BLoUNT ON THE OUTLOOK.
He Sees No Need OF an Extra Session.
The Silver Conference.


The Silver Conference.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5-Representative
Blount Of Georgia, says the StGr, refused to
accept denomination to congress last fall
and al the close Of this session will retire to
private life after a brillianB service In the
House Of Representatives Of twenty years.
Mr.. Blount Is among those who do not ad-
vocate the calling of an extra session.
Speaking on this matter yesterday he said
u cannot see any necessity for
an extra session of the Fifty-third
congress. It hes been we'll said that the
public in electing a new congress eppreci-
eted the fact that they would not meet for a
year. doubt whether the public, which
after all is TO be considered, really wants it.
The Democratic. party has been inrruesed
with the framing OF a new tariff bill. This
in itself is a tremendous task, and she
should not approach 1t In hasty way, or
wi hout full consideration. l believe that
q general tariff bill can be prepared which
will be much more satisfactory than the
Mckinley bill, but after all the entire mat
ter rests with Mr.. Cleveland, and have no
inkling as to what Mr.. Cleveland intends
to do"
Mr.. Blount predicts that nothing will
come of the silver conference and that no
legislation on the silver question is 90 be
expected. he was offered a place on the
monetary conference by President Harrison
and declined. but has watched the matter
with interest and is In touch with the demo-
Gratis on the subject. He says that the
state bank currency must be returned too
and that the next congress will surely re-
peal the 10 per cent. tax. The European
countries will never accept our propositions
for silver coinage, and that our trade with
foreign nations is too large to admit of free
coinage Of silver here without an agree-
menk

ment Of Hon. A. ]. Crovatt judge of Glynn's
court was bulletined on the usual corner
and read with pleasure by large number

resentment among some men, and
when candidate appeared against

fight was made on Judge Crovatt, but it
only resulted in his reappointment. He
has made enemies by his unswerving devo-
ton to his friends, and sticking TO them
through adversely as well as prosperity /.
No young man in the state deserves public
recognition more than he, and the number
Of influential men who fiocked to his sup
port from this and other sections of the
