THE UKMUi:R*TIC CONVENTION
The Democratic party anil tlie
country generally is to lie congratu
lated upon the result of the labors
of the Democratic National Con
vention. It did its work wisely
and well. Its first act was a tri
umph of reform over rascality—the
setting down upon of John Kelly
and Tammany, who sought by
threats to control the notion of the
contention. It showed that the
Democratic party was not to be
ruled by a corrupt fashion and
would rather be defeated in the
right than to triumph in the wrong.
The second grealact—the adoption
of a platform before the nomina
tion of a candidate—showed that
the Democratic party was more
devoted to principles than men.
The third act—the nomination of
(lovernor Cleveland—allowed that
the party was determined that its
professions for reform should he
voiced tlirougkainau whose official
career was a guarantee of the hon
esty of-bls professions. The fourtli
act—the unanimous nomination of
Gov. Hendricks for the Vicc-l*resi
denoy—showed that the Democracy
had not forgotten the great fraud
of 1870, aud were determined to
right it so far us laid in their power.
The action of the convention was
that of a dignified, deliberate body,
met to consult upon weighty ques
tions, and not a mob to bo ruled
bv the impulses of the hour. In
this respect it was in masked con
trust to the national convention
which had preceded it a month be
fore. Wo believe that the work
done by the Democratic natisnal
convention at Chicago will he rati
fled by the people at the polls next
November.

The Democratic Executive Com

K. 0. Simmons, Secretary.
At the Chicago conventioa Mr.
Bacon, ou behalf of the Georgia
delegation, presented the name of
Uen. J. 0. Black, of Illinois, as a
candidate for the vivo presidential
nomination. Having personally
knowu Ocn. Black for a number of
years, we can say that the Georgia
delegation did honor to its heart
and band in presenting bis name,
for a nobler, truer-hearted man and
Democrat never lived. A fine
aotiolar, an eloquent orator, of fine
administrative ability, he would
have honored the station for which
he was uamed. Gen. Black declin
ed to be a candidate because he
was pledged to do all he could for
McDonald, and he would not de
sert a Iriend ler honors for him
self.
On the third day of the Chicago
Convention the committee ou plat
form reported, which report was
adopted. A ballot was then hod
for candidate for president, winch
resulting in no choice the
lion adjourned until the nest day.
i.ast nsv.
On Friday morning Hie conven.
tlon again assembled and proceecd
ed to ballot for president, Hie bal
lot resulting in tbe nomination of
Cleveland by Hie following vole:
Cleveland, 1188; McDonald, 2;
Bayard, 8I£; Tboinmn, 4;
Hendricks, 45A; Randall, 4. Tbe
nomination was then made unani
mous. ■
A mammoth oil painting of
Cleveland’s bend and bust was car
ried in front orilie speaker’s stand
and exhibited to the enthusiastic
spectators, who greeted it witli
cheers and whistling and the wav
ing of everything that could lie put
into requsition for that purpose,
while the bund played “Marching
Through Georgia,” “The lied,
White and Blue," and other airs.
A dispatch was read from Gov
ernor lloadly, congratulating the
convention, Hie Democracy and Hie
country on the wise thing done,
and promising n Democratic vic
tory in October and November.
The convention then, at 1:95, took
a recess until 5 p. in.
At a conference cf the lending
friends of Cleveland and other
proininunt members of the conven
tion, to Hie number of about fifty,
wbicb took place during tbe recess
tbis evening, tbe merits of the va
rious candidates for Vioe-Prcsi-
dent were discussed, and it wns
agreed, if possible, to iiominale
Thomas A. Hendricks Tor Hint of
fice. The choice nanowed down,be
fore filial decision, to Hendricks
and Kx-Scnator Henry G. Davis,ol
West Virginia. Davis was sent for,
but gave so many reasons why he
should not he placed upon the tick
et and why llendrioks should,that
tbe latter was at last decided upon.
Among the more prominent mem
bers ofthe conference wero llarnum
of Connecticut, Cleveland of New
Jersey, Smith M. Weed of New
York, Manning of New York, Wat-
terson, of Kentucky, Cox, of Penn
sylvania, Burke, of Louisiana, Kcr-
nan, of New York, Gorman, of
Maryland, Converse of Ohio, and
John Keliy of New York.
