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.

In politic* Mr. Reed is independent. He is a close observer and student of events, a progressive man and a patriot in the bewt sense of the word.

TllF.

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.

I* Sweat, who is known through- mt the district and State as a ina signal ability and fit liens, would be f« the one whom a large majority of citizens would select for this important position. It is not the purpme of thi: 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 we actuated by the selfish motive* of local preference alone, we could nounce our candidate anti local pride wonld *urt<iin him. the •ntion, we note the following When you see the farmers We prefer to take broader ground, and for this reason have opened our column* to a free and frank discu**ion of the Among Senator Hill* ntlerunee. to merit, of the can,Mate, alreajy in the ail allied, trben you >ee nil tlie federa tioa* of lalsir stirring; when you see in every state the great Democratic party up and afoot, it mean* that the reign of the plutocrat* i* nearly over, and the bright day of Democracy i* approaching the dawn.” The Republican primaries in Indiana have resulted in the unanimous selection of Harrison delegates. 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. F. C. Owens—Turner. W. M. Toomer—I believe Judge At kinson’s interest* are our*, and I believe patronizing home talent.

Turner is a man of na tional reputation. He is an able consti tutional lawyer, and an cxpercenced parliamentarian, he is dignified and (>oKseH.st<* the confidence ami esteem nf his colleagues. Judge Atkinson is a younger with lens exjierience than Mr. Turner, but one who would wear the cloak congressional honor* with credit to I constituency. Judge Robert* of 1 lodge, and Mr. Humphries of Brooks, are also avowed candidates, who have a distinct and res pectable following, but of whom we know little. In a hurried canvas* of our city we arc able to present the following view* ami preferences of a considerable num- lier of our representative citizen*: Judge Wright—As W. (1. Brantley is out of the race 1 am for Henry (1. Tnr- I am for Turner. W. J. Carswell- J. A. Jones—Atkinson is »uy man. W. 1>. Hamilton—I hesitate lietween Turner ami Atkinson. The former i* an experienced parliamentarian and the lat ter is an able jurist whom 1 would not like to see leave the bench. J. W. Mallon—Don’t care to express myself *0 long in advance. E. H. l’rawley, Sr.—For the nominee. Col. J. L. Sweat—1 recognize Turner’s great ability, admire Judge Atkinson, and like J hire Robert*, nor have I any persona! objection to Humphreys of Brooks, or Dr. Chappell of Laurens, ex cel* I think they simply want to ride into office on alliance shoulders. But I have no fight to make on any one, and shall content inyself, therefore, in exer cising the privilege* of a democratic citi 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, for I want to see Atkinson stay where he is. W. M. Wilson—For Atkinson limt. second said all the time. H. P. Brewer—I am changing our member of Congress, but should such a change lie comtemplated 1 fame Atkinson. Dr. B. J. Smith—Turner. L. A. Wilson—Atkinson. E. H. Meyers—Atkinson first. Turner second. 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 enter into all hearta to the salvatiou of the republic and the uplifting of mankind. 2. Wealth belong* to him who create* it. 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.

The American Express Company’s special on the Central Hudson carrying probably a million dollars, came near being robbed by one single handed des perado on Saturday last. The bravery of the express messenger, who was badly injured, and the prompt action of the conductor and train men saved the val uables. and secured the robber.
