Thirty-Fifth Senatorial Convention—Hon.
W. A. Tignor Nominated—Hungry

—More Railroad Taxes.
[special correspondence.|
Atlanta, September 10.—At noon to dsy
in the city court room, the Senatorial con
vention for the Thirty-fifth district met for
the purpose of nominating a candidate to
represent the district in the next Senate.
The convention was called to order by Col.
John* L. Doyal, of Clayton.
The following delegations were present:
Clayton—W. M. Wright, John L. Doyal,
E. L. Haynes, Jr., A. P. Adamson, A. C.
Blalock.
Cobb—J. M.'Stone, James L. Lemon, J.
Y. Alexander, T. M. Glover.
Fulton—J. T. Pendleton, J. M. Siddell,
8. F. Kincannon, A. J. McBride, R. L.
Barry.
Judge J. T. Pendleton, of Fulton, was
elected permanent chairman of the con
vention, and Mr. J. M. Stone, of Cobb,
secretary.
The county of Clayton presented the
name of Hon. W. A. Tignor as their choice
for Senator, and he was nominated bv ac
clamation.
Some time since there was considerable
discussion over the district as to which
county was entitled to name the candi
date. At that time it was understood that
Fulton would contend for the honor, and
even had a strong candidate in the field.
This was hardly satisfactory to Clayton,
which, I believe, had never had the Sena
tor.
The action of the convention in its
unanimons indorsement of the Clayton
candidate smoothed the wrinkled front of
discord in the district, and everything is
- ivf serene.
Mr. W. M. Wright, of Clayton, in behalf
of Colonel Tignor and the county, thanked
the convention for its action, and stated
that Colonel Tignor would have been pres
ent bad not sickness prevented.
R. L. Barry, of Fulton, J. M. Stone, of
Cobb, and A. C. Blalock, ot Clayton, were
appointed a committee to notify Colonel
Tignor of his nomination.
The chairman appointed the following
executive committee: Fulton. H. C.
Glenn, J. A. Anderson; Cobb, T. M. Glover.
J M. Htone; Clayton, A. P. Adamson, E.
L. Haynes, Jr.

IIUNORY FLAMES.
At 8 o'clock this morning fire was dis
covered on the roof of the old Pike llili
residence, on Marietta street, immediately
opposite the Atlanta Cotton Factory. The
fire department reached the spot prompt
ly. The fire was extinguished after it had
devoured the roof of the building. 'The
damage was small, as a new roof was very
ranch needed.
The house was erected many years ago
by Col. Pike Hill at a cost of |14,0(X), and
was a very handsome and desirable resi
dence until the cotton factory was built up
in front of it. Since, it has not been in such
demand, and was vacant at the time of the
fire.

‘ THE HONOR OFYiIE PROFEHSION.*’
A lawyer who collected some money for
a client lost, it in gambling and “squealed”
on the winners. By issuing a warrant he
recovered about half of it. A professional
player, speaking to another lawyer of the
effect of this, said: “That fellow is dis
graced. He couldn’t enter a respectable
gambling saloon. He can’t do anything
now but practice law 1”
CHANOJNO BENEFICIARIES *N LIFE POLICY.
The Supreme Courts of Louisiana and
Minnesota have held that the beneficiaries
named in a life policy have a vest'd right
which renders it irrevocable as to them.
The coarts of Wisconsin, Missouri and Illi
nois have held the reverse. The latest case
bearing on the subject inclines to the
former rule. An insurer, by agreement
with the company, allowed nls policy to
lapse in order that he might secure
another with a different name therein as
beneficiary. The person named in the
first attempted to have the second policy
treated as a mere continuation of the first

