TO ST. IXPCIS.
The delegates to the Atlanta
vention were selected at the
House yesterday and placed on a
square Democratic platform, snd
those who have advocated tariff
form—not only for Cleveland, but
lor Colquitt and Stewart. With
these resolutions and upon this plat¬
form the New* stands squarely, and
is rejoiced that its views have been
voiced so ihoroajjbiy and so unani¬
mously. Whether they have been
because of its teachings, or from
what cause, matters not. It is prin¬
ciples that we look alter, and not
causes so much as results.
But yesterday’s convention is but
the beginning. The Atlanta con-
ention ou the 9th ini t. is to accom¬
plish the end. That end is to send
good Democrats and tariff reformers
to the St. Lon is convention in
June.
If we have aout representative
Democrats irora Spalding county to
the Stale convention—and we have
sent good ones -then from among
these should be chosen one to repre-
ent us at St. Louis. Let us give
tte other end of the district one—
and none better could be sent than
Col. Emmett Womack, of
let us allow Atlanta the delegate at
large—and she will certainly claim
.t - there is nothing left then but to
give this end of the district a repre¬
sentative—and where could a
representative be found than
W. E. II. Searcy?
We have been opposed to Mr.
Searcy in one or two campaigns—
though never when he was the
tentative of the Democratic
and we have said some as hard
as could he said about him.
never have we said anything that
had cause to regret, or that couldaj
low anyone to throw up the charge
of inconsistency against us for sup
porting him now.
Mr. Searcy is a puro man, a good
man, and we believe has considered
himself and tried to be a true Demo
crat. His honesty of purpose and
sincerity of conviction no man has
questioned. We do not believe that
he aspires to the position, but who
could fill it better? A- the direct
and unequivocal antagonist of over
one half of the party in this county-
on certain questions, yet that same
portion of the party would be glad
to accept him as their representative.
Why should this bo so? Simply this,
that Mr. Searcy is regarded by every
one who knows him as a gentleman
who could not tmtrftf a trust: and
he has said in bis paper repeatedly
that he is in favor uf the resolutions
of the convention, that he ts fur Cleve
land and tariff reform—and these are
the main purposes of tbe St. Louis
convention. More than this, and
much more: he has said, that he is op
posed to any movement whatever
that might this year antagonize the
Democratic party. Although a pro
hihitionist and a leader of the prohi
bitionists, he not only does not go
int o any “third party” movement but
does not hesitate instantly to oppose
such u movement. Asa Democrat in
u year when Democratic success is es
sential, he proposes to support the
Demon a to party !r m I resident
dow it to Sherifi.
Mr. Searcy has no axe to grind.
He does not want to go to St. Louis
for any purpose of his own, and we
do act know that he wants to go at
JltSSES
Georgia without t mharrassing
•elf or bit friends.
that any man might seek, and
no man shonld refuse. In a very
cent article be has intimated that
has been as ostracized on account
certain honest convictions that
not altogether accord with these
bis friends in the party; let ns
that as a national and reunited
these intimations arc totally
and that we weald be very glad
see Spalding County and the
Congressional District honored
his selection as a delegate to the
tional convention at St. Louis.
I here’* Death ia the Pot.
The countenance which the
publican party turns upon the
try at this time is sinister
and ominous of a future which
very little to irradiate it.
Ingalls' sneer and Sherman's
there are, in indeed, many
and varying degrees of
but all, ail are lowering; the
stare of Harrison making a
background for the scared smile
Allison; the furtive glance of
ley playing bo-peep with (he
choly smirk of Evarts; and
beating a tarantelle on the
drum, and Halstead burning
behind the flag; and the
half expectant faces of Depew,
ford and Gresham lookuig
down from the gallery upon
and Frye dancing the
Uorrpipe as if it were a dead
A lurid scene, truly, yet full
gloom. One can easily see that
there’s death in the pot, or
there would be if there were any
to hold it, more’s the pity.
Alack the day! And where, oh
where, is the Wallenstein that shall
arise and with creative wand
mate the spirit of the
braves and assemble forces in
desolate camp? Yonder, beyond
multitudinous sea, some
by the frer.zy of the Robber
others made incarnadine by
washing of the Bloody Shirt:
others yet in awful calm,

is not another Plumed Knight.
The Republican party has its
in the trenches, just like the
crutic party—no such boys as
boys, to bo sure, but still a
lively set—nnd they are solid,
solid ns the Solid South, for
tattooed giant of their dime
urn—
“Where "or he roves on ocean, mount
TheL plain, heart*, unfailing, fondly turn
r
Blame.”
