All eyes were turned to tho Convention
at Cincinnati. The pulse of the people
• quickened with emotion, and the great
heart of the nation throbbed with anxious
suspense while the deliberations were be
ing conducted. All felt that a great crisis
•was reached in our historj”. Tho public
’ lias not been disappointed. Prudence,
'■wisdom, and noble patriotism have prevail
ed, and the Convention, in giving to the
country the names of General V\ in fluid S.
Hancock, of Pennsylvania, and Hon. Wil
liam 11. English, of Indiana, as the nomi
nees for the Presidency and Vice-Presiden
cy, has discharged a high and patriotic
duty which meets with a storm of enthusi
asm and applause. All over tlio, country
i camions are booming in honor ol the
event, and the glnd shouts of our people
are making the welkin ring in heart-felt
approval. We believe that the bugle horn
of victory has been sounded. We believe
that under the talismanic and historic
'name of Hancock the country will march
on to success. The ticket of Hancock and
English presents to the people of America
i the exponents of a national principle
against Garfield and Arthur, the expo
nents of a sectional principle. The ticket
, presents to the voters of this country two
• of the purest and most untarnished names
in our history, against two who arc be
smirched and under bans of suspicion.
The name of Garfield, the hero of the
Credit Mobilicr Swindle, pales into gloom
in contrast with the brilliant name of Han
cock. characterized by a life of nobility
and purity of character. The military
record of Garfield sinks into nothingness
when contrasted with the proud record of
Hancock, who wore the brv r htest sword in
the Union army from (he first roar of the
cannons till near the close of the war,
when wounded at Petersburg. And the
• civil record of Garfield, the waver of the
bloody shirt, and the hitter maligner of
■ the Southern people, produces a feeling of
revulsion on the part of every brave hero
when compared with the noble position of
the gallant Hancock, who, when the war
was over, amidst the excitement of those
stormy times had the courage to declare
and practically maintain that the military
power should be subordinated to the civil
law.
By the nomination of Hancock and Eng
lish the olive tree is planted that is to
grow up and flourish and stand forth, the
lleaven-blessed token that war passions
are over; all discordant factions arc heal
. ed, and a great and reunited country is
marching on to power, greatness, and pros
perity, while the brave boys in gray with
their swords turned into pruning hooks,
are rallying in solid phalanx under the
streaming banner of u brave and generous
Union General. The ticket is certainly a
splendid one, and its selection on the part
of our delegates was glory enough for one
day. James Buchanan was the last Dein
-ocratic President, lie was a Pennsylva
nian. It is eminently fit and proper that
after twenty long years of war, discord
and misrule, Pennsylvania's pure, gifted
and patriotic son should prove the valiant
Ivanhoe of our redemption, and again bear
the oi l banner to gallant victory. And
in doing this, there arc bright hopes that
Pennsylvania, under the leadership of her
honored son, will again resume her proud
■position as the keystone in the Democratic
arch.
Ik there is one plank in the Democrati ■
platform adopted at Cincinnati that strikes
our fancy more than another, it is that re
stricting Chinese immigration to this coun
try. If we don’t cheese it they will Chi
nese it in less than 2-> years.

One of the grandest and masterly nets of
Mr. Tildcn’s life was his letter to the New
York delegation oil tho eve of tho Cincin
nati Convention. Mr. Tilden towered up
to the grand height ol lofty anil unblem
ished patriotism. Being the candidate who
led the Democratic party to victory in the
last race, but who was defrauded of the
fruits of that victory by a proceeding un
paralleled in the history of our Govern
ment, he has since been the acknowledged
leader of his party. And being so situ
ated. a large portion ol tbc American peo
ple hoped to sec the great fraud of 1870,
which stifled for a time the free voice of
our people, sternly rebuked in 1880 under
the leadership of the old ticket of 'I ilden
and Hendricks. But On account of the
discordant condition of New York for
some time past, and which resulted in the
defeat last fall of Governor Robinson, it
had become apparent that the nomination
of Mr. Tilden might endanger the success
of the Democratic party by losing New
York. In this view of the question, Mr.
Tilden would not suffer a wrangle to take
place in the Convention, but with dignity
and patriotism, ho asked to be relieved
from the leadership of The party. He
thus left the way clear and open. Mr.
Tilden’s letter is a great state paper, and
will add greatly to his fame. It is, indeed,
as we havo said, the grandest net of Mr.
Tilden’s life. It was the cause of the great
harmony that prevailed at Cincinnati, and
the nomination of General Hancock on the
second ballot. If Mr. Tilden had entered
the lists as a candidate before the Cincin
nati Convention, he would either have been
nominated or tied the Convention—proba
bly the latter—and very disastrous conse
quences resulted therefrom. No carping
critic should censure Mr. Tilden in this
grand act. It has already produced re
sults that are causing the American heart
to rejoice all over the land, and Mr. I ilden
steps from the public trestle-board with
the spjendid record of a statesman and ;*
patriot". He goes, too, with honorable
dignity and the grateful love of his fellow
countrymen.

