S. B. JONES, Ch’m. 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.” Tho Republican Programme The Constitution yesterday consulted lion Jonathan Norcross on the situation, and found him ready to talk and willing to tell what the republicans intend to do lie said: The republican state conven Sunday School Convention.

Perry Home Journal. With Colquitt beforo the people of Georgia as tho candidate lor govern or, wc desire 11 give warning to his 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 bat we will not stand abuse for otu course iu tho preliminary canvass.

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.
