THE STATE ON VKJVTION.
Last week was a momentous week
in Georgia. It is an important event
in the political history of the State.
The Democrats met in convention
in Atlanta and nominated their stand
ard bearers in the coming State cam
paign.
It was the largest convention ever
held on Georgia soil—
It was the most representative con
vention ever witnessed in Atlanta—
It was the most enthusiastic con
vention ever held in Georgia's new
capitol—
It was the most harmonious, united
and determined body of men ever as
sembled together in convention.
Glorious reports were heard from
all over Georgia.
Democrats from the mountains of
North Georgia—
Democrats from Middle Georgia,
and—
Democrats from the Southern
borders of the State, all declare the
party was never in better condition
than it is to-day.
The boys from the wire-grass re
gion told us that what little Third
party they had two, years ago has
frazzled out. They tell us that this
great convention sounded its funeral
knell in that seotion of the Empire
State of the South.
Every county was represented at
the convention, and when the hands
of the clock pointed to the hour of 12,
on August 2d, standing room in the
Hall of Repreeentatives and its cor
ridors was at a prennam. And when
Chairman Fork's gavel sounded on the
marble in front of him, calling the
meeting to order, there was a hush—
a silenoe—until he had opened the
meeting in a pretty little speech, and
then the enthusiasm broke loose and
Democrats applauded.
The convention sel-cted as tempo
rary ohairman that soldier statesman
and jurist, Ex-Governor Jamas S.
Boynton. That brainy young Demo
crat of Cobb, Hon. A. S. Clay, was
selected as permanent chairman, and,
by virtue of that office, Chairman of
the DemocratitTExecutive Committee
of the State.
The convention transacted all the
details of convention work with
promptness and accuracy.
And when the time come for nomi.
nating the candidates, there was
unanimity, enthusiasm and Demo
cratic doctrine all concentrated to
gether.
Hon. W. Y. Atkinson of Coweta
was unanimously nominated for Gov
ernor. And when he was ushered in
to the Representative hall a wave of
applause swept over the whole house.
The applause lasted several minutes.
The Evans men applauded and the
Atkinson men applauded. The con
test was over and the party united
Mr Atkinson made a ringing speech
in accepting the nomination.
Hon. Allen D. Candler was then
put in nomination for Secretary of
State by that peerless and matchless
orator of Hall county, Judge J. B.
Estes. We never heard a speech
prettier, more eloquent or more
appropriate than was that of Judge
Estes in nominating the “One-Eyed
Plow Boy of Pigeon Roost” He
captivated the entire congregation of
Democrats, for when he began speak
ing there was a buzz all over the
house, but before he concluded silence
—absolute silence—reigned with the
great mass of congregated Democrats.
Colonel Candler was overwhelmingly
nominated.
R. U. Hardeman was unanimausly
nominated for Treasurer, W. A.
Wright for Comptroller General, J.
M. Terrell for Attorney General and
R. T. Nesbitt for OJliimissioner of
Agriculture.
The following splendid platform
was reported from the plarform com
mittee and was unanimously adopted
by the convention. Read it carefully
and compare it with the Populist
platform, and you will find that the
Democratic party is a party of princi
ples while the Third party is a party
devoid of principles. The platform
was read by Mr. H. H. Cabaniss:
“We, the representatives of the
Democratic party of Georgia, in con
vention assembled, declare our un
faltering 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 fund
araental principles of sound De
mocracy ; that the Federal govern
ment is one of limited powers derived
only from the constitution; determined
opposition to all centralizing tenden
cies ; a Btrict adherence to the 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 the constitu
tion to the Federal government; taxa
tion only for the purposes of govern
ment honestly administered ; gold and
silver, the money of the constitution,
as primary money; equal and exact
justice to all men, and the courageous
and faithful discharge of official du
ties.
“We denounce the socialistic, pa
ternal and centralizing ideas now
sought to be propagated in our midst
as dangerous and destructive heresies
which, if successful, would dethrone
liberty and enslave the people.
‘ ‘While it is true that only State
officers are to be nominated by this
convention, 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 contest, yet, we
ignore the fact that we are
deeply and vitally interested in those
National questions which can only be
solved by the Federal government
and which now challenge the earnest
attention and patient thought of every
patriot.
“We hereby approve of and 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 con
vention in 1892. and especially do we
insist upon those parts relating to the
1 tariff and currency. Upon the great
question of currency, we reiterate the
principles and purposes of our Na
tional platform, endorsed with such
unparalled unanimity by the people
in 1892, and urge upon our Senators
and Representatives in Congress, and
upon our President, a speedy repeal
of the prohibitory tax upon the issue
of State banks.
“We demand the immediate pas
sage of such legislation as will restore
silver 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 in 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
inaugurated and maintained by the
Democratic party and which has se
cured to the people of Georgia for so
many years the blessing of good gov
ernment.
“We are opposed to the govern
mental ownership of railroads, but
we favor and will enforce laws provid
ing for rigid and just control.
