis'
latnre, calculated to divide and distract the
party. They know, as well as anybody, that
that is not the place for any wrangle over “new
departure,” or any other question about which
there may be difference of opinion inside the
party. An overwhelming majority of the party
demand that there shall be no tests set np for
candidates beyond the faot that they are Dem
ocrats, thoroughly honest, entirely capable, and
free from the slightest taint of affiliation or con
nection with Bullock or any of the “ring” in any
of the numerous jobs of his corrupt administra
tion. This is what the people want, and what
they command their representatives to give
them. And we have the best reasons for be
lieving that the leaders, aforesaid, have no do
signs more dangerons to the harmony of the
party or the welfare of the State than these.
These reportB can all be readily traced to in
terested sources, and we warn all whom it may
concern against allowing their minds to be
prejudiced and their judgments influenced, in

The Convention was invited by Mayor Huff
to visit the Fair Grounds, which invitation was
accepted and then adjourned to meet again at

1 EVENING session.
The Convention reassembled promptly at 3J
o’clock p. m., when the memorial to the Legis
lature of the select committee was read by sec
tions, and adopted after a few slight alterations
offi phraseology. The length of the memorial
precludes the publication in to-day’s issue, but
will appear to-morrow.
On motion of the Hon. Isaac Russell, of Sa-
vannab, it was resolved tbat all of the papers
of this State who were friendly to Firemen, be
ing newspaper and job office, at private sale,
for cash—he having fonnd the duties of the ed
itorial chair and the cares of proprietorship too
exhaustive of both mind and body, and requir
ing a change to some occnpation less laborious
and exciting. The Republican has always sus
tained a high rank among Southern journals,
and is the oldest newspaper in the Sonth, being
now in its seventieth year. It has a good pa
tronage, both as to its circulation and local and
general advertising, which, by a little effort,
may be largely increased. The job office is
well appointed and has a fine custom,
gether, to a man or company with means, a
proper distribution of labor, and go ahead vim,
no better newspaper prospect is offered.
We shall greatly regret to lose so able, ac
complished, and genial member of the brother
hood as is Mr. Sneed, bat we wish him a good
sale, and a full-heaped measure of prosperity
in whatever field he may select for future labor.