Shall they prevail.' -That
as the French say. But, let us
sidt-r this question seriously,
without further quibble or ado.
Precisely the same tactics are
ing employed to defeat tbe
nati>» of Mr. IMaine as were
ployed to defeat the renomination
Mr Tilden. Like Mr. Tilden,
Blaine is out of the race. Yet
enemies persist m claiming that
withdrawal was a sham and to
this point against him they are
ly proclaiming him a very sick man.
Here we have a recurrence to the ex
perienco had by the country in Mr.
Tilden’y easo. Every few days a
of-a-gun from nowhere turns up and
rushes into paint with positive
mation on the subject. It only needs
that some recognized friend of Mr.
Blaine should write a letter giving an
account in detail of tiie Plumed
Right's recreations abroad and show
ing that he enjoys his holiday,
ea ^ s three square mea.s a day, to
| nod lbe ™6 thus 8 f *~S make oifi K the "Hit two fL<>ir in¬
to
entirely analogous.
But that sort of thing did beat
Tilden and we think it will beat
Blaine. Mr. Reid may ramble
the broad editorial pago of tbo
bune and give out tbe
that no one can get as many votes
bis favorite, und Mr. Gilliam
draw etroug cartoons in tbe
depicting his absent hero as a Titan
among pigmies. But when the
prime momnterd comes in
Convont ; ou , the pigmies, forewarned
forearmed, will be
enc , t |gL jo resist the storm, and
when it breaks it will disclose—as in
18S0—what Air. Cockling called
"the brilliant insufficiency of
306.“
Then what? Why, then a renew
Dtpew
j seem# to us that the President of the
York Central ta the coming
man. He is able and popular. He
| has a barb He is offensive to none
j of the factions. He, if any one, can
! unite the party. He, if any ooe, can
carry New York. If be can not beat
Cleveland nobody can; and *o, we
are disposed to put something en
Depew, as the turfmen say, “for a
place.” ^
But, il nominated, will Depcw
turn out a Polk or Pierce to the Re
publicans? We think not. It seems
written in the book of fate that
Cleveland will succeed himself. Pres
identia! ns are not determined
by personal t siderations, but by or
ganized let .r.d moral forces. The
Republ; a party is grown to be
what old Storey used to call the Dern
ocratic party, “a putrid reminis
cence." It is the slave of obsolete
passions and a master only of fraudu
lent claims. It is doomed to die,
having outlived its usefulness. It
may come again, but not as a herald
of race war end hy. The Dera
cratic party presentative of
all that is good in the immediate fu
lure, and, for the present, no matter
whom the Republicans put up, it is
in to stay.—[Louisville Courier Jour
nab
Editor Pirttey, of l be Winsted
(Conn.) Pre retires from journal
ism without v nonsense. In his
‘valedictory' Lc . ays: “From the cus
ternary leave-takiDgs of the public,
with hypocritical laudation and
cheap thanks for ‘generous patron
age,' I must be excused. I thank
the public for nothing. It has bad
ample return for all it has doDe for
me, and I give it a quit claim for all
that 1 have done for it.”
Twenty six ol the twenty eight
Georgia counties which have selected
delegates to the State convention
have declared for tariff reform. This
almost unanimous acti*n indicates
that Georgia Democrats have not
been deceived by the attempts to
lead them helpless into the Republi
can camp.—[Telegraph.
Judging only by what happened at
the court house yesterday, it now
stands twenty seven in twenty nine.
Little by little the rights of the
press are being enlarged and defined.
In a recent libel suit against the
Wapakoneta (0.) Democrat, the
court ruled that tbe words “liar.”
“political traitor” “recalcitrant 11
and “nincompoop,” are not libelous.
We have pasted them in the front of
our dictionary, and shall feci free in
using them as occasion demands.
The Constilut on’s promise to be
a good little boy does not entitle its
editor to a t’cket to a seat in the St.
Louis circus. Almost any kid will
promise reform jus’ before tit? spank
j ing begins.
i The Constitution on Sunday came
down and acknowledged tbe hopeless
ness ot fighting the Democratic parly
of Georgia. Now let W. R. Hanlti
ter do (lie same and the rank-, will be
solid.
Rockdale Democrats endorsed not
only tariff reform but everybody who
favors tariff reform, including Judge
Stewart.