“While the present oontract for
the lease of the State's convicts has
not expired, its appaoaching termina
tion demands the consideration of thia
grave public question, and we pledge
the Democratic party to take such
steps as will enable the State, when
this question does arrive, to dispose
of the convicts in such manner as to.
secure them proper treatment and
impose upon them legal punishment
without their becoming a burden to
the taxpayers of the State and without
permitting them to come in competi
tion with free labor.
“Recognizing that the education of
the people is necessary to the elevation
of the citizen and to the maintenance
and preservation of free government,
the Democratic party obligates itself
to maintain its system of common
schools for the education of all the
children of the State in the elementary
branches of an education free, and to
continue to improve the same and
increase the fund as rapidly as the
financial condition of the people will
permit.
“Obedience to law is the first duty
of a citizen, a faithfall speedy and im
partial 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
necessity for the speedy enactment
of the pending tariff bill in such form
as will insure for it the united support
of all Democrats, in both branches of
Congress, and its approval by a Dem
ocratic executive.
“We especially commend the Presi
dent and the House of Representa
tives and the Senators from Georgia
for their patriotic endeavors to have
enacted, as near as possible, a tariff
for revenue only.”
“In addition to this platform,” con
tinued Mr. Cabaniss, “the oommittee
submits these resolutions, which are
separate from the platform. ”
The resolutions he then read, as
follows:
“Resolved, That we tender the
President our special thanks for call
ing to his cabinet an eminent Geor
gian, who, in the discharge of his
arduous duties as Secretary of the In
terior, 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 and pa
triotism of President Cleveland, and
appreciate the difficulties confronting
his administration in its efforts to
remedy the evil effects of Republican
misrule and extravagance.
“Resolved, That the Democratic
Executive Committee of the State be
and is hereby clothed with the
power of ordering primary elections
or mass meetings as the county Ex
ecutive Committees may determine,
for Governor and Statehouse officers,
on the same day throughout the State,
under such regulations as said State
convention may prescribe.”
That convention marked the begin
ning of the everlasting fall of Popu
lism in Georgia.
ALABAMA IN LINE.
The Democrats are in the saddle in
Alabama. They have their flags
hoisted high in the air and are bear
ing aloof their ensigns, on which are
inscribed the words, “Down with
Kolbism! Down with political hy
bridism ! Victory is ours! We have
vanquished the Populist God of
Alabama!”
On last Monday the election for
Governor was held in the State of
Alabama, and the one-armed hero of
Henry, the Hon. William C. Oates,
was elected Governor over Reuben F.
Kolb by about 26,000 majority. The
one-armed hero made great gains over
the election two years ago, for then
the Democrats carried the State by
only eleven thousand majority, but
this year their majority was more than
double what it was then. The victory
was complete and overwhelming, and
Reuben F. Kolb is buried forever.

There Is more Catarrh in thlß section ot the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
Incurable. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly falling to cure
with local treatment, pronounced It Incurable.
Sclenoe has proven Catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manu
factured by F. J. Cheney & Cos., Toledo, Ohio, is
the tnly constitutional cure on the market. It
Is taken Internally In doses from 10 drops to a

StrayDge —all men of ordinary intelli
gence, exceptional industry and re
markably good habits, but of small
means—enter into an association to
colonize —purchase and settle —a cer
tain thousand acre tract of land, for
the purpose of cultivating the same,
mining thereoD, merchandising among
themselves and their neighbors, and
of buying and selling and getting
gain, etc. Accordingly they bought,
and all moved in. They went faith
fully and diligently to work. To en
able them to make Buch improvements
and procure such supplies as seemed
indispensable, they gave a mortgage
upon the one thousand acres, that be
ing all the property belonging to any
of the copartners. From time to
time they managed to pay the interest
upon the mortgage. But finally the
mortgage itself was foreclosed, and
the fi. fa. issued thereon and levied on
their premises swept up their posses
sions clean. And, in consequence of
the contraction of values, or for some
reason, there is still due and unpaid
one-half the amount of that mortgage,
for which that fi. fa. still hangs ready
to pounce down upon every little ac
cession that may chance to fall to any
one of those parties.
Now such a state of affairs calls
loudly for relief —relief for the poor
mortgagee, whose land is gone for
half prioe, and relief for the unfortu
nate debtors, whose entire estate is
gone, leaving them in debt.
What relief can be had in such a
oase? Who shall grant relief? Mr.
Cleveland and the Democrats, of
course. Are they not bound to re
deem their party pledges? X.
“WE Demand.”
Mb. Editob: The ridicule which
attached to the little Alliance party,
alias Third party, alias Populist party,
alias Reform party, by their use of
the word “demand,” may be appre
hended, it would seem, by the great
unterrified Democratic party—at least,
by that portion of it represented by
the late Georgia gubernatorial conven
tion. That convention says:
“We demand” such legislation as
will insure the free and unlimited
ooinage, etc.
Again, “we demand,” etc.
Just here reconstructed Georgians
need to be reminded to “go slow.”
The style of address by a portion
of the party brethren of a single State
to the National authorities of forty
odd States ought, perhapp, to be, in
stead of imperative exaction, that of
polite request or petition.
Not so fast, young gentlemen.
