county in the seventies. He went 10
the national democratic convention Of
1854 as one Of the delegates from the
state at large. He was an earnest ad-
vocate Of Cleveland's nomination for
President at that time, and was vigor-
ously opposed by the strong sentiment
in the Georgia delegation in favor OF
the nomination of Mr. Bayard. He
was emphatic in his belief that good
politics demanded the nomination Of
Cleveland. and before the meeting OF
the convention the handful of Cleve.
land men on the delegation had con-
WINGED the majority of the delegation
of the wisdom of such nomination, and
the vote Of Georgia was so recorded.
After the convention of 1854 Col
Walsh opposed the effort to displace
the tariff plank of the platform of that
convention. and substitute for it the
sweeping tariff reduction policy that
was being urged, and which aftsrward
received the approval of President
Cleveland in his famous message Of
1887. He believed that it was unwise
and impolitic TO precipitate such an
issue upon the country on the eve of
Presidential election and has held
from that day to this. that had the party
manifested more conservatism, Mr.
Cleveland would have been elected rs
his own successor. In the convention
which nominated Colquitt for governor
for a third term Col Walsh led the
Colouitt forces, lacking but few
votes of the necessary two-thirds re.
I ouired to nominate, and the convention
finally adjourned, recommending
Colquitt to the people by the adop-
ton Of Col. Walsh resolution offering
this solution 20 the problem; but Col.
Quit was elected by 4 majority of
/ fifty thousand.

iberality in all Of his views, religious,
political or otherwise He is q man Of

The Kansas City on her last trip this

and the American clipper ship General
Knox sailed along great ice field in
which the lookout counted thirty-two
bergs. These may Of course have been

statements gain in confederation what
they lose in variety.
The State Of Georgia, freight
