TEE MICRO DEMOCRATS.

The Convention Endorses Cleveland
and His Administration.
The state negro democratic convention
met according TO appointment yesterday
morning at Union hall, on East Boundary
street. About fifty delegates were present
from over the state. Atlanta, Griffin,
Barnesville, Forsyth. Tennille, Wadley,
Milen, Waycross and Savannah having
representatives present.
The meeting organized with the election
OF 8. W. West Of Savannah as president. J
West, secretary, and William Clark, treas
urer. Resolutions were passed express
ing the adherence Of the meeting
to the democratic policy Of indorsing Cleve-
lands tariff reform. It was decided 10 hold
another meeting at GAINESVILLE Feb. 81 to
further complete organization. About the
only otner business transacted was the In
dorsement of Rev. A. A. Mathis of Savan-
nah for the position of minister to Hayti
and requesting his appointment by Mr.
Cleveland when he enters upon the duties
OF his administration. The -.leeting decided
TO adopt every means in its power for the
spread Of democratic doctrine among the
oolored population OF the state.
Rev. Mathis is making an active canvass
for Endorsements for the position of minis
ter to Hayti. He says he has the indorsel
ments of a number Of prominent citizens of
Savannah, including Congressman Lester,
besides Inducements from Gov. Northen,
Senators Gordon and ColQuitt, and other
men prominent in official life. II indorse-
msnts amount to anything he will make
a strong showing for the office.
Mathis is very shrewd negro. He says
he is an original democrat, and advances
some pretty good arguments why the negro
should be democrat rather than q repub-
hcau. He says the office of minister to
Hayti has twice been held by q negro, both
appointments being from the northern
states, and he thinks it proper now that the
position should be given to southern

The Louisiana Mails Nothing to Do

The Washington dispatch in yesterdays
MORNING News to the effect that the At
lantic Coast Line had failed to bid for the
Louisiana mails and that hereafter they
would go via Atlanta from Washington
instead of via Charleston, Savannah and

The Atlantic Coast Line has not put in a
bid for the Louisiana mails for many years
and 1t is long time ago since they were
transported via Charleston, Savannah and
Tampa. The postoifice department. always
forwards the fast mail by the most expedi-
tious route, and as that by way of Atlanta.

cidedly the shortest, the mails have been

Steamship Association, in a recent inter

local freight and passenger traffic also

Most Of the roads are in
the hands OF receivers. The competition by

strong. The fixing Of rates arbitrarily low
by state railroad commissions has added to
our burdens. The roads are, in fact. in a

ally to pull through. Our earnings are
small per mile, some roads rating as low as
$500 to $1,000. The Pennsylvania's gross
earnings per mile are $27 900 and net from
