seemed to disappear. Lynch made good
impression by his quiet, modest demeanor.

Major Mckinley, Chairman OF the Com
mittee on Resolutions, said tonight that
1t was too early to indicate the points of
the platform, but that he intended to
make an effort to have reasonable tariff
plank inserted in the resolutions,
and would probably be success
ful: The committee also received
ana heards 3 the statements of
delegation of the Knights of Labor
ana kindred organizations. They profess
TO represent one million workmen. The
principles for which they asked reeogni-
tIoh were the enforcement of the S-hOur
law, the right of labor to organize in the
same manner as capital does, the enforce
ment OF compulsory education and the
prevention of the importation of contract
labor.
UNITING AGAINST BLAINE.
The leaders of the Edmunds movement
held consultation in the rooms of George
William Curtis tonight, and in view that
they held the balance of power, they de-
clded to keep up the fight till either
sufhclent number of votes came their way
to decide the contest in his favor
or else to give their strength to some one
OF their liking. Some of the Edmunds
men afterwards held a consultation with
the Arthur people, and the bond between
the two appears to be binding enough to
cause them to Join hands as against the
Blaine people. The Wisconsin people
consulted and the name of Gen. Sherman
was considered as one which they might,
at the proper time, spring on the cOnven-
tion.
WORK OF THE COMMITTEES.
The Committee ON Credentials had only
considered the Alabama contested case
up to midnight, and appeared to be in for
a full nights session. Some hopeful dele
gates affect to believe that the ballOting
for President will be reached by to-
morrow evening.
The Committee on Organization was in
session till late hour tonight. After
electing Geo. B. Williams, of Indiana,
Chairman Of the committee, the commit
tee proceeded to the election Of the Penn
sylyania Chairman and Secretary of the
convention. Hon. Galusha A. Grow, of
Pennsylvania, was pat in nomination by
the friends of Blaine, and j. NJ. Hender-
son, OF Missouri, by the opposition. Mr..
Henderson was elected by vote of 20 to
II. Charles w. Elisbee, Of Michigan, was
elected Secretary.

of Norman & Weed, architects, of this
city, died this morning, at. Z 80 O'Clock, at
his residence, on jackson street. He was
at one time President of the Gate City

the ravages of consumption he has been

Mexico. Recently he returned to
Asheville and spent a short while
in that city, but came back
to Atlanta about ten days go. He was a
man of many noble traits of character.

Archibald Orme's condition is consid-

being much slower. The wound was
probed to-day, but the bullet was not
found. The attending physicians cannot
definitely locate it, but think that it is
resting on the brain. The indication at
late hour is that the end is approaching.

satisfied, in my own mind, that when we go
before the people our action will be ratified,
because the great heart of the American DeO-
pie will never consent to have a political
party gain the ascendency in this government
