This order of business was adopted,
an.l In accordance with it Mr. R. V.
Hardeman of BLbb introduced this res
olution. which was unanimously
adopted:
“Resolved. That the chairman do op-
point a committee *on resolutions, to
whom »hall be referred all resolution*

shall also report a platform for the con

When the committee retired the next
order of business, the nomination of a
congressional candidate, w*« 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. A “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-
- : ‘ Un November the Shanghai
of Pike wlH 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-
uon in n oroaci grin nii the tame he was
talking. It was a pleasure to him, he
•aid, to second the nomination of C. L.
Bartlett. H* 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 clakn to being a sil
ver-tongued orator. In fact, he didn’t
want to. for silver la 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
m they please. It Is our tight and nose
oi their business. The Populists have
been saying that we are spilt all to
pieces so often that some people are be
ginning to believe It. It Is all a mis
take, and wo’ll roll up a majority of
10,000 for Bartlett In November with
out any trouble.”
In speaking 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; day 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
sake cf the great jsrty to which we -H
wC.ong, with which our tots are cast,
whose su<x:ess means our safety, in
whose keeping re*t our precious llber-
t«is. From that early day In the race’s
history when chaotic barbarism first
crystallized Into moving clans und clans
into permanent societies down to that
blessed hour In the chronology of gov
ernments that fathered this proud re
public. from the moment when complex
life flrat compelled the confidence of
man in hla brother, fldeii-ty has received
firrm the heart and hand of a gener-
ous world Its slncerest applause and
noblest rewards. Jsea riot and Arnold
are sunk In the Infamy of ages, yet
•hall live as objects of human loathing
through nations yet unborn. ’Faithful’
Is the shibboleth: ‘faithful* the word of
highest praiae; ’faithful’ the attribute
of leaders of men by men demanded,
from the patient patriot of old, who led
hts people through the wilderness to the
blessed land of premise dbwn to the
patriot chief of this great common
wealth. who hath declared to approv
ing millions that ‘public office Is a pub-
Kc trust.’
”1 am glad for Democracy that we
have such a man; a man who has ever
struggled for her at the polls; who has
given his time and energy to subserve
her weal: who has fulfUled many places
of great trust and returned the com
missions of his country’s confidence as
unsullied as the driven snow, and ra-
diant with the light of high endeavor
and duty well performed- As the pros
ecuting officer of a great and populous
circuit, he won the plamilts of the peo
ple; In the halls of legislation with the
powers of his mind and the courage of
nls heart that never knew a fear he
has made history with the wisdom of
his staecraft for battles for the right;
upon the bench he has proved the iter-
.*** ***• Intellect and strength
of his legal attainments, and given back
the ermine In its spotless purity to the
state who gave it to receive *well done,
thou good and fatthful servant.’
“This man Is the choice of united
Democracy. This man. my countrymen,
even now awaits his well-earned laurels
o»t your hands, to take your banner In
his grasp.
r,;^}ve banner of Democracy to
“If w* ar<» true to oursslvM all the I
combined • ;>;* ».itlbn will be of no avail
Hg.iinst u.-«.”
JttUge Bartlett started in to tell of
the great work which had been done by
the. Democratic party In Washington,
Wflien h!.s attention was called to the
fact chat In calling <ne roll of the coun
ties he had omitted Pike.
“I beg Pike’s pardon,” he said.
“Pike’s «ll right,” shouted a delegate
from that county.
“BUI Howard and those other boys
know If I left Pike out unintentional
ly,” said the speaker. "Why, Pike to
the bed-rock on which the Bartlett col
umn was built. I can pledge for Pike
that she will give Atklneon. Redding.
Harris and Bartlett at leawt 1,000 ma
jority.”
The Judge then resumed hla enumera
tion of the good work wbVch has been
done by congress and the Democratic
administration. “Abuses,” he said,
•'which have grown hoary wfth age can
not be corrected at once."
In conclusion be said: “The banner
which has been presented to me I will
take In my hands, curry It Inside the
breastworks and there plant it.”
Judge Bnntlett was heartily congratu
lated at the conclusion of his speech.
By Llito time the platform committee
was ready to report. This Is their re
port, which wna unanimously .adopted:
“Resolved. That we. the representa
tives bf the Democratic party of the
Sixth congressional district of Georgia,
In convention asaembled, do hereby re
affirm and indorse the national Demo

