(Certainty, esteemed contemporary.
Nothing could be easier, and we take
1pleasure in making the explanation.
' The Alliance politioal maohlne (and
by that we mean the District Alliance
j that was organised for politioal pur-
lea) had not shown its hand when
“called on the Outbbert convcn-
ion to endorse Col. Wooten.” None
! the rampant intolerance of the or-
sion had shown itself up to that

tbat the Distriot Alliance pro-

OVH CANDIDATE.
Ben. E. Russell Is now the Ribald's
candidate for Congress.
Since Col; Wooten withdrew from
the race there has been more or less
talk about bringing out this man, that
man, or another. But while all this
has been going on Ben Russell has
been at work for true Democraoy. He
has rescued old Decatur from the
grasp of the Alliance political ma
ohlne, and on Saturday last he carried
the banner of .true Democraoy into
Colquitt.
Russell Is at work. That’s what we
need In the district—work. No man
can hope to win the race without pull
ing off his coat and going into the
light in earnest. Ben Russell has
started nut right in that line. He is a
brainvinan, a true mnn and an all-
wool yard-wide Democrat, and the
Herald Is for him how and to' the
finish, whether this mnn, that man or
the other concludes to enter the race
or not.
A FIELD DAI AT RIOL'I.TIII H.
Such arc the ^Eollau whispers which
come to us with the winds and raius
and over the tree-tops from the fair
county of Colquitt—from the oounty
of brave man and fnir women, frum
tbe county of sturdy yeomen, who for
ever and aye stand shoulder to shoul
der with their fellowmen In days of
trial and trouble.
A field day atJMoultrle! Last Sat
urday the Irnn-rlbhed Democrats
marched In review, with the banners
of Cleveland and Russell at their head.
“Down with the force bill; down
with its advocates, Its sympathizers
direct and Indirect, whether they be
Third Party men or not; §nd relief
from the iniquities of MoKinley turill'
Issues,” were the refrains of the throng.
Russell and Spence were there, but
where were Stevens, and Winter, and
Griggs, and Pickett ami Jaokson?

Paiison Wadhwokth, editor of the

Delaware papers state that tho
cherry orop is ruined on aocount of so
much wet weather. If the cherry
trees could have taken a trip South for
a few weeks this spring, nnd our oot-
ton crop been moved up North for a

