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, through the pale moonlight, grim specter of disease and death There was but a single Ciesar. 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. j r ^ j - rz» Be Sure to Cet Hood’s j Sarsaparilla, my child.
