While it is almost morally certain that
Hon Henry D. Mcdaniel, the Democratic
nominee for Governor, will have walk
oVer on the 24th instant, the day fixed for
the election, the democracy of Georgia
owe to the distinguished gentleman named
for the high trust the splendid Endorsement
that his merits deserve. Below will be
found the address of the Democratic Exe-
cutive Committee, issued in the name of
its Chairman, Captain Henry Jackson,
urging the nece 5sity of prompt action on
the part Of county committees to the end
that full vote be polled:
Rooms STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF

13.-To the Peoplcof Georgia: By yuaan-
imous vote Of the State Democratic Con-
vention, recently held, the Hon. Henry D
Mcdaniel, of the county of Walton, was
presented to you as a candidate in every
way worthy of the highest office within
your gift. The deliberations of the con-
ventio1, continuing through two davs.
We're characterized by exceptional concord
and good fellowship, and it is confidently
hoped that the choice ma lie will be ratified
by you at the polls with entire unanimitv.
In accordance with the proclamation of
the Governor, the election will be held on
Tuesday, the oath day of this month. 1t
| does not appear that there will be an op-
posing candidate, but it is nevertheless

gather the party organization, for we can
not foretell how soon every Democratic
vote may be needed. The object of this
! communication is to urge that the polls be

that as large vote as possible be poled

on all local committees, county and city.
to give this matter their prompt and eaer-

fore the election is 50 short that the respon-
Slbility for efficient work must necessarily

HENRY JACKSON, Chairman.
While it may be urged that there is Nc
need to worry over the election, it shou d be
borne in mind that apathy is to be deplor-
ed at any time when action would be
preferable We trust that the request of
the State Committee will meet with a ready
and ettecti 7e response, ald that the major

attest The hearty approval OF all good citi-

wisdom Of the late convention so happily
brought about Organize and poll every

About the Conference Commit

tee.
HOW II WAS BROUGHT ABOUT AND WHAT 1T
WAS INTENDED TO DO
On Thursday night there was restlessness
on all sides. The general caucuses were
more enthusiastic than ever, but the adyl-
sorry committees felt that the crisis would
come with the morning, and were getting
ready for it,
At an early hour Thursday night Gener
al Phil. Cook ordered that his name be
withdrawn as soon as the convention met
the next day. Mr.. DUPONT Query there
upon announced his determination of pro-
posing committee of conference, consti-
suited as provided by his resolution which
Afterwards passed. 1t was said that prom
iRent members Of the Ba on caucus would
support il; that it would command the
support of the Mcdaniel and Cook men.
and many Of the Boynton men.
The Mcdaniel caucus had adjourned
with great enthusiasm, but Major McDan-
lei himself had determined to Withdraw his
name and had written his letter of with
ARsssa. A member Of the Mcdaniel can.
Gsas had appeared in both the Boynton and
Bacon eaDcuses and had said to each that
majority of the Mcdaniel votes would fol-
low. A committee had been appointed by
each caucus to investigate the matter and
see exactly where the Mcdaniel vote would
go. The Bacon committee reported that
Bacon wonld get 20 votes Of the "a, and
me Boynton committee reported that
Boynton would get 90 votes of the "a.
In the meantime, the Richmond dele
gates was doing some work on it's own ac-
count. This delegation had given Govern
or BoyHton stauch and unwavering SUP
port, but its members believed that the
time had come when a nomination must
be made. Mr.. Walsh, therefore, proffered
resolution calling for committee of
three that would request the two leading
candidates to withdraw in the interest of
harmony.
O. When this proposition was submitted to
tn, Boynton advisory committee it was re-
oeiVed with little favor. The Boynton
Men were for making the fight straight
out Governor Boynton himself in a
speech OF rare patriotism urged bis friends
uotta consider his personal claims for one
moment when the integrity of the party
wa threatened. and Withdrew, leaving his
friends perfectly unsmbarassed Many of
the stronger Boynton men favored Il O
suggestion. 1t was held that if it passe
Governor Boynton would write letter o..
fering to make the sacrifice if the otuer
gentleman named in the resol ltion would
DO the same. If that gentleman refused

party would be restored, and nomination
made
The discussion in the BoyntoR commit
tee lasted until O'clock, when Mr.. Walsh
announced that he intended 10 put the mo
ton on his own responsibility the next
morning, and taking mp his hat started off
to bed. He was detained a few moments
and the discussion renewed, and ended in
the unanimous determination to support it.
In the meantime the advisory committee
of the Mcdaniel caucus had refused by a
vote Of three to one, to agree to it, and
the Cook men were welded to Guery's
idea of a conference committee-so that
morning came with only one caucus COM
mitted to the conference idea, and that one
only after Dir. Walsh had announced his
purpose of offering ii on his own respon-
slbilIty. At O'Clock Mr. Mcdaniel an
uounced to the writer that his name would
not be again halloted for. and General
Cook had already been Withdrawn.

