Never has shrewder work—and more“Bingu’ar - ’ coincidences oc cured in the opening of a political campaign than that developed Ly to ay p >pulistic convention. A. 1 o'clock the populists reassem bled at the Court house and alter some preliminary work appointed a committee on platform. This commit tee headdcd by M L. Palmer soon returned aid reported the" Omaha Platform of 92 and the third party Atlanta Platform of May 91, which were adopted A committee of one from each country was sent out to select a can didate for nomination ior congress. In due course of time this committee, headed by Mr, S. J. Whatley filed in .and reported naming: Dr. Wm, 11. Felton of Bartow. This report was accepted and without a dissenting vote “Old Etowah Bill” was nominated. A Committee of three were appointed to go after Dr. Felton, who by a strange coincidence was, for the first time m months in thiscit is son’s wedding and a committee of two at major Zacharias Hargrove was appointed to wait on Seab Wright and ask him to come up and speak. In the mean time McGarrity, Terrell Speed and Major Zacharias made readheaded addresses though Terrell looked rather “sleepish’ being caught in such company. The committee returned. One re’ ported that Seab had gone to dinner and the other that Dr. Felton was trying to catch the 3 o’clock train*for home. The Felton committee notified the convention that Dr. Felton says he accepts the nomination on the condi tion that if, through the campaign he finds that he is physically unable to prosecute the canvass, then at his mere request he is to be permitted to withdraw. The c nveutiou was nfficia’ly inform ed that Se th would stump the dis trict for T<r Felton. The convention having labored ,adjourned. Dr, Felton, full of tire and life was seen ai the depot as he was leaving He said that he accetped the nomination and that he stood squrely on every plank iu the third party platform, That the only plank he had doubted was the railroad plank, but that since the Pullman Strike, and since Pull man refused to aibitrate, he was infavor of the Goverumeutowuing the trunk lines. That for 20 years he had been in favor of fiat money; that when the government put its seal on gold, silver or paper it made it worth one hundred cents to the dollar, and thereby established a parity. So—we are to have a relay race, and while the old Doctor opens the race, the third party trixters pro pose to ring in a new horse —even Seaborn—on the home stretch — All the same John Maddox will defeat the field, jockeys, trick mules and —Zachariases, ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.

ROME GEORGIA. WEDNESDAY EVENING AUGUST. 15 1894. IMMUNE POLLA RO Os Breckinridge-Pollard Damage Suit fame, TO GO ON THE STAGE. Business is picking up al Along the Line Railroad Earnings Have Largely Incrersed over Last Year. N u w York, Aug. 14.—Atten tion has been repeatedly called to a revival of business in the South, which is rapidly con verting the losses in earnings re ported by the railroads into gains. In the Southwest too,there are evi dences of recuperation,and the Mis souri Pacific, as well as other lines is doing better than in 1893, The increasing railway receipts have made an impression upon the capitalist, who are content to use them as a basis for investment and speculation in various properties. This is where the change of senti ment comes from that may ulti mately lead to a complete restora tion of confidence. Stocks of goods iu all parts of the country have run down to such an extent that they have got to be replenished, tariff or no tariff. In a number of branches of trade the demand for goods has recently shown a subsiancial increase, and the distribution of merchandise has widened to such an extent that has surprised not only mer chants, but railway officials. It will be well for all classes to bear in mind the relatively light manufac'ures since the panic of 1893 to the consumption during the same period. The purchasing power of the masses may have been lessened by the low prices f©r all toe products and the downward tendency of wages, bnt the suspen sion of operat on by many facto ries has been complete, and the result is that the demand already exceeds the supply. should there be a prompt ad justment of the tariff question, whether it be a Senate or House bill or a defeat, there is no doubt that business would take on more courage and go ahead on a basis of whatever duties might rule. All they are waiting for is a re moval of the prevailing uncertain ty. Anything is preferable to that, and hence it is argued that what ever the upshot of the deliberations in Congress may be industries will take on new life. Science in this country advances every summer. It is then that the servants of the American Associa tion for the Advancement, of Science get together in one of the big cities and give the tree of knowledge a good shaking down. Ali the year the tree has been blooming and blossoming and get ting bigger and more fruitful. By the summer it is weighted down with a goodly crop of scientific novelties and when the servants have stripped it bare the world is a better world to Jive in. No worm-eaten chestnuts are al lowed to grow in their orchard, but only the golden apple of truth. This year the harvest will be gath ered in Brooklyn, and the harvest ers will be sc many that five build ings will be placed at their dispo sal. \ Their first gathering will Be oa Aug. 15, and there will be sesions daily except Sunday till Aug. 24 .Each department of science will have a room to itself, where papers will be read and discussed by the specialists, Mies Madaline Pollard, the hero ine of one of the greatest legal battles of the century, is to appear under the management of the well known theatrical manager, Nelson Roberts, who was until recently connected with Daniel Forhman, THEY WRANGLE That is They Say They “Were only Caucusing ” BEHIND GUARDED DOORS Whether to Nominate Rhird Party Beliaver-or Whether to make no Nominations and Endorse Seab. The Seventh Congressional district convention for the Third Party, held in Rome today, have had a jolly time “just a cawcusin” Last night “the faithful” closed themselves at the New Courthouse and spent hour after hour in close communication and star chamber