HOW GEORGIANS VIEW IT.
GCE9SING THE STATE HOUSE OF
FICIALS INDULGE INI.
Dan; of Them Favor David 11. Hill
aa Vice President—Phil Conk I.ikea
Carter Harriiton—Ll vlngston, Clay
and Bacon Arc for Hill—The Gov
ernor Says He Believes the Demo
crat! Will Win the Coniine Elec
tion.
Atlanta, Ga., June 28.—The coming con->
ventlon at Kansas City was the topic of
discussion with many of the politicians
at the capitol to-day. The probable nom
inee for Vice Preeident was dwelt upon
considerably. There were many who
favored David B. Hill of New York, while
others were for Gorman of Maryland, and
eonte for Carter Harrison of Illinois.
Sulxer and McClellan were scarcely men
tioned. The general opinion seems to be
that David B. Hill will be the nominee of
the party, and that the platform of 189 e
will be reaffirmed with few, if any,
changes. Secretary of State Phil Cook
Is a strong admirer of Carter Harrison of
Chicago, for Vice President. He says ho
is the best man for the place, and be
lieves the .Democrats could win with Har
rison as a running mate with Bryan.
The Georgia delegation will begin to ar
rive in the city day after to-morrow.
Until then It cannot be fold just who the
Georgians will favor, but at present it
looks like Hill will be the man. The New
York delegation will probably play an
Important part, however, in selecting the
nominee, end it may be that the Geor
gians will abide by the decision of the
New Yorkers.
Congressman Livingston is for Hill. He
gave out an interview in Washington sev
eral days ago, in which he stated he
thought Hill to be the best man in the
party to run with Bryan. Senator Clav,
it is said, is inclined the same way, and
so is Senator Bacon. While Hill did not
support the silver plank in the platform
of 1896. It is believed he will stand by the
platform now.
Gov. Candler says he believes the Dem
ocratic party will win the coming elec
tion. He has a great deal more hope
now than he had when Cleveland was
first elected. Gov. Candler and Senator
Clay discussed the situation fully on
Monday. The conclusion, arrived at was.
that the party’s chance of success is
greater than in 1896, when everything
looked so hopeful for a Democratic vic
tory. Cl'Hj
Col. Usher Thomason of Madison, when
asked about his favorite man for Vice
Preeident, said: “I have no favorite;
anybody who can heat Roosevelt. I think
HiU of New York is a strong man.” Tom
Eason of the Prison Commission, is also
In favor of Hill, whom he regards as
one of the strongest men in the party.

Stone Doe* Not See Why Platform
Should Re Repented.
St. Louie, June 28.—Ex-Gov. William J.
Stone, national committeeman from Mis
souri, and vice chairman of the Demo
cratic National Committee, in on Inter
view to-day, said:
“I have not dißcussed the platform or
any of its provisions with prominent lead
ers of the party, and do not know their
views, but so far as the silver question
is concerned, I do not think U Is import
ant whether the platform contains a gen
eral reaffirmation of the Chicago plat
form, or whether it contains a repetition
of that platform.
“The free coinage of silver has been
fixed as a Democratic principle. It was
so established by the fight which culmi
nated at Chicago In 1896. It was a real
Issue then, and it won and became a
cardinal Democratic doctrine. Now I
see no reason why we should specifically
repeat the free coinage plank of the Chi
cago platform, in order to prove lo the
country that we still adhere to It.
"Three planks in the Chicago platform
were specially criticised by our enemies.
They are the free silver. Income tax and
government by injunction declarations.
Of these, of course, the silver plank was
the most important. Now suppose the
party at Kansas City adopted a resolution
to (his effect: ‘We indorse and reaffirm
In whole and in part the platform of our
party adopted at Chicago in 1896.' ”

GAVE UP A PRISONER.
Judge Speer Honored an indict
ment Front Krntnekr.
Macon, June 28.—A striking In cident oc
curred In the United States Court here
to-day which would seem to Indicate that
the recent holding of Judge Addison
Brown that the indictment of a federal
grand jury counts for little is Judicially
repudiated in this state.
C. H. Wright was arrested on a capias
issued from the District Court of Ken
tucky on an indictment charging him with
the use of the mails with intent to de
fraud. A certified copy of the indictment
was produced and proof of the identifica
tion of the prisoner made before the vbm
mlssioner. The prisoner was then carried
before Judge Speer, who at once bound
the accused over for trial in Kentucky.
Judge Speer, in taking this action, said:
“It will be observed that the court does
not require proof that the grand Jury In
Kentucky had probable cause for Its ac
tion. It is presumed to have done Its duty
and the accused will be bailed or removed
for trial. Should I hold otherwise
the district attorney of Kentucky
must come here with his witnesses to
prove that his grand Jury did "true pre
sentment make." Let this be made es
sential or a port of the Federal procedure
and it will occasion utter paralysis of the
criminal prosecutions in the United Stales
courts in that muiltitUde of cases where
the accueed is enabled to cross a slate
line.
"To illustrate the enormous injury I
have but to call attention to the fart that
the district attorney of this district ia
now in New York with many witnesses
seeking to satisfy a Judicial officer there
that a grand Jury of this district was not
without Justification in finding an Indict
ment charging certain defendants with
conspiracy to embezzle public money In
this district. His presence there is made
obligatory. Asa result the criminal dock
et here cannot be disposed of.
"Perhaps a hundred men charged with
crime can go hence, or remain away with
out a trial, nnd all because the evidence
heard by a grand jury of this district
must be reviewed by a United States
Commissioner, or Judge in New York. Let
this practice be established in every Fed
eral Judicial district, and Congress may
legislate all it pleases against the evils
of the day, yet powerful men who violate
lows made for Ihe safety of the republic,
can snap their fingers at Ihe officers of the
law. The laws themselves will be mock
eries'. Disorganization and confusion, will
supplant the pure and impartial adminis
tration of justice which has characterized
the national courts from their organiza
tion o the present time."

AGAINST THE SOCIAL EVIL.
Judge Candler Sa>* the Grand Jury
Should Do It* Doty.
Atlanta, Ga., June 28.—1n passing sen
tence to-day on Minnie Cole, the keeper
of a notorious resort. Judge John 3.
Candler took occasion to comment on the
failure of the grand Jury to adopt his
suggestion, to Inaugurate a war upon the
social evil. He said: “If the grand jury
wants evidence, I think It can be had
without sending out many subpoenas. I
think it Is their sworn duty to Investigate
these open and notorious violators of the
law. Tho Legislature of this slate long
years ago, made the acts In question
penal, made (he keeping of houses for such
purposes penal, and did not except At
lanta from the oiieration of the law, and
neither the Grand Jury nor I can decline
to enforce the laws without neglecting our
duty, to use the mildest term I can now
think of. and this whether we
with the wisdom of the lnw or not. VVe
do not make the laws, but we swear to
enforce them.
“When juries in determining cases un
dertake 10 pass upon the wisdom of the
laws upon the statute books, they are a
rogatlng to themselves a most dangerous
power. If grand Julies can do It, travels
juries can do it with equal propriety.
Such Juries might determine that other
crimes should ngt be punished, and In
civil cases might undertake to render ver
dicts, not upon the law as given them In
charge and evidence ad luccd, but because
for some other reason they might think a
certain verdict should be rendered. If
this doctrine is lo prevail, then Ihe courts
had best suspend business.”
Judge Candler Imp sed a fine of $l5O an 1
cost upon Minnie Cole.