In the closing pages Of ~ Eanity Fair
shere is picture Of Becky Sharp, stand
ing behind curtain, in the attitude of a
fury, listening to conversation between
Joseph Shelly and his bfo:lser-in-law, of
which she is the subject. The picture
made things look bad for Shelly, but no
explanation was made by the novelist of
she outcome or the motive of this new
Clytemnestia. Some one asked Thackeray
what he intended the public to understand
by it, and whether the picture forecasted
the death of Shelley, which occurred short

1--WE thought that very thing over my
self" said Thsckeray, ''and I've come to
the conclusion that don't know !"
To the company of this thing-unknown
and unknowable-must be RENTED the
question
''If the final ballot between Boynton and
Bacon had been called, which would have
received the nomination."
The best opinion on both sides agrees
that there would net have been three votes
difference either way. The best count
made by either side ranged from l76 to
1S0-176 being necessary to elect.
Now in a legislature majority Of two
or three votes is suficient for definite
observation-disclosures in a legislature each
man has one vote, and the same men cast
1t always, and are sworn voters In con-
ventiOn the votes are held in fractions or
in Jumps, and the voters are continually
changing This morning it is delegates,
who vote and tomorrow aternates and the
next day proxies, and the constituents arr
not kxed, and the count cannot be absolute
ly fixed
The last night Of the Boynton caucus the
count Of the advisory committee was 179
votes. The next day it was ascertained
thai two Of the votes would have been lost,
and that two votes counted adversely would
have been gained. What other changes

whether they would have increased or wip
ed out Boynton's majority no one can tell.
Both sides were confident, and yet neither
was assured The Boynton men expected
the issue to come on the next to the last
ballot on Wednesday evening, and were
ready for it. 1t is our opinion that two
votes would have covered the majority of
the winner, and we believe under no cir
cumstances would it have gone as high as
Ave votes for either man.

THE APPOINTMENT oFTRR COMMITTEE-THE
DEBATE AND THE CHANGE OF oPINION.
The opening debate on the Walsh reso-
luton developed opposition iii certain guar
ters where he had expected support but it
also demonstrated that there we're enough
men in the convention who preferred an
outside candidate or who wanted to see the
thing ended at any personal sacrifice, to
vote some sort of conference resolution.
When Mr. Query proposed his plan for
a committee it became evident that it
would pass. The Bacon men voted about
5olidly against it-that is, the men who
preferred Bacon to any one else, and scor-
ed l47 votes. Finding it carried they
changed their votes and made it partially
unanimous. 1t was, of course, understood
that the committee would be uncertain in
its composition, but it was believed that
neither General Cook or Major Mcdaniel
would appoint a majority of Boynton or
Bacon men. This opinion was justified
by the facts Of Major McDaniel's COM
mittee Mr.. Dunlap and Mr.. Livingston
preferred Boynton to Bacon, and Mr..
Ningfeld aui Mr.. Irwin preferred Bacon.
OF General Cooks committee Mr.. Guerry
preferred Boynton and Wills preferred
Bacon, when the issue WAS reduced to
those two candidates. All the Boynton
men preferred Mcdaniel to Bacon, while
at least one and perhaps three of the Bacon
men, preferred Boynton after Bacon, over
any other candidate

Deaths from DIstemper.

