THE STATE CONVENTION.
It was a glorious day to Geor
gians when on last Wednesday
Hon. Allen D. Candler was nomi
nated by the Democratic Conven
tion of the state for Governor.
He is the man to lead the Demo
cratic hosts to the greatest victory
in the October election that the
state has known in years.
The convention was unlike many
former ones in that it was not
dominated by politicians but the
great mass and sinew of the people
directed it proceedings. The ses
sion lasted not more than three
hours and was characterized by
the most harmonious work. Hon.
E. T. Brown of Athens, was made
temporary chairman, Hon. Flem
ing duBignou of Chatham was
made permanent chairman, and
Hons. John T. Boifeuillet of Bibb
and C. S. Northen of Fulton per
manent secretaries.
Judge J. B. Estes nominated
Colonel Candler for Governor in
an eloquent speech, and the nomi
nation was seconded by Mitchell
of Thomas, and others. The vote
of the convention was unanimous.
The following nominations were
made for the remaining offices:
Secretary of State, Phil Cook.
Comptroller General, William
A. Wright.
Treasurer, William J. Speer.
Attorney General, J. M. Terrell.
Commissioner of Agriculture, O.
B. Stevens.
Commissioner of Education, G.
R. Glenn.
Prison Commissioner, Joseph F.
Turner.
In his speech accepting the nom
ination, Candler said that he ac
cepted the honor as coming from
the people; that he had no old
scores to settle, no enemies to pun
ish or friends to reward, and that
it would give him the greatest
pleasure of his life if he could lead
his party to an old time Demo
cratic victory.
Hon. Clark Howell,chairman of
the committee on resolutions, said
in presenting the report that the
committee had done it work with
harmqny and practical unanimity.
The platform which was unani
mously adopted by the convention
begins by pledging anew its faith
in the principles underlying the
formatian of our government, its
loyalty to the flag of our country
and pronouuces the war with Spain
righteous and just.
On the subject of territorial ex
tension which it was thought
might provoke discussion, the
platform reads:
As to the incidental questions
that will arise as the result of the
war, we believe that the people
can be safely trusted to dispose of
every such question in a manner
which will be in keeping with the
spirit of our institutions and in
harmony with the principles and
record of the Democratic party.”
On the money question the ut
terance of the convention is clear,
leaving no room for doubt.
“We reaffirm and indorse the
Democratic national platform as
adopted at Chicago in 1896, and
especially do we reiterate and
urge its declaration upon the ques
tion of currency reform and the
free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the existing ratio ot
16 to 1 without the aid or consent
of any other nation.”
Col. H. W. J- Ham is a candi
date for clerk of the next legisla
ture. If Colonel Ham can only
get a house caucus together and
deliver to them one of his funny
lectures he’s a dead sure winner.—

We have yet to hear of Corbett

Evidently they have had all the^

When you start out to ‘'tackle” the
finny tribe don’t forget to take a bottle
of Dr. Tichenor’s Antiseptic. Nothing
equal to it for fin wounds, fish hook
wounds, bites and stings of insects and
it is no bad thing for “snake bite.”
Remember it cures colic also while you
wait about ten minutes. Any druggist
can sell it as fast as you can buy it.

HE MEANT WHAT HE SAID.
The Eatonton Messenger in the
course of an editorial under the
caption “Co-operate” has the fol
lowing :
It is to tfe hoped that Col. Candler
was in earnest in his platform declara
tion favoring economy in public ex
penditures, and, if possible, a reduction
of taxation. A great many people
voted for him because his platform
contained that plank, and they would
be keenly disappointed if he did not
make a strong effort to put it into
effect. It must be admitted that in his
campaign speeches Col. Candler did
not have much to say about the matter,
and what he said was vague and indefi
nite, but he might have thought that a
statement of his plans for public econ
omy before he was nominated and elect
ed was not good policy; therefore we
are not inclined to condemn him.
future will probably develop the fact
that he was very much in earnest, and
if so, then he will need the assistance of
the legislature, for the governor has no
power to enact laws nor make appropri
ations. He has only the veto power,
and that may be overridden by the leg
islature.
We beg to remind our friend of
The Messenger that Allen Candler
is not a man who makes the peo
ple promises and then goes back
on them. A perusal of his public
record substantiates this fact.
When he promulgated his plat
form in which he declared for a
reduction of taxation and m favor
of “stopping the leaks” in the
public treasury he meant every
word of it, and when be becomes
Governor of Georgia his best
efforts will be expended in bring
ing about this much needed relief.
The people who voted for him
because of this plank in his plat
form will be prouder of it after he
becomes Governor than they are
now because they will then see a
realization of their hopes.
In so far as the co-operation of
the legislature is concerned we do
not apprehend any trouble on this
score. The time has come in Geor
gia when the people will not ele
vate to public office men who will
not pledge themselves to exert
their best efforts in bringing about
the reforms suggested by Colonel
Candler. Taxation has become so
burdensome and public expendi
tures so great that the people are
determined that a stop shall be
put to it, and in the make-up of
the General Assembly this year we
expect to find just such men as
will give Colonel Candler the
hearty co-operation needed.
We further believe that the ad
ministration of Colonel Candler
will be more satisfactory to the
people of Georgia than that of
ay chief executive this state has
had in years.

/ An Old Idea.
Every day strengthens the belief of emi
nent physicians that impure blood is the
cause of the majority of our diseases.
Twenty-five years ago this theory was used
as a basis for the formula of Browns’ Iron
Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected
by this famous old household remedy are
I sufficient' to prove that the theory is correct.
