The Cleveland Vote in Georgia.

ATLANTA, GA, April 29.-Cleyeland will carry the Georgia State Conven- ton without dissenting vote, and the delegates selected for St. Louis will bear unanimous instructions to make Cleveland's s late message the platform upon which the contest is to be waged. The Constitution made a vigorous on- slaught on the message when it was read in Congress, while at the same time advocating the renomination of Cleveland. In every county in the State the indorsement, not only of Cleveland delegates, but of Cleveland s tariff sentiments as well. was insisted on Up to this time twenty-one coun- ties have acted and but one has called for the repeal of the internal revenue law. The balance of the 137 counties will select delegates on Tuesday, when the Cleveland idea will have an unap- peased indorsement. The Constitution withdraws it's fight on the tariff for the present and announces that it will bat tie for the success of the party from now on, but at more convenient sea- son will resume the discussion, An other question is also settled, and that is that Colquitt's return to the United States Senate will be unopposed.
