The Georgia democratic convention met
at Atlanta Yesterday and nominated w. J.
Northen for Governor and full State tick
ct. The convention, which promised 10 be
lively ia several particu ars, proved rather
tame outside of the contests over the attor-
ney generalship and agricultural commits
sionship. With these Two exceptions, tho
nominations were by reclamation, and there
was no contest over the platform.
Great excitement prevailed at Chattanoo.
%. Tenn, last Dight, on account of the re-
suit of the election of county officers. The
county, which gives ordinarily about l. 600
republican ms ,rity. yesterday elected the
entire democratic ticket by ma orities reach
ing az high az 500. The change was brought
about by the new registration law and the
Australian system of ballot. Quite so par
cent. of the negro vote was lost by the re-
pubicans 10 consequence of these laws. The
election was very quiet. This is the first
time since the war that the entire demo-
cratic ticket was elected in that county.
Reports from all psrls of the State indicate
quiet election for county officers, with q
small vote polled.

"Ths lottery company receives snnusl.v

ton when We denounce these schemes as
fraudulent. This company offers to dis;tit
ute less than SO per cent In prizes. No su.
thorizad lottery on earth that we know Of.
outside of Mexico, Is allowed to distribute
less than 20 par ceEt. The chance to win
prize OF any sort in one of these drawings Is
about one in thirty, whereas, if it we're al
honest lottery, it would be at least one in

The League recommends the adoption OF

doesn't pass he will take no part in the next
campaign, it IL almost certain that strong
effort will be made to adopt the rule referred
to. The result of that effort will show the

NOTHING AFFORDS better illustration
OF the effects of crank legislation than the
recent barbarous suffering inflicted In the
name of law upon criminal in New York.
Some cranks imagined that hanging was TOO
painful forcod FLOODED murderers to bear.
and to relieve them otsuch suffering devised q
scheme for easing them off by means of an
electric shock. The legislature of New
York, In order to please the cranks referred
to, enacted that scheme into law. which,
when it went into effect, shocked every sensi-
tive man In the country. even newspaper
reporters. But when notorious cranks In
fiaerce the legislation of Congress, it Is not
strange that they should be potential with

IN HIS speech on the tariff bill In the
Senate yesterday, Mr.. Vest alluded to the
fact that sugar, rice and cotton, the three
products In which the negroes OF the coun-
try have the most interest. were legislateo
against In the bill. But that, he said, was
essily accounted for by the fact that the
negroes contributed nothing but their vote
to the republican party" Ofall the people
In the country those most pillaged by the
tariff are the negroes. 1t protects nothing
that they make and does not add one cent
to the wages they receive, but 1t does add so
per cent. to the price OF almost everything
they have to buy. But, II it added twice as
much, they are either 30 prejIdiced or so
densely blind to their own interests, that
they would continue to vote the republican
ticket az regularly as the elections come.

him effectively, and then shouted at the

cents
Mr. Grant pointed imperiously to the

TO Weaken PaternaI Authority.

said: The home is the greatest univer-
Slty IN the world. and to Its wise and re-
hglouS education We owe more than to
any educating iniuepcc, the scholars and
patriots and benefactorS of our race.
Tins we believe to be a true statement of
the value of home and home influence:
and whatever evils may exist touching
the education of certain classes OF
our citizens, those evils cannot bv any
possibility Justify the subversion of the
homes, ana home control of children,
which serve to hay the foundation for all
that Is best and hoheSt in our lives and
our country
The tendency of this bill, if enforced.
Will be to weaken parental authority over
the children, and divide responsibility he
tween the parents and the state authoii-
ties for their education. 1t is in the line
OF the most vicious class of legislation
with which we are attlCted-that of state
which the state Of right ought not 10 IN
terfere. However parental the govern
ment may be, in this field it should keep
It's hands off. Whatever may be Slid nm
faN or OF enforced education of those whose
education is entirely and grossly neglected
nothing can justify the public scrutiny
and control of family education rs con-
templated by this act
I'VE therefore submit the following:
Resolved, That the Union league club
deems this bill in the particulars men
toned in this report menaclug invasion
of the sacred rights of the family, in the
matter of the education of children, and
we request the members of the legislature
so to vote as to defeat the passage of the