At the evening session a number
of names were presented for the
vice-presidential nomination, hut
after some discussion all were with
drawn but that of Thomas A Hen
dricks, of Indiaua, who was unani
mously nominated. Indiana wns
the last state to vote, and when her
vole was announced, and it was
ajipsrent that hie nomination was
unanimous, the delegates and audi
ence rose to their feet and indulged
in the usual extravagant demon
strations. The whole bouse was a
sea of undulating color, formed by
waving handkerchiefs ol every hue,
hats, umbrellas, and everything
else which could bo seized ou by
the excited assemblage. Tbe bank
broke in on tbe unearthly din with
with the strains of “Hail to the
Chief.” A number of delegates
seized Hie standards and bora them
to the platform, where they were
gathered into a cluster, about
which were congregated 200 or 300
sands of voices sounded the refrain
of tbe familiar song. While tbe
audience and delegates weie per
petrating the discordant sounds
! rliich followed “ Auld Lang8yne,”
be solemn notes of“Old Hundred”
came floaliug down from tbe gal
lery in which the music was located,
and 14,000 voices joined in Hie
grand old hymn. “America" and j
“Home, Sweet Home” were render- j
e l by the band and the voices of '
the crowd, and tbe demonstrations, j
after a continuance ol something .
over twenty minutes was at an end.
Tbe usual voles of thanks were i
passed, and at 7:25 p. tu. tiic con* j
Veulion adjourned sine die.
1101V TO SECURE A FACTORY.
Tbe following suggestions by tbe
Savannah News arc so timely and
practical, and so pertinent to tbe '
situation in Americus, that wc wish !
to call particular attention to them, ]
and hope they will be carefully!
read and considered by our people:
Tbe people of tbe South are
thoroughly in earnest about devel
oping the varied resources of their
section. Tbe remarkable increase
of our manulneUiriiig interests has
often been remarked upon. It is
nevertheless true Lliut manufactur
ing is yet in its infancy in tbe
South, and it is probable that the
next decade will show a much more
wonderful increase than the last.
One thing that retards the devel
opment of the niuuufucluring inter
ests of many places is a want of
appreciation of the value and pow
er of co-operation and the inaugu
ration of manufacturing enterprises
by muny small stockholders. The
people "a:-o too much disposed to
depend on capitalists. Towns will
often ofler large bonuses and valua
ble franchises to secure tbe invest
ment ot capital in manufactories,
which when firmly established are
often used to the disadvantage of
the towns which helped to build
them.
There is scarcely a village of five
hundred inhabitants in Hie South
but should Imre one or more facto
ries, owned and controlled by Hie
people of the village and surround
ing country. Almost any commu
nity can raise $50,000 or $100,000
witli which to establish such en
terprises. Say subscriptions to
stock are secured foi a $100,000
intcrprisc as follows:
21) Ulru Inks $1,000 im.-Ii $ 20.000
100 men tsku .".00 earl; 50,000
200 men lakrt 100 each 20,000
200 mull tuko 50 each 10,000
520 men $100,000
Let it be understood that Hie slock
is to be naitl for in easy install
ments, say 10 percent, every four
or six luonlbs. The first install
ment ol $10,000 will secure the
necessary land—possibly a water
power. The next installment will
procure the necessary material for
buildings. By the lime the build
ings can be erected the third in—
ati.llmeul becomes due aud u por
tion ot the machinery may ho or-
dcred, and liy Hie lime it eau be
manufactured Hie fourtli anil fifth
installments can be collected and
Hie machinery ordered paid for.
The sixth call will pay freight and
for placing Hie machinery in posi
tion. Tlie seventh will secure ma-
terial and start the wheels to rolling
willla healthy easli working capital.
The eight, ninth and tenth us they
arc called in will udd to tlie machin
ery or buildings or other features
as may be requiied. Thus, in from
three to live years almost any
thriving business town may estab
lish n first class manufacturing
enterprise without feeling that it is
burdened. A largu iiumbci of
stockholders may pay llicir assess-
incuts in land or mnlcriul or labor.
The better class ol workuieu might
take stock, and allow a percentage
of their wages to go in payment
therefor.
One towu or community might
have a cotton factory, unotber a
woolen mill, auolker a wagon fac
tory, another a Hour mill, unotber
a furniture factory, another a fertil
izer factory, a.ul another an iron
mill, each in accordance with its
natural resources aud udvuutuges.
