DA VJD B. HILL.
The great New York State convention,
met to elect delegate* to the National
Democratic Convention and presiden
tial elelection for 1892, i* now a part
of history. It was a foregone certainty
that I>avid B. Hill would lie the choice
of a majority of the delegate*. It was,
however, not *0 certain that there would
lie that overpowering unanimity that
characteriicd the proceeding* of last
Moutlay, and that will make its iuipicm
on the country, hut will not serve to
avert that struggle that is sure to come
in the national convention between the
followers of Hill ami Cleveland.
Another convention of New York
Democrats, who oppose Senator Hill,
lias lieen called to meet on May .'list, at
Syracuse.
The following platform was adopted
by the New York State Democratic
Convention:
"The Democratic j«»rty «»f the State of
New York in convention assembled, re
news the pledge of its fidelity to th<
great cause of tariff reform, and to tin
whole l>emocratic faith ami tradition a
affirmed in our national platforms fmn
J87ti to 1888, as well ns in our State
platforms current to the o|»ening of G«
Widen’* brief and the close of G.
Hill’s long, thrice approved and alike
illustrious service iu the chief magistry
of the Empire State.”

"1. Hold and silver only legal tender;
no currency inconvertible with coin.
••2. Steady step* toward specie pay
ments; no step backward.
"3. Honest payment of the public
debt in coin; sacred preservation of the
public faith.
*•4. Revenue reform; federal taxation
for revenue only; no government partner-
ship with protected monojiolie*.
••ft. Home rule to limit and localize
moat jealously the few jstwers entrusted
to public servants, municipal ami fed
eral;' no centralization.
"6. Equal and exact justice to all
men; no partial legislation; no partial
taxation.
“7. The presidency a public trust, not
a private perquisite; no thin! term.

that labor may 1* lightly burdened.”

In politic* Mr. Reed is independent.
He is a close observer and student of

in the bewt sense of the word. For twen
ty-three yean he lima lived in, and
worked for, the South, has all his inter

TllF. Herai.I> agrees with the Brum
wick Time* that in selecting a con
gre**iiiaii to represent our district w
should consider fitness of the individual
rather than his place of residence, am
yet it would lie an unwarranted assmnp
tion to hold that any one locality po*-
nesses a im»no|*dy of congressional talent.
The prime requisite* of a representative
are ability to take a coniprehensiv
of all public questions, and to arrive at a
definite and logical conclusion wii
gard to them. A personality that
inamls confidence and respect, a courage
to give unyielding support to 11
calculated to affect favorably the wel
fare of the country, even though such
measure* may cause the teni|M>i
of votes; and the energy and foresight to
demand proper recognition for all the
aried interests of the district which the
iicmlter represents.
Measured by these requirement we lie

Col. J. I* Sweat, who is known through-

the one whom a large majority of

article, however, to propose Col. Sweat
as a candidate, a* we undersisnd he has
declined to allow his name used, hut
we wish it clearly understood that were

THU HERALD, VOLITU'ALL )
Beginning with the aalutatory of the
present editorship of the Hkrai.i* up to
it* issue of last week, our editorials have
received the compliment of being com
mented on or quoted from by different
uewspaper* through the State.
Them* notice* have been fraternal and
in a spirit of appreciation, except in the
case* of a small, patent-outside exchange,
and an erratic little sheet in Berrien Co.,
that do not find the polities of the Her-
ai.i* cut to fit their own little measure.
A narrow mind very naturally grows
prejudice* |which it mistakenly labels
principle.
These two exchange* are insisting that
the Hkrai.d is not Democratic. Per
haps we are not Democratic according
to the measure in which the editor of
obscure weekly newspaper lias grn
Am Democracy. It is too small for us,
and, much as we regret to be discourte
ous. too much like the din of a gong that
conveys nothing more valuable to it*
hearer* than a dreadful noi*e.
The* Democrat who can only shout on
all occasion* “I’m a Democrat!’’ dm*
the cause little good.
It is the Democrat who informs him
self on the great principle of Democracy
as conceived by such master minds a*
Jefferson, Patrick Henry and Calhoun
that should hold the editorial pen.
The present editor of the Hrraui
has the distinction of Southern parent
age and the advantages of Democratic
teaching from the cradle. However,
education ha* been, fortunately, of sufic-
iently cosmopolitan a character to enable
us to think independently, to realize
that no party however good in inception
but can nurture faults, and that the
party that does not keep in the line of
progression is doomed to be crowded out
of existence.
The Herald will hardly be discon
certed by ding* at the department al
lotted to the Alliance. If Democracy
cannot afford to Tate* to the plea of tie
tiling sons of the soil who are support
ing the life of the nation, then Democ
racy b not aa strong as we thought.
Democracy cannot afford to spend its
tier second.