Tiik people in every section of Georgia
look to the Atlanta Constitution for the
latest news—and they get it. The copy
that comes to this oflico looks as limp as a
scalded collard leaf after it runs the gaunt
let. It should have more paying readers
in this town. Nevertheless, our friends
are weAeome lo rejA it.
A Cobhrsposdent writing from Wash
ington to the Atlanta Constitution says:
“ Mr. Stephens is as watchful as he was
thirty years ago, and never lets an oppor
tunity pass to serve a Georgian when it is
in his power. He is a great favorite of the
young, and grows gloomy if his room is
not often lighted by the radiant face of
youth. It would move the envy of any
sensible man to sec the young ladies crowd
ing around and kissing him, as they al
ways do. 1 would I were Alexander H.
Stephens.”
Greenville (S. C.) News : “Captain W.
•J. Houston. General Passenger and Ticket
Agent of the Air-Line Railroad, is a South
Carolinian—a native of the grand old comi
ty of Abbeville. We are proud to know
that he is a Carolinian, and Abbeville may
justly tilt her head a little higher when
she learns that in her county this excel
lent gentleman first drew the breath of
life.”
The above reminds us of an incident
'which occuned during the last rebel war :
We were on the Georgia Railroad train
which was just about leaving Augusta,
when a rebel Captain walked up to a lady
on a seat near us, and said : “ Mary, do
you know that these Georgians claim Gen.
Longstreet? They say he was born in
Georgia.” Mary replied : “ Charlie, that
makes no difference; Jesus Christ was
born in a stable, but that did not make
him a horse.” It isn't the State where a
fellow was born that makes the gentleman,
but the State that takes him up when tal
ent and worth arc discovered and stands
by him until he looms up a great man.

Mk. Emtok : A few days since it was
my good fortune to he in the beautiful town
of Elbcrlon. and to be present at the com
mencement exercises of the Andrew .Male
High School, located at that place. Rev.
•). 11. Baxter, pastor of the Klberton Meth
odist church, delivered the commencement
sermon. 11is text was happily chosen, and
a very appropriate sermon, which delight
ed the audience, was the result. His ser
mon was an able argument in favor of re
ligious education. He is a man of deep
thought, possesses a tine flow of language
and is a good speaker.
The examination in Andrew High School
came off on Monday afternoon, and was
quite creditable to the people of that insti
tution.
Prof. Wright is a man of fine culture,
possessing those rare qualifications that fit
him so well for the responsible position lie
occupies as an instructor of youth, lie is
the Wright man in the Wright place. Ho
and his able assistant certainly deserve a
better patronage than they have yet re
ceived from the “Elbcrton District.”
The programme for Monday night and
Tuesday morning was declamation by the
boys and young men of the school, inter
spersed with music by the Elberton Band.
It lias been my privilege to witness
many similar exhibitions, yet I have never
before seen pupils generally acquit thetn
selve more honorably in declamation.
The Elberton Band greatly enhanced the 1
enjoyment of the occasion by its rich flow
of embanting music. Such music is soul
inspiring— thrilling the heart with delight
and rousing the nobler impulses of our
inward naturo.
Elberton’s outlook for business’ is good.
.Several strong firms are in business al
ready and others are preparing to begin
business there.
From the numerous buggy drives, the
billing and cooing, the gallanting and woo
ing. it is reasonable to conclude Hint there
will soon be a revival under tWfc head of
new business ; that there will he copart
nerships formed more lasting than those of
the mercantile world.
The galaxy of beautiful faces that gruccd
the occasion certainly furnished a rare
feast for all admirers of the beautiful and
lovely in nature.
Elbcrton has long held a high seat in my
estimation, but I will now say Elbcrton,
•*go up higher.” Lend.
Haunted Me.
Debt, poverty and suffering haunted me
for years, caused by a sick family and
large bills for doctoring, which did no
good. I was completely un
til one year ago. by the advice of my pas
tor. I procured Hop Bitters and commenc
ed their use; and in one month we were all
well, and none of us have been sick a day
since; and 1 want to say to all poor men,
you can keep your families well a year
with Hop Ritters for less than one doctor’s
visit will cost. —A Workingman?
