THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES--RECORDEB; FRIDAY, JULY 11, ^02.
THE SOUTH IV FAVOR OF HILL.
A BILLION-SQUAB SESSION.
Concerning the recent Tiiden Club
_ meeting end the abusive lengoage and
» intemperate criticisms of Bryan and
Watterson, the Chicago Chronicle
cays: "No great amount of discern
ment is necessary to grasp the fact
that the New York meeting was in.
tended to introduce David Bennett Hill
as a modest aspirant for the presiden
tiai nomination of a nnited Democracy.
Whatever else may be said about him,
it cannot betfenied that Gov. Hill is a
representative Eastern Democrat. If
New York is to present a candidate to
the national Democracy with any hope
of success, he mutt appear to have
the support of the party in his own
State and section. The Tiiden Clnb
function developed another fact very
conclusively, and that is that the
Cleveland and Hill factions of the
Democratic party, tong estranged, are
willing to co-operate hereafter. It
things have come to such a pass thst
the veteran Democrats of the East,
with Grover Cleveland appearing as a
private in their ranks, cannot propose
to the Democrats of the nation snch a
fighting leader as Gov. Hill without
causing a volcanic eruption of mud
in other sections of the country, we
will have to assume that too many
Democrats need to learn again the
first principle of Democracy, which is
toleration.”
Toleration is a virtue which is ut
terly foreign to the natnres of some
men. In the fierce criticisms of the
Tiiden Clnb meeting which have em
seated from souie quarters personal
disappointment, spite, revenge and
hate have been too clearly apparent to
be coneealed or effectively denied
As to Gov. Hill, he is regarded as a
presidential candidate with more favor
by the. South than any man who has
been mentioned, He is more popular
with Tennessee Democrats than any
Demoerat who has been named as a
possible candidate for President. No
body doubts Hill’s Democracy; no
body questions his ability. He is a
very poor Democrat who conld not
cheerfully hail Hill as the Democratic
nominee for President. Where is the
Democrat of whom it can be said
that he wonld make a stronger can
didate or oommand a larger vote, than
Hill?
It may be that the party will deem it
advisable, to take np Judge Parker,
of New York, or some man who has
not yet been mentioned or even
thought of, when the time oomes to
make a nomination; bnt if it decides
to nominate a man of national reputa
tion, whose qualities as a leader have
been demonstrated, whose Demooraoy
is unquestioned and whose ability is
universally conceded it can find no
available man who wonld more oom
mand than David B. Hill.-Naahville
American.
If the Democratic party expeots to
win in 1904 it bad just as well make up
its mmd right now to give Bryan,
Cleveland, Hill and Watterson to un
derstand that they are not the whole
thing, and that the party can frame a
platform and nominate a candidate
withont either or all of them.—Albany
Herald.
An Irish pbysteian claims to have

,The first session of the Fifty-eeventh
Congress has occupied seven months of
time sad has performed an unusual
amount of work. Whatever creditor
discredit attaches to its labors mast be
charged to the Republican majority
While some of its acts meet with gen
eral approval its record as a whole is
not to the credit of the party responsi
ble nor to the .best interests of the
country. Some of its legislation is of
an important character, and in some
respects the session will be historic.
One of its most important acts is the
pasiage of the isthmian canal bill, and
another is the enactment of the
Philippine government bit}. The
Fifty-fifth Congress became known
as the "billion dollar Congress.” It
baq been eclipsed by the present Con
gress, which must be charged up with
neatly a billion dollar session. Its ap.
propriations amount to more than (937,
000,00*)—the largest ever made at a
single session. This is almost an incon
ceivable amount of money. To the
criticisms of the billion dollar congress
the Republicans replied that this is a
billion dollar country. The country
may be said to have indorsed the
Republican position, for it has elected
two Republicans Congresses since that
time. The matter rests with the peo
pie. When the majority grows tired of
snch expenditures it will .manifest its
will at the polls. Until the country
enters a protest snch expenditures
mar be expected to steadily and rapid
ly increase. *

