The Stem of the Cactus. If you ask that convenient fiction, the Man in the Street, what sort of plant a cactus is, he will probably tell you it is all leaf and no stem, and each of the leaves grows out of the last one. Whenever we set up the Man in the Btreet, however, you must have noticed we do it in order to knock him down again like a ninepin the next moment, and this particular instance is no excep tion to the rule; for the truth is that a cactus is practically all stem and no leaves, what looks like a leaf being really a branch sticking out at an angle. The true leaves, if there are any. are reduced to mere spines or prickles on the surface, while the branches in the prickly pear and many of the ornamental hothouse cactuses are flattened out like a leaf to perform fol'ar functions. —Grant Allen in Popular Science Monthly.

When Clay county was reached, two delegations answered and sent their testi monials to the desk. From Fulton the compromise delegation and the mass meeting delegation were present, and a contest was announced. Mr. Simmons, of Gwinnett, made a point of order thai no contesting delegation could vote until it had been pa-sed upon bv the commit tee on credentials. The chairman ruled that those delegates whose seats were not contested could vote. When the result of the vote of counties was announced lion. J. AV. Robertson arose in his'place and moved that the selection of Hon. Pope Barrow us tempo rary chairman be made unanimous. Ths was concurred in. Chairman Atkinson appointed Hon. J. W. Robertson, Hon. W. L. Bender and Hon. Hoke Smith ns » committee to escort Hon. Pope Harrow to the chair. As Hon. Pope B irrow reached the speaker’s stand Colonel Robertson, advancing from the top sifcp to the desk strctch id out his haud to the conven'iou with diunity: “I am a stra gor to a part of V u, hut I thank God that Georgains are neighbors and a 1 demoents Hre friends. (Applause.) I have the honor to present to you as jour presiding officer a man of more abil ty iu the chair ihan my-elf,but not a better democrat, Hon. Pope Bar row, of Clarkb county. Mr. Barrow was receive l with great en'husiatm and ac knowledged the honor of his eh ction in a speech which w.s frequently ap plauded. It was an argumeut for tariff r form and Grover Cleveland. At 'he conclus on of his address Chair man Barrow stated the convention would proee. d to the business of permanent or ganiratio ». Hon. W. H. Fleming, of Richmond, moved that Hon. W. A. Hariis, of "Worth, Hun. Mark Hardin, of Bartow, aud H"n. Henry H. Cabani»s, of Fulton, be made clerks to the convention. These gentlemeu were unauimouslv elected. Mr. Most 8, of Coweta, brother of the congressman, moved th.ta committee on erode rials, consisting of one irorn each congressional distiict be appointed. This motion was carried. lion. L. F Garrard introduced a reso lution which went to the commi’tee on platform and resolutions, and was after wards adopted as the platform of the convention with sorao slight changes. Hon. L. F. Garrard, of Muscogee, then offer- d a resolution providing that a com mittee, consisting of one member from each congressional district, be appointed by the chairman of th.' convention, to be known hs the “ciinniittec on platform and resolutions,” to whom shall be re ferred all resolutions submitted to the convention. This resolution was adopted. The chairman then announced the member* of the > ommittee u« < r. <1 » ial an 1 the convention then adjourned, on motion, until 3:30 o’clock. AFTER THE RKCBsa. The delegates ate a hasty dinner, but tl in :nb r> of the committee on creden >i os were engaged in hearing contesting <leh gatiors and did not even get a sand wich. Back through the rain the dele gates trudged from the hotel. The spectators filled the galleries before the hour of re-assembling came. Chairman Barrow’s right arm was somewhat rested when he picked up the gavel and brought it down with a resounding rap promptly at 3:30 o’clock. As the convention came to ' rder Chairman Tiny Rucker, of the credentials committee, got the eye of the chairman and RBked for twenty minutes more time to finish bearing the contests from Fulton and Clay counties. The time was granted. Scab Wright, of Rome, was the