decided otherwise, and intimate further
that a gift made by designation in a life
policy may be altered by will, just as the
testator might direct the disposition of any
other property. 19 Fed. Rep.
SOUTHERN LEGISLATION.
In his address before the American Bar
Association, the president, Mr. Courtlaadt
Parker, discussed the legislation of the
States daring the present year by
dividing them into sectional groups. He
intimates surprise at the amount of tem
perance legislation in 8outh Carolina and
Mississippi, the session laws of the latter
containing fifty-seven pages of prohibitory
»cts. *• While not myself as yet, ready to
adopt the theory of prohibition, I cannot
^ « that tlie 8 rim earnestness of
these laws shows a tendency of public
opinion which suggests a hopeful future.’’
Speaking of the group of Southern States,
he says: “There is perceptible a simplici-
of intention, a desire for improvement
°* its people# for universal ednestion,
and for the support of wholesome charities,
a hearty belief in Christian morels and
Christian religion and a love of right,
which deserves and cannot but elicit ad
miration and respect.”
GOODS FOR THE STATE FAIR.
Shippers of articles intended for display
at our approaching fair will be interested
in the recent decision of the Queen’s Bench
divUion in the case of Jaaie«un vs. Mid
land Railway Company. The plaintiff
shipped over defendant’s rood a box di
reeled to the “showgrounds” at Lichfield.
It was not delivered until after the fair
and the plaintiff*sued for bis expenses in
going to and from the fair and the loss o!-
profits resalting from the non-arrival of
thego^s. It was not shown that the
plaintiff called »pedal attention to the la
bel or the object of shipment, but Lord
Coleridge held that the acceptance by the
ca * °* a k° x 80 labelled constituted u
sufficient notice of the particular purpose
and destination of the shipment, ana the
plaintiff recovered the damages claimed.

Aoddrtaa of the State Co
To the Democracy of the biatc of Gcor-
giu:—The undersigned have betn appoint
ed by the excentire committee of the Dem
ocratic party of the State of Geotgia to
prepare an address to the party and the
peopled the State.
Wnare now in the midst of an exciting
and very important presidential campaign.
Probably at no time in the past hittory of
the government baa it been a matter of so
orach vital importance that a change of
aimtaiatration and of administrative
policy'should take place. In a republi
can government like ours where the peo
ple are the fovereigns and the popular
voice dictates the policy of the govern
ment, it ia vastly important that those in
authority be required to confine them
selves within constitutional limits in ad
ministrative policy and the execution of
the laws. This government as organized
by our fathers, prescribed the proper hm
its within which the action of the federal
government should be confined, and it
recognlres the reserved powers of the
States.
The powers conferred upon the federal
government were necessary to enable it to
conduct properly all the foreign affdirs of
chat government, all such interstate affain*
m are beyond the power and control ol
'.he individual States. The reservation*
of power by the States were equally nec
essary to euable each State to conduct local
telf-government and promote the pub
lie interest and the general welfare.
On account of the broader scope of the
powers of the federal government the
’-endency has been towardssencroechraeLt
rpon the reserved powers of the States; and
the long continued domination of one politi
cal party over all others naturally tends
to promote and encourage such encroach
ments. It also encourages unnecessary
and unreasonable appropriations, extrav
agance of every character, speculations
*nd peculations by government officials
who rely upon their friends in power to «
treater or less extent for immunity from
ounishment for malpractice in office.
The republican party on the fourth of
March next will have been twenty-four
/ears in power, four years of civil war
snd twenty years since the termination oi
rtiewar. They have greatly enlarged In
practice the powers of the federal govern
ment. They have increased the taxation
>f our people to an enormous extent.
Tbev have made and continue to mak<
avish—and in many instances unreason-
«ble appropriations of money wrung from
he pockets of the people—by rigorom
axation. Government officials bav<
*rrown rich in many instances by the im
proper use of public money. Vast track
if the public aora* In have been donated
to corporations, building up gigantic cer
tiorate power which threa ens to contro
not only tne people, bat the legislation of
the country, in future. These vast track
d the public land, which according to
rbe original policy of the government were
mended to be kept as homes for oar peo
ple. have been withdrawn from home-
tead entry, and placed under corporate
:ontrol. And while a portion of the rail
road enterprises to which they have been
donated have been proper, and proraotive
)t the public interest, vast tracts have
■>een squandered upon enterprises which
vere ot no important public advHn’age t*
he country. The result of this policy ha-
been not only to deprivs the peop e of the
loraestead rights, which was a part of the
leritageof an American citizen, but U<
ouild np an immense landed srUtocracy.
placing thousands and hundreds of thou
sands, and even millions of acres in th»
bands of particular corporations or indi
viduals, which roust in the end lead to
nosi unfortunate and deplorable results.
During this period of the reign of the
Republican party the merchant marine ol
he United States hss been nearly destroy
-d. and the commerce o'
he United 8tates on Ameri
can vessels, almost swept from the
We are subjected to the humiliation o<
saving to conduct onr vast commerce al
most entirely upon foreign vessels.
During this same reign of the RerraWl
ran party, while between three and fou-
rand red millions of dollars have been ap
propriated for building snd repairing ou»
»avy, large parts of it bare been tqasn-
iered and our present navy places us on
he ocean below the dignity of a third rat*
power: and we have not a single vessel or
t single gun that is to be compared in tff)
•iency with the superior vessels and arma
-uent of other powers, and in case of a
foreign war, our ooast cities are absolutely
*t the mercy of onr antagonist If be ha>

