Americus Recorder. W. L, OLIIIIEB, HlUr. OBelal Organ «r Webster County. HUM) AY. Jilt' 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. CLEVELAND ft HENDRICKS ABE THE NAMES OF TIIK NEXT PRESIDENT AND VICE- 1 PftCHlDERT. -, Last liar of Hie Chicago Convention, MEETINU OF EXECUTIVE COMMIT TEE. The Democratic Executive Com mittee met Saturday according to call, n quorum being present and the Hon. A. 8. C’lltts, Chairman, presiding.

A. S. Cores, C'hairuiaii. 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.