next to get the attenti»n of Chairman Barrow, ‘T desire to in quire,” said he, “when the committee on platform will report. There are a great many pcopie who want some things in that p ntform and they want them very much.” "The committee on platform has not tier n appointed,” the chair stated The clerk then read the following as the com mittee: First congressional district, B.R. Harris, of Wayne; second, W. C. Gunn, of Randolph; third, J. B. Torresser, of Lee; fourth, Louis Gnrrrrd.of Mu*cogee; fifth. Hoke Smith, of Fulton; sixth, R. VV. Pat erson, of Bibb; seveoth, J. W. Maddox, of Floyd; eiuhtb, Hal Lewis, of Greene; ninth, Mr. Pike, of Jackson; tenth, W. H. Fleming, of Richmond; eh venth, B. P. Jones, of Lowndes. A delegation from the first announced that Mr, Harris, of Wayne, is a resident of the eleventh distnct and not of the first. Mr. Branham, of Bulloch, was substitu ted for Harris, of Wayne. A motion was made that further debate be limited to five minutes for each speaker and this was carrii d. The committee on resolu tions and platform prepared to rotire and a doz"n deb gates w ith platforms started to their manuscript. DRAFTS OF PLATFORMS. Captain Fred Foster, of Morgan coun ty, handed up the following and had them read: Resolved 1 That the bank ing laveß be so changed and amended as to permit the issue of currency based on state bonds of approved value, on the same terms as such issues are noVv allow ed and guaran'eed by the general gov ernment on United States bonds. Resolved 2. That it is tho true policy of tic- demi cratic party so soon as said party shall get control of the national government to have removed by comiie tent national legislation tho restriction now existing which prohibits the national banks from taking real estate as securi y fir loans. Resolved 3. That state and national banks as to taxation ij: put upon the s in.e footing under the laws. These resolutions were referred to the committee on platfoim Colonel Garrard, of Muscogee, handed up a longer set of re olutions endorsing the free coinage of silver, opposing the concentration of federal power, declaring thut » surplus in the treasury is a glitter ing ti nipt a inn for thieves and p ui.der ■ rs, opposing government control of the telegraph und telephone, demanding economy in the administration of the government, tariff reform, the abolition of the tax on state banks and the inaugu ration of asta'c banking system,demand ing an income tax, the election of United States senators by direct vote of the peo ple, diclarirg against dealing in futures in agricultural products and agricultural implements, an increase in the volume of currency to at least SSO per capi'a, en dorsing Georgia’s railroad commission laws, declaring against the alien owner ship of land and the force bill. When the freo coinage resolution was read the convention yelled its approval and went wild. And there was a similar scene when the banking resolution was rend. Later, these resolutions of Colonel Gar rard’s were substantially adopted as the p'n’form. Colonel Garrard’s resolutions went immediately to the committee on platform. FOR FREE SILVER. Hon. M. P. Carroll gained the floor and sent to the clerk’s desk the follow ing resolutions; R> solved, That the democratic party of Georgia favors the free and unlimited coinage of silver mined in the United Stab s. Resolved 2. That the delegates elected to tne national convention be instructed not to vote for any delegate not favoriag the free and unlimited coinage of silver. These resolutions were received with thundrous applause, which lasted for s me moments. They were referred to the committee on resolutions. The order of business of the convention was then adopted. A resolution by Mr. Mcßride, of Har alson, very similar to that of Mr. Gar rard, was introduced, and after being rear! was sent to the committee on plat form and resolutions. THE CLAY COUNTY CONTEST. Hon. Tinsley W. Rucker, of Clarke, chairman of the committee on credentials, came in and reported as follows: “We have taken up the contest from Clay county, and, after investigating the facts in the case, have decided to let. each del egation east one vote with the conven tion; in o'hcr words, to divide the vote of