THE WKSIKKX CONVENTIONS.
The convent ions which assembled at
Denver last week and at Cincinnati the
week before represented two phases of
western sentiment. The Denver con
vention had for its object the commer
cial regeneration of the great west. It
dealt with practical subjects coolly and
deliberately, and so far as it had to do
with political issues it allowed a leaning
toward the democratic party.
The convention at Cincinnati was
purely political, and had for its object
the building up of a new party with a
platform representing the wild-cat ideas
which western demagogues have advo-
nal.
The New Orleans grand jury has made
the startling discovery that the jury
bribers caunot be punished in that state.
The penal clause was left out of the
bribery act.
Congressman Hoik, who died in
Knoxville the other day, was one of the
best organizers in’ the republican ranks
in Tennessee, and his death is a heavy
loss to liis party in that state.
The Charleston has again put into
port in Peru, but reports that the Data
has not been sighted. Evidently the
latter is a slick craft, or it may be that
she lias gone to join McGinty at the
bottom of the sea,
The Augusta Chronicle is about the j c#ted “ PromUiofc a political rogenera-
only daily in the state which opposes j ti°n. rhe platform It built contains a
free silver. Pelhaps silver is free enough few sound democratic planks, but as a
with tlio editor of that flourishing jour- w 6°l® ^' s decidedly rickety.
The outcome of the Cincinnati con
vention is the germ of a new party,
which may develop considerable
strength in the next presidential cam
paign, enough to materially reduce the
cliauces of the republicans.
The Denver convention will result in
bringing to bear on congress a stronger
influence than before in behalf of the
trans-Mississippi states, For this pur
j pose it was resolved that each state and
territory represented in the convention
sliould be represented by a committee of
five specially charged with tho duty of
presenting to congress and vigorously
urging on its attention certain subjects
specified by tlie convention, tho chair
man of tho several state and territorial
committees to constitute a central com
mittee.
The subjects with which the commit
tee is especially charged aro the cheap
ening of freight rates southward and the
providing of better facilities for foreign
commerce via the gulf ports. The con
vention favored the passage of the Bur
roughs' bill appropriating #10,000,000
for the building and maintenance of
levees on the Mississippi river, the com
pletion of tho jetties for a deep water
harbor at Galveston, tho completion of
the Hennepin canal, and government aid
to the Nicaragua canal. With regard to
railway traffic southward the convention
expressed Itself as follows:
White we Insist upon and demand wise
governments', .upe-vlslon of railroads we
deprecate any legislation, either eta e or
national, not fair and equitable alike to the
Interest ol the public and the railroad.; and
further recognize the laet that full and
completejuftlcelu freight rates cannot b.
done the west and couth until the discrimi
nations In favor or the east and west Hue.
again.t tha uortb and south lines be abolish
ed, and to tills end we recommend that the
Inters late commerce law he so amended that
the aeaportson the guircan be reached from
all points In the west for the same propor
tionate tariff as Is charged to the Atlantic
ports.
Tho convention asked that congress
would ropeal all laws “which, in their
effect, work dishonor upon, or in tho
least chaiiege tlio sovereignty of, the
silver dollar as an absolute measure of
values, and to rcstoro to silver the place
given It as perfect monoy by the farmers
of our government,’' and that the presi
dent and congress would “onco more at
tempt to bring around an international
recognition and adjustment of silver as
money.”
Another measure urged on congress
was tho ceding to the western statos of
all arid lands within their border, ex
cept mineral lands, in order that the
states may undortako their irrigation.
The convention also favored the Torrey
bankruptcy bill, the restriction of im
migration and naturalization, the pro
viding of better harbor defonses and tho
admission of New Mexico and Arizona
into the union.
The convention pasacd off harmoni
ously, and its action will doubtless re
sult beneficially to tho statos it repre
sented. It may bo regarded as having
given formal exprosslons to the senti
ment of the great west in rogard to its
commercial needs, and as having
brought them squarely before tho east
and before congress. When the policy
thus formulated shall be worked out
there will ho found to bo closer relations
existing belwoen the west and the south
than between the west and the cast.
