court house. Hon. Augustus DUPONT and
S. L. Drawdy were the unanimous choice
az delegates to the Atlanta convention to

President and to the gubernatorial conven-

offered the following resolutions, which
we're unanimously adopted:
We, the unterrified democracy of Clinch
county in convention assembled, do reaffirm
our devotion for faith in and unalterable alleRi-
ance TO the timehonored principles of our his
toric party-principles that are pure and simple,
with no shadow of isms or schisms TO mar the
symmetry Gifts proportiOns-ap artywhose prin-
ciples came in with the century-has outlived a
fratricidal war, with It's terrors of reconstruc-
tion, and given to the south the only political
peace hope and happiness 1t has ever known
With great confidence we can say to the people
of the south under no other tenet of principles,
under no other political faith, by nor under no
other name may they hope for denyerance. We
are the eve of a national political revolu-
fiona revolution in the elimination of
of issues which led up to it, was a contest that
has been waged with an unbroken front to re-
deem pied yes for an honest government eco
nomically administered. We are at the threshold
with division in our ranks, a surrender to the
enemy with victory in our grasp-a victory that
we have all devoutly wished, and for which true
southern manhood has contended for thirty
years. Are we to furl our banners when the
sun burst in its folds? Are to lose the coveted
prize by party chickering's and by divisions that
are winked at by our dreaded toe? What
comfort TO the enemy should our grand old
commonwealth fail of her wonted democratic
majority The disruption is paternalism third
rartyism, republicanism, with its concomitants,
discussions, Inscriptions, destruction to our
loved southland. We recognize In third party
ism the hydra head of republicanism; and
paternalsm the Utopian dream held out TO the
dazzled gaze OF those who have been looking
for something better" Be not deceived, it is
an ignus fatuus that alures but to destroy. We
hold out 20 the third partyites the olive leaf of
tariff reform as their balm of Gilead, and
affirm in the reduction Of the tariff the solution
of the probem-the monetary evils of the day.
Resolved, That the people of Georgia have
iust pride in the administration of the affairs of
their state by Gov. Northen. He brought to
the discharge of his duties governor pro-
found learning and craftsmanship and an
honest and patriotic purpose. He has shown
himself worthy our great esteem and con
6dence, having given the state wise, honest,
Just and businesslike administration We would
be derelict in a sense OF proper appreciation,
did we fail to specially mention his assiduous
efforts in behalf of agriculture and education,
which has crowned his administration, the
ablest and most brilliant in the history of the
state.
ResolUed. That we declare our unbounded con-
1dence in Grover Cleveland, and without quail
nCaJlOn lnuOfSe ana commend MIN as worthy
the support Of our party We regard him the
man of the hour, He gave to democracy their
Trojan of war-tariff reform. We recognize in
him the great exponent of democratic doctrines.
Resolved, We sincerely regret the death of
the attorney general of Georgia, and iudorse
for the place the Hon. J. NJ. Terrell Of Meri-
wether county; for the other state house Off
GERS we indorse the present gentlemen who so
ably fill the respective places.
Res lUed We indorse John c. Mcdonald as
suitable person TO be selected from the Eleventh
congressional district as delegate TO the national
convention, and Clark Howell and j. H. Estill
from the state at large.
Resolved We cordially indorse the candidacy
of Judge J. L. Sweat to the judgeship OF the
Brunswick circuit, and refer with pride to his
record as a lawyer and legislator. We have no
hesitancy in presenting him to the consideration
of the legislature of Georgia.
Resolved, We thank the SAVANNAH MORNING
News for the untring fight it has made for
the principles of true democracy.

lsratons of principles. we emphatically de-
clare for Cleveland, Northen and tariff reform

the Republican party, our common enemy.

embrace every man who deserves good and
honest government, and that it is the only
party that can bring relief to the southern peo-
pie.
l. We may differ as to details, and as to
what are the best measures. but when all these
conflicting opinions have been fairly discussed
and certain platform has been adopted by
the wisdom of the national democracy, we
stand ready to support it, because acquiescence
in the will of the majority, fairly ex-
pressed, is the supreme test of democracy
Therefore,
Resolved. That the unterrified democracy of
the banner county will rally to the support of
democratic principles, and pledge ourselves to
national elections.
Res lUed further, That we favor the enact
nent OF no law which helps one citizen TO the
injury of another but we only Eask equal and
impartial laws, which is indeed a government
OF the people, for the people and by the people.

speech, and warned the people against the
trap laid for them by political schemers,
and showing the wisdom and sense of
standing by the old true and tried democ-
racy. S. L. Moore, Rev. Jasper Will
son, Rev. W. J. Durham, Dr. J. c. White,
G. H. Shockley, Esq, all made fine speeches
in behalf of the party.
The third party yves shown up IN its true
light, and when motion was made that
all the democrats stand up. the great crowd
arose as one man, and great hurrah went
up for democracy.
