In the adoption of any system of

S. Simons Convention.
The Congressional convention met
in the parlor of the St. Simons Hotel
at St. Simons Island last Thursday
with a full delegation, every county
in the district being represented ex
cept Dodge and Echols. These two
counties refused to participate in the
Convention because they advocated
free silver and they knew theconven
tioa would base a large majority
for sound money. Other silver coun
ties were net so arbitrary however, and
the convention hud a number of free
silver delegates.
E. P. S. Denmark of Valdosta was
chairman of the convention and F. E.
Tvvitty was secretary.
The convention was a harmonious
one in every particular and there
seemed to he two leading thoughts
that swayed the entire body,—regret
that Mr. Turner had retired, and a de
sire that Mr. Brantley should succeed
him.
A number of spccchees were made
in the convention, the most notable
of which were those of Judge Sweat,
E. D. Graham and Jno. 0. McDon
ald. Mr McDonald nominated Mr.
Brantley in eloquent words and the
applause for some minutes was deal
cuing.
Resolutions were passed as follows :
By Mr. Bennett of Glynn :
“Whereas: —We the Democratic
Convention assembled for the pur-
pose of nominating a Deinoc.iatie esn
didate from the Eleventh Congress
ional district, in the next National
Congress have learned with deep
and profound regret that the Hon.
Henry G. Turner, who lias so faith
fully and ably represented this dis
trict in the last three Congresses, can
not consent to again serve this district
in that capacity. Therefore be it
Resolved that we hereby unquali
fiedly endorse his course as our rep
resentative in Congress as wise pa
triotic and Democratic.
Resolved : That we hereby tender
to him tho sincere and grateful thanks
from the people of this district for hi.-
faithful representation of their inter
est.”
By Mr. Dalny of Johnson :
“Resolv and: That we reaffirm our
allegiance to the present existing
Democratic platform and especially
that portion which declares for sound
currency, hut believing and holding
that our national platform is the or
ganic law of our party as loyal Dem
ocrats. we will abide the action of the
National Democratic Convention
which assembles in Chicago next
month.”
By Mr. Graham of Telfair :
Resolved : That the calling of this
Convention to meet on the 18 of this
month, by tho Democratic Executive
Committee of this congressional dis
trict is hereby ratified and approved.
When questioned about his nomi
nation Mr Brantley said:
"The left r of Mr. Turner declining
to become a candidate, so quickly
followed by the nomination of myself,
is all so sudden and unexpected that
1 have not had time to calmly think
about it. or to inlcT gently gras.) the
full significance of all that the nomi
nation may mean, both to the party
and myself lam hardly prepared at
this time to discuss the matter or to
make a statement. It would hardly
he proper to do so, anyway, as 1 have
no formal notice of the nomination.
1 cannot forego the opportunity, how
ever, of giving some expression to the
personal feelings that now possess
me. For those kind friends, who
today have given such loyal proof of
their interest and partially, 1 shall al
ways cherish the warmest and richest
sentiments of a grateful appreciation ;
for the expression of confidence and
trust in me, that this nomination im
! plies, 1 have not at my command the
language in which to measure the
| high value 1 place upon it.”
Russians are fond of telling the
story of the answer given to the em
peror when his majesty proposed to
his future wife. “The emperor, my
father, has commanded me to make
you the offer of my hand and heart”
was the czarcwiteh’s quaint way of
putting it. “And my grandmother,
the queen,” replied the lady, “has com
manded me to accept the offer of your
hand : your heart 1 will take myself.”
It is said on good authority, that the
emperor is passionately devoted to
his wife, and that she is equally fond
of him.
The new watch is to have a phon
ograph cylinder hidden away, and at

side will whisper the hour.
