Governor Cleveland is one of the

these latter days who believes that
tbe government was created for tbe
benefit of tbo people, and not for
the benefit of tbe office-holders.

Gov. Hendricks represents the

by which tha presidency was stolen
by tbe Republicans. In all the
offices he baa held, and they have
been many, not a word has ever

principles of reform enunciated in
the platform.

Speaker Carlisle. Mr. Morrison,
Mr. Hewitt and tbe other more
moderate revenue reformers are
delighted with tbe tariff plank in
tbe platform. To them it signaliz
es a great revenue reform impetus.
It defines, they stiv. the issue be
tween tbe two parties respecting
taxation admirably. It declares
for tbe Democracy, in accordance
with the wishes ot a large majority
of its members, that it is in favor
of revenue reform and tax reduc
tion. They believe that the ticket
is greatly strengthened by tbe
platform upon wbicli it stands, and
that the strengtli of that platform
lies in its declarations in favor of
revenue reform. Frank nurd and
W. Bookwaltcr, of Ohio, who
are more radical in their views, are
as well phased as the more conser
vative revenue reformers.

DEROCRATl** PLATFORM.
On another page will be found
tbe platform adopted by tile Dem
ocracy in National convention at
Chicago. That it is a lengthy
document is due to tbe fact that it
is full and explicit upon all tbe po
litical questions of the day. The
tariff plank is clear in its terms for
reform and is particularly accepta
ble to those who favor the wiping
out of class legislation. Altogeth
er it is a platform broad and strong
enough for ail honest lovers of
their country and an honest admin
istration to stand upon.