Mr. J. D. Howard of Baldwin aald he
came from a county which had .a candi
date of its own In the race, hut he
aroae 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.
"VV« people of Baldwin." he con
tinued, “ere always ready to honor one
of bur own sons, but we come here to
day to say to the Democrats of the
Sixth dlatrlct that Baldwin will do ev
erything In her power to see Charles L.
Bartlett elected to congrem. As Baldwin
Anus first on the Hat of counties she
will cast the first vote In this conven
tion for Judge Bartlett"
Mr. Roland Kills of Bibb then made
one of the most eloquent speeches of
the convention. He .-uld. In pert:
"The eecorallng of the nomination of
Charles Lafayette Bartlett might well
be left to thoae older In the sendee of
the party and more nearly exponent bf
Its principles by reaaon of lives well
spent In Its caum. But there Is noth
tng In that which impels to utterance
on thl* August d>y—because this day
bears signal wltnoo to the victorious
fulfillment of cherished hope, a hbpe
blended of love’s twain—love of friend
and love of psrly. Born end bred In
this Southern land, with the holy tradi
tions bf my country as much a part
of my toeing aa these rocks am) red
utlie are part of my country's sell,
above ell things else I am a Democrat
and love my party. But If there Is
aught that mars in power this love of
party It Is the (ova of friends. I am
glad, therefore, at last to see that hope
fulfilled for these attachments' sake. I
am glad for my friend because he hi
true—true toeyond the wont of men;
through the ehadowa as In sunshine,
true and loyal unto death. As yonder
pines upre.tr their whispering heads to
sentlael this sleeping valley, fend oft
the Ughtnlnc and with their warning
murmurs tell of the etorm'a approach,
so over the welfare of hla friend* his
swerveleia loyalty keeps tireless guard.

Ue Bartlett: and while about the sancti

loved a truer friend nr feared a braver
foe.
‘•I am glad for my friend because this
nomination but renders the guentbn of
honest deserts to honorable emtoltlon.
Two years ago the Democrats of this
district met here to ballbt for a con

Washington, Aug. 28.—An Immense
crowd was gathered in tho senate gal
leries before the hour of noon today to
witness the closing scenes of the event
ful session on which the curtain is to
fall at 2 p. m. Tho spectators con
sisted for the most part of strangers,
who had been flocking Into the dty ttie
last two days, attracted by tho encamp
ment of Knights of Pythlus. The mem
bers of that order were present In largo
numbers, and iu the*r new uniform
contributed much to the animation und
picturesqueness of the spectacle. Sen
ators on the floor were few and far be
tween, so that any idea of transacting
legislative business except by unanl-
men? would linvo been nreuos-
ierous. •
There were but threo Republican sen-
uiuto pft-Bcut when the chaplain made
his opening prayer and only ten Dem
ocrats. After the reading of yester
day’s Journal a resolution was offered
by Mr. Hansom and agreed to for the
appointment of two senators, to join
a like committee on the part of tho
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.
Kansome and Manderoon were appoint
ed on the part of the bcnnte.
A resolution instructing the select
committee on the Ford’s theatre dis
aster to continue its .nvcwtlgution dur
ing the recess was offered by Mr. Har
ris and agreed to. And then at 12:17
the senate took a recess until 12:4b.
The session was resumed nt 12:10,
when a message was received from tho
house announcing among other matters
the death of Representative Shaw of
Wisconsin. Tbe usual resolutions ex
pressing the deep seosiblllty of tho sen
ate and providing for a committee to
attend the funeral wero offered and
agreed to, nnd the vios-president an
nounced the appointment of Senators
.Mitchell, Cullom, Davis, Roach of
^S’orLli Dakota and Kyle of South Da
kota aa 5UCh CCUUSittCC.
At 12:bb another recess was taken
until Duriug ill** r*i'*>*s tin* s.-niUc
clumber was practically deserted l>y
senators.
After the recess was closed a report
was made b\ the s.-natois wh«» bad
been appointed to wait upon uie pivsi-
dent nnd who Informed the senate rhut
tlm president’s reply was that ti«‘ had
uo further communication to make t'>
congress. Then a relation waa of
fered by Mr. Quay nnd unanimously
adopted tendering the thanks of the
senate to Vice-President Stevens.m for
the ability, dignity, courtesy and im
partiality with which he tad presided
over Its deliberations, nnd a kesolutioo,
similarly couched, in laudation of Hen-
ab»r Harris, president pro teui. of tin*
senate, was offered by Mr. Mandoroon
of Nebraska und adopt'd with the same
unanimity.

obviate che necessity for the usual-re
cess while awaiting the returning of
tile committee to officially notify the
president of the approaching dissolu

put tot* resolution in suoh shape as to
meet the deedivs of Messrs. Johnson,
Warner and Tracy, the principal op
ponents of the proposition. They said
they wanted the committee on ways

ognized in some way in 'flu* publica

to withdraw all objection If this waa
added to the resolution: "Including

posed under a request for unanimous
consent by Mr. Warner, but Mr. Ma-
hone (Republican) objected.
dir. Tracy—Why do you interfere In
the matter?
'Mr. Mahone—If you give mo time, I
will tell.
Mr. Doarmond offered a resolution
providing for the printing of 60 000
copies of a comparison to be prepared
by the clerk of tho committee on ways