The financial policy of the Republican
party has been the boast of Repnblicar
irators and statesmen for a number ol
years pssL They have attempted to con
rinre the country that its great proeperi
-y was owing to the financial policy of that
party. The result of thst policy has been
.0 place the finances of the country In th»
bands of the bankers whose power Is s<
enormous. th*t they can, by hoardim
their funds snd refusing di-counts, brinp
financial panic at their p'easnre, or as In
:he late instance, many of them In prac
-ice by engaging in wild and reckless spec
illations, have bronsht ruin upon them
selves and great distress to the whoh
•ountty. As the Republican party boas*
>f their financial policy they certainly
•annot complain if they are judged by tbe
results of tLat policy, which at presem
ire easily comprehended by tbe most su
perfidal observer. Tbe large snd wealthy
ranking houses of New York have hoard
ed their money, keeping some thirty mil
ions of reserve more than the law re
J uires, and have refused to accommodate
:e bankers of the difiereht sections o(
be anion who have usually received ac
jommodations from them, which haacrii
..!»«! them and left them unable to accom
odatt their customer* and tbe people in
Jlffcrent localities. The result Is a strin
<encv in the money market of the coun
try which has crippled every interest ha*
engulfed many enterprises in ruin, and
threatens great disaster and suffering it
there is not a speedy change.
Our own State was blessed during th’f
rammer with a wheat crop more abundant
than the average. Usually this crop af
fords much relief, but there is no mon
«y In the hands of buyers to move th<
crop, and roost of it still lies in the barns
of tne planteif.
Our factories are suspending operation
>r working upon short time, nor mer
chants are greatly cramped. Dor planters
can scarcely raise money wilh which to pay
their taxes, and onr mechanics and arti
sans and ra lroad employes are already
working atredcued wages, ard on account
of the!stagnation in business, many have
entirely lost their places, or have been tern*
porarily suspended.
In a word, general stagnation and de-
r .'ession is found in every braneb ot busi
ness and with every class of labor. Can it
be that a just and economical administra
tion of the government, and a wise finan
cial policy produces such results 7 Is it not
clear to the mind of every citizen who is
not coni rolled by party prejudice or party
bias that a change of administration and
the inauguration of a different party In
power is nccessarv to the correction of
these great evils. In looking for relief and
for necessary reform the eyes of the people
are naturally turned to the Democratic
party, and afi the indications are if that
party will do its dnty that Cleveland and
Hendricks, the Democratic nominees for
President and Vice-Presi -ent, will be tri
umphantly elec ed in November next,
which will be the inauguration of a new
era which will doubtless be productive
the most benign and beneficial results
The Democratic party in convention
a wise, 1
sired bv tbe patriotic of all parties, by those
conmdling the great interests of the
country, and by the honest masses of every
section of tbe Union.
The Democratic masses have been
arouesd and the great current of Demo
cratic sentiment, will, it is believed, bear
down all opposition and compel the iuau-
tfurat on of the necessary measures cf re
form.
• Now, Democrats of the 8tate of Georgia,
a word to you. Georgia ha* been the ban
ner Democratic 8iata of the Union. If
there is a full turnout at the polls we be
lieve she will maintain that proud position,
but relying upon the strength of the party,
