The Populist Party Hidden Un
der Prohibition Frills.
WRIGHT FOR GOVERNOR.
lie Makes (lie Whole Platform out of
Prohibition Planks.—The Ticket.
Doings of the Convention.
Atlanta. Ga . Aug. 7.—Hon. Seaborn
Wright of Floyd county was nominat
ed for governor by acclamation by the
populist state convention to day.
The full tick’d is as follows:
Governor —Seaborn Wright of Floyd.
/Secretary of State —TANARUS). J. A. Parsons
of Milton.
Treasurer —W. C. Sibley of Rich
mond.
Attorney General —Donald 11. Clark
of Chatham.
Controller General —Seaborn J. Bell
of Burke.
Commissioner of Agriculture—W.
E. Smith ofJPecatur.
The platform, which was made to
suit the brilliant young prohile lionist
who was chosen to lend the populists
hosts, makes the anti-barroom crusade
the main issue of the campaign. The
prohibition plank is as follows:
“Civilization, to say nothing of relig
ion, lum entered upon the judgement
of condemnation against barrooms.
Tile public couseienco revolts at the
license system which allows the saloon
and generates its manifold evils, in
consideration ot revenue that pays less
than a tithe of the public burdens it
entails. It is non-American, monop
olistic and essentially immoral. We,
therefore, declare for an anti barroom
law which shall make secure the local
prohibition already obtained, abolish
the beverage sale of intoxicating li
quors, and provide for the sale for oth
er purposes under public control.
The plans of the populist managers
went through without a bubble. They
set out to make the liquor question
the issue of the campaign, and they
eu weeded. They wete determined to
name as the head of the ticket a man
who was new in populist councils and
m touch with the temperance element
of the state, believing that such n
candidate would not only command
the prohibition vote, hut also draw to
himself many dissatisfied democrats
to add to the regular populist strength,
which the leadersof that party Matter
themselves they could deliver to any
man they might name. In this they
w ie successful. Mr. Wright, while
always an independent in polities, lias
never allied himself with the popu
lists. On the contrary, two years ago
he refused the populist nomination
for congress in the Seventh district
although he would have been willing
to accept the endorsement of that par
ty as an independent democrat. He
is a prohibitionist of such intense
ideas that lie has always been regard
id as a fanatic on the subject by his
neighbors.
In his speech accepting the nomi
nation to-day he placed that issue
above all others and assumed the atti
tude more of the leader of amor
al campaign than of a political battle.
All the other planks of the platform
arc of secondary consideration to him
as compared with that declaring
tgainst barrooms. He will pitch his
campaign upon that issue to the ex
clusion of all else, and will undertake
to rally all the moral inti nonces of the
state, regardless of party affiliation to
liis standard.
The populists are enthusiastic over
the nomination as a rule. Col. \\ .L.
Peek and M. 1). It win, who represent
ed the middle of the road spirit are,
however, in the sulks. They fought
the idea of prohibition fiercely, first,
when it w as proposed to nominate Ur.
Gambrel!, and then again in the plat
form committee. At one time it look
ed as if they would succeed and pro
hibition would at least be left out of
the platform.
A deadlock, or minority report, was
imminent. Then lion. Tom Watson
was sent for. and went in the commit
tee room, and as lie has always done,
forced the recalcitrants back to the
level of harmony, and the prohibition
scheme was evolved without a flaw.
Democratic leaders generally regard
the work of the convention with more
than passing concern. They recog
nize that there is fighting ahead with
the liquor traffic, as the rallying cry of
the campaign, though little fear is felt
for the final result. One of the uota
hie things about the convention was!
the small number of negro delegates ■
in attendance as compaied to former |
populist convections. Democrats,
view this as an indication that the ne
gro vote will go almost solidly for At
kinson, thereby cutting oil a great
portion of the strength. 'J he negro
delegates present voted solidly for
Wright and C. H. Walton, the negro
leader of Augusta, pledged the suje
port of sixty per cent of the negroes of
Georgia to Wright. He predicted
that the all white electorial vote of
the republicans would drive the negro
republicans into the populists ranks.
The populists, however, declare that
they are done with the negro. They
do not want him, and that is the rea
son lie was so scarce in evidence to-day.
A resolution was passed empower
i 'g the state executive committee ‘o
withdraw six of the populist electors
and substitute six democrats at any
time that Mr. Bewail should he with
drawn from the Chicago ticket by the
democrats and Watson put in his
stead.
Bryan’s '.ip from Nebraska to New
York was one grand ovation.
Hon. vv. 11. Fleming lias been
unanimously nominated for congress
in the Tenth district to succeed Major
Black.
Bourkc Cochran has been selected
by the gold standard demo-republicans
to answer Bryan’s Madison Square
Garden speech.
A Bryan club, composed of demo
crats, republicans and populists, has
been organized at Canton, Ohio, Mc-
Kinley's home. This i> bearding the
lion in his den, as it were.
A protest against the proposed in
terference of the railroads with the
free exercise of the voting privilege by
their employees is heard all over the
land. They threaten to discharge all
those who refuse to vote for McKinley
and Hobart.
The w ire for the telephone line to
McDonald’s Mill lias nearly all been
put up. and connections will probably
he made next Friday. The line is to
be extended on to Douglas. The tele
phone company will also commence
work on a line to Fitzgerald in a few
days, 'flic outside of town connec
tions now are Duke, waresboro and
Strickland's Mill. It will not be
a great while before wayeross will
have an almost perfect telephone con
nection with all its neighboring
towns, —Herald.
Sunday morning at 11 : to, Professor
Skelton Palmer Sanford, L. L. D, died
in the eighty first year of his age at
his residence on College street. Macon,
after a few days illness. Professor
Sanford was the author of a series of
arithmetics which have a national
reputation and a very extended circu
lation both North and South. He
wrote four arithmetics, to wit: San
ford’s “Higher Anylitieal Arithmetic,”
which was published in 1870, and this
was followed by a "Primary," an “I n
teimediate” and “Common School
Arithmetic,” making a series of four
books. During the year 1579 Prof.
Sanford puplished also an elementary
algebra for schools and academies,
which has also secured a wide circula
tion, and soon after its publication was
adopted hv the .state hoard of educa
tion of North Carolina for live years
He had for years received a handsome
royalty from these publications, and in
his old age he was not without a com
petency.
We take the following account iof
the riot at Manor, Ware county, from
the Savannah News:
Wayeross, Ha.. Aug. 10.—Four white
citizens of Manor, fourteen miles south
west of Wayeross. ou the Alabama
Midland, were arrested this morning
by Sheriff Miller and Deputy Sheriff
Anderson, charged with rioting yes
terday at Manor. They gave bond
and were released. The men were
drunk.it is said, and have borne a
good reputation. They kept tiie town
of Manor in a state of excitement yes
terday, shooting recklessly through
doors and windows of houses with re
volvers. Happily, the houses that
were shot at had been vacated, and no
person was hurt. The conservative
citizens did not regard the men as
dangerous, it is -aid. hut they called
upon Constable Lloyd to arrest them.
The constable attempted the arrest,
but lie was overpowered. He was
made captive and was tied for a short
period to a post, while the men kept
tp their mischief until the eonserva
i live men of the place secured order.