Such a result will of courso conduce to
the prosperity of tlio South.
Tho work of tho Denver meeting is to
bo continued by semi-annual meetings of
the trans-Mississippi congress. The
next session is to be hold in tho fall at
Omaha, and the next spring soaalou is
appointed to bo hold at Now Orleans,
The Cordele Cordelcaii, referring to
the dog eating varmint mentioned in
The Tiheh-Recoriiek a few days ago,
says that It is unlike the tigers In Dooly.
Over there they attack only the men,
but it lays them out pretty often.
Thebe wns no delegate from Georgia
and only two from Alabama in the Cin
cinnati “third party” convention. Ol
tho 1,417 delegates, 411 were from Kan
sas and 317 from Ohio—a majority of
the convention from these two states.
It is now stated that Steve Ryan’s
failure will reach nearly two millions
Steve has been weeding a wide row for
some time at tbo expense of bis credit
ors, and if such ohaps could be readied
by the law thore would be better busi
ness methods and fewer failures.
Ob. Gailor has signified his accept
ance of the call to the diosease of Geor
gia, and will make his home in Atlanta.
He gives up his duties at Sewanee with
reluctance, but feels that the work as
Bishop of Georgia gives him a larger
field of usefulness, and will come to give
the diosease his best labors.
The report that the Eagle and Phcu-
nix cotton mills, of Columbus, was seri
ously embarrassed Is denied by the
president, who pronounoes tlio report
to be without foundation. Tho Eagle
and Phcenlx is one of the oldest and
strongest institutions In Georgia, and if
it should go to tho wall it would be a
great surprise to the pooplo of the state.
Several Florida senators tried to play
the runaway trick upon Senator Call and
bis friends, and thus provent an elec
tion. The runaways spent sevoral days
at Thomasville this week, having como
to Georgia to elude arrest by the sor
goant-at-nrms, who was ordered by tho
president of the sonate to call them in.
Their elTort was a failure, and Call is
now senator for six years more.
A rovxa married couple at Nani me,
British Columbia, quarreled, when the
man rushed down to the beach and into
the water with the announced intention
of committing suicide. When bo got
out knee deep be found the water too
cold, and camo ouffaud went back home,
and when ho got there, tire News Delta
will wager, “his wifo made it hot enough
for him.” She should liavo done so, at
least
The Covington and Macon railroad
has been purchased by tho Terminal'and
will be added to the Central system of
Georgia with the name changed to Macon
and Northern. The Savannah News is
authority for tho statement that the
Covington and Macon was an unfortun
ate speculation from the beginning. Its
stockholders never received a cent of
dividends and lost every dollar they put
into It. _________
Tux new York Herald is devoting con
siderable attention to the evils arising
from indiscriminate immigration, and it
Is in favor of closing our gates, and in
support of its position gives the follow
ing reasons: “In the first place, we liavo
a period in our history when wo requtro
no more labor from abroad. The homo
market supplies ' our utmost needs.
More than that, it is estimated that at
all times of tho year there aro well on to
a million native wage earners who seek
work in vain. The supply is greater
than the demand, and a surplus of idlers
are scattered through every state,
Senator Walcott, of Colorado, has
no earthly use for President Harrison
and does not hesitate to express bis
opinion of him whenever he has the op
portunity. Senator Walcott says that
tho reception in the west to Harrison
was cordial because of the respect the
people hare for the officer, but that
were Cleveland or Blaine to follow him
they would receive ovations which
would cause President Harrison to hang
his bead in shame. Acoordicg to the
talk of Senator Waloott the western re
publicans favor Blaine for the presiden
cy, and they are hoping for lily speedy
recovery so that they can boom him in'
every state west of the Mississippi

Rev. Dr. Biuuumax, one of the lead
ing divines iu tho Baptist church, has
resigned bis pastorate over one of the
wealthiest churches in Now York City,
because ho can no longer preach eternal
damnation. 11c believes it inconsistent
with the character of a just or loving
God—a libel on divinity and demoraliz
ing ,to tho people. Dr. Bridgman Is
greatly loved by his parishioners, as ho
lias been over tho church for thirteen
years, and many of ilia admirers among
the lnicty and ministers have expressed
their regrets that ho sliould liavo pro-
mitigated his views.
