The Admission Hot Blast thinks the poll
tics of Georgia presents pitiable spectacle
The protectionists have been knocked out,
land now" says the Hot Blast, "the poor
Georgia free traders are bowling in the fear
that Colquitt may be knitted by his own
party" The above is interesting chiefly for
the errors it contains. The tariff reformers
in Georgia are not free traders; Senator
Colquitts friends, so far as is known in this
State, are not uneasy about him; Georgia
politics runs pretty smoothly, the party
being almost a unit on the leading questions
of the day, and the handful of protection
lists, seeing their mistake, will probably fall
into line after awhile.

Congressman Matson's modest demand for a

elements of strength in it from the high tariff
standpoint. Why not please the high tariff
people by putting up the taxes t. a still higher

everybody pension? At any rate, that would
be better than locking the money up uselessly

A Plan to Prevent Overfiows.

Major Powell, of the United States Geo
! logical Bureau, has plan for preventing
| overfiows along the Mississippi and Missouri
! rivers, and to put it into operation he wants
| Congress to appropriate at once $3.50, 600.
The present overflow of the Sny bottoms
along the Mississippi which has ruined the
| crops on a stretch fifty miles long by five
wide, of as rich land as there is in the
world, emphasizes the Importance of the
matter to which Major Powell now directs
his attention, and, if his plan is practicable,
the appropriation he asks for ought to be
made without hesitation
He proposes to dam up, from Canada to
Mexico, the canons of the Rocky Mountains,
in which are the fountain heads of the
tributaries of the two rivers named, thus
forming vast reservoirs, or storehouses
holding the water which forms the floods
Not only will the overflow be prevented,
but vast quantity of arid land will be re-
claimed by means of irrigation. The water
stored away in the reservoirs will be util-
lied for that purpose by letting it out upon
the arid land through irrigati canals. 1t
is thought that between the summit of the
Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi and
Missouri rivers $50, 900 square miles of land
can be made fertile.
The experiment of retaining land by
outstanding water has been tried often, and
with success, and there is some reason for
thinking that Maj. Powell's plan might be
successful. 1t would require many times
$25O,0O0 however, to try it,and some pretty
big lakes would be formed about the sources
of the rivers.

Figures for the Chicago Convention.
Delegates to Chicago have been chosen
from all the States except North Carolina.
1t is, therefore, in order to figure upon the
result of the first ballot and upon the final
result. The Philadelphia Press, a leading
and well informed Republican journal
prints table purporting to show the pref
erences OF the delegates, and according to
it, dividing the delegation from North Caro-
lima equally between Mr.. Blaine and Sena-
tor Sherman, no candidate has enough
votes assured to him to be nominated on the
first ballot. Mr.. Blaine, however, leads all
the others, having 377, only "a short
Of the lucky number. This estimate, how
ever, may be modified by circumstances: .
for instance, if Mr.. Blaine Should be ac-
tually voted for, he would get not less than
40 votes from Pennsylvania, while in the
table he is given only %. There are also a
number of delegates in other States, whose
real choice is Mr.. Blaine, and who will
speedily drop local candidates and vote for
him if his name is brought forward. The
dispatches stated the other day that
he had again said his name would
not be presented, but it will be
noticed as very significant that he gave
an evasive answer when asked whether
or not he would accept if nominated. This
will be taken by his friends as an indication
that he would not Decline and there is no
reasonable doubt that he will be voted for
and nominated, whether his name is for
mally put before the convention or not. It
is not improbable that he will be nominated
on the first ballot.
The Press table gives Senator Sherman
226 votes, most of which will be cast by
Southern delegates; Judge Gresham "A, as
follows Illinois A, Minnesota Z, Missouri
IA, Oregon 2, Pennsylvania 5, and Ari-
IONA 2; Senator Allison 81. from
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska; Ex-senator
Harrison 30 from Indiana; Ex-Gov Alger
the 26 votes of Michigan; Gov. Rusk the %
of Wisconsin; Congressman Phelps Is from
New Jersey-which. by the way, are Writ
ually Blaine votes, and Mr.. Chauncey M.
Depew, 10 from New York. Four of the
Kansas delegates are for Senator Ingalls,,
while one delegate from Massachusetts, will
vote for ex-Secretary Lincoln. Very prob
ably the Press table is as correct as any
that will be printed.

Their Mistake.

There are few protection Democrats in
this State, and some of them think that the
late State Convention was not controlled
/ by wise heads and experienced hands. ="
They wish II understood that they think the
convention pursued harsh and proscrip-
tive policy.
This sort Of talk is. of course, the result of
disappointment. Some of those who have
been accustomed TO manage conventions in
this State were not consulted relative to the
policy Of the late convention, and they are
little sore about it. But WHY should they
have been conSulteda They represented no
opposition that could be properly called
minority, aud were not in full accord
with the sentiment of the convention upon
the matters which came before it. The con
Ventlon had no occasion to consult any
body 1t had its instructions from the peo-
pie OF about every county in the State. The
instructions were to indorse Mr.. Cleveland
for denomination and to approve his tariff
policy, There was no objection to these
instructions in the convention, and, as far
as the convention was able to judge, no op-
position to them outside of it of sufficient
Importance to deserve to be noticed.
The convention Endorsed Mr.. Cleveland
and his tariff policy, and appointed dele
gates TO the national convention in harmony
with its action. Did it not do exactly what
it ought to have donel Would it not have
acted unwisely, and even foolishly, if it had
selected some Of the delegates from among
the few who were known not to be in full
sympathy with its actiona
This talk that the convention adopted a
proscriptive policy and that it ought to
have compromised with the minority is
all nonsense. What evidence is there that
there was or is any minority that does not
approve Of the action of the convention. And
if there were no such minority the conven-
ton could not have adopted proscriptive
policy. 1t would be well to locate the mi
nority before reiterating the charge that
the policy of the convention was
harsh and proscriptive, or before insisting
further that there ought to have been a
compromise. Is it not strange that men
should continue to insist that the convention
Numbered because they were not consulted
or selected to 60 to st. Louis. although the
people indicated very closely that their
services were not wantedl And is it not
still more strange that they should take the
failure Of the convention, with which they
were not in sympathy, to consult and honor
them so much to heartl Their mistake was in
not putting themselves in line with the peo-
pie. They opposed the people, and they ought
not to whine and complain because the
people ignored them

tomorrow will say: "The President
takes the result calmly and philoso-
phically. He talked quite freely
about the returns and the increased
Republican vote, but expressed not
the slightest regret in the world at
any action he had taken during his
administration. He is willing to adj
nit his position on the tariff and the
decided stand he took in favor Ofrev-
enue reduction may have lost him a
good many votes, but he still main
tains that if it were to be done over
again he would follow the dictates OF
his conscience.
"The President received no tele'
grams from the National Democratic
Committee until late in the afternoon
From what he has heard, however
he conceded that he is defeated. He
attributes his defeat to no one in par
ticular, and said that Hill and Tam
many Hall treated him with perfect
fairness and that he has no fault t.
