EFFECTS OF THE ATLANTA CONVENTION.
Congressman Darwin r. James, of
Brooklyn, arrived here tonight from At
lanta, where he went as a delegate to the
Commercial Convention. Mr.. James is
greatly pleased over the result OF the con-
venti0n, which he says will prove of in
calculable benefit tC the business interests
of the country. He says that the South
is waking up to the necessity of action
upon the silver and bankruptcy questions,
aud that there is q rapidly growing belief
In the south that bankruptcy law should
be enacted, and that the coinage Of stand
ard silver dollars should be suspended.
what results do you expect from the
cOnventionT' he was asked.
~ think" he replied, ''that the effect
will be seen in Congress next winter, and
that the advocates of 4 general bankrupt
law will receive large ereintorcements from
the South. The fact that more than half
the votes in favor OF the resolution declar-
ing that silver coinage should be sus-
pended came from the Southern members
cOnyinces me that the South is willing to
aid in the settlement Of the silver problem,
and believe that bill to suspend the
coinage of the standard silver dollar will
receive many votes from the section which
has heretofore been almost sOlidly against
u.s.
"Will you make anyuse of the proceed
ings of the cOnyentOn?"
The New York Board of Trade, Of
which l am a member, will collect and
print the speeches for circulation in the
South, and think the result will be bene-
fetal"
