B ' * — - Jno.H. HODGES, Edi Perry, Thursday, August 14. r=r For the six offices for which candidates were to be nominated, there were contests for only two. A majority of the delegates were either alliancemen, or in direct The Georgia.State Alliance will and positive sympathy with the meet in Atlanta nest Tuesday. : Georgia state school fund for this year amounts to 8743,420. The establishment of an indus trial and cooking school is being talked of in Macon. Key. T. DeWitt Taljiage de livered a lecture at Piedmont Chautauqua yesterday. • The trials and imprisonment of Tom Woolfolk have cost Bibb county nearly $25,000. The work of constructing the Albany and Cordele railroad is progressing satisfactorily. The nominating convention of the 3rd congressional district of Georgia convenes at Hawkinsville to-day. Mb. Eobebt E. Park, of Macon, would make a most excellent pres ident of the Georgia State Al liance. Gbaud Master Powderly, of the Knights of Labor, publicly ex presses . his opposition to the fed eral election bill in very emphatic language. Through the persistent efforts of the Constitution and the Journal, an elephant and a lion have been added to the Atlanta zo ological collection. It is decidedly good for Georgia that Blount, Crisp and Turner will be returned to congress. No state in the Union can boast of a better trio of democratic statesmen. Hon. W. S. Vilas, Postmaster General in President Cleveland’s cabinet, will be the next democrat ic nominee for governor of Wiscon sin. Strong hopes of his election are entertained. Is s a remarkabb that one in ne gro farm laborers are dis r posed to rent land and become farmers on their “own hook." It Col. Felix Cokput will be. a candidate for Speaker of the next House of Representatives of Geor gia. It is not unlikely that he will be elected, as he is a very popular allianceman, and the alliance mem hers will be able to control the legislature. — — Any farmer in Georgia desiring the bulletins from the state expe riment farm can secure them by addressing K. J. Bedding, Direct or, Experiment, Georgia. The last bulletin contained excellent in formation concerning Irish potato .culture. A oentuby ago only one per son out of every 25 lived in the towns and cities. Now the proportion is" one to three. This increase of the cities at the ex pense of the rural districts is an tagonistic to the best material in terests of our country. The Georgia State Agricultural Society is in session at LaGrange. President Northen has declined re- election, and Secretary Nisbett has resigned, consequently these offices must be filled by election with new men. There are several candidates for each position. gg|;§j! The tax digests of 117 counties In Georgia have been received by the comptroller general at Atlanta. Nearly every county shows an in crease in the. value of property, and the aggregate increase in the 117 counties amounts to $20,- 770,2SS The republicans of Georgia have been instructed by the congres sional executive committee at Washington to place candidates for congress in the field in every district, in opposition to the demo cratic nominees. Money has been prom ised for sharp work in the 5th e.nd ninth districts, and they pre tend to believe that Livingston and Winn can be defeated. • In the fifth Bullock will be asked to run, and if he refuses, Ed. Angier will be the republican candidate. In the ninth either Pickett oi r Darnell will lead the forces against the democracy. MS s A firm of coffee dealers of New York, who have a capitpl of five million dollars, are considering a scheme to colonize negroes in Mexico. They own about 21,000,- 000 acres of land in that country, which they propose to devote to the the cultivation of coffee. They propose to colonize the negroes on this land, rent free, and furnish the means of support for the col onists until the lands are put under cultivation and become self-sus- The details are now be ing arranged in New York. It would be a good thing all round if about a million southern ne- us be colonized in tainiag. purposes of the alliance organiza tion. Yet Col. Emmett Womack, a close and special political friend of Pres. Livingston, was defeated for the position of permanent chairman of the convention by Mr. W. Y. Atkinson, of Coweta county. There was only .one candidate for governor, and he a farmer. The speeches were fervid, aggres sively democratic, all .demon strating that there is no fear nor likelihood that there will be any division of, or schism within, the ranks of the democracy of the Empire State of the South. Harmony prevailed throughout, and the work of the convention was concluded the same day it was or ganized. Candidates were plentiful from all parts of the state, and for all sorts of offices to be appointed by the next governor, or elected by the next legislature. The work of the convention ivas done qnickly and well done, The governor, secretary of state, comptroller general, and treasurer were nominated by acclamation. The attorney general was nomi nated on the first ballot, the vote standing 194 for Lester, 140 for Anderson. The commissioner of agriculture was nominated on the third ballot. The vote on the first ballot was Nesbitt, 142J-; Henderson, 140, Hunnicut, 53§. The convention was composed of 350 delegates, the majority rule prevailed, and 176 votes were re quired to no'minate. The nominated ticket is as fol lows: For Governer—Wm. J. Northen : of Hancock. For Secretary of State—Philip Cook, of Lee. For State Treasurer—Robert U. Hardeman, of Newton. For Comptroller General—Wm. A. Wright, of Richmond. For Attorney General—George N. Lester, of Cobb. For Commissioner