Bartlett fior reprerenf.vcive in congress from thte ^ixth Georgia district, at the Wigwam here today. Every county in Wte district was rep resented by ft* strongest men, and in til the proceedings of the convention there win not the slightest ripple of discord. It bad been thought that In asmuch as the procecdfeiigs of the con- * ven-tion were to be purely informal, Judge Bartlett’s noirV.niitVon betnig as sured, that there would be n slim at tendance. This was a mteaike. Mighty nearly every man who hsad been iselfeot- cd nsa delegate was h’ere,-filled to the brim with DemocrulUc enthusiasm, de termined to show the Populists of itWe fighting Sixth tllrat tney were *n the fight to win. On the trail ns last might the.advnncc guards came in and tihe corridors of the Wigwam were filled' with good Democrats who were disbuseing ttoe slt- atUon in the various coun'tio3. When the trains oame hi this morning the big bulk of the delegates came, uind they were a fine-lookilng bofdy of men. Somebody had provided an- ample iupply of spring waiter and -fching>3 In an upstalin* room and as the deeigateto came in they were thvlted to par-fake of the waiter. It was 12 o’cock when the convention w.h napped to order by Judge B. P. Bailfey of Butts, In the absence of Chairman Frank Fly nit. At this tints there were nearly 150 deflegutea in the ball room of the WJgvvum, where the convention was held. Some twenty or more ladies, guests of the hotel, had been invited to grace the meeting by tfrtr presence, and they »ait together in tfo back of file hull. J. D. Howard ot Baldwin was elect ed -temporary chairman. In taking the chair he aKuded pleusamitly to the pres ence of tJ.Tc» indies, a-nd said thalt with their active assurance the Democratic party is invincible*. .He thought, that we were os certain to snow the third party und'ec os election day was to come.

Bbbwn, Peter King. M. J. Hanrey, J. C. Thompson, W. B. Aadams. On motion of Judge A. L. Miller of Bibb a committee mi appointed to perfect a permanent orgranization and to present an order of business. This is the committee: Baldwin, Samuel Walker: Bibb. A. L. Miller; Butts, W. M. Smith; Fayette, A. Steinhdmer; Henry, Paul Turner: Jones, R. T. Roes; Monroe. E. M. Smith; Pike. J. H. Ba ker; Spalding, J. H. iMItchell; Upson, J. S. King. A recess was taken to give the committee a chance to report, which in due time it did These were the per manent officers: Chairman, Seaton Grautland bf Spalding; secretaries, S. T. Blalock of Fayette. W. C. Bryant of Butte and W. G. F. Price of Bibb. This order of business was also re ported: First, that a committee on plat form and resolutions be appointed, to ivhom^shall be referred all resolutions wiibuiit debate. . Second—Nominations for congress man shall then be In order. Third—Report of the committee on resolutions and platform. Fourth—The election of a new execu tive committee for this congressional district. This order bf business was adopted, and in apeprtiance with It Mr. R. V. Hardeman of BWb introduced this res olution. w>hlch was unanimously adopted: “Resolved. That the chairman do ap point a committee bn resolutions, to whom ehnil be referred all resolutions without debate, and which committee shall also report a platform for the con vention. said committee to consist of one delegate from each county.” Under this resolution the following committee on platform was appointed: Baldwin. J. D. Howard; BUbto, R. V. Hardeman; Butts. H. C. Thaxton; Fay ette, Q. A. Burks; Jones, J. R. Van- Buren r Monroe. G. J. Wright; Pike, W. M. Howard; Spalding, W. J. Bridges, Upson, P. F. Brown. When the committee retired the next order of business, the nomination of a congressional candidate, was taken up. Hon. R. T. Daniel. In a short, but elo quent ami effective speech, put the name of Charles L. Bartlett before the convention, “No people,” he said, “will have a truer, more conscientious leader, a more daring and consistent advocate than will those of the Sixth district when Bartlett takes his seat in con gress. In his hands the -Interests of the people are safe.” In closing, Mr. Dan iel said: "In November the Shanghai of Pike will not be in it with the little game cock of Bibb.” This was the signal for long-continued applause. Gen. G. J. Wright of Monroe was the next speaker and he kept the conven tion In i\ broad grin all the time he was talking. It wn3 a pleasure to him, he said, to second the nomination of C. L. Bartlett. He had known the Bartlett family for many years. Integrity, ab solute and unswerving, had been a characteristic of the family always. He could not make a ringing speech, nor could he lay claim to being a sil ver-tongued orator. In fact, he didn’t want to. for silver is In such demand by some people that they might want to coin his tongue. “Our friends, •the Populists, say we have been quarreling among ourselves,’’ continued the speaker. “Let them charge as much as they please. It is our fight and none of their business. The Populists h:\ve been saying that we are split all to pieces so often that some people are be ginning to believe It. It Is all a mis take, and we’ll roll up a majority of 10.000 for Bartlett in November with out any trouble.” In Mpenkdng of the difference between Democrats on the silver question, Gen. Wright said that‘it reminded him of the question of the annexation of Tex : as. Polk was In favor of the immediate annexation; .Olay was also in favor of immediate annexation, but wanted to wait awhile so it could be done de cently and in order. For his part he had a great admiration for the old Hafidshell rule to do a thing decently and In order, and thought it applied to the silver question as well as anything else. If Democrats couldn’t.agree on all things there was no reason why they should tear down each other’s palings and let the stock Into the gardens. Ho complimented the Sixth district on having such a fine looking body of delegates There were, he said, only a few exceptions, notably Van McKlbben and himself. This caused a laugh. air. 3. T. Blalock of Fayette then seconded the nomlnaWon of Bartlett. He had. he sold, favored the nomination of another man. but he had never been defeated with less regret. The Inter ests of the people of the Sixth district would never suffer while they were In the hands of Charles L. Bartlett. Mr. J. D. Howard of Baldwin said he came from a county which had a candi date of its own in the race, but he arose with pleasure to second the nom ination of the high-toned gentleman, the loyal, noble fellow who the Democ racy of the district had selected to lead. “We people of Baldwin,” he con tinued, "are always ready to honor one of our own sons, but we come here to day to say to the Democrats of the Sixth district that Baldwin will do ev erything In her power to see Charlea L. Bartlett elected to congress. As Baldwin cbmrn first on the list of counties she will cast the first vote In 'thin conven tion for Judge Bartlett.” Mr. Roland Dills of Bibb then made one of the most eloquent speeches of the convention. He said, in part: “The seconding of the nomination of Charles Lafayette Bartlett might well be left to those older In the service of the party and more nearly exponent of Its principles by reason of lives well spent In Its cause. But there is noth ing In that which Impels to utterance on this August day—because this day bears signal wltneftfl to the victorious fulfillment of cherished hope, a hope blended of love’s twain—love of friend and love of party.

