CONCESSIONS FOR HARMONY.
, l Wo publish olMWhort) this morning
|ho resolution* Adopted by ibo Demo
cratic party at Atlanta, of which tho
lirlof abstract scut out by tho Aimocl
al«l l’ro*» did not giyo a fair Idea.
Rccausu of tho factional differences
In tho party on two questions related
to cacti other, tlio urn In interest of
Democrats tn tlio proceeding* of the
convention was, l>nforo tlio convention
nuil Is now, tn tlio nttltudo of that tiody
to tlio iidmlnlstrallon of President
Cleveland nuil Ilia silver questioa.
No one who wns present can doubt
that It was a Clcvcbmd convention.
Illvory mention of the president’s nsnio
—amt It wns mentioned frequently—
,wns greeted with almo.it frantio ap
plause. Every speaker knew ihnt tho
nudl’at and Hitawt mot hod of pleasing
tho tnombors of this Democnitlo con.
ventlon was to mention IliO nnmo of
©rover (flevolunil. Nobisty umlcrstood
that uny fnetiun represented tn tho con
volition desired to ntliick tlio president
or to full In recognition of hi* grt'iit
qualllles ns n man nml tils pre-eminent
services li» the Democratic party. Tho
resolution adopted expressed ttio nlild
lug faith of Georgia Democrats tn hi
courage, wisdom, honesty unit patriot
Ism. Thai Hie convention illd nut cm
ploy oilier fronts lu praise of lilui wns
nut dun to any unwillingness to do so;
* inr was there a ismselousness llmt dm
icrolutlun fell short lu any nmpoct of
.what tlio most nnteut admirers of tho
president could wish. It Is tmo Unit
certain resolutions offered by tlio Illbb
county delegation were not adopted,
but tills was only boemue tho i.ouvon-
tion never lieanl them rend and did not
know their tenor. Tlio attempt mudo
by till! spokesman of tlio Bibb ilolegm
lion to teeuro u hearing for them, lifter
iho platform committee had reported,
lain at night, whop tlm delegates wore
tired almost to the pntat of exhaustion,
nt tho end of llm third session, on a lipt
day, of u (errlbly ciowdisl convention
was made tn oKslIcnro to a resolution
adopted by Uio delegates before tho
and unlimited oolnage and demands
parity and equal purchasing and debt
paying power. e Thii resolution, as we
ivo said, ’m satisfactory to the Tele
graph, not because jwe believe tliat It ex
presses fully or clearly the views of
the majority of Georgia Democrats on
tills question, but bueausc, without cre
ating a falso Impression us to die opin
ions and Intentions of tlio pgrty—with
out, conceding anything whatever to
Populist Ideas of finance—it faralshis
tho t-ominon ground ou wiiicb nil Dem
ocrat* can meet, wltliont Isdug brought
Into coulUct with each other. Tlio
question Is one on which there ore dif
ferences of opinion for tho present ir
reconcilable, but wtilcli wo lielleve
time, discussion, fuller Information and
better iimlcndniidtni; of tho past rec
ord amt purposes of the party will dis
sipate. Under such circumstances,
among men prone to think for them
selves, ns oro Democrats, such differ
ences of opinion cannot be reconciled
by n victory i.f llie nuijorily over the
miuurity. If they are to ilct together,
tho differences mast bo Mr a, time Ig
nored and other work of lotiimou In
terest engaged In Until party epiniou
has had lime to unify. '
Foi this reason >o approve the plzt-
fotm. It commits u6 Democrat lo any
theory or policy to 'which ho Is by con
viction opposed, and gives opportunity
for harmonious action nga'nst enemies
trying to overturn tlm economic, so
cial anil political systems for tho do-
fonso of which the Democratic party
exists, It Is the duty of Democrats to
do ns their delegates lu the convention
did—set nslile differences, act hi har
mony, nnd lie satisfied with tho results
brought about by concessions mutually
mndo tn tho interest of good govern
ment
meeting of Hie convention Instructing
him to do so. nml which still bound
bun. We have no doubt tho euuven
torn believed that In the platform Jest
read ttio president mid tils adinlulstrn
tion were thoroughly Indorsed.
In the matter of silver there was
coolest, not open or violent but throng,
from the time the delegates liegnu
arrive unlit ttio convention adjourned
Tho resolution adopted '.•my be consbl
crctl, hi n certain sense, n comproniii
TUot Is to say, It represents the view
of neither school of opinion represented
In the convention. It Is merely a de
larntiou to which iwth eau Mitocrtbe
because R docs not touch tho jtolnts
upon which differences of opinion ai
vital. We do not bellcvo there Is any
profit for tlio party to bo made out
attempts to show that ono faction
tho other gained a victory In tlio ndop
tion of till* resolution. Wo see
harm, however, in stating tho polntH
of departure, nt we understand tin
from which each fnetiun started, to
rtvo nt tho counnou ground of the res
elution. A correct him may lie edited
lu tills way of the facts of the sltuatl.
nnd a true Judgment as to tho conces
sions mndo by each faction for the Nik
of parly harmony.
One faction desired^ that the conv
lion should declare exphrltly In favor
the rath) of 10 to l; lluit It should ex
plicitly repudiate tho Idea of an Inter
national agreement; that Iho power .of
cur government abate to mnintnlu stiver
so coined at parity with gold should tie
Just as explicitly asserted.
The other faction wished only to re
assert the silver resolution of tho Chi
cago platform; or. If tliat was not
-done, that tho Georgia convention
should declare for tiro free tttul unlim
ited coinage of gold and silver at the
ratio Jlxcd by the commercial exchanges
of tlio world; or. If another and -mailer
ratio lhau that fixed by commerce tv
adopted, that It !k> done tn conjunction