On tbe third day of tbe Chicago
Convention the committee on plat
form reported, which report was
adopted. A ballot was then bad
for candidate tor president, which
resulting in no choice the conven
tion adjourned until the next day.
LAST DAY.
On Friday morning the conven
tion again assembled and proceeed-
ed to ballot for president, the bal
lot resulting in tbe nomination of
Cleveland by the following vote:
Cleveland. 683; McDonald, 8;
Bayard, 81$; Thurman. 4;
Hendricks. 45i: Randall, 4. Tbe
Domination was then made unani
mous.
A mammoth oil painting of
Cleveland's head and bust was Car
rie,! in front of tbe speaker's stand
and exhibited to the enthusiastic
spectators, who greeted it with
cheers and whistling and the wav
ing of everything that could be put
into requsition for that purpose,
while the band played “Marching
Through Georgia," “The Red,
White and Blue,” and other airs.
A dispatch was read from Gov
ernor Hoadiy, congratulating the
convention, the Democracy and the
country on the wise thing done,
and promising a Democratic vic
tory in October and November.
The convention then, at 1:25, took
a recess until 5 p. m.
At a conference of the leading
friends of Cleveland and other
prominent members of tbe conven
tion, to tbe number of about fifty,
which took place during tbe recess
this evening, tbe merits of the va
rious candidates for Vice-Presi
dent were discussed, and it was
agreed, it possible, to nominate
Thomas A. Hendricks for tiiat of
fice. Tbe choice narrowed down, be
fore final decision, to Hendricks
and Kx-Senator Henry G. Davis, ot
West Virginia. Davis was sent for,
but gave so many reasons why be
should not he placed upon tbe tick
et and why Hendricks should,that
tile latter was at last decided upon.
Among tbe more prominent mem
bers of the conference were Barnum
of Connecticut, Cleveland of New
Jersey, Smith M. Weed of New
York, Manning of New York. Wat-
terson, of Kentucky, Cox, of Penn
sylvania, Burke, of Louisiana, Ker-
nan, of New York, Gorman, of
Maryland. Converse of Ohio, and
John Kelly of New York.
At tbe evening session a number
•f names were presented for the
trice-presidential nomination, but
after some discussion all were with
drawn but that of Thomas A Hen
dricks, of Indiana, who was unani
mously nominated. Indiana was
tbe last state to vote, and when her
vole was announced, and it was
apparent that bis nomination was
unanimous, tbe delegates and audi
ence rose to their feet and indulged
in the usual extravagant demon
strations. Tbe whole bouse was a
sea of undulating color, formed by
waving handkerchiefs of every hue.
hats, umbrellas, and everything
else which could be seized on by
tbe excited assemblage. Tbe bank
broke in on tbe unearthly din with
with the strains of “Hail to tbe
Chief." A number ot delegates
seized the standards and bore them
to the platform, where they were
gathered into a cluster, about
which were congregated 200 or 300
delegates, yelling as if Cleveland
aud Hendricks were just being
plsced in presidential offices. After
remaining in front of tbe platform
a few minutes, the delegates in
charge ol tbe standard formed Into
a procession and marched around
tbe ball, while tbe band favored tbe
orowd with “Tbe Star Spangled
Banner.” Immediately upon tbe
cessation of tbe music, the people
began again with a second chapter
of the uproar, when the band came
in with “Dixie,” which was sainted
with deltrons screams by the South
ern members, ably assisted by the
Northern wing of tbe Democracy.
Succeeding the interval of aimple
yelling which succeeded “Dixie”
came the strains of “AnM Lang
Syne" from the band, and thou-
which followed “Auld Lang Syne."
tbe solemn notes of“Old Hundred"
came floating down from the gal
lery in which the music was located,
and 14,000 voices joined in tbe
grand old hymn. “America” and
“Home, Sweet Home - 'were render
ed by tbe band and tbe voices of
the crowd, and tbe demonstrations,
afters continuance ot something
over twenty minutes was at an end
Tho usual votes of thanks were
passed, and at 7:25 p. m. the con
vention adjourned sine die.
HOW TO SECURE A FACTORY
Tbe following euggestions by the
Savannah Newa are so timely and
practical, and so pertinent to the
situation in Americus, that we wish
to call particular attention to them
and hope they will be carefully
read and considered by our people:
Tbe people of tbe South are
thoroughly In earnest about devel
oping the varied resources of their
section. The remarkable increase
of our manufacturing interests has
often been remarked upon. Jt is
nevertheless true that manufacture
ing is yet in its infancy in tbe
South, end it if probable that tbs
next decade will show a much more
woqderful increase than tbe tost,
One thing that retards thedevel
opment of tbe manufacturing inter
ests of many places is a want of
appreciation of tbe value and pow
er of co-operation and tbe inaugu
ration of manufseturingfenterp rises
by many small stockholders. Tbe
l>eopie are too muen disposed to
de|iend on capitalists. Towns will
often offer large bonuses and valua
bie franchises to secure the invest
ment ot capital in manufactories,
which when firmly established arc
often used to the disadvantage ot
the towns which bellied to build
them.
There is scarcely a village of five
hundred inhabitants in the South
but should have one or more facto
ries, owned and controlled by the
people of the village and surround
ing country. Almost any commu
nity can raise $50,000 or $100,000
with which to establish such en
terprises. Say subscriptions to
stock are secured for a $100,000
enterprise as follows:
20 met) take 41,000 eac h 4 20,000
100 men take 500 each 50,000
200 men take 100 each 20,000
200 tuon take 50 each 10.000
520 men 4100,000
Let it be understood that the stock
is to be naid for in easy install
ments, say 10 i>er cent, every four
or six months. Tbe first install
ment ot $10,000 will secure the
necessarv land—possibly a water
power. 'The next installment will
procure the necessary* material tor
buildings. By tbe time the build
ings can be erected the third in
stallment becomes due and a por
tion ot tbe machinery muy be or
dered. and by the time it can be
manufactured tbe fourth and fifth
installments can be collected and
tbe machinery ordered paid for.
The sixth cull will pay freight and
for placing tbe machinery in posi
tion. The seventh will secure ma
terial and start tbe wheels to rolling
witbn healthy cash working capital.
Tbe eight, ninth and tenth as they
are called in will add to the machin
ery or buildings or other features
as'may be required. Thus, in from
three * to five years almost any
THE DKKOOUTli: CONTENTION.
Tbe Democratic party and the
country generally is to he congratu
lated upon tbe remit of the labors
of the Democratic National Con
vention. It did its work wisely
and well. Its first act was a tri
umph of reform over rascality—the
setting down upon of John Kelly
and Tammany, who sought by
threats to control the action ot the
convection. It showed that tbe
Democratic party was not to be
ruled by a corrupt fashion and
would rather he defeated in the
right than to triumph in tbe wrong
The second grestact—the adoption
of a platform before tbe nomina
tion of a candidate—showed that
the Democratic party was more
devoted to principles than men.
The third act—tbe nomination of
Governor Cleveland—showed that
tbe party was determined that its
professions for reform should be
voiced throughaman whoae official
career was a guarantee of the hon
esty of his profetelons. The fourth
act—the unanimous nomination of
Gov. Hendrick* for the Vice-Presi
dency—showed that tbe Democracy
bad not forgotten the great fraud
of 1876, and were determined to
right it so far at laid in their power.
The action of the convention was
that of a dignified, deliberate body,
met to consult upon weighty ques
tions, and not a mob to be ruled
by the impulses of the hour. In
this respect it was in masked con
trast to tbe national convention
which had preceded it a month be
fore. We belie>e that tbe work
done by <he Democratic national
convention at Chicago will lie rati
Qed bv tbe people at tbe polls next
November.

At the Chicago convention Mr.
Bacon, on behalf of the Georgia
delegation, presented the name of
Gen. J. C. Black, of Illinois, as a
candidate for the vice presidenlial
nomination. Having personally
known Gen. Black for a number of
years, we can sav that the Georgia
delegation did honor to it* heart
and hand in presenting hi* name,
for a nobler, truer-hearted man and
Democrat never lived. A fine
scholar, an eloquent orator, of fine
administrative ability, he would
have honored tbe station for which
he was named. Gen. Black declin
ed to be a candidate because be
was pledged to do all he could for
McDonald, and he would not de
sert a friend for boaora for him
self.