summation.
The Atlanta Constitution fought
Cleveland with all Its might, but it
gracefully yields to the expressed will
of the great majority of the Demo
oratie party, and has gone to work
with true Deuiooratlo loyalty for the
election of the tloket. The Constitu
tion never sulks.
Col. C. B. Wooten says that if the
state of his health will permit, he will
make some speeohes for Ben Russell
before the oampaign Is over. Although
lie has retired from the Congressional
race himself, he has not lost interest
in it, and will do all In his power for
the oause of true Democraoy.
Now let us go to work with a will,
brother Democrats, and elect the ticket
that has been nominated. What mat
ters so much tbe man, any way? It is
the principles he represents and not
himself that we Bhould consider. One
man from among the good and true of
the Demooratio ranks is as good as
another. The important thing is that
the party unite on tbe man and work
for him with a will.
THE latest move of the Albany Inetion is an
other more atartlins than anything it has yet
done. Tho County Campaign Club will call on
the counties ot the district to appoint or elect
bolting delegates to the Congressional convcn
tlon.—Thomnsvillo Nows.
What? The Demooratio Club of
Dougherty County call on the coun
ties of the distriot to elect “bolting
delegations” to tbe Congressional con
vention t Where did our Thomasville
contemporary get its authority for
this rash assertion?
One of the ablest and ipost thor
oughly ounsiitent Democratic papers
on the IIehald’s list of Northern ex
changes Is the Philadelphia Record,
and the unqualified endorsement that
it gives to the Democratic platform
adopted at Chicago encourages us to
believe that the framers of the Instru
ment upon whleh the party goes be
fore the oountry In the present cam
paign bullded wisely, and that a full
party vote will be cast for the Demo
cratic nominees In the EaBt.
The Beoord sizes up the platform as
follows:
“The platform adopted at. Chicago Is
diffuse to the point of Weariness, hut
it has the great merit of clearness In
its dealing with' actual Issues.
“The proclaimed Intention of the
Reptibliean party to renew Its conten
tion for Federal control of elections
Justified and necessitated the rensser-
tlon of the Democratic position on thnt
subject. There can bo no mistake as
to the meaning of the Inngunge em
ployed.
“Immediate reform of the tariff Is
insisted upon on the lines Indicated
by Democratic Congresses. The reso
lution on the subject, ns presented In
the majority report, was pitched In n
moderate key, neatly parrying and
puncturing tbe Republican pretense
thnt the object of protective taxation
is solely to protect domestic labor
ngainit cheaper foreign Inbor by de
claring the difference in the dost of
labor n proper measure of tnrlff duty,
and that all exactions In excess
thereof were unjust nnd oppressive.
But' tlio convention was In no
temper for any tnrlff declaration fall
ing short of n demand for a tnrlff for
revenue only. The minority report,
as tbe more radical statement of the
position of tbe party, was substituted
by a decisive vote. There Is no room
for quibble ns the resolution stands.
The repeal of the McKinley turllf not
is promised ns n consequence of the
re-establishment of tbe Democracy in
tbe control of the Government, nnd
the substitution of actual for slmni re
ciprocity; but the party Is pledged to
a careful regard of interests and In
vestments made upon the faith of Fed
eral legislation. The chnuge from a
protective to n revenue policy will be
gradually effected, so as to revive
rntlier than retard the growth of legiti
mate Industries,
“The silver plunk is unexpectedly
sound and satisfactory. It declares
unequivocally fur dollars uf gold and
silver of equal Intrinsic value, and Tor
paper dollars redeemable in coin or
for such adjustment by international
agreement as shall maintain an en
forced pnrlty between gold and silver.
This is expllolt hard money doctrine,
and worthy of the hard money party
of the time of Jackson.
"These three planks nre the backbone
nnd substance of the platform. On the
Issues so made the late of the election
depends. All the rest is subsidiary
and matter of course. But this much
was necessary in order to lit the plat
form to the candidate and to put the
Democracy on safe and solid grpund.
“Thrice Is he armed who linth his
quarrel just. The National conven
tion has done Its work well. There
need be no fear of the result,”
The tendency of the present age is
ntlrply too much 1
entirely too much toward fast living.
And by this we mean to say that the
tendency is not only toward reokless
social dissipation but useless extrava
gance. Too many of us are not only liv
ing too fast for our minds and bodies,
but for our pocketbooka as well.
This Is especially true of tbe young
people of the present day, and it is
woefully true In too many instances
here in Albany. We say this In all
kindness, and will add that the young
people themselves nre not wholly to
blame for It. The example is set them
by many who are old enough to know
better, and they are Indulged in their
fast and expensive tendencies by their
parents and employers.
The tendency townrd fast and ex
pensive living is really getting to be
alarming, and It is time for us to begin
to look ourselveBovernnd “take stook.”

