The Argus does not propose to leave
the democratic camp because it can

goldbugism, and the Argus is a Dem

Since congress has adjourned
President Cleveland has announc

The latest, and perhaps the
most correct estimate of the status
of tho Democratic convention
which will meet in Chicago soon
is that there will be 594 delegates
favoring the free coinage of silver
and 336 delegates w ho favor a gold
standard, a majority of 258 for
silver. It looks at this time as if
there would Ie no straddling of
the questi' n, and that the financial
i.-sue will be clear cut and well de
fined. And it is better that it
should be so. Let the issue be set
tled, one way or the other.
The Republican Convention.
The Republican convention held
at St. Louis last week nominated
for its presidential ticket, \\ m .
McKinley of Ohio, for president,'
and Garrett A- Hobart, of New
Jersey, for vice president.
The other presidential aspirants
such as Reed, Morton, Quay and
Allison were at no time considered
formidable opponents of the Buck
eye statesman, who, under the
guiding hand of Mark Hanna, sim
ply swept the field.
There is nothing of more than
passing interest in the platform
adopted except the financial plank
■which reads as follows:
‘ The Republican party is unre
strictedly for sc-und money. It
■caused the enactment of the law
providing for the resumption of a
specie payment in 1879; since
then every dollar has been as good
as gold.
We are unalterably opposed to
every measure calculated to debase
our currency or impair the credit
of our country. We are therefore
opposed to the free coinage of sil
ver except by international agree
ment with the leading commercial
nations of the world, which we
pledge ourselves to promote, and
' until such agreement can be ob
tained the existing gold standard
must be preserved. All our silver
and paper currency must be main
tained at tho parity with gold, and
wo favor all measures designed to
maintain inviolable the obligations
of ihe United States and all our
money, whether coin or paper, at
tho present standard —tho stand
ard of the most enlightened na
tions of the world .”
Twenty-three silver delegates
walked out of tho convention, hav
ing previously declared that they
would not support a straight gold
platform. The seceding delegation
was headed by Senator Henry M.
■ Teller, who has represented Colora-
I do in tho United States Senate for
tho past twenty years. This de
fection in tho Republican ranks
constitute about one-seventh of
tho Republican strength in tho
last senate, raid created a profound
impression on thoconvention when
tho l>‘dters walked out.

An Arkansas editor says of his

In politics it is best to stick to
your party. Your views may not
obtain every time, but to have a
party you must be willing to be
governed by the majority. If ev
ery man should kick out because
things didn’t go to suit him there
would be no party, but every indi
vidual fighting on his own hook.

By a decision of the supreme
court, the charters granted by the
legislature to all towns containing
less than 2,000 inhabitants are
declared void. Under a statute of
the state and which has not been
legally repealed, all such charters
should have been granted by the
Judges of the superior courts. The
decision has caused widespread
consternation, as probably one
hundred towns in Georgia come
under the ban. All their acts,
such as collecting taxes, issuing
bonds, imd in fact all acts are null
and void. They really have no

A good looking well to do bach
elor of Griffin was being teased by
the young ladies of a club for not
being married. He said: “I'll
marry the girl of you whom on a
secret vote, you elect to be my
wife.” There were nine members
of the club. Each girl went into i
a corner and used great caution in
preparing her ballot and disguised
the hand writing. The result of
voting was that there were nine
votes cast, each girl receiving one.
The man remains a bachelor, the
club is broken up and the girls are
all mortal enemies, united in the
one determination that they will

Rev. R. F. Taylor Dead.
Rev. R. F. Taylor, formerly for
many years pastor of the Presby
terian church at this place, died
at his home in Cassville Tuesday
night of last week, at the advanced
age of 74 years. The remains were
brought to Summerville Wednes
day evening for interment, a large
congregation of relatives and
friends being present to pay a last
sad tribute to his memory.
Mr. Taylor's death was caused
by a stroke of paralysis which
came on him about two weeks ago.
Since that time his decline had
been steady until death came to
his release.
He has been in the ministry for
many years and had served a num
ber of dill’erent churches through
out north Georgia. When worn
out with his labors he located at
Cassville where he has spent the
later years of his life in peace and
quietude, waiting for the summons
that he knew could not be long
delayed. Only a few weeks ago he
celebrated his golden wedding.
He leaves an aged wife and one
daughter. Mrs. Barry, of Atlanta,

