A MAJORITY FOB CLEVELAND.
In reply to the statement made in sev
eral anti-Cleveland newspapers that the
Kentucky state convention was almost
solid against him,the Louisville Courier-
Journal states that the failure to adopt
the resolution endorsing Cleveland was
from an altogether different cause, and
says “that the truth of the matter is that
the great majority of the delegates were
enthusiastic Cleveland men. The demon
stration that followed the Cleveland ut
terances of Mr. McKenzie Is proof of
this. If, at that moment, someone had
offered the resolution introduced, very
inconsiderately, by Mr. J. P. Tarvln, of
Coviugton, when tho convention was
about to adjourn and when there were
not more than two or three hundred
present, it would have gone through
with si whoop. Tber9 cap b<J n<? doubt
of this.
“When Mr. Tai’Vln introduced his res
olution tho few delegates present wore
tired out and wanted to get away by the
evening trains to their homes. There !
happened to he hitter anti-Clovelandites
among them, and these made a great
deal of noiwe. Tho others thought it
had been amply demonstrated by a doz
en different ovations at the mention of
Mr. Cleveland's name that lie had the
ention’s heartiest hacking so far as
was concerned, and that
superlluous.”

’ tt ^ nea .nok upon tho discrepancies in
, commissioners accounts as a very
.mall matter. Kolb will feel that he Is
fully .indicated when be has made a
. successful race for the governorship If
that should ever occur.
Mb. E. W. Baiihbtt, writing in tlie
Constitution of Hon. J. C. Clements be
ing in the city, says: "Mr. Clomoats
has seen many members of congress
since adjournment, and lie believes
Judge Crisp’s election to the speaker-
ship is assured.” El. Barrett never
misses an opportunity to speak a good
word for Judge Crisp, and he is doing
some good work for him.
Ex.RltrllESKBTATlVB Yount, of Ohio,
says of politics in that state: “It looks
to me as if the democrats would unite
and re-nomlnate Oov. Campbell. One
thing I am confident of, we will eloct
the man we nominate. No man can bo
elected in Ohio on the high tariff issue.
McKinley makes that issue, and he will
he defeated. The fnrmo a are tired of
high taxes, and cannot understand why
other necessaoios of life cannot be cheap
ened by being put on the free list, as
sugar has been.
When Larry Gantt undertakes to ex
pose the evils whloh affllot tho people,
he rolls up his alsevea to bis elbows and
wades in. In this week's Southern Al
liance Farmer he oxpoaes an attempt of
a representative of the school book
trust to bribe him with s small adver
tisement and big money to shut up bn
the book question.. The prices of sohool
books are outrageous when compared
with other publications, and every news
paper In Georgia should assist Mr.
Gantt In breaking up this monopoly.
A Florida legislator has Introduced
=a resolution to exclude from the house
any correspondent of a newspaper who
shall criticise the eonduot or the action
of any of Its members, and thereby says
plainly II the correspondents cannot
praise them they shall not M allowed to
say anything. Some men will mako
fools of themselves even in exalted
stations. It Is a privilege and a duty
which newspapers owe their readers to
eritlolso the acts of men In publio office,
and it will be done so long as the world
stands.
Onk James Beeson, of Scottsboro,
Ala, has sent to the Chattanooga Times
a challenge to ltev. Sam. Jones fora
publio discussion. Tho question which
ho wishes to discuss is the truth or fal
sity of the Christian Bible. The Atlan
ta Journal thinks If the liev. Sam will
accept Beeson’s challenge lie will have
ua opportunity to moro effectually
“stamp upon the tail feathers of the
devil” than ho has evor had before.
This Is tough on Beeson and Boh In per
son, but Is probably no more than they
deserve.

Journed, In answer t • questions from news-
paper correspondent*, I replied that Crisp
Was my first choice And McMtllln second.
These were n y personal preferences. I have
never advocated the selection of a northern
democrat, becuuse 1 know or none except
Holman who so completely comes up tbthe
mark. Holman and Hpnnrer seem to me to
Ire the only northern democrats who have

place without regard to • ctlonal preju iices
If such exist. Holman shows no strength,
and it fa asserted that Mpriogerls playing for
the place. I don't believe it. I don’t know

than either Crisp or MoMUUa. He andonbt-

In further conversation, Mr. Cum-
mings said that he bad never talked with
either Crisp or Mills concerning the
speakership. At flret he demurred talk
ing about his preferences, and was only
Induced to do so beesuse of the vsrious
reports printed coneernlng him. He
ssid he believed no combinations could
be made until the members reached
Washington prior to the opening of con

“A’l the work will bo done in Wash

before then is founded upon mere idle
speculation.”

The question raised is not a new one.
It first came up some years ago in Vir
ginia jury cases. The law os then ex
pounded by the court is that a state may
not exclude colored citizens from the
jury either by statute, by official action
or by systematic practice.
At the same time a colored prisoner Is
not cxtitled to a colored or mfxed jury.
He cannot claim the right that even one
colored person shall bo among the

shall be drawn fairly and indiscriminate

war AMERICAN GOLUGOK.4.
There doee not seem to be one-half so
much reason for alarm over the large
shlpmente of gold that are woekly being
made from tide country to Europe
many would have you believe. The
Washington Post Is Of tha opinion that
although the large exports of gbld from
thlicountry to Europe occasion eome
uneasiness, It Is encouraging to note
that in|the opinion of so eminent a flnan
der as Herr Blelchroder, the German
banker, the United States has no cause
for alarm on this account He says in
an interview published a few days ago
that tho Kussian demand for gold I, not
based upon present or prospective W&r
necessities—In fact, no war in Europe is
to bo anticipated for three years at
least—but upon the fact that certain
Dutch loans have to he provided for by
Russia that necessitate as large an ac
cumulation of gold aa possible at home,
more than can bo safely withdrawn fron
London or Berlin at this time. The Post
continues:

Tiik contennial anniversary of the
first meeting of the general assembly of
South Carolina at Columbia haa just
been celebrated with much enthusiasm
in that place. Tbe seat of government
had originally been at Charleston, but as
the dwellers in the northern counties
complained of its distance from their
homes, it was resolved to found a state
capital on tha middle ground, and then
the general assembly chose commission
ers to buy and lay off iandsoo the plan
tations of Thomas and James Taylor
“for the building of the town of Colum
bia thereon.” Four or five years later
this purpose had been sufficiently car
ried into affect for removing tho govern
ment, and it is .he centenary of this
evont which has caused high carnival on
the hills of tho Congaree. An interest
ing fact mentioned by General Wade
Hampton, who delivered tho principal
address at the celebration, is that until
1803 the town was under the control of
tho legislature as Washington is under
tbat of congress; snd in that year, also,
South Carolina College, previously es
tablished by the general assembly, was
open there.
Dispatcher from tbe third party con
vention In Cincinnati Indlaate that the
organization of the new party will be
postponed until the meeting next Feb
ruary. Tho members are divided in
opinion as to tbe advisability of Its or
ganization at this tlmo, those opposing
coming mostly from tho south. The
Kansas delegates aro rod hot for a new
party, and want It right now.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun says:
The Bt. Louis Republic Is still very
much agitated over the candidacy of
Judge Crisp for tho speakership. In the
meantime, Crisp continues to forge
ahead.”