the county between the two delega tions ” This was received witli applause. The o airman then put the report of the committee before the convention, and it wr.s adopted. TIIK FULTON CONTEST. The interest of tile delegates and spec tut rs was cent'red in the contest betwe-n the two delegations from Fulton. The gal cry w.s peeked with people interested in the announcement of the result. “In the contest from Fu'ton county,” Mr. Rucker w< nt on, after the Clay corn tv contest was out of the way, “our com mitt e has decided that the twelve dele gates elected by -he miss-meeting of Slav 14th are entitled to seats in this convention.” This little speech was received with applause by the Cleveland coutingeir. and long cries of dissent fr >m t e a- ti Cleveland delegates. II >n. W. E. Sim inons, of Gwinnett, obtained the floor, and read the folio»ing as a substitute f- r the report of the committee on er dentials: “That the compromise dt-lega tion from Fulton couuty be seated Considerable d scussion was elicited ov< i the contest, but the matter wss final! settled by a vole of counties. The vot bcieg announced, the substitute was de clared lost, and a vote was taken on adopting the committee's report seating ihe straightout Cleveland delegation irom Fulton. This was carried and tne delegation was seated. NOMINATING DELEGATES. The chair announced that the conven •' would nr reed tot e uomina ion • delegates for the state at Urge. The nominees were: James M. Smith, of Oglethorpe; Fleming G. dußignon, of Chatham; DuPont Guerrv, of Bibb; F. 11. Mcliardson, of Fulton; Evan P. Howell, of Fnlton; Patrick "Walsh, of R ehmond, and Janies Dupree, of Macon. The first four had been nominated by the Cleve land element the last three, with Colonel Smith, were the nominees of the anti-Cleveland element. Now came the tog of war. Thta was looked upon aa tke contest between the Cleveland and anti- Cleveland strength. The voting was iiveij. and spirited, when Chtbtnafi Boykin Wright, of the Richmond del egation, arose and stated that in tho interest of peace ar d li r inony and to show that th< re was no hostile feeling he would move that the four genthmen who had received the highest vote bo nominated by acclama tion. This set the convention wild. Chairman Barrow put the motion and it was carried with a prolonged shout as from one throat. Messrs. Smith, dußignon, Richardson and Guerry were declared elected. When the roll call had stopped the v. te was, Smith 276, dußignon 240, Richardson 184, Guerry 169, Howell 147. Walsh 128 and Dupree 143. Mr. L. F. Garrard, of Muscogee, moved that the delegates from the state at large be allowed to select their own alternates. This motion was carried. Hoke Smith then introduced a resolu tion endorsing Grover Cleveland and l is wise and patriotic administration, cc. He also introduced the foilowhg: ‘Be it resolved, That deli gVes to Chicago be instruct'd to vote as a unit.” Both these rcsohitb ns were referred. As to th<‘ regular order of bu-incss, a recess of flfrein minuPs was takcu to allow the congressional districts to select their delegates. At the expiration of the fifteen minutes all the caucuses had ended but that of the fifth district. It was half jra-t v o clock wiien Ciiainu n Barrow called the convention to order at the end of the short recess. He announced that the reports of the districts of the names of delegates to Chicago would be ie ceivcd. There was a murmur of excite ment in the hail. It had been whbperrd around that the Cleveland raei would attempt to scratch the names of HUi rm> whcr> they were pre sented by the fffSsricts as delegates :o Chicago, and a hot fii/ht w s expected. The first distr ct was called for, and Hon. Mr. MrGie, of Tattnall, sro e to report, the action: of the caucus, ’ie re ported the following name* fo: delegates slating that they were both distinguished citizens of Georgia, and pronounced Clevr land non; George A Mercer, of Chatham WH lain CHI on. of Chatham. Alternates: Hon. A. G. Smart, of Emanuel; Hon. N. P Wade, of Set even. The m mes had hardly beeu read befo>< II n. Seaborq Wright, an ardent unti- Clevcland man, arose and moved that they be eleceil by iicctam dion. This was done amidst api lause. Tmc WARRING