The oitizens of Webster county, Ga., are requested to meet in Pres ton on Tuesday the 5th day ot August next, at 10 o'clock, for the purpose of selcoting delegates to meet in Atlanta on the 13th of August, for the purpose of nomi nating candidates for Governor and State Houso officers, and to Helect the Democratic candidates for presidential electors.

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. Third Day. CHICAGO CONVENTION. of Cleveland. Gov.

Motion to adjourn till 8 p. in. here made and carried. 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 Ciiicaoo, July 10,10 A.

He u 'I I 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 fun In Naat’s political sketches. 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 proving ion much. no lax, direct or indirect, can be imposed upon the people except to meet expenses of government. 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. Ciiicaoo, 10.40 a. m.—Conven tion assembling, immense crowd. It is said that{Iowa delegates have changed from Cleveland, 4 going to Thurman and 2 to Bayard. Randall developing good deal of strength this morning. Conven tion called to order at 11:05. First business in order is completion of call states for presentation of can didates. Committee on resolutions still in session, no decision reached yet. It is thought that a ballot will not be reached to-day. Mr. Harrison rose to question of privilege.{Wish ed to denounce the assertion of Cochran, of N.

Committee on resolu tions scut in communication not ready to report, not probably be able to report before 7 p. in. 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 also wants a tax of $2 placed on every dog. Jl.
