this appointment withdraws his
name as a candidate for the Senate.

THE BLAND RILL VETOED.
PresiJ nt Cleveland sent his
r-pecial message to Congress yester¬
day, rejecting the Bland bill for the
coinage ol the seigniorage of Bilver
bullion now in tbe treasury.
Those who are inclined to lean
Mr. Cleveland’s way may find a bit
of comfort in his whys and where¬
fores, but to those who stand upon
the Chicago platform, there is any¬
thing else, and especially for south¬
ern and western democrats.
Fledges to Silver—Chicago Platform.
“We denounce the republican legisla¬
tion known as the. Sherman act of 1890,
as a cowardly makeshift, lraught with
posnbilities ot danger in the future,
which should make all ofits supporters,
as well as its author, anxious for its
speedy repeal. We hold to the use of
both gold and silver as the standard mon¬
ey ol the country, and to the coinage of
both gold and si ver without discrimina¬
tion against either metal, or charge for
mintage, but the dollar unit of coinage of
both metals must be of equal intrinsic
and exchangevble value or De adjusted
through international agreement, or by
such goleguards of legislation as st- .11 in¬
sure tbe maintenance of the party of the
two metals and the equal powei *f every
dollar at all times in the markets and in
payments of debts; and we demand that
all paper currency shall 'oe kept at par
with and redeemable in guch coin. We
insist upon this policy as especially nec¬
essary for the protection ot the farmers
lid laboring classes, the first and most
defenseless victilns of unstable nioncy
and a fluctuating currency.
Senator Colquitt Dead.
Hon. Alfied Holt Colquitt, the
seuior senator from Georgia di ed
at his home In Washington on the
morning ot the 26th. inst.
Our state and nation are better
that Mr. Colquitt has lived and
labored among us.
A true and faithful servant of
the people, and great man of God,
lives, loves nor sacrifices no more
but parses on to partake of the
fruits of a well spent lit©.
Governor Northen is besieged ou
every side by the friends of numer¬
ous candidates for Senator Col¬
quitt’s seat in the senate.
Mess. II. S. Burton & Son of the
Cordelean have sold that paper to
Mess. Brooks <fc Smith, proprietors
of The South Georgia Sentinel.
Tbe Mss*. Burton will run the
Eastmon Times Journal.
Senatar Stewart, of Nevada, has
started tbe free silver whell a going
and (-ays he’ll not let it Bieep.
Tbe joint discussion between
Gen.Evans and Col. Atkinson isnot
productive of much consolation for
the friends of either candidate, as
the daily papers claim great victo¬
ries for both men.
We are piet.se 1 to note the Ti f
ton Gizstfo’s opinion of Hon. H. T
Fletcher, who is one of the best
citizens in Irwin, and is a candidate
to represent our county in tbe next
general assembly. The Gazette
S ivs :
Hon. H. T. Fletcher is a candi
date to represent Irwin county in
tbe next legislature. He is a good
man and should have no opposi
tioa. r