SECOND. lion. Bill Ilnrri-, of W rth, announced from 'he ch rk’s desk that a rtp rt from the second district cam us was in order. Hon. Richard Hobbs, of D nehertv county, arose and annnunc d the fol ow ing Daßies as delegate'': James M Briggs, of Terndl; John Tiiplett, of Thomas. Alternates: John G. McPh ul, of Worth, and L. A. M. Colins, of Mitchell. He moved tl at this delegation be elected by acclamatiou. This was done »mid cheering. The third district was then announced, and W. O. It graham read the following names as the choice of the caucus for delegates: Bascoin Myrick, of Sumter; C. C. Duncan, of Houston. Alti mates —O. J. Wi lis and C. J. Latbmp. He moved tbeir election by acclamation, but at this moment a minority report was presented naming Hon. B. L. Ross and Hon. W r . M. Hawkes, of Sumier, as del egates to Chicago. Appended to these names was a Btiuement iu writing giv ng the lensons of thesigners for submitting n minority rejP®fc*.One of tho reasons was that three! counties were not repre sented in the ameus, and a motion to postpone tho c'ucus was voted down. The signers of the minori y report had been informed that these absent from the caucus would not have voted for the names presented by the majority report. Now came on the biggest, bitterest, hot test fight of all the convention, ihe greatest confusion reigned. Every dele gate from the third district was on his feet, in chairs, on tables and everywhere. Not a word could be heard. The minority report was signed by the delegates from (rawford, Houston, Twiggs, and Stewart. Hon. Scab Wright moved that the delegates from the third district be allowed to retire mid sclict their delegates. A number of gen tlemen addressed the chair. Mr. Wright withdrew his motion. Red-hot speech, s were made, and matters were ouly quieted when Mr. Forrester, of Lee, who pre sented the minority report, came forward aud withdrew it. When the lively skirmish was over the fourth district was cuiled. Hon. L. F. Garrard, of Columbus, and Hon. L. P Mundeville, of Carroll, were named for the fourth.- Alternates: .Mr. 8. H. Christopher, of Marion. Mr. Mandevillo was not present and his alternate was not selected. These delegates were elected by acclamation. Mr. Joe Jones, of Douglas, reported the names for the fifth. They were Hon. George Hillyer, of Fulton, and Hon. M. A. Candler, of D.Kalb Ho announced that the caucus bail authorized them to set. ct their »«n slteruat s. The two w.nt through by aecama'inn. U»u.

To the grac.ti. atioa of the convention, ’he committee , n credentials came in at his m .ineut and announced that it was eady to rep. it. The following platform w ,s read: 1. Resolved, Ths* we, »hn Jem.'era's of ! Georai , in comet 1< n assembled, reaffl m our j avodo# to tbs urn*.honored prinacpie* of our ' history and party.

We believe that the same care and cau tion slu.nlil b u.ed by the government, bo h state and national, in th expenditure of publio money as is used by prudent men in their own private affa rs. 3. Vi e believe that the right of taxation was deleg-a ed to the govirnmint, both slate and ationai, to be u-ed only for absolute neces sities. and any other use of this power is dis honest and tyran ioil. 4. A surplus revenuo in the trrasury is a glittei iug pr xo to i e sought after by political thieves and plunderers. 5. We are uucorrpromis ngly opposed to the enlargem nt and comen traton of federal pow ers j to the usurpation by the central gov ernment to he functions of state ; o bonn'ies and subsidies in ev ry firm; to every species of class legislation and government parmer ship w th private enterpri-ss ; to the whole theory and practice of | atimalism. 0.

The free coinage plank again came in for he rty cheering. Strange to say not a word of debate followed and the plat form was put through with a rush. THIC UNIT HULK DEFEATED. Il was now nearly 8 o’clock. There was hut little more to do. Adjournment was close st hnnd . Hoke Smith’s reso lulion endorsing ex-President Cleveland and another iustiucting the delegation to Chicago to vote as a unit wire read. This made violent confuaion. The chair put the two resolutions, and declared them carried. Colonel Simmons appealed from the decision of ihe chair.
