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 wldi llie nations whouo Industrial and Commercial system* bare bseone at '•(Boot tuextricably oooaeeted with >>ut own. Tbc resolution adopted declare, for llie free ami unlimited coinage of sil 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 lower. Both factious were la favor of free ami unlimited coinage. One wtdted the policy catered upon with out conditions. Tbo other -viabod to impose romliUuas tint weald Insure the parity and the same debt paying sml IHiretiaslug power to all money. Tho resolution adopted favors Tree should attend the great ftilr. Outside of the attraction* of the fair they wllL*** Mioon )o the most favorable lesson of tho year, and that alone is worth more than' the expense of the trip and the time spent In making the visit.

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 time for Indorsement—not to the people of Bibb county one day, of Chatham to morrow, of Fulton tho uext, nnd so on, gntulng front a victory hi ono of the tin Influence which should not help the selection of nu official for the wholo people, Georgia hns not suffered tn the past Her representatives In publlo stations have l>oeo creditable to her.

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 ment cases, live were will cases, five were corporation law cases, thirty-nine were Commercial law coses, three were damage suits, nineteen were against administra tors and executors, one mandamus, three appeals and three against sheriffs. Volume ninety of the Supreme Court Reports of the state of Georgia contslna 147 cases, covering thirty-three criminal case* eight will cases, five ejectment cases, four will case* five corporation law* ctad forty-two commercial law cases, thirty-seven damn go suits, ftvp milts against executors, one mandamus, one receiver's case and one Insurance case.