During last week eight valuable draught
horses on William NJ. Singerly's sheep
farm, near Spring House, Montgomery
county, died of a choking distemper. The
farm is tenanted by Jackson Sexton. The
animals We're attacked with the malady in
it's most melignant type, and they died
within Il day of each other. They were
valued at from $50 to 5000 each. Two
other horses were similarly affected,
but are now supposed to be out
of danger. Choking distemper is 4
local disease in Montgomery county, the
cause of which has so far batfled the
efforts of veterinary surgeons. A theory
was put forward by Drs. Jones and Land
in the case of Mr.. Singcrly's horses that
the malady originated from the fungus
arising from a mouldy excrescsnce along
the sides of the silO which was opened q
few days ago, but this Mr.. Sirgcrly him
self positively denies. "Before silOs We're
introduced into this country, in fact be-
fore ever heard of them," Mr.. Singerly
said " l lost a pair of mares at my home
farm that woulC have refused $500 for.
That was in 1874. It's all nonsense about
excrescence from opened silos The dis
ease has been known for years in Mont
gomery and Bucks counties as choking
distemper and it was never heard of any
where else. Nobody has ever been able
to ascertain its cause and don't suppose
they ever wilI.'

New York Letter in the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Fashions in dancing present no striking
change since last season. The American
society OF professors of dancing, which
has its headquarters in this city, held its
annua! meeting last week and decided to
recognize no new dances. They voted to
discard the racket from their lessons
and to forbid it altogether in their
academies. Notwithstanding this action
I have seen it indulged in at every ball
which have attended. Its name is slang
one for the better-known Rsdowa- -gallop
step, and originated in the fact that the
music which was at first used for it was
"the Racquet Waltz" 1t is called, in
various sections. the Society,"" the
Newport" tho Ripple and the
Rockaway." 1t is regarded as too
snowy for modest girls to fling themselves
into, and this is why tho professors have
undertaken to place it under taboo.
The round dances which strict propriety
permits this year are the plain waltz and
the redowa. The latter may be varied 6y
what is called the polka Bohemia, q toe
and-heel step that is not theatrical if
quietly and gracefully done. The close
| hugging, sometimes INDUCED in last VIM
ter by couples who ought to have known
better, is now visibly relaxed, and alto
| gether think that dancing is rather freer
| from abuses than before. The square
dances in use at the public balls are the
plain quadrille and the plain and Saratoga
lancers. In the latter the couples form
parallel lines and dance together, the fig
ures and movements remaining similar to
those Of the ordinary lancers. The ger
man is danced still in private assemblages,
but never at largo balls.
A new round dance in some vogue in
parlors is called tho Russo and partakes Of
the character Of the galOp and mazourka
combined. There is also square dance
called tho National Guard, composed of
squares and circles of somewhat military
character. The Polo quadrille, with its
rapid all-hands-round, proved too much
of a circus to please women and has gone
pretty nearly out of fashion. Variations
of the polka are frequently seen and the
old-fashioned Virginia reel is extensively
revived.

The Practitioner

We have upon our table the initial num-
ber of new medical monthly entitled The
Practitioner, and published by DR.. II. b.
Stehman, of this city. The paper contains
eight largo quarto pages, filled with mat
ter that cannot fail 20 be of great value to
the medical profession. The leading
article is an interesting sketch of the life
and medical and surgical practice of DR..
John L. Atlee, of this city, and tho pub
Usher promises to follow it in succeeding
numbers with similar sketches of Drs.
Humes, Muhlenberg, Cassidy, Burrowes
and other eminent practitioners living and
dead. Other articles in the present num-
ber are by DIR. j. L. Zeigler, of Mt. Joy,
DR.. NJ. L. Davis and DR.. S. #. Davis of
this city, together with the transactions of
the Lancaster city and county society,
official statement of tho board of health,
of births and deaths during last quarter, =
description of the Lancaster county
vaccine farm, an official directory of the
medical society, number of valuable
selections, and a fair proportion Of adver-
tisements. The Practitioner starts we'll,

White Rock LyceuN. .

AT it's last meeting this society was
called to order by President G, W. Collins
and a full house was present. Some inter-
esting information was had from a discus
sion of referred questions. by Miss Annie
Barnett, W.B. Paxson, D. F. Magee and
others. The exercises were alternated
with some instrumental music, by the
White Rock orchestra, consisting Of J. X.
Fairlamb, Chas. Flora. Albert King and
Chas. Kuhns. The Herald" was read
by Miss Annie Barnett and contained some
good articles. The question for debate
was, Resolved, "That the use of tobacco
is greater evil than the folly of fashion"
and was discussed by d. F. Magee, and
w. B. Paxson on the affirmative, and neg
atively by G. w. Collins and s. Baker.
The decision was in favor of the negative.
After making preliminary arrangements
for holding an entertainment, the society
adjourned to meet on Friday evening next,
at which time the question of whether or
not wealth adds to happiness will be dis
cussed.
