HAMMOND NOMINATED.
Mr. Hudson, of Spalding, aroso and offered
the following resolution:
3 he democracy of the fifth congressional dis
trict, in convention assembled, for tho purposo of
nominating a democratic candlriAte to represent
this dhtrk-t in the forty-ninth congress, declares
its faithful devotion to the principles ol the na
tional democratic party, ns announced by its lato
convention at Chicago.
In the nominees of that convention for pros!-
dint and vice-president, we recognize those quali
ties of manhood and statesmanship evidenced by
public services, which commend them for tho
weitncst support of every voter whose interest
and desire la for honest and constitutional ad
ministration of tbe government.
That It is with pride wo take koowledgo ol tho
dhtlDguUhcd service rendered tho district ami

represented the fifth congressional district ofGoor-
three terms in tho national congress. Tnc
r, Industry aud fidelity evidenced In Ltd* scrv??

when the district will bare been reappor-
tlonted In tbe future he will be his
successor many times for be cannot
be rcdbtrlctcd out of the hearts of those who know
him." There was much cheering alter this. When
it had subsided, Hon. Clifford L. Anderson, Jr., of

R lute bis past record as a statesman, and recognize
rat to this district and to th&Jtate at Urge ho
has been a faithful and efllcient servant, one
who bad always at heart . the . Interests
of bis people, aud one who is endowed by nature
with the ability and force to advauce those in
terest*; and, whereas, the very fact that his name
is now iu nomination before this convention, un-
suppesed. is of Itself tbe best proof of the nigh
place that he holds In tbe esteem of hi* conatltu-
cnt*. and of the perfect fitness for the position
which bis intellectual peers, as well as all others,
mends him to tho voters of the district, believing
that they may safely entrust their latereite to his
lrands, and that the Hon. Jai. If. Blount be nomt-
uated by acclamation as the jrarty nominee.
NOMINATED BY ACCLAMATION.
At the conclusion of the resolution, tho chair-
man put the question before the convention, and
Mr. Blount was nominated unanimously, amid

THB STATE MILITARY.
An Eloquent Appeal in Its Uehnlf Based on
Common Meuse.
We copy below, for tho purpose of indoralng
cordially, tho address of Colonel C. W. AndcrsAn,
of Savannah, on the ncc<l of a well organized and
well equipped state militia. It does seem to ns
that no argument I* needed to Induce tho legisla
ture to act promptly aud fully in the matter of oar
vetunteer soldiery.
Colonel Anderson says:
But the time ha* come for the volunteer soldiery
to demand recognition from tho state. An soon
as there Is the slightest disturbance of the peuco
wcarc met with kid gloves and courteously and
cordially Invited by the state authorities to inaku
* ol ourselves, and a* soon as the emergency
has passed, the lawmakers of the great state snub
us and sneer at their citizen volunteers with tbel?
"tam y uniiornra, drew parades, holiday displays,
and fuss and feathers generally." It Is hard to aav
it, but it is nevertheless a fact that Georgiy our
grand old commonwealth, who has always
bceu truo to herself aud who has never
whose principles
>y and candidly pro-
* ??ver lieen character-
mexierution, who has
niwnja in-rn iiiimui 10 an the obligstions she has
ever assumed, who has won a pre-cralnenco of
glory and renown unsurpassed-in the annals or
this country, whodias ever traveled the jntli
biased by honor and duty-Georaia, the grand old
keyrione state of tho south, Is, by her action,
ciushittff out the military spirit, and with it the
manhood of her sons.
GEURUIA???S NECESSITIES.
"How different is it In the great empire state of
the north. 8cveu yean .ago, when red-handed
communism was holding high carnival in tho
north, east and west, and a howling mob was lay
ing waste the great state of Pennsylvania, In Now
York, with a worse element to contend with, not
a dollar's worth of property was destroyed, not a
gun wss fired oflTor a life lost. Why was this differ-
erecce In these two great states? Pennsylvania
did nothing for her volunteer force, did not reeog-
nlze the importance of fostering Its military or
conizations. New York was annually appropria
ting from fa'*,000 to *500.000 for the rualatertaneo
of her volunteer*] and at tllkt time she had 2a,(XA>
vania, there was fl.ftOO.ood worth oTpropcrty fol
stioyed by the mob. The state authorities were
compelled to humiliate themselves by Invoking
the anlttatue of the general government, in con
sequence of her small and inefficient force. What
was the result of this? To-day Pennsylvania is
tbe most generous state In the onion to her vol-
under tone, and baa the best equipped volunteer
soldiery In tbe country- Can it be possible that
Georgia is waiting for a repetition of the fearful
the tremendous lussol property and liia
??? t at Pittsburg???to arouse It to its duty and
sense of justice to iu volunteers? We sre not ask
ing for. any h.rue amount oi money. We simply
want to te equipped and recognized.
