Blaine baa tbe enpjtort of com
paratively few of the li ailing Re
publican papers of the North.
Cleveland, on the other hand, will
have the support not only of the
entire Democratic press, bnt of
such New York papers as the Her
ald, Post, Times and others in dif
ferent States.
The Savannah News is evidently
trying to build up a reputation as
a humorous paper. The following
is its latest:
A Wisconsin paper called the

over 44,000 majority over both bis

needed this year to make it Demo

ApproposofGov. Bacon’s speech
nominating Gen. J. C. Black, ol
Illinois, for the vice-presidency,
which we publish in another col
umn, we rise to remark that the
editor of the Kepohder some years
ago bail the honor of writing the
General's obituary. Gen. Black
was a great favorite in Central III!
uois and was respected and loved
by all who knew him. During the
war he had' bis arm shattered by a
ball, and for a number of years he
had great tronble with it, having
to undergo several severo surgical
operations. He was so prostrated
that It was thought he would die,
and It was reported by telegraph
that be was dead. We received
tne report Just as we were going to
press and sat down and wrote a
brief obituary of tbe General, wbieli
was soon put in type and the paper
sent to press. The next morning
the news came that he was yet
alive, but it was too late, for the
papers bad been printed and mail
nl. The Gen! recovered and a few
months afterward we met him and
received Ills thanks for the very
complimentary manner in which
we hail spoken of him in our oliitu-

Albany Medium: Last week we
published au accuul of the robbery
ol Mr. Elbert Fletcher’s residence
in Irwin oonntv, of $7,000 in mon
ey and other valuables. Later in
formation brings tbe intelligence
that he has been so fortunate as
to recover the trunk containing all
the money and oilier valuables.
It seems be had a negro employed
ou his place, and that this negro,
while the family were at supper,
look the trunk from the house,
carried it a short distance into tbe
woods and secreted it. He then
returned to tbe house and perhaps
engaged in tbe search for it. Next
morning'a nagro boy, who also
lived ou the place, and who wit
nessed tbe extraction of the trunk,
informed Mr, Fletcher of the trans
action, and ho soon had tbe trunk
in bis possession. Rumor says
the thief received 175 lashes for
his part ol tbe work, and would
have received more bad he not

BACON’S SPEECH.
A MAGNIFICENT TESTIMONIAL TO AN
ILLINOIS SOLDIER.
Atlanta Constitution.
Cincinnati, O., July 12—[Spe
cial.]—Tlie Georgia delegation ar
rived here this evening, on their
nay home. They will arrive in
Atlanta to-morrow noon. The
following is the speech of Mr. Ba
con, pulling in nomination General
Black:
Mr. Bacon arose in bis seat when
Georgia run called. [Cries of
“take the stand."]
The chairman—Will the gentle
man take l he stand!'
Mr. Bacon—1 have hut a lew
words to say. Mr. President: It is
unnecessary that I consume the
time which would he necessary in
walking to tbe aland. I know, Mr.
President, that Ibis convention is
wearied with its long session and
with much speaking, and even if it
were not fur the order of the con
vention, I should not consume the
time which Is .proscribed bv the
resolution which has been adopted.
We, of tbe south, Mr. President,
have come to this convention with
our preferences for those who shall
fill the first and second place upon
this ticket, ill which we have been
as ardent as you, gentlemen of the
north, but we have contented our
selves by giving expression to our
prclerenccs by our votes, and we
have been silent amid the discus
sions wilieii have been beard in tills
bail for the last four days. As we
have had our preference for the
first place, so we have a preference
for tbe second, but as in the first
place we passed by all those who
live witin our borders, and gave
our votes to those who live in the
north. So do we now come to pre
sent the name of one who lives on
this side of the border. Mr. Presi
dent for those of us who live in the
south to express to northern demo
crats the appreciation we have had
for their assistance in the long
struggle which wo have made lor
personal liberty and for self-gov
ernment. [Applause.] Wo have
been told at the south that the re-
spectability of tbe north belonged
to the republican party. But as
one who had the fortune to witness
in this hall the assembly ol the re
publican convention, 1 am glad to
bear testimony to the fact that the
men of the nortli who have come
up here as the representatives ol
the democratic pafty are in every
particular superior to those who
were in attendance upon the repub
lican convention. But, Mr. Presi
dent, I cannot dwell upon that,
while we have this appreciation ol
the men of the north, I speak the
sentiment which is common to all
of us who live south. Among the
democrats of the north those who
stand highest in onr regard, those
whose aid we Imvc appreciated in
the highest degree, are those who
wore the blue, and who, when the
banners were furled, and when the
echoes of the guns were stilled, rec
ognized . that those who had been
enemies were now friends and
brothers. [Cheers.] Mr. President,
I desire to say that the gentle
man, whose name I shall pre-
sent to tills convention, and
whom I am commissioned by
the delegates from my state to ask
that you shall choose for the sec
ond place on the ticket—a gentle
man who is personally a stranger to
us all. I desire to say further that
I have the best ol reasons for know
ing that, while he sits within the
friends surround him, that neither
he nor bis friends have now the
slightest idea whose name I shall
pronouuce. Mr. President, 1 am
commissioned by Hie delegation
from the state of Georgia to pre
sent the name of a man who hasbeen
eminent in war, and who is now no
luss eminent anil worthy in peace.
He,Mr. President, belongs not to
the past. Those of us who belong to
and has been for a longtime, Mod
erator of the New Hope Associa
tion.