These are searching questions, and
It may be embarrassing to you to ask

to bring yourself face to fnoe with

The Democratic convention at Chi
cago has done Its work, and ex-l’resl-
dent Cleveland, of New York, nml ex-
Governor Stevenson, of Illinois, are
the nominees, respectively, for Presi
dent and Vice President.
The nomination of Mr. Cleveland
was almost a foregone conclusion be
fore the convention assembled, and the
country was prepared for uo other re
sult; but that of ex-Governor Steven
son for the Vice Presidency was rather
a surprise to those away from the
onucuslng and wire-pulling.
But the ticket has been well received
by Democrats everywhere, and those
who were in position to feel the pulse
of Democratic sentiment at the criti
cal period following the formal an
nouncement of Mr. Cleveland’s nomi
nation, are of the opinion that the
choice of the lllinoiean was a happy
one—one that assures the electoral vote
of that great State for the Democratic
nominees.
Whatever our Individual preferences
or opinions may have been before the
nomination, It is now the duty ot all
Democrats to ratify tbe action of the
party in convention assembled and go
to work for the election of the tloket.
Grover remained at his home at
Buzzard’s Bay with Frances and the
baby, an^ kept sober. '
The feeling of unfriendliness and
jealousy existing between tbe Atlanta
Journal and the Constitution results
in a good deal of amusement for their
respective readers if it is productive
of nothing else. But too much danger
threatens the Democraoy of the South
for two of its leading papers to waste
so muoh brain and ink in dingingmud
at a contemporary. The present con
dition of the political campaign calls
for the hearty, united efforts of all
Democrats to elect the Demooratio
ticket nowin the field, regardless of
personal desires or prejudices. Stop
quarreling, Bre’r Howell and Bre’r
Smith, and go to work for Democracy
Instead.
Mr, and Mrs. Cleveidiid, with a few
friends, sat op nearly all night
Wednesday,night to get the news
from the convention at Chicago. Mrs.
Cleveland left her husband and re
tired a short while before the news of
ihe decisive ballot \vns rereived, hut
Mr. Cleveland con tinned to wait until
4 o'clock, when the result of the ballot
renohed him. To Governor Russell,
who had wailed with linn, Mr. Cleve
land gave the following for the public.
It was written after receiving the
news, nnd Just before Mr.'Cleveland

“I am confident that our fellow-
countrymen nre ready to receive with
approval the principles of true De

necessary to persistently and honestly
advocate these principles.
“Difference in opinion and judgment

means unwholesome iudlcalions, hut
It Is hardly conceivable, in view of the
importance of our success to the coun
try nml to the party,that there should
be anywhere among Democrats any
lack of harmonious nnd active effort
to win in the campaign which opens
before us. I have, therefore, no con
cern on that subject.
“It will certainly be my constant en

Buzzard’s Bay, Mass., June 24.
The interesting family at Gray
Gables has quieted down to every-day
home life, and the serenity whloh sur
rounds Hon. Grover Cleveland is no
doubt a pleasant relief.
Mr, Cleveland rose early this morn
ing, summoned the son of Ills ground-
keeper, young Cnpt. Fred Nickerson,
and prepared for a Ashing trip down
the bay." He returned with the first
blueflsh he has captured this season.
Congratulatory telegrams continue to

WANTED JEFFERSON TO ACT.
Mr. Cleveland repents with much
apparent enjoyment one of the stories
which the veteran actor, .Toe Jefferson,
offered yesterday morning, while the
Cleveland household and their guests
from the Jefferson villa, with Gov,
Russell, were awaiting the result of
the decisive ballot at Chicago. Mr.
.Jefferson was being driven through
the Bourne woods ton pond to fish by
a native, who ventured to ask:
“Do you act, Mr. Jefferson?”
“Yes, a little.”
“Wnll, I’ll give yer50 cents to out up

Before leaving Chicago for New
York, Chief Croker of Tammany, said :
“Tammany is a Democratic organi

of the convention. We will try to roll
up for Cleveland, and Stevenson the
biggest majority that a national tlokejt
ever received in New York.”
Lieut. Gov. Sheehan said: “i should
consider It an Insult If anybody asked

Chairman Peroy Edward Murphy
said: “All our coats are now off, and
we will work heart and soul for the
ticket.”
State Comptroller Campbell said:
“We are Democrats, and we live by
Democratic success.”
Cleveland’s great opponent, Calvin
Brice, pronounced the ticket a strong
one, predioted its success and ex
pressed his perfeot willingness to
ratify the convention’s choice.
Congressman O’Neill, of Missouri,
pronounced the tloket a sure winner.
Said Franklin D. Looke, of Buffalo:
“A good nomination. It makes Demo

Senator Gray, of Delaware, said:
“Cleveland represents everything that

That was a rattling good speech

Demooratio convention at Chicago.
The Herald went to press about
half an hoHr before the news of the

there comes a regular hard downpour,
which is thought to be the finish, but
light drizzles and showers continue to
fall. Heavy clouds linve been floating

Mr. Cox will go to Atlanta, where he

Officers Raley and Barron arrest
