The Independent Republican papers who boiled Blaine have all hoisted the Cleveland ticket.

In all tbe offices he has held he has made no exertion to accure bia nomination or election, but was chosen tor his eminent fit ness for tbe position and known unswerving integrity. Chosen at Mayor of Buffalo during a revolu- tion for reform, he displayed such ability and honesty that he was next chosen as Governor of New York for tbe purpoae of reforming the executive department of the State as be bad that of Buffalo, it to eminently filling that he lbould be chosen to reform the executive department of the nation. Gov. Hendricks represents the relorm ticket of 1870, and his elec tion will be a rebuke of tbe fraud 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 been uttered against his honesty. It is a grand ticket in its per- sonclle, and well represents tbe principles of reform enunciated in the platform. PRESIDENT AND VICE- PRESIDENT. Last Day of tbe Chicago Convent too. 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. It looks very much as though we should be obliged to call upon Maj. Black, tome time next March, for the keys to the postoffice, when wa shall Immediately proofed to have the box feats reduced one-hair. Geof e William Cart is has called % convention of Independent Re publicans who will not suppoit Blaine, to tie held in New York the 880. 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. (F'CAPITAI.

The oldest delegate to the Dem ocratic National Convention this ycaris Dr.Uriah Terrill, of Virgin ia, who is ninety-two years of age, served in the war of 1312, entered politics in Jackson's first campaign and went first to a National Con vention as a delegate in 1344, to vote and work for Henry Clay.

A. S. Ct'TTs, Chairman. K. G. Simmons, Secretiry. 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.
