And yet the Republicans think that they will he able to carry Ohio next month. Until Ohio votes, there will have been no election held this year which either party will have a right to point to as foreshadowing the success of its candidate for Presi dent of tbe United States. XtSI MEETING OP THE JUCOM DEMOCRATS To DIMOSS the Ssnstsrlsl Rasslloo. , Ooletuoiipe, Oa., Sept. 17,1884. At 1:80' p. m,, Chairman X. O. Niles, of Democratic Executive Committee, called to order the convention and in substance said: “Gentlemen or the Convention, you have been called together to day by me ns Chairman of our County. Executive Committee, af ter I bad ascertained that this course was desired by many of our best citizens, to take nction in re gard to the dissatisfaction existing at the result of the late Senatorial Convention held in Americus.

Engram, Jasper Murray, A. W. Hicks, Mathew English, B. C. M. Brooks. By request, the committee re tired. Col. J. M. DuPree, at tbe request of Mr. Jasper Murray, one of the committee, notified the Chair that be was related to the Hon. W. D. Murray, of Sobley, and ashed to be excused from service on tho com mittee on resolutions.

Tom Marston, a lad of nineteen years, is the latest sensation in Conyers, lie sat fire to and de stroyed the Methodist church and several other buildings. When caught he was in the act of firing more houses. He is evidently in sane. From the way in which fac loriqt, foundries and furnaces are suspending operations nil over the country and turning out poor op eratives to meet poverty empty handed, it would seem that “pro tection” isn’t protecting now, lo any great extent. “Stove” Elkina abandoned West Virginia as hopeless more than a week ago, and Iras been putting all the money and work into Ohio that could lie spared from Maine. With the surrender of this fedora hope vanishes nil chance for carry ing a Southern State for Blaine.

The color line lias been abolished in the public schools of New York city, which wore reopened on Mon day. By an act of tho legislature, in May, the colored schools, ns tnoli distinctively were abolished, and the pupils, black and white, were all merged together. Tho low was to take offcct in Septem ber, 1884. Tho Republican demoralization in the west is pcrhnps tho most striking feature of the political sit uation. The careful Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, an exceptionally fair news paper, reports that the republican managers arc a'armed at the news which comes from all the States of the central west. THE WHOLE COUNTRY' DEMO CRATIC. II there is anything in tho politi cal signs ot tlie limes and the pre dictions of tho political prophets, nearly every State in the Union will go Democratic this fall. As it is there are only thirteen States witli Republican governors, a.id if the Democratic tide keeps on swell ing, our Republican friends will lie in tho predicament of Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, in 1873, when Ben Butler was eleoted gov ernor of Massachusetts, and the Democrats swept the whole conn: fry. Hoar had declared that if Biltlor waa elected he would leave the State. The morning after the election when Hoar came down to breakfast lie found his wife busy taking up the carpets and packing the furniture. “Why, what are you doing?” asked the surprised senator. “Preparing to move, my dear,” responded his wife. “Move? Where—what for?" “Why, didn’t you say if Butler was elected you would leave tho state? There ia the morning paper—you can see for yourself that he is elected,” and up came another breadth of carpet. “Veal yesl Bel hold on!” cried the excited senator, throwing down tbe paper; “we’d better stay whers we are.

The county of Scliloy—and 1 shall not he partial to either coun ty, in presenting you the issue— in convention met legally and in order, and put forward as her choice Tor Senator for the 13th Senatorial district, the Hon. W. D. Murray of that couuty. Her delegates at the senatorial conven tion .held at Americus presented his name and asked and expected a ratification of her ulioioe agreea bly to the usage of the party as by them understood, which was, that by the system of rotation the county whose time it was to name the man should have that, choice ratified, unquestioned. The county of Sumter in said convention admitted the right of Schley county to put a man before the convention, lint denied the right of Schley to demand this confirmation by the convention just because it was the time for Schley to name the man, regard less of the acceptability of the can didate to tho majority of the con vention. The Sumter delegation in the convention, acting upon this theo ry, rejected Mr. Murray, or rather nominated aud elected tho Hon. J. N. Huil-on, also of the county of Schley. This is the issue, and to you, fellow citizens, is the question sub mitted, that a peaceable solution may be bad of it, and that the honorable candidates, parties to this controversy, influenced by your action to-day, will show their devotion to Democracy by mutual concessions. I am lor neither party, but for tho complete restoration of concord and Democratic success ■ During tho address of tho Chair, mention was made of tho efforts through Col. A. S. Cutts, the Chair man of the Executive Commiltco of Sumter Couuty, to get the can didates to withdraw, or in some way reconcile the issue. Col. Cutts had replied that no satisfactory solution could be reached after a conference with both of the candi dates. To this the Hon. J. N. Hudson aroso and attempted to reply, whereupon ho was called lo order by Judge W. H. Fish, who sug gested that as this was a conven tion of citizens of Macon county, it was out of order for the gentle man to participate in debate. Ma- oou county was clearly able to take oare of herself and would do so, and be hoped Mr. Hudson would desist, for to allow otbera to delib erate in this meeting might pro duce interminable atrifo in this meeting, and for this bo objeeted to the gentleman proceeding. The chair sustained tho objec tion, and all outside debate waa disallowed. | On motion of Jas. D. Fredrick, temporary Chairman L. O. Niles was confirmed as permanent chair man; W. 1’. Maxwell was made secretary. Dr. R. 0, Engram offered the following: “That the chairman appoint a committee of six, to whom ail res olutions are to lie referred, and that said committee present to this convention such paciQo resolu tions for action by this convention as will, in their wisdom, bring har mony and best illustrate the posi tion of this county upon this tssus.” 30 Days AT John R. Shaw’s, No. 125 & 1241 Forsyth St, Amorious, • Georgia, Tbe committee submitted the fol lowing report: Rewived, That deploring tbe dis sension existing in the Democratic party in this, the Thirteenth, Sen atorial district as to who shall bo the standard bearer, and earnestly desiring tbe restoration of har mony and unity, and tbe achieve ment of victory, we recommend that the Democratic Executive Committee of the District, with the consent of the two candidates claiming that honor, do order a primary election lo be held at each of the precincts in the respective counties of tbe district, at which only democrats ahull vole, to nom inate one of these claimants as a candidate for Senator for the dis trict, and that the candidate receiv ing the highest vote shall be by them declared the nominee of the party, and as such receive its sup port. And we earnestly appeal to the candidates to sanction this peacea ble solution of the question, and that they at once signify to the Chairman of said Executive Com mittee their decision in the matter, and upon their consent being so expressed that the Executive Com mittee order such primary election.