of Aricultvre —Robert T. Nesbitt, of Cobb. In accepting the nomination for governor, Col. Northen delivered a strong, ringing, democratic speech clearly indicating his- complete worthiness to fill the position to which the democracy of Georgia has called him. Genuine states manship was shown in nearly ev ery utterance, and he emphatically proclaimed his intention to repre sent all the people of the state, giving special privileges to none. The Dlatform is short and to the point, though it would have suited us better had it offered and em phatically denounced the federal force bill now pending in the United States Senate. The committee on resolutions re ported the following as the plat form.of the state democracy: “The democratic party of Geor gia, in convention assembled, here by renews its pledges to the politi cal principles set forth in the na tional democratic platform of 1888. “We favor correcting all the abuses of government by a sjrict reliance upon the integrity and ability of the democratic party. We point with pride to the fidel ity and capacity with which the affairs of state have been managed by. our distinguished governor, JohnB. Gordon, and the other state house officers. We will heartily support the nominees of this convention, and we call upon all democr ats to support the party nominations in the various dis tricts and counties of the state. This report was unanimously adopted. The following state executive committee was chosen: First District—Bolling Whit field, of Glynn, and E. D. Graham. Second—J. L, Heard, of Mitch ell, Wm. Harrison, of Quitman. Third—R. T. Watts, of Stewart, E. H. Brown, of Pnlaski. Fourth—.J. C. Williams, of Har ris, T. H. "Whitaker, of Troup. Fifth—F. P. Rice, of Fulton, Murphey Candler, of DeKalb. Sixth—W. Dessa*, of Bibb, L. D. Shannon, of Twiggs. Seventh—M. A. B. Tatum, of Dade, J. M. McBride, of Haralson.. Eighth—W. H. Mattox, of El bert, -J. M. Smith, of Oglethorpe. Ninth—Louis Davis, of Haber sham, E. W. Watkins, of Gilmer. Tenth — James Whitehead of Warren, G. H. Comer, of Rich mond. Gov. Gordon gave a reception to the delegates and visitors Thurs day night. s conic It is now- almost certain thai E. Lester will be re-nominated for congress in the first district. The convention will meet Sept. 2nd. is rumored also that they are dined to-combine for higher wages in every avenues of work. Of course they have a right to rent land, if they can, and to se- cure.the best possible, wages con sistent : with the work- they do. But they have no right to at tempt an arbitrary adjustment of agricultural affairs that entirely ignores the,the rights of other peo ple in the premises. They can’t force-anything of this sort, ifjwe correctly appreciate the disposi tion, the general make up, and the temper of onr white farm ers. Now, our farmers are paying as much for farm labor as they are able, and no farmer can in justice to themselves pay higher prices. As to the negroes becoming ten ants, the solution of the matter is with the laud-owners. If they conclude that it is advisable to rent to negroes in prefer ence to white men no-body can say them nay. If this de done to any consider able extent more than now, the white farmers must protect them selves by using labor-saving im plements, and by enriching the soil and making as much as now on a greatly reduced area. In other words, the intensive system system of farming mast be adopt ed strictly, and applied with in creased energy. We hope that these rumors have very slight foundation in fact, for no possible good can come to the negroes through antagonism to the material ■ incerests of their white friends. A conflict of this sort would he disagreable to all parties for a time, but the will of the white people is sure to pre vail eventually. At any rate, we do not believe there will be any material increase of trouble ..n this line, but it would not be out of place for our farmsrs to pre pare themselves to meet the situa tion squarely. support a fairly selected nominee of the Democratic party be entitled to be called a Democrat ? It would be as consistent to call an Ethiopian a Turk.-- Brunswick Times. Thebe are strong indications that the iniquitous tariff bill now before the senate will not become a law, or if it does, the republican party will lose thousands of sup porters in the western and north western states. Blaine’s opposi tion to the bill, and his advocacy of reciprocal trade with South American countries, has caused an extensive split in the republican party, and some of the strongest politicians and editors of that party are now advocating a reduction of import duties. The rabid republican politicians, backed by President Harrison, still insist that the infamous federal election bill now penking in the senate shall become a law. Sev eral of the more honest senators have joined the democrats in op posing the measure, and the bill cannot be passed unless the senate rules are so changed as to cut off debate at the will of the majority. Protests against the bill have been forwarded by business men from all sections of the country. The alliancemen of Georgia are democrats, and the political work they have done has been strictly within the democratic party. However, the president of the na tional alliance declares the order to be political, but independent of parties. This looks like there might he an Alliance and Knights of Labor candidate in tbe field for the presidential campaign of 1892. Gov. Gordon says he is confident of being elected United States Senator by the next legislature, and that the talk about Col. Liv- .ingstou being a" candidate doesn’t disturb him at all.
