Wit ness tiie attempt to hold the con vention in Atlanta last Tuesday, at which time and place nine dele gates assembled for the purpose. After viewing the situation and the assembled throng, Chairman .1. J. Holloway declared the con vention off without even the for mality of calling it to order. The Populist party has not been a factor in State politics for a num ber of years and its members have been gradually returning to the Democratic fold. It was known before the recent primary that only a remnant of the Populists persisted iu remaining away from the Democratic party and it now appears that even that remnant is hack iu the old party and back to Grantville.

And now that the Legislature has done a noble act in passing the child labor bill, we trust every little hand that lias held the thread or shuttle, will now grasp the school hook and every young brain that has worried over the intri cacies of machinery, will now find com fort poring over the pages of knowledge.

Thus pHHseth the Populist party iu Georgia. A dozen or so ir- reroncilables may hold out aud continue to call themselves Popu lists, but the party in this State is no longer a party : it is but a mem ory of the past and it is not prob able that will ever again become a factor in State politics. The for mer Populists are Democrats |again; they have returned to the party in good faith and will abide in the house of their fathers. As a Democratic newspaper, The News rejoices in the homo-coining of the remnant of the once power ful Georgia Populist party and welcomes each and everyone of our follow Georgians who has returned to the Democratic party. Let us have one white political party in this State—that tile Democratic party of .Ictfcrson, Jackson and tiie host of I >einocratic statesmen of the old school who founded the party upon the bedrock of equal rights to all and special privileges to none.