Fromour reyubt* Correnoondent .
Washington, March 2*5.—Presi
dent Cleveland probably never did
a harder or mora wearing week’s
work than that which has just
closed. Last Monday Vice Presi¬
dent Steveusou signed the Biarid
bill for the coinage oi the seignior¬
age and it was at once placed in
the hands of the president. Since
thao time he has devoted his eutira
time to the Gil 1 , and, although no
announcement has been made to
that effect, the opinion seems to be
gaining ground aero that he will
veto the bill. If he neither vetoes
nor signs the bill by Thursday of
this week it w become a law
without any action on the presi¬
dent’s part. Tne veto of the bill
will he a great disappointment to
democrats from tb.< south and west
iu Congress, but if it be vetoed no
attempt will be made to pasB it
over the veto.
Secretary Gresham smashed
some precedents when he made
public the new treaty with China
in advance of the action of the Sen¬
ate upon it, but it was the sensible
thing to do, even if garbled extracts
from the treaty had not leaked out
and been priutedin papers unfriend
ly towards the administration. Of
course Secretary Gresham would
have preferred that the making p-ib
lie of this treaty shouid have been
deferred until it could have been
accompanied by the commercial
treaty, to which it was the stepping
stone, which has been negotiated
and is now awaiting the approval
of the Chinese government. The
preseut treaty relates entirely to
the rights of the citizens of the two
countries when living in either, and
contains several marsed conces¬
sions concerning the coming of
Chinese to America. For that rea¬
son it is objectionable to some of
the Senators and Representatives
from the Pacific coast, but, in view
of the advantages to be gained by
the commercial treaty, to come la¬
ter, it is not thought that the oppo¬
sition will be strong enough to en¬
danger tl.e ratification of this treaty
but the Senate may decide, on ac¬
count of the slipperyness of the
Chinese diplomacy, to withhold
ratification until it is koown that
the commercial treaty has,been ap¬
proved by China.
Nothing is easier than to build
up absurd stories by accepting
wrong constructions of an act as a
foundation upon which to build,
and;nothin£ is apparently more en¬
joyable to those Washington cor¬
respondents who furnish imaginary
matter for the sensational republi¬
can press than to put a wrong con¬
struction upon ovary act of Presi¬
dent Cleveland’s. A case in point
was the designation by the Presi¬
dent of Rear Admiral Walker for
the command of the Pacific Sta¬
tion. Although it was officially
stated that Admiral Walker was
given this command because the
administrati j had decided to ex¬
tend an appropriation made ia 1892
by Congress, in fitting up a coal
and naval station at Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii, the right to do so having
existed since the ratification of the
treaty of 1887, and he was thorough¬
ly familiar with the harbor and its
surroundings, but, putting a wroug
constrnction upon it, these corres¬
pondents built up stories showing
that the selection was made because
of an intention to interfere with
the provisional government of Haw
aji These stoiies were not onlv
falge and known by their ooncocterB
to be false, but they were a posit¬
ive insult to the President of the
United States, who had months ago
formally and officially turned all
matters relating to the government
of Hawaii over to Congress; yet
they were printed. Legitimate
criticism is all right in its proper
place, but lies and misrepresenta¬
tions are always cowardly and al¬
ways contemptible no matter who
makes use of them.
General Wade Hampton knows
as well how to snub impertinence
as any man in public life. The oth
er day he called on a Senator who
has a private secretary who is a
victim of the impertinent habit. As
the General after leaving the Sen-
atot was pa'sing through the room
occupied by the private Secretary
that individual stopped him and
said : “You asked for half a minute
and have stayed in half an hour;
you ought to get a medal.” “Young
man,” replied General Hampton
without a moments hesitation, “you
remind me of what Mrs. Partington
told Ike when he aaid he was go<ng
to get an>edal ” “What was that?’’
asked the smart Aleck with a grin.
“Weli, Ike, vou deserve.a medal,
for you are the mogt meddlesome
cuss T ever saw.” “Good morning
Mr. Secretary.”
Representative Bland, of Mo.,
takes a sensible view ol the Coxey
army business, which is being
talked about in Washington, more
because of the space given it by the
newspapers than because anybody
believes that it is actually coming.
He aays: “The Coxey army has as
much right to come to Washington
as the lobbies who come in behalf
of protection and other private in¬
terests. As long as they pay their
own expenses and commit no de
predation they have a perfect right
to come. But if they violate law
and become a mob of pillagers they
should be surpressed.”
Senator Colquitt, of Ga., was very
near to dying last week from a
stroke of paralysis. He is now
slightly better, although not yet
out of danger.
How to Elect Delegates—No. 2
OciUa, Go. Moh. 23d. Editor News :
In a former issue of The News I
noticed you asked the question
“how shall the county select dele¬
gatee to the gubernatorial conven¬
tion.’’ So far I have seen no sug¬
gestion in answer. I would sug¬
gest this plan, which I think will
ana,.<*r, and at the same time be,
perhaps, fairer than has usually
been the mode in our county.
Let our executive committee
hold a meeting at the proper time;
of which there is plenty, aDd order
a mass meeting of the d® uu ratio
voters of each malitia district, all
to be held on the same day (the
day named by the committee) at
the several precincts thereof.
Let the voters tnen turn out, hold
mass meetings in their respective
districts, express their preference
as to candidates, if any, and elect,
say five delegates from each dist.
to represent their district in a con¬
vention of the delegates thus chos¬
en from the several districts to he
held at the court house, upon such
time as tbe executive committee
shall appoint, and this convention
can then express the county’s pref¬
erence for candidates and appoint
delegates to attend the State Nom¬
inating Convention.
Abuut this ti iie t .cry two ycarB
a new executive committee is chos
en, and as that committee is usual
ly composed of one member flora
each militia district. I would also
supgest that at the mass meeting
in each district as above outlined
the voters elect the members of
said committee to which they are
entitled, and the committee men
thus chosen should meet at tbe
court house on the day of the del
egates convention which would be
the proper time for the new execu»
live committee to organize and take
charge of affairs for the ensuing
two years.
Heretofore a mass meeting held
only at the court bouse has been
our method, but this is not exactly
fair and works a hardship upon
those living at distances from there.
The plan I suggest puts it within
easy read of every voter, and he
who feels interested enough to go
out at all, can express his prefer¬
ence with but little loss ot time or
inconvenience. W bat say you, gen
t’emen of the committne?

How to Elect Delegates—No.I.
Crisp, Ga., March 21. Editor
News: I notice in a post issue of
your paper, the question asked:
“How shall the county select dele¬
gates to the gubernatorial conven¬
tion?”
We must acknowledge that we
are somewhat surprised that you
should ask this question, while \"e
might not have been surprised had
this question been asked by some
politician or aspirant for office. We
feel sorry that this question ha&
been sprung, as it msy lead to the
suggestion of some plan to disturb
the peace and quiet of our county
and result iu primaries or other
complicated disturbances from
which our people have had a short
rest.
We consider our executive com¬
mittee equal to the emergency and
believe they will do what is best.
Were we to suggest a plan we
can think of no better one than for
the citizens of the county to assem¬
ble in mass meeting at the court
house and appoint delegates, as has
been our method ; ■ ti-e a-sl *4 r «
would be far irom suggesting pri
mary election, as we have eeen so
much trouble resulting there from,
-lod no good whatever accomplish
ed. Snould there be a primary elec
tion held in the county to elect del
egates to the gubernatorial conven
tion, it would be suggestive of the
plan of holding primaries in our
county elections, which has prove'
so dissatisfactory ia the pest caus
ing, we think, some of the best man
ever brought before the.,‘people of
tbe ccanty to be defeated. We
write this to guard against primary
elections, and the trouble we have
seen resulting from them in the
past, “Voter.”

A CORRECTION.
Editor News: I only ask a small
space in your valuable paper to
correct an error which appeared in
your issue of the 23d. I am glad
to say that it was correct to put me
down as an Evans man, and that
I was happy over my baby, but as
to the sex, I'm also happy to state
that it is a boy instead of a girl.
We are having “Clemant” weath¬
er up this way and no doubt it will
grow more so as the “General”
(spring sunshine) warms up every
thing around us. B it I only asked
for a small space-pardon me
