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 y ond the ken of the ordinary man. )et in aft< r days workeih womleis to perform Let UH |,„pe Hut all this gatheiing at Ontliu with its managemenl may prove beneficial to couiilry when the proper time comes for action. Meantime we 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 hues PUgS have Ud\t their intu hands nanus on the throais of the poor, laboring men, who realize but little for their work The could legislate against syndicate coni bines and corners ; tho State 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. Cleveland has made mistakes, Put I D mistakes would never have been noticed had not the baud of oppression already on the bugaB well as ihe goldbug will sap the life out of ever) thing arid every¬ body il by su< h they can swell their own pouches, and thus la) in supplies fiom which to sus tain life in days of luxury am 1 idleness, for which they look in coming years. Financially the country is in distress. Who pul |t ( | l( „ v u \\ | )0 can redeem it? Perhaps along this line. ! VVe got the following sensible article, headed. “A Friend to the; from the Covington En | ■ ‘ P„u- out of t o lieh members io I'ri hid u t ( Rvi-Liml’-* Cabinet are South ern men, ami Ihe majority of embassa¬ dors noil consuls io the principal coon tries abroad are not only Soutbe n men, hut old Confederate soldiers; anti yet, there are Democrats in Georgii and hern iri Newton county who abuse the President and say that he is an < nemy to lb i South and no friend to onr pro- 1 ,le.

Each has its own interpretation and col oring—hut “sicn is human na tur.” “Democrat in the Banner gi^os some wholesome advice to the party, coming in at an oppoi tune time. The slightest divis¬ ion may work disastrous results to the entire country.

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 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, 000 to add more buildings. . 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 loway.

Cox, chairman of t ie committee on Household Economies of the Woman’s He partment at the Cotton States and International Exposition, is enthusiastic over an exhibit in the form of an object lesson in domestic economy and culinary science. It is a part of the New York exhibit at the Exposition, and will be a model working¬ man’s home. A neat cottage, such as can he built for less than one thousand dollars, will be erected,and furnished on a scale of suited to the income of five hundred dollars, with a wife and four chileren.

It will be demonstrated that they can live comfortably on this sum. The full arrangements of the house will be shown, and the bill of fare cooked for’ every meal of the year at market pri¬ ces. Port Townsend, Wash,July 21 —News of the fate of a well known Alaskan prospector nam ed Fitzgerald was brought oy the steamer Topeka, which ar rived this afternoon fioin Sitka. He was on a prospecting tour, accompanied by two Indian boys, when he fell through a deep windfall into a hear cave where two cubs were sleeping Fitzgerald’s fall scared the cubs, whose squealing attracted the female hear, which at once be - gan a vigorous attack upon the unfortunate man.
