ATLANTA, GA.-The Georgia State
Democratic Convention was rs large and
able body as ever assembled in Georgia.
The action was entirely harmonious. The
President. Hon. Albert Lamar, of Mus
cogee, presided. The resolutions are, that
the democratic party of Georgia stand
upon the principles of the Democratic par.
ty Of the Union, brinJng into special
prominence as applicable to the present
extraordinary condition of the country,
the interchangeable doctrine that this union
of States and the indestructibility of
equality with each other is an indispensa-
ble part of our political system.
ResOLUed, That in the approaching elec-
ton the Democratic earty invites every
body to cooperate with them in a Jealous
demonstration to change the present usurp-
ing and corrupt administration by placing
in power men who are true to the pTinci
ples of the Constitutional Government
and faithful and economical administra-
ton of public offices.
ReSOLUCd, That in our opinion the dele
rates to the Baltimore Convention should
20 unmolested by Instructions, and should
act, with all the lights before them, as they
deem best for the good of the party and for
the welfare of the country.
The delegates from the State at large are
Gen. H. i. Benning, Gen. A. r. Wright,
of the Augusta Chronicle, Col. Tom. Har-
deman, Col. Julian Hartridge, Gen. A. II.
Colquitt, Col. G.. 7. Goode, Gen. j. B. Cor
don, and Col. J. w. Avery of the Atlanta
Constitution. All are Conservatives, and
favorable to harmonious action 'at Balti-
more.
TRENTON, n. J., June 26.-The Demo-
cratic Convention met here to-day. Chas.
Haight Greeleyite, was appointed tenn
pOrary chairman.
TRENTON, n. J., June 26.-Gov. Ran
dOlph, on taking the chair in the COnven-
ton, said: ''At this time, when our DEM
Ocratic brethren in the other States seem
to have become touched with the fever Of
political revolution, our action, ordinarily
discreet, temperate and dispasSiOnate, will
be looked to with more than ordinary in
terest. In proportion as the other States
and preferences, we should give sober and
thoughtful utterances. The Baltimore
Convention will be composed of men who
have higher motives than merely to beat
Grant. These motives will be to beat
corrupt and despOtic administration a
Chief Magistrate vino has brought his
worse military habits of thought and ac
ton to the administration of civil affairs.
With GrantiSm broken, we know that no
worst can come and believe that better can
be had. That we shall obtain at Baltimore
all we deem desirable does not now seem
probable. Unless some unexpected reac-
ton occurs, the action of the Convention
Is a fOregone conclusion. Endorsed at Bal
timOre, deem Greeley's election assured.
Defeated there, his chances are unworthy
of attention. 1t is well known that my
Judgment has been against the endorse
ment OF the Cincinnati ticket"
The Governor proceeded to state the pur-
pose of the recent Fifth Avenue confer
ence, he claimed that this conference was
not fiascO, but a success, because it con-
centrated reliable information as to the
weakness or strength of the Cincinnati
ticket in nearly every State, and thus gave
a basis for the decision that no new ticket
could be now named with political advan-
tage. | think a more suitable nomination
and a more acceptable candidate 10 the
have been selected. know that we shall
be charged with placing our lifelong OPP
ponent at the head of our column in the
day OF almost assured victory. This is
true, but it is equally true that Greeley
VIII only take the leadership of the
party that elects him, after he
has pronounced himself to be fully
IN favor of such old fashioned |
Democratic principles as hostility TO CEN
frol ion fC
ference in State and local affairs; condem- |
nation of the suspension of the writ of !
habeaS corpus; full support Of amnesty: |
rigid adherence to civil service reform: on |
position to bayOnet election laws and the |
like. Now, if Greeley can accommodate
himself to such uncomprOmising Demo-
cratic views as these, we can accept his
conversion, even if it be trifle sudden
and unexpected.
In conclusion the Governor said, they
had TO contemplate the almost certain en-
dOrsement of Greeley at Baltimore, and
with it the assured defeat of Grantism,
which would be a great victory of itself, |
because if Greeley had no loftier views, no |
greater intelligence than Grant, he would |
be powerless where Grants power is al. |
most without limit. Greeley would be the |
occupant of high office, but his power to |
abuse it would be jealously guarded by |
both friends and foes
