MILAN NORMAL COLLEGE.

The opening exercises of this institu-
ton were witnessed last Monday morn.
ing by number of the patrons, all of
whom were we'll pleased with the sys-
tematic and orderly manner with
which everything moved of. The
good results of the visits of the teach>
ers among the patrons during the
previous week showed up well, as all
the pupils were graded and ready to
begin work by ten o'clock. Religious
exercises were conducted in the low.
er hall by Rev. j. P. Weaver and
in the upper hall by Rev. r. M.
King. after which regular vsrk was
begun. The large number of pupils
in attendance the first day convinced
Principal Urner that the house was
not large enough to hold them and
do them justice. With characteris>
tic promptness, he made known the
situation to the directors, who se-
cured Odd Fellows Hall, to which
place the primary pupils we're re-
moved on Wednesday, and now it is
thought that there will be ample
room for all who may wish to attend.
Quite a number from adjoining coun-
ties have come in, and are boarding
with our citizens, or keeping house
among them some teachers, who
came to take advantage of the nor
NAL course of study. We believe
the whole faculty is thoroughly com>
petent and experienced, and we have
no doubt that they will give satisfac-
ton. One encouraging feature is,
the children and larger pupils are
charmed with their teachers. If this
good feeling is kept up, the school will
soon become a great power for good
to our community. Let us all en-
courage it in every way. SO that peo-
pie in other counties and states may
point with pride to this great southern
normal college.
Following is the statement of the
number enrolled in each department,
to which will be added many more
during the month: Primary depart
ment, rs; intermediate department,
85; Grammar School, %; High
School, 45; Teachers Course, IL;
Business Course, 8; Scientific Course,
3; total 250.

THE CONVENTION.

Mr.. j. +. Llewellyn asks space to
descent from the last weeks editorial
Of the LEDGER, and it has been cheer
fully accorded to that respected adj
yocate of Free Trade and foreign
competition. At the same time, it
would have been more to the point
il no slur had been cast upon the
democracy, and If what has been
said had been directed to the main
suggestion Of what is criticised. The
Democratic party needs no defence.
1t has not yet been clothed with power
to reform the national government and
will not be able to carry out its views
while : Republican administration
controls the country. What the
LEDGER said was: "The really i'm
portant matter Of the hour, is to fur
nish voters with a candidate for the
Presidency, whose personal charac-
ter and sentiments command univer-
sal respect. At this time, such a
candidate is an indispensable Demo-
cratic factor. Without such an one
to support, it will be impossible for
voters to attain what they evidently
ardently desire. At present a plat
form is Of secondary consideration.
1t will be far better for those that
wish to get from under Republican
rule, to go into the coming presiden-
tial contest with such q candidate,
than upon q platform that shall fail
TO command universal assent"
In antagonizing such sentiments, it
is difficult to understand what Mr..
Llewellyn wants, unless it be q de-
eidedly Free Trade platform as
more conducive to democratic sue
cess than an acceptable nominee and
reliance on the traditions and past
platforms OF the party. II that be
the case, and il such views are entel-
tanned by the convention, the LEDGER
agrees With Mr.. Llewellyn in the SEN
tment, that such a departure from
democratic tradition should be an
nounced in no uncertain words. II,
on the contrary, the convention shall
feel called upon to r~eiterate the
former d~eliverances Of the party, the
LEDGER hopes it will denounce all
taxation Of what ever kind and na-
ture, not absolutely necessary to sus-
tain Government, as inexpedient and
unconstitutional and thus strike q
blow at both the internal Revenue
system aud an injudicious tariff.
