BARNESVILLE GA., THURSDAY AUGUST 9, 1894 The State Convention The State Democratic Convention met in Atlanta last week. It was probably the largest, most harmo nious, most enthusiastic and most determined convention ever held by any political party in Georgia. The convention was organized by the election of Hou. James S. Boynton of Grifhuas temporary chairman. Hod. A. S. Clay was elected permanent chairman, and lie has goue actively into the work of the campaign. Hon. W. Y. Atkinson was nominated for governor with gieat euthusiasm, and made an excellent speech accepting the nomination. It was lofty and pa; triotic. The following were nominated for state house officers: Secretary of State—A. D. Cand ler. Comptroler General —W. A. Wright, Treasurer—R. U. Hardeman. Attorney General—J. M. Terrell. Commissioner of Agriculture—R. T. Nesbitt. Messrs. Richard Johnson of Jones and Douglas Glessner of Spaulding represent the Sixth district on the new executive committee. A resolution was passed authoriz ing the holding of the nomination for governor and state house officers in ail counties of the state on the same day. 1894 The platform is au excellent docu ment. On it all democrats can stand. On the silver question the conven tion adopted tne only plaDk possible, giving proper consideration to the various views entertained by demo crats on this important question. Mr. Cleveland was strongly en dorse tin the following. “Aeliave au abiding faith in the courage, wisdom, bonesty and patriot ism of President Cleveland aud ap preciate the difficulties confronting his administration in its efforts to remedy the evil effects of republican mierule and extravagance. The platform on which somewhere about 1000,00 majority will be rolled up is as follows: “We, the representatives of the democratic party of Georgia, in con vention assembled, declare our unfal tering faith in the principles which brought tLe party into existence u>.- der the wise leadership of Jefferson, and which gave victory to the demo cratic party in 1892, under the mas terly leadership of Grover Cleveland. We declare anew our devotion to the fundamental principles of sound de mocracy; that the federal govern ment is one of limited powers deriv ed only from the constitution; deter mined opposition to all centralizing tendencies; a strict adherence to the doctrine of local sdf-governmenf, and of the rights cf each state to govern itself and exercise all func tions of government not delegated in the constitution to the federal gov ernment; taxation only for the pur poses of government, honestly ad ministered; gold and silver, the money of the constitution as primary money; equal and exact justice to all men, and the courageous and faith ful discharge of official duties. “We denounce the socialistic, pat ernal and centralizing ideas now sought to be pjropagated in our midst as dangerous and destructive heresies which if successful, would debtrone liberty and enslave the people. “While it is true that only state of ficers are to be nominated by this convention, and only state officers are to be elected at the appiroaching October election, and that the direct question upon which the people are now to pass—whether or not the de mocratic party should be entrusted with and continued in control of our state government —makes it a state and not a national contest, yet, we cannot ignore the fact that we are deeply and vitally interested in those national questions which can only be solved by the federal government and which now challenge the earn est attention and piatient thought of every patriot. “We hereby approve of and reaf firm our allegiauoe to the principles of the Georgia state platform of 18- 92, and of the platfoim of the der-o cratic party adopted by the rational convention iu 1892, and especially do we insist upon those partd relat ing to the taiiff and currency. Upon the great question of currency, we reiterate tne principles anu purposes of our national pdatform, endorsed with such unparalleled unanimity by the people in 1892, and urge upon our senators and representatives in congress, and upon our prident, a speedy repeal of the prohibitory tax upon the .’SBUe of state banks. “We demand the immediate pras- sage of such legislation as will re store silver to its constitutional posi tion as a money metal, and will se cure at ouee the free aud unlimited coinage of gold and silver on a pari ty, aud give to every dollar in circu lation, whether coin or paper, the same debt-paying aud purchasing power. “We further demand just and equitable tax on iucomes. “We guarantee to the people of Georgia a eoutinuauce of a wise and honest administration of state affairs iuauguarted and maintained by the democratic party and which has se cured to the people of Georgia for so many years the blessing of good gov ernment. “We are opposed to government ownership of railroads, but we fivor aud Till enforce laws providing for rigid and just control. “While the present contract for the lease of the stale’s convicts has not expired, its approaching termina tion demands the consideration of this grave public question and we pledge tlie democratic party to take such steps as will enable the state, when this question does arrive, to dispose of the convicts in such man ner as to secure them proper treat ment and impose upon them legal punishment without their becoming a burden to the taxpayers of the state and without permitting them to come in competition with fiee la bor. “Recognizing that the education | of the people is necessary to the ele vation of the citizen and to the main tenance and preservation of free gov ernment, the democratic parly obli gates itself to maintain its system of common schools for the education of all the children of the state in the elementary branches of an education free, and to continue to improve the same aud increase the fund as vapid ly as the financial condition of the people will permit. “Obedience to liw is tbe first du ty of a citizen: a faithful, speedy and impartial administration is tbe high eat duty of the state, and we com deinn every form and species of mob violence aud lynch law, and, appeal to citizens of every clatis aud condi tion to assist in tueir prevention and puuishmeut. “ vVe congratulate the entire coun try upon the repeal, by this congress, of the federal election laws and now urge upon that honorable body the ueci ssity for a speedy enactment of the pending tariff b.ll in such form as will insure for it the united sup port of ail democrats, in both branch es of congress, aod its approval by a democratic executive. “We especially commend the pres ident and the house of representa tives and the senators from Georgia for their patriotic endeavors to have emoted, as near as possible, a tariff for revenue only. Democratic success is of more vital concern to Georgia now than it has been siuce the days of recount! uc tiou.