tional reputation. He is an able consti
tutional lawyer, and an cxpercenced
parliamentarian, he is dignified and

Judge Atkinson is a younger
with lens exjierience than Mr. Turner,
but one who would wear the cloak

Judge Robert* of 1 lodge, and Mr.

have no fight to make on any one, and
shall content inyself, therefore, in exer

zen by supporting that candidate for the
party nomination who is not only a gen
uine tariff reformer, but sound on the
question of financial relief to the coun
try, which I think of equal if not
of greater importance than the tariff,
ami one, too, who is well qualified to
promote the material interests of the
entire district.
Jas. Knox—I am in favor of Turner,

H. P. Brewer—I am

Dr. B. J. Smith—Turner.
L. A. Wilson—Atkinson.
E. H. Meyers—Atkinson first. Turner

Judge J. 8. William*—Atkinson.
Eastman Time* acknowledge*
Congressman Turner’s worth and integ-
‘ ;v, but adds: ‘‘Mr. Turner has been in
Congress six terms. Has he, during
these twelve years ever originated, in
troduced and secured the jiassage of a
ngle important measure? We ask for
information.”
The HKUAi.nhas not the Congression
al record* of the past twelve year* suffi-
'iently in mind to be able to give a po*
live answer to thi* query, but it ap
pears to u* as a very unimportant point
to raise.
Every u»an who does good work for
hi* fellow-men is not necessarily
venter or originator, nor is every faithful
representative in Congress obliged to be
the father of
guard closely and intelligently the
interests of his section, and to vot
dcrstandingly on the great questi
national polity ought to satisfy any con
stituency in it* representative.
Should Judge Atkinson receive the
nomination for Congress, why not give
the judgship to a Waycross man? Cer
tainly Brunswick doe* not desire to hold
all the office* in the district. Either
Col. J. L Sweat or Col. Leon A. Wilsou
would occupy the position creditably.
THE ST. LOUIS CONVENTION.
The convention composed of represen
tative* of the Farmers’ Alliance, Knight*
of I,abor, Reform Pres* Association and
the People’s Party, met February 22, At
St. Ixiuis. The leaders of the move-
meet apparently have the conven
tion well in hand, and the endorsement
of independent political action by the
farming and industrial classes, went
through with a hurrah.
Following i* the text of the platform
adopted.
1. We declare the union of the labor fon*s
of the United States this day accomplished,
permanent and perpetual. May ita spirit

Every dollar taken from industry without
an equivalent is robbery. If any will not
work neither shall he eat. The Interests of
rural and urban labor are the same, their
nenriesarv identical.
3. We demand a national currency, safe,
ound and flexible. Issued by the general
government only, full legal tender for all
debts, public and private, and without the
use of banking corporations; just and equit
able means of circulation, at a tax not to
exceed 2 per cent, as set forth in the sub-
treasury plan of the Farmers’ Alliance, or
some better system; also by payments in dis
charge of its obligation for public improvi
4. We demand free and unlimited coinage
5. We demand the amount of the circula
tion medium to be increased to not less than
$30 per capita.
0. We demand a graduated income tax.
7. We believe tliat tlie money of the treas
ury should l>e kept as much as possible in
the hands of tlie people, ami lichee we de

shall lie limited to the necessary expense* of
