C, 1884. Mu. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committee : I thank you for the kind terms in which you have communicated the resolutions concerning me, adopted by the late Democratic National Conven tion. 1 share your conviotion that reform in the administration of the Federal II .vernment, which is ou great national want, and is indeed essential to the restoration' and preservation of the government itself, can only he achieved through the agency of the Democratic par ty, and liy installing its repiesen- tative in the Chiet Magistracy of the United States. The noble his torical traditions of the Democrat ic party, the principles iu which it was educated and to which it. has ever been in the main fnithf.il, its freedom from corrupt inliuences which grow up in p,olonged pos session of power, ami the nature o> the elements which constitute all. contribute to .iiialify it for that mission. The opposite character- istics and conditions which attach to the Republican party make it hopeless to expect that that party will be able to give better govern ment limn the debasing system ol abuses which during its ascendency lias infected olliuiul and political lile in Ibis country. The Demo crntic party had its origin in the cllorts of the more advanced patri ots of tbc revolution to resist the perversion of our government from the ideal contemplated by the peo ple. Among its conspicuous found ers were Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams and John Hancock of Massachu setts, George Clinton and Hubert U. Livingston of New York, and George ll'ythe and James Madison of Virginia. democracy's i.onii hkiun. From tbc election of Mr. Jeffer son ns President in 1800 for sixty years the Democratic party mainly directed our national policy. H extended the boundaries of the republic and laid the foundation of all of our national great ness, while it preserved the limi tations imposed by the consti tution and maintained a simple and pure system of domestic administration. On the other band, the Republican party has always been dominated by princi ples which favor legislation for the beneilt of | articular classes at the expense of tho body of tho people. It has become deeply tainted with aliases which naturally grow up during a long possession of un checked power, especially in a pe riod ol civil war and false finance. The patriotic and virtuous elements in it are now unable to emancipate it from the sway of selllslt inter ests which subordinate public re- vurily to personal greed. The most hopeful of the best citizens it contains despair of it being amend cd, except through its temporary expulsion Irom power. It has been hoastingiy asserted by a mod i-rn Massachusetts statesman,slrug gling to reconcile himself and bis lollowers to their Presidential can didate, that the Itepublican party contains a disproportionate share of the wealth, culture and intelli gence of the country. Tho unprin cipled <7 ration, when taunted by James II, with his personal want of conscience, answered: “That is true, t.ut I belong to a party that has a gieat deal ol eon suience.’’ Such reasoners forget that the same claim lias been made In all ages and countries by tbc defenders of old wrongs against new reforms. USED AOAINST THE PATRIOTS. It was alleged by the Tories of the American revolution against the patriots of that day. It was repeated against Jefferson and af terwards against Jackson. It is alleged by the Conservatives against those who, in England,arc now endeavoring to enlarge popu lar suffrage. All history which their daily lives are devoted to securing in private business. Tho Democratic party consists largely ol those who live by the work of their hands, and whose political action is governed by reply to the resolutions presented. tlleir 80utimont8 of imagination to him from the National Demo-1 , t regu | u lhat t | ie Democratic party, more readily than the Re publican party, can be moulded to support reform measmes which In volve the saci idee of selfish inter- tcrcsts. The indispensable neces sity of our time is a change of ad ministration in the grent executive offices of the country. This, in .ny judgment, can only be accom plished by the election ofthoDem- ocra'le candidates for President and Vice President. Samuel J. Tilden. kirilm n-» illiti 9. M.

Vienna, Ga., Oot. 8 Frank Collier, colored, was shot and in stantly killed yestordny afternoon, on the plantation of Mr. William Stimmcrlord, about six miles northwest of Vienna, on the Mon tezuma road, by Ed Trippe, a young white man, who resided on tho same place. The statement of tho Inner so ncn<ly coincides with those of the witnesses said to have been present that we will giro it: Frank Collier was a hand regularly employed on the plantation of Mr. Stimmcrlord. Trippe runs a small store on tho place and superintends tho gin, etc. Yesterday evening Trippe went in the field where Collier was picking cotton and or dered him to go to the gin and assist in packing some cotton. This Co'licr rc r uscd to do, and Trippe told him if be did not go he would kill him. Collier replied that he would “have it to do, then,” and, Trippo says, made a motion, as if to draw a weapon ol some kind, when Trippo drew his p stol and shot him, Ilo was only a lew feet distant, and the ball entered the left side, produoing instanta neous death. Trippe camo to Vi enna and surrendered to the town marshal, who declined to take him into custody, hut referred him to the sheriff. The latter gentleman not being in towa, no arrest was or Inis up to time of writing been mnde. Tbc drouth in this section has become alarming. Alt the creeks are dry, tho wolfs arc rapidly fail ing and wc are actually threatened with a wntcr famine. In several 'localities water has to bo hauled from a distance. The cattle are dying in the woods in tho lower Dart of the county. Yesterday at 5 p. m. tho thermometer was 06 In the shade. In the city of New York alone they drink between 10,000,000 and 15.000,000 gallons of excellent California and other native wines under the belief that they are Im ported Irom France, being duly accredited with a French Uliel. The proportion of European wines imported ns against American wines produced is about 5,000 000 gallons European as against 35,-' 000.000 tbc products of our own vineyards. Yet, says a great au thority on the subject, although we grow eight times as much wine as wc import, and can reckon tho wines consumed at about 40,000,- 000 gallons in the rough, we sell 20.000,000 gallons of quasi Euro pean wines every year to consum ers. A Homicide at Leary. Macon, Ua., Oet. 8.—Last Sun day Win. Jordan and Lumpkin Nichols quarreled at Leary, when Jordan drew a pistol and Nichols ran away. Afterwards Nichols sought Jordan at his homo and calling him out discharged a load of rmckshot at him. Fifteen buck- shot took effect causing instant death. Nicbuls has not been ar retted.
