fine talk of fifteen minutes Mr. V. L.
Stanton, seconded the nomination oh

Resolutions Gent to Denver.
The secretary was instructed to for
ward the resolutions to the Georgia
delegation, through Hon. Peter W.
Meldrim, chairman, and also to ask
that the action of the convention,
first of this nature in the South, be
reported by the press agencies.
The action of the convention was
the theme for much discussion during
the afternoon, the delegates being
unanimous on the proposition
Since the Eleventh is the banner dis
trict of Georgia, with its 22,000 votes
in the recent primary, the action of
its convention, it is urged, should
have weight at the Denver convention
The following is tho resolutions:
The Resolution.
"Resolved, That the Democratic con
vention of the Eleventh Congressional
district of Georgia, now in session,
expresses the opinion that If the Na
tional Democratic Convention, when It
assembles In Denver on Tuesday next,
should nominate John A. Johnson, of
Minnesota, for President, and William
Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska, for Vice
President, fhls ticket would sweep
the country in the Novemcbr election
by the largest majority In our history.
"We also feel assured that If Mr.
Bryan will rise to that supreme hlglit
of statesmanship, which the hour de
mands, and give his consent for the
above ticket to be named by the Na
tional Convention, it will mark him as
not only the grandest statesman of
the age, but it will cause his name to
go down in history as one of the
servants.
“We think that the best interests
of the country uomand that the sug
gestions we make should receive
grave consideration at the hnnds of
Mr. Bryan, and as well the national
convention when It assembles.
"A moment’s reflection Is enough to
convinco the American people that
this ticket would prove invincible.
"Be it further resolved, that the na
tional convention be requested to
nominate the above ticket and de
clare that the great fight In the com
ing campaign be made, first, for ri-
vision of the tariff; second, for the
restoration of constitutlola govern
ment, and third, ir tne economical ad
ministration of the government In
place of the riotous extravagance now
being practiced.”
The Convention Token to 8ea.
After the convention had adjourned
Saturday at Brunswick, the entire
crowd became the guest* of the Glynn
County delegation and were taken
on a most enjoyable ride on the steam
boat, E. F. Correy. The tug carried
them past St. Simons light and about
eight miles out to sea. There were
about one hundred and fifty guests,
and they enjoyed every moment of
the time spent on the water. A spec
ial feature of the excursion was the
lunch that was served daring the en
tire time the boys were on the sea.
The bill of fare consisted In part of
40 dozen crab fresh and warm from
the pot, three bushels of shrimp be
sides all aorta of other good things
which were supposed to have been

IN BILLION IN GOLD.
When the average man reads that
congress at its recent session spent
more than a billion dollars, he gets
a vague impression that this is a lot
of money, but he does not appreciate
what an enormous sum it really is. It
iielpa some to realize that the actual
expenditure was elg.it milli-ns more
than a billion, apd that these millions,
regardless of tne fact that a million
is u lot of money, are thrown off to
make a round number, as a grocer,
mlgflht throw off a few cents to please
a good customer.
Congressman Hamllue, of Missouri,
has been doing a little figuring to
bring the immensity of tills expendi

that It would take thirteen $20 gold
pieces to make t pou’*«. and 27,-wo
