Of tho Dcinocralu party will

To appoint Delegates to the

State Democratic Convention.
The action of tho la o Democratic
convention is to be greatly deplored
and the scenes thero enacted were
witnessed by many Luo men with re
gret and humiliation. Tho Party is
divided, two candidates are in the
Hold, and the Democracy weakened
by internal dissensions, and although
we may unite upon our National can
didates Hancock and English, yet in
our State politics Georgia presents to
the Democracy of the nation a con
dition of affairs that is truly humilia
ting. The administration of Gov.
Colquitt is vulnerable, and the attacks
that have been and will be made up
on it by the minority will have a det
rimental effect upon tho Party and
cause it to totter to its very founda
tions. This i3 to be regretted, the
two thirds rule is an old land mark
of the Democratic party and servos
to protect the people against packed
conventions, and it was this lule that
called Joseph E. Brown from plowing
a bob tailed Bull to tho Gubernato
Did you uot intend to go before
tho convention ?"
“I did. If tho convention had
nominated a full ticket, headed by a
candidate for governor, I should have
abided its decision even if it had
been against me. But whon they
sent tho governor to tho people, 1
felt that 1 had the right to go there
too. I am willing to abide their ver-
liot.”
“When did you determine not to
submit to tho convention?”
“I felt very much like uunouncing
my determination to go to tho poo-
ple, when tho convention failed to
nominate a governor. But when
snw tho race for attorney general, I
felt satisfied that no man beforo the
convention had any hope to get a
two-thirds voto. Tho convention was
(o worn out nnd tired that I felt it
was nut in tho humor to give a pa
tient hearing to any man, but that
when Mr. Hpt cr and myself had a
dead lock on the first ballot, some
new man would have been put up
and nominated. I am Hure that
would have had a majority of the
delegates, but I do not think I ceil'd
have gotten two-thirds txci pt after
lopeated ballots. I had too much at
stake to take this risk, and I felt jus
tified after tho convention had Bet
the precedent by remanding the gu
bernatorial question to the poople, in
appealing to a higher and more sa
cred tribunal than any conveutiou
can be. My cause is just—my record
is that of an honest man and nn effi
cient officer, and I am determined to
go beforo tho people for a verdict on
my course."
“You may say in conclusion,’ Mr.
Ranfroe said, “that I will get the
hearty support of a great many mem
bers of the convention. They camo to
mo afterward and assured me of this.
You remember that I was put before
tho people by a gentleman who is a
lemocratic elector for the state at
largo for Hancock and English. I
am not prepared to believe that the
pie will fail to do me justice, and that
is all I ask or havo ever asked.”
ny that emphatically. I have
been solicitdd to do so, for they
think a republican candidate will
solidify their own party. I am
in favor of letting them fightit out.’
Reporter—“But the republican
vote will he cast somehow. What
do you propose to do with it ?’’
“I am in favor fighting the or
ganization represented by Govern*
Colquitt, and believe that nine-
tenths of the republican vote will
be cast for the opposition candid
ate for governor.”
Reporter—“What do you think
of the prospect ?”
“I believe Governor Colquitt
can be defeated by the combined
vote of tho republicans and mde-
endents.^ The republicans have
little interest in this matter ex
cept to widen ns far us they can
the breach in the democratic
party. 1 shall do-all I can toward
such a result. We are thoroughly
organized on national questions,
for we know that both wings of
tho democracy are going to sup
port Hancock and English. W
shall try to make a united, good
tight on this issue, hut in the
state canvass wcare interested on-
y to the extent of making the
democratic dissensions more ser
ious.”

With Colquitt beforo the people of

friends who havo supported him
throughout the canvass. It won’t do
to twit tho anti-Colquitt’s with their
defeat, nor brag of tho way in which
their opposition was overthrown.
There is a strong probability, Col
quitt’s frionds to the contrary not
withstanding, that many of the op-
posers of Colquitt did so from a iiim
conviction that tin ir course was right.
To contiimo to designate these us
blauderers of Colquitt will only serve
to estrange them further from his
support. We expect to work for the.
lection of Colquitt if tho convention
lias given him to us as our candidate

The Preamble.
The following is the preamble
to the resolutions says the Atlanta
Constitution, adopted Wednesday
night l>y tho minority.
The committee appointed by
the meeting of delegates to the
late gubernatorial convention,who
constitute the minority ot said
convention, have had under con
sideration the question as to what
action the people of Georgia
should take to prevent the evils
which must befall the state and
the democratic party by the refu
sal of the majority of said conven
tion to consent to nominate a can
didate for governor of Georgia,
that majority blindly clinging to
one man and refusing to accept
any other of the hundreds of good,
truo, intelligent and upright men
in the state when the minority,
day after day and hour after hour,
agreed unanimously to nominate,
has left the democratic party in
Georgia without a standard bearer
for the high office of* governor.
