THE GRIFFIN CONVENTION.
The resolutions introduced by
Capl. Ilovrell, and adopted by
the Griffin convention did not
use the phrase, “free and unlim¬
ited coinage of silver.” Wo were
glad to see this. The conven¬
tion favors himetalism—the coin
age of both gold and silver free
of mintage, as the platform of
M2 puts if . We stated from tho
beginning that the matter would
work right so that by MO Hem
ocratscould he agreed,and could
stand without division on the
same platform, We have seen
the manipulations of the keen
and far-seeing politicians- in
quietly not allowing the J’opu
hsts active participation in their
proceedings, and snubbing the
man from l’ike, who wanted to
be open and above board in let¬
ting the world know that no one
was allowed to affiliate with
them except simon-pure J)emo¬
t-rats. The county politicians,
not willing to he responsible for
any offense that might he taken,
appointed Populists as delegates
from some sections to the Grif¬
fin convention, which when as¬
sembled felt, its importance and
dignity t.o such a degree that the
recognition of Populists, as such
tlrire, would be detrimental to
Democratic interests. Bo that,
as first stated, the whole subject
was deftly and delicitfly ban
died, that Democracy might re
luain inttiei. and the Populists
in all the charity of their good
n atures might not he offended.
Thu wiry wax s of the shrewd
politicians are some times be

wish to say that we” are not
free and unlimited coinage i,
*
man, hut we do believe in the
free mint<ge of both gold
silver. In other words the plat
form of Mi is On. r-rtiolos of
Democratic faith, ami w* nor
any other Democrat can „ ailord ..iv.-.,-a
to depart , . from , the .. faith . ..l while
Ihe country is patsi,,* through
such a Severn trial and financial
pressure. We believe, too, that
much mucll of or the“trials tne Uiaisanupi and pressure”
of the present conies from the
fact. that, both cold and silver

could enforce the law of 7 and 8
percent pertem-iuniwum interest on loans, knock
iog out the banking institutions
which evade this law, so as to
make from 1*2 to 15 per cent, in
ferret. No, gentlemen, the ad
ministration is not responsible
for all the ills of this country.

We have no hesitancy in say¬

held upon finances given by the

its own interpretation and col

a synopsis of the articles,though
such would be entertaining to
our readers. The speech at the
conclusion by H. W. J. Ham,
the Georgia Cracker, upon the
“Country Editor—His Mission
and Peculiarities” was the one
of the day, For a time he kept
the audieuce in an uproar with
his anecdotes, illustrating many
strong points ; but when the at¬
tention was fully at command
he went off in a most brilliant
and eloquent address, displaying
a knowledge of facts in history
pertaining to this great republic,
surprising his most ardent ad
nv.rers.

The Seminary here is in fine
condition. The patronage has
grown to over 200 pupils, and
the demand for more room has
been responded to by the citi
Z?U8 , who have subscribed $10,

The banquet at the Arlington
was a success, although the mo¬
uu was plain, and there Yvas no
champagne at had. Dr. Osliu
was at, his best as toastmaster,
and the responses were well
timed and appropriate,and some
of them eloquent. The response
to ‘-Woman,” by Mr. Calloway,
the governor’s private secretary,
was somewhat too long for such
an occasion, yet it was replete
with beautiful sentiment I and
chaste thought,doing homage to
woman and credit to Mr. Uai

erected,and furnished on a scale
of suited to the income
of five hundred dollars, with a