and soundness of its principles and patri
otic a*pirations, and hoping that the right
will prevail without tffoi i on their part,we
fear there ia too much apathy on
the part of the Democratic
masses. They are ready to rally
and to stand by their banuer whenever
• hey deem their canse in the State in dan
ger, but they seem to assume that all is
going right without effort on their part,
and they have evidently relaxed their en
ergies. In a word, there ia not that inter
est, energv at d activity which ought to be
manifest at a critical period like the
present.
We therefore call earnestly upon the ex
ecutive committee of each county in the
Siate. and upon every leading Democrat in
the State, tofgo actively and energetically to
work to make the organization complete in
counties where it is not already to. Oi
ganizs Democratic clubs where none exist,
and where it may be deemed necessary.
Have committees appointed to canvass
tbe different districts and counties and tee
*o it that there ia a full turnout at the polls
11 both the October and November elec
tions.
While the Democratic party are to be-
congratulated upon the universal barmom
which exists in the party and upon the
fact that old divisions and schisms in onr
ranks no longer exist, and that those is no
opposition to tbe Democratic candidate
or Governor and the other important of
fices of tbe State, it roost not be forgetten
that this general unity and freedom from
division, which was so desirable, is pro
ductive of a state of apathy *bich is to ne
deplored. Many Democrats, finding it in
convenient to go to the polls at the 8tat<
elections, may remain at heme, on tb«
ground that toe candidates for Governor
and other important offiers have m
opposition. And tb's would be *
matter of no consequence, were !•
not that tbe State election In Octo
her Is to be followed In Foven.ber by the
Presidential election, which is ko vitally
important. Let tbe Democracy see that
here Is a foil vote cast at the gubernatorial
•lection. While no danger*cau result tc
he DtJbocracy of this btate from a mes
ger vutcat that election, it rnny bo roisun-
ieretood and mkconstrmd in other sec-
ions of tbe Union where all the facts are
not known.
It is the duty of Democrats whenever
the party bss made nominations to stand
by the Democratic candidates and give
them an earnest and zealons support, it
is the dnty of the candidates ond leader* to
-ee to it that the proper tickets are prepar-
-d and distributed, and every proper effort
s made to secure a full turnout of the party
trength in the October election, for the
effect it will have on other States in the
November election.
The Democracy of Georgia has always
►ecupied a prominent position as an im
portant part of the great Democratic party
• *f tbe Union, which Is the party of the
conttitntion and of equal ssd just laws
The party that has Maintained the right*
and liberties of the native population o*
the conntnr. which. In the darkest hours
of their trial, bos stood immovably by the
rights of the torelgn-bom, naturalized dti-
zers of this republic.
The party opposed to nnjnst aggressive
uonopoly, and in favor of equal rights to
.•very citizen of the republic and of equal
.rotectlon to American capital and
Vmerican labor of every class anc
haracter. The party which has wlier<
in power honestly administered theaffain-
►f the government. The party of reform
when the government is uot honest'y and
conomically administered.
L*t os rally under the banner of this
zlorious old party, and never relax onr
-ffjrts until it is again inaugurated int
.tower and the constitutional rights ant 1
iberties of tbe people are again restored
tnd protected, as they were when the gov