. SENATORIAL CONVENTION,
Met In Rome Last Saturday And
Endorsed Shropshire.
The Senatorial convention ”bf !
the Forty-second district met in |
Rome last Saturday, and it was, in
many respects, a lively meeting.
T. J. Lyon, of Bartow, chairman
■ of the executive committee, gave
• notice that a contest against the
> Floyd delegation had been filed,
i and that therefore they cou’d not
i vote in the organization of the
, convention.
Nine delegates, favorable to Mr..
; Shropshire, had received in the ,
t primary held in Floyd Juno 6,
an average of 1,350 votes each. A
} delegation of nine who were op
: posed to Mr. Shropshire, received
in the same primary an average
} vote of 127. This latter delegation
I consisting of Messrs J. B. F. Lump-1
( kin, R. T. Connally, 11. D. Cunyus, I
.J. C. Mull, F. A. Johnson, S. M.i
, Stark. W. S. Simmons and W. J.
3
Neel was the one that filed the I
contest, on the ground, as learned
f i
later, that no call had been issued
1 in Floyd for the election of said
senatorial delegates and therefore
the election was not regular or le
s gal.
i When Chairman Lyon had ruled
> out the Floyd delegation which
had received the 1,350
and which had credentials from
John J. Black, chairman of the
Floyd county executive committee,
L certifying to their election, and
had made the ruling that. only
Bartow and Chattooga could vote,
Judge Bellah, of Chattooga, got
) the floor and announced most pos-
- : itively that the Chattooga delega-
; ti<m would take no part, whatever
’, in any such proceeding. The
Floyd delegates were not allowed
by the chair to vote and Chattooga
rerused tg vote, and so the Bartow
delegation alone, elected W. IL
, ’ Lumpkin temporary chairman.
- ' Mr. Lumpkin then appointed
the following as a committee on
! credentials: Messrs T. S. Ander
son and J. W. Harris, of Bartow,
’. and J. M. Bel.ah of Chattooga.
'Judge Bellah again announced in
I very strong language, and the
r most emphatic manner possible,
that he would have nothing wbat
r ever to do with the meeting as
then being run by the Bartow
crowd, and so the two delegates
. from Bartow retired,
I, While this committee of two was
out tho scene in the hall was hot
- in the extreme. The high handed
and unwarranted ruling of Tom
! Lyon, as chairman, and the bold
and unscrupulous attempt to rule
out the regular delegation of Floyd
_ created intense indignation, and
5 it is said that the language at
. times was sulphurous. So great
was the feeling manifested, and so
. . awkward the situation of the Bar
tow crowd when they found that
. I the Chattooga delegates refused to
. take part in the bold and unscru
. pulousgame, that the contest was
1 abandoned and the two Bartow
. delegates who were out as a com
mittee on credentials, were recalled
aud then the meeting was regular
j ly organized.
J, W. Harris then named Mr.
' Shropshire as the Democratic nom-
■ inee for senator from the 42nd
■ district which on being seconded,
was unanimously endorsed by ev-
■ ery member of the convention.
' A. W. Fite, who was present and i
■ seemed to be engineering the mat- i
ter, very frankly outlined his little I
scheme after it was all over. His
object, as he stated, was in the end
to seat enough of the contesting I
delegates in Floyd, the crowd who i
had got 127 votes, to give the Bar
tow’ delegation a majority. This ‘
being accomplished, it was intend-:
’ ed to have the convention instruct
Mr, Shropshire to vote for Fite for
judge.
Comment on such conduct as
outlined above is needless. There
are quite a large number of people
in this section of the country who
believe in old fashioned honesty,
and fair and square niefhcd?L and
they will condemn in the strongest.
manner any such reprehensible
methods, and especially when prac
ticed by anv one whe is seeking to
_ • °
fill the honorable and responsible i
position of a judge of the superior :
court, a position of great impor
tance, and of very grave responsi
bility. - As stated above, comment
is needless; a plain presentation of
the facts is all that is necessary.

Rules Laid Down By Dawes Com-.
mission.
Congress has passed the provis
ion's in the Indian appropriation
hill which maps out the work of
the Dawes commission and the
Sentinel gives below the exact
terms of the provision. It reads
thusly:
The said commission is authori
zed and directed to proceed at once
to hear and determine the appli
cation of all persons who may ap
ply to them for citizenship in any
of said nations, and after such
hearing they shall determine the

ers shall decido all such applica
tions within ninety days after the

ing ad such applications, said com
missioners shall respect all laws
of the several nations or tribes,
not'inconsistent with the laws of
the United States and with all
treaties with either of the said na
tions or tribes, and shall give due
force and effect to the rolls and
customs of said nations or tribes.
Section 8. That the rules of
citizenship of the several tribes, as
now existing are hereby confirmed,
and any person who shall claim to
be entitled to be added to said
rolls as a citizen of either of said
tribes and whose right thereto has
either been denied or not acted
upon, or any citizen who may
within three months from and af
ter the passage of this act desire
such citizenship, may apply to the
legally constituted court or com
mittee designated by the several
tribes for such citizenship, and
such court or committee shall de
termine such application within
thirty days from the date thereof.
In the performance of such du
ties said commission and each of
them shall have power and author
ity to administer oaths, to issue
process for and compel the attend
ance of witnesses, and to send for
persons and papers and all deposi
tions and affidavits and other evi
dence in any form whatsoever here

territory, and to use every fair and
reasonable means within their
reach for the purpose of determin
ing the rights of persons claiming
such citizenship or to protect any
of such nations from fraud or
wrong; and the rolls so prepared
by them shall be hereafter hold
and considered to bo tho true and
correct rolls of persons entitled to
the rights of citizenship in said
several tribes. Provided that if

sion after the expiration of nine
months shall cause a complete roll
of citizenship of each of said na
tions to be made up from their
records, and said rolls shall be,
and are hereby made rolls of citi
zenship of said nation of tribes,
subject, however, to the determina

provided herein. The commission
is hereby required to file the lists
of members as they finally approve
them with the commissioner of
Indian affairs to remain there for

citizenship in said tribe and shall
include their names in the list of
members to be filed with the com
missioner of Indian affairs; and
said commission is further author

or, and by whom and from whom
said property is leased, and are
further directed to make full and
detailed report as to the excessive
holdings of said tribes and others.
It is hereby declared to be the