The spectators con sisted for the most part of strangers, who had been flocking into the city the last two duys, attracted by the encamp ment of Knights of Pythias. The mem bers of that order were present In large numbers, and in their new uniform contributed much to thcunlmatiou and plcturestiueness of the, spectacle. Sen ators on the floor were few, and far be tween, so that any Idea of transacting legtslattve business except by unani mous oonsent would bavc been prepos terous. There were but three Republican sen ators present when the chaplain made hts opening prayer and only ten Dem ocrats. After the reading of yester day’s Journal a resolution was offered by Mr. Ransom and agreed to for the appointment of two senators, to Join a liko committee on the part of the house, to wait upon the president and to Inform him that, unless he had some further communication, the two houses are now ready to adjourn. Messrs. Itansome and Manderson were appoint ed on the part of tho senate. A resolution instructing tho select committee on the Ford's theatre dis aster to continue Its Investigation dur ing the recess was offered by Mr. Har ris and agreed to. And then at 12:17 the senate took a recess until 12:13. Tile session was resumed ut 12:45, when a message was received from tho house uunouuoing among other matters the death of Representative Shaw of. Wisconsin. Tho usual resolutions ex pressing tho deep sensibility of tho sen ate and providing for a committee to attend the funeral were offered and agreed to, and tbe vice-president * un- Doiraoed the appointment of Senators Mitchell, Culloni, Davis, ltuach of North Dukotu and Kyle of South Da kota us such committee. At 12:55 another recess was taken until 1:30. Duung tho recess tho senate chamber was praotlcully deserted by senators. After tho recess was closed a report was mndo by tho senators who had been appointed to wait upon the presi dent and who Informed the senate tit the president's reply was tlmt ho no further, communication to makoNH congress. Then a resolution was ill ferod by XIr. Quay and unanimously adopted tendering the thunks of tho senate to Vieu-I’resldent Stevenson for the ability, dignity, courtesy nnd Im partiality with wlileh be had presided over its deliberations, anil a resolution, similarly couched, In laudation of Sen ator Harris, pristileut pro tern, of tho senate, was offered by Mr. Manderson of Nebrasfta und adopted with the same unanimity. A third and Dual recess was taken till 1:30, when n message was received from the house aunoundng the appoint- tnentity the speaker of tho house mem bers of tho joint commission on tho Ford's theatre disaster. Then, after a watt of several mtuutes, the vice-presi dent rose and formally closed the ses sion of tho senate with these words: "Senators: The hour tlxed by the concurrent resolution for the adjourn ment of the second session of the llfty- tb.nl congress has arrived. Before making Ihe I'urmal aimounreaieiit. I cannot forbear giving expression of my grateful appreciation of tho resolution personal to myself Just passed tho sen ate.

