The following editorial from the
Columbus Enquirer-Sun shows how
the people of Columbus regard the
Amcileus, Preston and Lumkiu
railroad, and how they feel about
losing the trade of the territory
through which the road runs:
The )>eople of Stewart county
will have a grand railroad rally and
barbeoue to-morrow, to which the
citizens of the adjoining counties
have been invited. This invitation
lias been cordially extended to the
citizens of Columbus, as well as to
the people of Cuthbcrt, between
wliiob ojties a railroad project is
now pending. It is hoped that a
large delegation of Coliimbusites
will meet and niinglo with tlioso of
Stewart county, and ifitdoes noth
ing more it will show our people
bow much in earnest they arc
about a railroad. They hare de
termined upon tills and will put
their money into the enterprise.
This means that the days are past
wlicii they will haul their cotton
over rough wngon roads thirty-six
miles to get to markot. And who
can lilamo them? Tills road Is not
to come In the direction of Colum
bus, but this la not tho fault of the
people of Stewart county. Thoy
have made {efforts to secure the
co operation of tho people if Colum
bus, but did not meet with tangible
evidenco that offered assurance of
success. They turned their atten
tion in nnolbcr direction and the
indications are favorable that ere
long the whistle of the engine will
resound through the hills and dales
of Stewart county.
Of all the trading scolion that
comes to Columbus none could be
more doslrcd than that of the coun
ties south of us. The city received
a severe blow when for a few thous
and dollars tho trade ol Marion,
Schley and Webster counties was
diverted In another direction. To
lose the trade of Stowart, a part of
Chattahoochee and the sec'ions be
low will be seriously felt in every
branch of commerce in this city.
This condition of ailairs could bet
ter be reconciled if it were not the
fault of our own citizens. We Imvo
none but ourselves to censure and
even now it is not loo Into to reme
dy tho matter to a very great ex
tent. The people of Stewart are
anxious to remain in commercial
relations with us, and if the proper
means are used their entire influ
ence and aid could be obtained in
the construction of a road between
the two places. But this is some
thing that will admit of no delay.
This is not the first lime that we
have warned nnr people of the dan-
ger of delay in this matter, but to
morrow will probably be the last
op|K>rtunity that they will have for
retrieving lost fortunes. No one
will be so hazardous us to say that
Columbus can well nfiord to lose
the trade that the construction ot a
road from Lumpkin to Americus
would take away. Wlmt will they
do about it?
reported that they would not lie
able to complete their work before
to-morrow.
Tammany again attempted to
raise a row about the unit vote of
New York, but was promptly set
down upon.
The call of States for the nomi
nation of candidates for president
was then taken up.
Delaware presented the name of
Bayard, which was seconded by
Mississippi.
Gov. llcndiicks, presented the
name of McDonald, of Indiana,
which was seconded by Gen. Black,
of Illinois.
Mr. Brcckcnridge, ol California,
presented the name of Thurman, of
Ohio, which was seconded by Gen.
Durbin Ward, of Ohio.
J. A. McKenzie, of Kentucky,
presented the name of Carlisle.
Mr. Lockwood, of New York,
presented the name of Cleveland,
which was seconded by Carter Uar-
rison, of Illinois, and Mr. Jones,
of Minnesota. Grady and Coch
ran, ol New York, spoke against
the nomination of Cleveland.
The convention then adjourned.

We call attention to the letter of
Mr. O. B. Stevens in this issue of
the Kkcordkk. Mr. Stevens is one
of the foremost citizens of his sec
tion, and 1ms been identified for
long years with the best interests
of his place and people. His relia
bility is one ot the crowning vir
tues of his life, and in the various
positions of trust and honor that
he has held in the past be has been
found ever faithful in them all. In
the social, intellectual, religious,
commercial and agricultural inter
ests of his people Mr. Stevens has
ever held the first place,fand|hls peo
ple are ever glad to honor him.
Tho letter has the ring of the true
metal. Head it.
NO FENCE.
A "Boor Boy” ot Webster coun
ty wants the people of that county
to do away with the fences and
make every farmer keep up his
stock. He complains that under
the present system of fences they
arc no protection to crops and co9t
more to keep up than the crops are

The Republicans do not like tho
cartoons in Uarpois’ Weekly. It
does make n difference which side
of the fence one is on. This is the
llrst year wc ever could see any

Some disgusted Republican hav
ing accused Blaine of being a Cath-
alic, the priest at Augusta, Maine,
promptly denies the fact, and adds
that he does not consider Blaine a
III man to belong to any church.
There Is such a thing as a denial

Provides that necessaries of life
including tea and coffee, shall come
in free. The Tribune says that the
friends of Judge Field arc hard at
work and he stands well as dark
horse. Hewitt’s name is also men
tioned this morning. It is said a
member of Indiana and Western
men is in favor of bringing out
Hendricks after first ballot. Home
papers claim that Cleveland’s
strength Is wavering and Bayard
gaining. The general impression
to-night is that the situation will be
unchanged and{Cleveland will prob
ably get tlie nomination. The
Tribune puts him down for 397 on
first ballot; Bayard 147. The Times
says that Bayard is looming up,
and that Butler has withdrawn
from the contest nnd will support
Bayard. It’s estimate is Cleveland
350; Bayard, 192; McDonald, C3;
Thurman, 94, Carlisle, 26, others
scattering.

tion assembling, immense crowd.
It is said that{Iowa delegates have

to Thurman and 2 to Bayard.

tion called to order at 11:05. First
business in order is completion of

Committee on resolutions still in

It is thought that a ballot will not
be reached to-day. Mr. Harrison
rose to question of privilege.{Wish

Cochran, of N. Y., that galleries

Call began for completion of
presentation of candidates. C. II.
Moser, of Mo., took platform to
second nomination of Thurman.
When Moser named Thurman there
was conspicuous demonstration.
Delegates from Missouri said Mis
souri was not for Thurman, it was
for Cleveland. Another said it
was for Bayard. Both ruled out
of order. Ohio presents name ol
Hoadly by Powell. Powell listened
to attentively. Mention of Hoadly
elictcd much applause. When
Pennsylvania was called there was
considerable cheering. Senator
Wallace, of Pennsylvania, took the
platform to present Randall. Re
newed cheering. Wallace said the
man he named was known to all;
name connected with principal
events for many years. Abbott,
of N. J., second the nomination.
Jones, ol New Hampshire, asked
consent to second the nomination
