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. AVAS A FALSE, ALARM.

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.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 100 WILLIAM BT., NEW YORK. 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."

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. NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH.