Instead ot the usual moving bark of the hands on tliu clock dial so ns to get In a little mure time—an exploit which 1ms added to die renown of tho venerable doorkeeper at the closo of almost'every session of die senate— there was actually a minute to spam when the vice-president stepped down lo the floor nod engaged In leave-taking with do- senators nml officials.

This was agreed to, and Messrs. Wil son, Hollmaai and liepbkrn were named. -Maj. Prudvn, executive clerk, an nounced that the president had signed sundry bills and Joint resolutions. Mr. Richardson then called up the resolution reported by him yesterday providing for tile printing of 65,000 copies of the tariff bill with compari sons of rates In similar previous laws. He suld lio called It up at the requet ot savewi members who desired that the document should be printed, as they desired to circulate It. “The senate."

Wil son remarked that the duty Imposed upon him had been discharged. “We nre In formed by him,” Mr. Wilson continued, “that the president has no further commu nication to make. He oongratulntea the congress upon the successful conclusion of its business and to each member Indi vidually he wishes a pleasant and pros perous vacation/* Mr. Dearmond then offered as an In dependent resolution the matter previously proposed by him. to print 60,000 of the tar iff bill hi comparison with the rates of the Moltinlry law, to be prepared by the clerk of the committee on way’s and means and approved by the chairman thereof. Mr. Hick* (Republican) renewed his ob jections and the publication will not • be made. When there remained out two minutes of the session the members crowded about the clerk’s desk.

Carpenter, 100 asm began when the band heading the First Maryland regiment marched past the president play.ug, "Maryland, my Maryland." Meu and women shouted nnd waved their handkerchiels, aud bio enthusiasm did not eeuso until tile baud had exhausted Itself and was forced to stop. IVMli tills air as an. Initiation,' the thousands of Southern people all nloug tho route lot their brethren la tho ranks know that tho encourage ment of stentorian shouts ot applause might bo expected until tbo march waa over. Directly behind tho Marylandera enmo tho First Alabama regiment, with 100 men under CoL Edwin Schell- linger. They marched well and were frequently applauded. The Flrat 1,011- la limn regiment was In tho Illinois brig ade. It was commuuded by Ool. Henry, Street. Following the Louisianians came a Canadian regiment, h British flag at Its head. To many the proximity of tho Louisiana contingent to the unfamiliar ensign gave the idea that the "banner was no other than the Confederate sturs and bare. Thta belief seemed to bo spontaneous, and a mighty shout went up, much to the nstonlshment of the Canadians. All along tho .line the oheer- Ing was renewed, and It U safe to say that the union Jack never received such ennhusl,astlc applause In these United States ns that given on Pennsylvania avenue today. Mr. Cleveland, who always salutes tho Blare and stripes, but no other de vice, looked at tbe English ensign with some curiosity, but he did not raise his hat to It. Gen. George E. Currie commanded the 1 200 Knlghta from Kentucky. It was not necessary for this command to car ry banners of Identltlcn'tlon, for the tune of “My Old Kentucy Home” let tho crowd know tho boys from tho Blue Grass were passing. Tho band was the Phoenix of Dayton. O., and was tinder contract to ptay nothing but Kentucky’s favorite air. If applause la the salt of the musician’s life as It la of tho ac tor's. then the ihornblowers from Day- ton should be satisfied with tho enthusi asm which inurked their progress. With the Kentuckians was tho Louis ville division drum corps, whoso youth ful members gained laughter and cheers by a peculiar saluto which they exe cuted for tho benefit of President Cleve land. Toxas. with 250 men under Gon. M. V. Vanznnt, made an. excellent show ing, and West Virginia, with Utility men under Gen. John W. Mather, gained in applause what It lacked In nuimbors. Then came tho First Virginia regiment under Col. D. J. Turner, with 200 men. "Carry Me Back to Old Vlrglnny" rang out as the Virginians whoolcd Into Pennsylvania avenue and ithe wclcomo of tho crowd was so vociferous that It almost drowned Ihe sound of tho horns and drums. Thousands of people from near-by places In tho Old Dominion were along tho route, and their enthu siasm know no bounds when they hoard the familiar old tune. But It wn reserved for theTcnnessoo brigade to make the hit of the day. As It wheeled Into tho nvonuo 400 strong, Including tho Flrat Arkansan regiment, tho Chattanooga hand struck up "Dixie.” and then -the Goutheruers In that vicinity went wild. They waved their handkerchiefs nnd hn/ts and shout ed and cheered nnd yelled from that time on till the ’nlr was finished. Tho Tennesseeans fie ro the most popular Knights In thij line. It was really nn inspiring scone to witness the demon stration. The First Georgia regiment, tho Klrot Florida regiment and the First South Carolina regiment composed tho "Coast brigade." Brig. Oen. Harmon was In command. The Florida regiment wus out In forco nnd the Geoigla and South Carolina Knights also made a good showing. They had many friends In tho crowd nnd did not lack Iho ap plause they deserved for their excellent marching. A HORRIBLE CRIME.
