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.
TWO KINDS OF WOMEN
need Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion — those who want to be mane
strong, and those who want to be
made well. It builds up, invigor
ates, regulates, and cures.
It’s for young girls just entering
womanhood ; for women who have
reached the critical “ change of
life ” ; for women expecting to be
come mothers ; for mothers who
are nursing and exhausted; for
every woman who is run - down,
delicate, or overworked.
For all the disorders, diseases, and
weaknesses of women, “ Favorite
Prescription ” is the only remedy
so unfailing that it can be yuar
anj*jxl. If it doesn’t benefit or
enre, in every case, the money will
be returned.
There’s nothing likely to be
“just as good.”