Miss Jaiiiiett, the Jackson county
girl who is charged with putting poison
in her father’s soup because he whipped
her for walking with an objectionable
young man, denlos her guilt, but the
old man says she did it, and if he dies
he wonts her hung. Poison was also
found In the coffee pot, and this looks
as though the young woman Intended
making a sure thin; of it. The old
man is yet in the balance and may die.
The girl has not been arrested, but re
mains quietly at home.
THE DAVIS MOHUMKNT-
The letter of General Gordon, com
mandcr of the un’ted confederate veter
ans, requesting all confederate organiza
tions to meet on June 18tli, for the pur
pose of formulating a plan for collecting
of voluntary contributions to tlio Davis
monument fund is timely, and the sug
gestion will no doubt meet with a favor
able respouse from the veterans through
out tlio south Tlio whole people sliould
contribute liberally to this fund, and
show to the world that tlie hero of the
lost cause carried to liis grave the love
and confidence of Ids people. The old
soldiers will be assisted by tlie ladies,
who are ever ready to show their zeal in
any work w-hicli has for its object tlie
honoring of those who fought for tlie
south, and with their assistance the vet
erans should ire able to raiso a fund that
would reach far up into tlio thousands.
When tlie movement is onco fairly inau
gurated tlie whole South will become in
terested and the necessary amount sliould
bu raised witli but little trouble. Let
tlie veterans meet as General Gordon
suggests and organize for tlio work.
DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS IN IOWA.
A dispatch from Des Moines, Iowa,
published iu the New York Herald,
gives a very Interesting review of the
political situation in that State and
sliows that the republicans are badly
demoralized by tlie groivtli and compact
organization of the farmers' alliance and
at the present time, tho place at the head
of tlie atato ticket goes beggiDg, because
feeling is that whoever is nominated by
tho republicans for governor will be de
feated, consequently the ambitoius poli
ticians aro not pushing themselves to
the fiont this year. The fire of the re
publican organs upon the alliance, it is
claimed, is having its effect, but the ef
fect is to cause the farmers to Btand
more closely together and to determine
to mako basil of the republican party at
tlie next election. Tlie Herald’s corres
pondent says the farmers have taken
hold of the tariff reform Idea in earnest,
and that the sweep which the Demo
crats made when they elected Boies two
years ago will boa small affair compared
to the victory they will score this fall.
If Senator Stewart’s amendment
to the federal constitution limitingpresi
dents of the United States to one term
is adopted, ambitious little presidents
like Benjamin Harrison will be choked
off; and it was Senator Stewart’s disgust
no doubt at the insignificance of the
present^ administration that prompted
him to prepare this amendment. It is
doubtful, howevor, if tills proposed
amendment will got through, because
tlie country does not enjoy tlie luxury of
a good president very often, and when
they get one they want to keop him in
office »s long as they can properly and
safely do so. rresfdonts who aro fail
ures llko Harrison, howover, can be
disposed of at tlie end of their first
term. The people can get rid of
them without a constitutional amend
ment.
Within tlie next two or three wcoks
there will be a meeting of all tho sub-al
liances in Kansas for the purpose of con
sidering ami ratifying the Cincinnati
platform of the people’s party and to de
cide whether there ahall be a presiden
tial ticket nominated in 1802. The lead
ers of the alliance say that they hare felt
the pulse of the farmers and that they
will ratify tho action of tho recent con
ference by an unanimous vote, and will
at onco commence making preparations
for tho coming presidential campaign.
Such men as Pcffer, of Kansas, and
Weaver, of Iowa, laugh at tho Idea of
tho now party petering out before the
fight is on, and they say that tlie coun
try will realize that tlio movement will
gain strength within tho next year and a
naif, and that it will mako things decid
edly lively in the west in 18!l'2.