CAMPBELL, CLAWSDLM OR JCNEO.
A Man Witn Three Name* ano an Imped
iment In Hie Speech.
A man whoso namo is either Campbell,
J mes, Cl&msdcn or something else, has been
fljuring in the press of Macon and Hawkins*
▼itlo ^lately, and ran a narrow escape yester
day from figuring in a court.
He furnished thcao columns ono day last
week with a story of how he was mobbed near
Charlotte, N. C., by a crowd of negroes, oue of
wliom he recognized at the Southern Hotel
recently and who fled from him and went to
Huwkinsvllle. Inquiries made of the author-
tics ut*Charlotto failed to verify Campbell’s
statements, and the eye of suspicion turned
toward the man of many names, and the po
lice placed him under tho ban. It
would be an impossibility to lose
him, as ho hits one of the most
remarkable impediment in his speech, which
he saya was caused by wwotind received in the
Southern army. The News thus relates
HIS EXPLOIT! IN HAWgINSVILLE:
“Two or three months ago there camo to
Hawklnavtile a man who registered at the
Joiner Houso as 'C. H. Clamden, Elbert, Ga.’
He remained here a day or two, during which
time he represented that ho was both deaf and
dumb, and solicited small sums of money from
our citizens to enable him, as he said, to sup
port a helpless and deformed sister. He
snorted around town considerably and acted
ridiculously in order to attract attention to
himself. A few weeks after Clamden's visit to
our town, the editor of thlk paper visited Ma
con and about tho first crowd he struck em
braced Clamden, who was leading In a lively
discussion over the prospects of the candi
dates for the Presidency, and with the excep
tion of the snort or Impediment to his speech,
wo discovered that he could talk as loud and
hear as perfectly as any one in the crowd. We
inquired about tho dead-beat and were In-
foraedithat* ‘ ‘
Hotel, andt
D. Campbell.”
Campbell has been lying around Macon for
month, stopping at the Honthcm Hotel. He
sold some kind of patent medicine nnd always
seemed to have plenty of money. The *
IMPEDIMENT IN U1S SPEEC1I
was so peculiar that he never failed to attract
attention on tho street when ho began to talk,
and this, with hia affair with tbe negro mob-
ber, gave him a notoriety he seemed to enjoy.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. H. K. Hhackclford,
tho livery stable man, swore out a warrant be
fore Justice Cherry charging Campbell with
stealing an overcoat, and also a dress coat. It
seems iliut Mr. Mimckclfonl has a room ad
joining that of Campbell, and when tbecout
which Campbell bod packed preparatoiy to
lcuving Macon. Tho warraut %a* placed In
the hands of officer Avant, who found his
man, after a long search, at the old Klinball
House. He wua arrested and taken to the bar-
rocki, where he uppeared greatly excited.
When asked why ho gave his name as Clams-
den and Jones iu llawklusville.be evaded the
question and would not answer.
PROMISE!! TO LEAVE TOWN.
Shackelford felt sorry for tho man, and
Inter in the afternoon effected a compromise,
by which Campbell would return the over
coat, pay ten dollars for tbe dress
coat and leave town before morning. He was
then released, and he returned to the Southern
Hotel. Hero he had a wordy difficulty with
Mr. Thornton, tho clerk, who sent after the
qolice. Officers Avant and Good roe responded
and be was locked u^» on a charge of disorder-

A Midnight Explosion.
■ At 12:15 o’clock last night an explosion took
place in the heart of the business portion of
~lty, the noise of which must have been beard
over tho entire town.
■ On Investigation the scene proved to bo in
rear yard of Turpin A Ogden's office.
Officer Henderson, who was on duty on Cherry
street, hurried through Wall street and saw
the sparks in the yard. Several ciUzensfol-
»wed. a “d the strong smelt of powder with
the bits of burning paper on the ground
■proved that the explosion certainly tcok place
Iu tbe yard. A candle was brought and a bro-
keu stave of a beer keg. together with two
broken hoops gave rise to the Idea that the
powder had been placed In a keg aud then

■ Nothing new was developed yesterday In the

a dynamite cartridge wa* placed in the keg

were found scattered about over the city.