Tbc resolution adopted declare, for

ver sad gold on u parity with each
other, and under eondttions which will
give to every dollar la rlrrulntion ttio
same debt paying and purchasing

of free ami unlimited coinage. One

*“ ■ settled on Macon, her past, present to organize a city court; and. from ttms
day tn lilt the counties of the state,
well-known gentleman said, kiugUliigly,
tint In Ills opinion It would result In
tho presence of bigger men In Georgia
politics. Ho meant, nrnlmbly, that tin
dcr the working of inch n rule the suc-
ccvsful mail must almost necessarily ho
a man who hns already attracted, by
his qualities of mind, or his public ser
vices, the attontkm of tho people of tho
whole state.
It is easy to see that there Is eonslil-
erahln force In this idea. Under the
old system, now nhout. to ho abolished,
it was possible for a man of only local
Importance, but tvlio hml gained tho
acqunlutnnco and the liking of a few
prominent persons, active In politics, in
nil parts of tho state, to exert an Influ
once In elections out of nil proportion
to tlio Impression lie had made on the
popular mind. In other wonts, tho old
system tins lent Itself readily to the use
of men who are Inclined to substitute
the manipulation of n few men who are
leaders In n Bninll way for tho largo
methods of statcsumn-tllte 'politicians
whoso strength tics, not In tho manip
ulation of the pcrsaunl influence of the
few who are attached to him by his
pcrsinuil-qiiiilltles or by their sympathy
with tils purposes, but lu their held ou
tho people through tliclr lilentUledtion
with questions of public policy In
Which'they are Interested.
It hns been observed that. Illogical ns
It tuny seem, the quality of the cand!
dato In in proportion to the size of Ids
constituency. Of course this rulo docs
not apply lu every Instance, but ns
general proposition only. According to
It, a first rate man Is more likely to bo
dieted mayor of a city than nn aider-
limn from ono of Its wards, or governor
of n state than representative of ouo of
Its counties—the reason being that al
ready sugg,sited. Hint when nppllca
tion Is made to a vast number of poo
pie for a great office, personal Influence
nuil mnnlputntlan have far less influ
ence tlutn when application Is mndo to
a few voters.
Hereafter the cnudldnto for governor
of Georgia, nnd wo hope in tlmo tho
candidate for senator, will go to tlio
people of tho whole state nt tlio sauio

HANGED FOR MURDER.
North .Carolina Negro Paid UIS
Death Penalty at Raleigh.
In 1848. the number of miles of railroad
this state was GOG, embracing fl vc rail
roads. In 1K>1 there are In the state of
Georgia 5,25 mHea of railroad, owned by
more than fifty different conporatlonB.
These vast enterprises have Involved the
courts In the use of time and Judicial la
bor more than any other class of persons,
natural or artificial, and by reason of the
peculiarity of the litigation Imposed an
Incalculable amount of labor upon the su
preme court, not only on account of the
Immense sums Involved in th«Jkl0fttJfflb
but also on account of the difficulties 01
the questions presented, both at nisi prlus
and in the supreme ctntrt.
In 1M5 the number of Judicial circuits
was eleven. In 1»4 there nre twenty-
three In number. The amount of Judicial
circuits has more than doubled, the num
ber of counties has been Increased more
than 47 per cent., and seven city courts
have been added, al! constituting sources
from which Judicial labor inevitably falls
upon the shoulders of the supreme court,
still composed of only three Judges.
In K15 the population of Georgia
as follow to-wlt: White. 459.559; slaves,
314,T0v • The census of 1890 gave 1.837,000,
and tt can be safely estimated that since
that time the population of Georgia has
so Increased as to render tha population
reach the figure of 2,000,000.
In 1815 slaves could not litigate; now
persons can litigate.
From the point of population the sources
of litigation, therefore, have increased
from the organlratlon of the supreme
court to this time more than 400 per cent,
and nearly 500 per cent.
The first volume of Georgia reports
contains ninety-three cnac* orf which
eight were criminal coses, four were eject

Commercial law coses, three were damage