enjoyment, There were a “sp.inkling” of delegates from about all of the counties in the bloody Seventh and one by one and two by two they gathered together at the massive oaken door and knocking had it promptly opened unto them. Inside the sacred presincts there and beneath the lectric light and stars of the chamber there was much business going on, the prin ciple part of which was talking with the mouth.” Hour after hour the faithful kept the watch fires blazing and the for eign element of all other political creeds, faith and orders, were kept they on the outside of the outer gates. At somewhere about an hour after the cocks had crewn for mid night the doors were Hung ajar, the faithful door-keeper was relieved and the brethren flocked forth to their respective places of abode. This morning at an early hour, delegates began assembling in front of the Central Hotel, and as the morning grew so did the crowd of £ party politicians, Prominent among them was Mr. McGarrity, of Paulden, who is courting a stroke of party congressional lightening. At 10 o’clock many of the brethren assembled in the Superior court room, but none of the demo crats were allowed to penetrate the sacred shades of the hall. A Hustler of Rome r p >rter asked Mr. John Marion, the door keeper, what was going on inside and Mr. Marion a cawcussing.” This style of politixin contiu ed until nearly 11 ;30 when the door was thrown open and a num ber of democrats and a few third party brethern who did not have the pass w’ord were admitted. Then it was that the convention was called to order and Mr. Bob. Dougherty of Walker, was made permanent chairman ana J. K Davis of Polk permanent secreta ry. After the organization was per fected Maj. Seab Whatley arose and read the description of a stol en mule and requested the dele gates to have an ey) out for the animal and have it returned to its owner in North Rome,etc. Some“funuy” delegate wanted to know* if it was a “third party mule” and a democrat near us an swered iu a gentle way“yes, we think from description of knots wind galls and etc that it is a reg ler “one lung third party mule, boasting no pride ot ancestry or sporting no hope of prosterity ” After Mr. Whatley had read about the “stolen mule’’ the convention took a recess until 1 o'clock sharp, this afternoon. A Hustler of Rome reporter has it from indisputable authority there are two factions in the conven tion and that the division is clear cut and decisive and tnat these protract ed canc asses have been in the nature of secretly closing the gap and weld ing the wings. i The majority are formaking no nom inations at all and letting Seab Wright have the field on his own platform “certain secret The minority are not tied to Seab and do not love independentism. but are Third partyites from princi pie and propose to stan 1 by those principles for conscience sake. SPEAK One is tor ano Other Against Free Silver TENNESEE AND TEXAS Hold Their Gubernatorial Con vention. Tenn., Says she Wants the White Met tal,Tex.Says She’ll Take yellow Nashville Tenn., August 14. Numerous representative demo crate arrived tonight, but the pres ent indications are that there will be an usually slim att endarce at tomorrow ’a state convention. This is due to there being no contest for the gubernatorial nomination. Governor Turney will be renomi uated by acclamation. An import antconference ofleading democrats is being held at the Nicholson to night, and the indications aie that they will reach an agreement on the platform that will prove satis factory to the con ention. The only question liable to provoke lengthy discussion are the silver question and the endorement of the administration. The financial plank will declare for the restoration of silver to the position of which ii has been deprived, Oppose th< {policy of waiting for an agreement with other governments, and declare in favor of the bimetallic standard as it existed before 1873. The aentiment of the delegates here now is to endorse the adminis tration of President Cleveland in general terms and to reiterate the position < f the party. The platform will either endorse in this way or re main sdent as to the national admin istration. Taere mav be resolutions introduced denouncing President Cleveland. The state committee tonight selec ted Congressman -James D. Richard son for temporary chairman, and by a vote of ten to five adopted abolish ing the two-thirds rule in state con ventions, and urging democratic conventions throughout the state to take the same action. Ex-Governor Taylor is spoken of for permanent chairman, OF A DIFFERENT STRIFE. Dallas, Texas, August 14.—At noon today the .democratic state convention was called to order by Chairman Baker, of the executive committee. There were ten thou sand people in the hall four thou sand delegates and six thousand citizens. Judge J. R. Fleming of San An tonio was made permanent chair man. Upon taking the chair Judge Fiem.ng iu slow and meas ured trrms pronounced the demo cracy qf i e <as once mo re united. When he said “We are all now Cleveland democrats,” a mighty shout lasting five minutes and which echoed back from the raf ters of the great building went up Men jumped upon chairs threw their hats aloft and again and again shouted at the mention of Mr. Cleveland’s name and when the chairman announced that a tariff bill had been passed another shout relit the air. After choosing a secretary and sergeant at arms three committees were appointed one upon perma ent organization one upon creden tials and the third upon platform Some of the master minds of the state were placed upon the plat form committee but there is little hope of an agreement. The con vention then adjourned to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Upon reassembling the vener able Judge Reagan candidate . for governor took the stand for two hours. The old man eloquent held the vast audience with all his an cient fire. He was followed by C . A. Culberson. Mr. Lanham and Mr. Call spoke. The committee upon credentials and permanent organization will report at the night session. The committee on platform will not report before to morrow. It will make two reports a majority and a minority splitting up on silver. The firoi ballot will not be taken before tomorrow afternoon.
