Xmericus Recorder. W. HIMr. _ Official Organ or Webster Count*. FRIDAY, JUI. YI 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 Wolde Knote Is tbe only German journal In the West that supports Blaine. It Wolde Knote do so if It had any regard for political in tegrity. in Iowa Democratic paper claims that that State is really doubtful In the coming Presiden tial contest. Of course a Republi can will smile at the Idea of a State b.-lng doubtful that gave Uarfleld over 44,000 majority over both bis opponents, but last year the Re publican majority over tbe Demo cratic and Greenback tickets was only about two thousand, in a still larger vote. But little change is needed this year to make it Demo cratic, UEPHElirsTATlV P. KAiF. IK TKK HK1.I,.

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- •O'- , 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.

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.
