False Teachings to the Co'ored People in
Lee Ccurty.

A few days ego the funeral ser-
mon of a negro woman was pre-; CT
cd at the colored moetiag house,
near the Atkinson place, in Lee
county, Ga, nine niles from "
bany. The church was crowded,
the congregation blocking mp tie
doors, many of them not beng ale
to enter. The first colored preach
err to give an address was nrmed
Adanas. He had fcen studying
"Buyan's Pilgrims Progress, and
his sermon was in reality a lecture
upon that work, Fe had gained
many pretty noiots from lis Lovely
imagery. His address fell upon
dull ears.
Then followed an INNER. e Y
popular preacher amcnr lis &c
known by them as Nose Phillips
the great reviyalist. He conmcuc,
ed Ivy stating that the deceased had
joined the church, but had become
wicked; had cursed and danced and
led & wicked life. Out" sad he,
"she committed no sin. A person
who once joins the church can com
" nit no sin. Christ commits tie
sin, and not Ter. She is in Chris
and he in her"
Before lie finished he had every
darkey in the house shon' Nc at
the top Of his voice and flied viii
the enthusiasm.
Horace Turner another coloreC
eXherter, followed in the SAINT
strain. "V hen she hlaspl emcd,
said he, cor committed an other sin

her. When Christ's blood toucuet
the heart all sin is over"
Another, called by his paopl,

ments. "IfI steal, v said he, cane

President Cleveland in his first message to
the present congress, and to the policy recon-
mended by him for the practical application
of these principles to the administration of
government we give our unqualified and uni
versal support" Referred to the committee
on resolutions.
John c.. Webber, of Alabama, next sub
mitted the report on credentials the reading
of which was waived, except so much as re-
lated to the seating of the Church delegation.
1t also reported that it had no official infor-
nation of an Alaska delegation, but Mr..
Webb corrected this, and the report was
adopted, Arthur H. Delaney and A. H. Ran
ming being seated from Alaska. Next the
report of the committee on rules and per-
manent organization was called for, and ex-
Attorney Lewis Cassidy, of Philadelphia, re-
ceived round of applause when he took the
platform. 1t recommended that the conven-
tion she uld adopt the same rules and order of
business that prevailed at the Chicago con-
vention of 1884, with the modification that
no delegation shall be permitted to change
its vote until after the call of states and ter
ritories has been completed. For permanent
officers the following names were submitted
Chairman, Hon. Patrick A. Collins, of
Massachusetts,; secretary, Ii. II. Ingersoll, of
Tennessee; assistant secretaries, Alfred Oren-
dorff, of Illinois; T. E. Barrett, of Missouri;
w. w. Scott, of Virginia: o. M. Hall, of
Minnesota; Leopold Struss, of Alabama; l..
g. Rowley, of Michigan; John Triplett, of
Georgia; T. j. Lingle, of Missouri; o. New.
ell, of Colorado; Il. l.. Merrill, of Nebraska;
chief reading secretary, Hon. Thomas Pet
tit; sergeant-at-arms, r. j. Bright; chief
doorkeeper, Daniel Able, of st. Louis. There
was no opposition to the adoption of the re-
port, and the temporary chairman selected
Hon. w. H. Barnum, of Connecticut; Ros-
well p. Flower, of New York, and John o.
Day, Of Missouri, to escort Mr.. Collins to the
chair. His presence upon the platform was
the signal for long and continued applause,

plause that credentials had been handed In

territory had sought admittance to

should be strictly enforced; that American
states should be protected from European
encroachment, even by force if necessary
and that the closest commercial and political
relation should be maintained with the Mex
ican, Central American and South American
states. Referred to the committee on resolu.
tions.
Then Stephen Mallory. of Florida, took the
floor and submitted resolution, the first line
of which was greeted with prolonged ap.
plause which vas renewed at the close. Mr..
Mallory's resolution sets forth that this "con-
vention approves of and hereby endorses the

cured the passage of a resolution upon which
all further resolutions should go tspthe com.
mittee without reading. But it happened
that Delegate Timothy j. Campbell, of New
York, had in his hand resolution express
ing sympathy with Gen. Sheridan in his ill.
ness and without stating its purport, asked
unanimous consent for its consideration. A
storm of objections were raised from all
parts of tho hall, and it was not until Mr.
Campbell had stated that the resolution in
no way referred to the platform, that OBJ
lection was withdrawn and he was allowed
to proceed. There was applause when its
nature became apparent, and it was adopted
by rising vote, all the delegates as we'll as
majority Of the visitors getting upon their
feet.
The representative of the women of the
country was now presented. She proved to
be Mrs. Eliza Meriweather, of st. Louis, who
took prominent part in the Prohibition con-
vention at Indianapolis. So much confusion
prevailed that she could not be heard beyond
the platform and before she was half through
with her written address, cries of "time" COM
PEELED her to come to an abrupt conclusion.
She retired from the platform with great
disappointment and chagrin.
Mr.. Barnum, of Connecticut, moved that
when the convention adjourned it should be
until ~ o'clock Thursday morning. This was
amended to 8 p. m. Wednesday. Renewed
confusion prevailed and in the midst Of the
uproar Delegate Hensel, of Pennsylvania,
moved that the convention proceed to the
nomination of candidates for the presidency
and vice presidency, but that no ballots be
taken until the committee on platform had
reported Brown, of Ohio, asked that the
latter clause be stricken out but by ma
jority vote the convention refused to adjourn
and adopted oHensels resolution The clerk
commenced to call the roll and a
ballot was called for. The chairman of the
delegation responded that they rendered the
first place on the call and the right to speak
to New York. This brought out great cheer
ing, which was renewed when Daniel Dough-
erty was named as the first orator to present
the name of Grover Cleveland When this
talented acquisition from Tammany ap-
peared upon the platform to the right of the
chair, the enthusiasm of the vast audience
knew no bounds Even this outburst, how
ever, was put in the shade by the
storm that met his first mention of the
presidents name and his declaration that
New York pledged him her electoral vote.

warm welcome, moved that the roll of states

that the hall be left open during the recess

This latter proposition evoked lively de-

there was so much confusion that the chair
broke his gavel in obtaining order. Roswell

Another lull ensued, during which the

the strains Of "God Save America" were re-

next fifteen minutes the delegates came in
pretty rapidly but nevertheless at 12 o'clock,
when the convention should have been called

Mississippi, New York and Illinois delega-

tho enthusiasm even causing the hard, stern
lines in Col. Morrison's face to relax.
While the different delegations were
being seated Cleveland roses were distrib-

wanted red bandana could have one for
the asking. The Californians hoisted theirs
OH their banner, the Kansas people following

the Indianans hoisted a white hat for Gray.
There were moro cheers when the bandana

Iowa fell into line. The Californians called
for three cheers for Iowa, and they got It
