Amerieus, 6a., May 29, 1891. 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 citato-' 5 */* 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.