THE STATE PLATFORM-
The platform was all right in the
main. It did the right thing in not
indorsing and reaffirming the last na
tionai platform of the party adopted at
Kansas City. It has the right ring on
trnsie and imperialism, and will com.
mand the cofidenoe of the people in
most all matters of state eoncern Upon
which it made declarations and especi.
ally those parts relating to better and
more nniform assessment of taxation
and of the development of the State's
resources. This is the field for
the statesman’s talent in this State
now, and we trust onr pnblio men will
prove themselves . eqait to it right
away.
MANILA'S CHOLERA CCOURGE.
To Date There Have Eecn 10,332 Cccea
and 7,713 Deaths.
Manila. July 5-—Fifty-four new cages
of cholera are reported In Manila, with
35 more deaths from the disease.
The totals for the provinces since
the outbreak are 10,332 esses of chol
era and 7,713 deaths. The healih
board has abandoned .the quarantlae
of persons who have been In .contact
with cholera cases as being Ineffec
tive and has substituted disinfection.
The board has also abandoned the
cremation of the dead, and has sab-
stltuted quicklime at burlsls. In order
to meet the religious objections of the
people.
Atlanta, July 2.—Georgia’s Demo
cratic convention met at noon today
In the hall of the house of represen-
tatlves. Chairman Edward T. Brown
called the meeting to order. John T.
Bolfeulllet, of Bibb, and Charles Nor-
then, of Fulton, were elected secretar
ies.
Several hundred delegates were fn
the hall when the convention was
called to order. TUe session will prob
ably be a short one unless the fight on
the local option plank brings about
a lengthy discussion.
The best information leads to the
belief that ah effort will be made to
have adopted as a part of the platform
a paragraph deprecating the bringing
of tbe liquor question Into politics at
all, urging that it be everywhere omit
ted from politics and Indorsing the
present nonpartisan legislation on tbe
subject, which Is the local option law
now in force. Should even so con-
servatlve an expression as this be-of
fered by th. platform committee, there
Is no doubt that It will meet with op
position from a large number of dele
gates, and It la likely that several
speecbes on the subject wll be made
on the convention floor.
The following ticket will be nomi

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Atlanta, fit.
Atlanta, July 3.—The state Dem
ocratic convention yesterday nominat
ed Hon. Joseph M. Terrell for gov
ernor, placed before the people the
other candidates for state bouse of
fices, judges and solicitors, named a
new state executive committee with
Hon. B. T. Brown at Its head, indorsed
Senator Clay for re-election by tbe
legislature and adopted a platform In
which the plank of chief Interest, per
haps, was that urging that the liquor
question be kept out of politics and in-
doming the present non-partisan leg
islation on the subject, namely, tbe
local option law.
Feature of Platform.
This indorsement was made the feat
ure of tbe platform adopted by the
convention upon which tbe Democrat
ic candidate for the governorship will
make his campaign. That he and his
platform will be given the approval
of the people of tbe state at the polls,
and by an overwhelming majority. Is
as certain as tbe coming of election
day.
This plank of the platform wae writ-
ten by Hon. J. M. Terrell himself.
The Indorsement of local option,
this recognition of the.existing meth
od of dealing with the vexed questions
appertaining to tbe restriction of tho
liquor traffic, this acceptance of local
option as the doctrine of the party,
was in the following paragraph in
tbe platform:
We do not believe the cause of tern>
perance should be made a political
issue In tbls state. Tbe best Into,--
esta of tbe people, as well as tbe fur-
therance of that cause, demand the
complete separation of this question
from personal and party politics. We
approve the wisdom and safety of the
non partisan policy which character
izes our present legislation upon this
subject and edmmend the same to the
people of the state.”
The vote for governor stood: Ter
rell, 196; Estlli, 82, and Guerry, 66.
The following Is the platform in
full as adopted:
’’The Democracy of Georgia In con
vention assembled congratulate tho
people upon the reunion of tho white
people of this state In tho Democratic
party and pledge them such an admin-
istratioij of the state’s affairs as will
afford complete protection to life, lib
