HE MADE A MISTAKE.

When a delegate to the Georgia silver convention arose and dared inquire as to whether or not the said convention was one of Democrats he was vocifer- ously hissed, and there were loud cries of put him out" Just as might have been expected; and nothing more than the thoughtless fellow deserved. It was fully understood that the Georgia silver con- vention was called for political effect; that it's object was to pronounce war against the Democratic administration to raise the red flag of opposition to the powers that be, and to arraign voters of every kind and condition against the party in power. Populists were not ex- cluded, for the principles enuneiated are Populistic in their tendency, and without the Populists votes the 16 to 1 party in Georgia. as in Alabama and other South ern States. could make no headway against organized Democracy.
 The trouble with the Democratic del- egate was that he seated himself in the wrong pew. He should have studied the situation more thoroughly before accept ing the appointment to attend that con- vention for then his eyes might have been opened in time to save himself from the modification of being told publicly that the free silver folks had no time to consider the question of party fealty but were after votes.
 The delegates name was Gardner, and he was from the county of Pike. MT. Gardner observed, after reaching the convention hall, that every delegate ex- cept himself from the county of Pike was a Populist, and he very naturally de- sired to know "where he was at" Wheis he offered his resolutions declaring fealty to the Democratic party he was very for cibly reminded that he must keep still. and the overwhelming majority that hissed him down, drowning out his Dem- ocracy was a most forceful demonstra- tion of the fact that the Georgia silver convention, called together by the Allan ta Constitution and managed by its edi- tor, was composed largely of Georgia Populists-in fact, they were in the ma jority.
 Mir. Gardner retired a wiser man. and perhaps a still stronger and better Dem ocrat, for the truth was made plain to him that the 16 to 1 free silver contingent who for years have worn the livery of Democracy-are fast drifting away, and there is danger of their being swallowed up by the Populists. It is so in Georgia it is so in Alabama.

soUTHERNERs IN NEW YORK

There is a large colony of Southern men in New York and many of them are dominating spirits in the commercial and social life of the metropolis. One of the most successful of the Southern men in New York is R. T. Wilson. He has amassed very large fortune, but it is chiefly for his social success and that of his family that he is noted. He went to New York and rose to the top without the aid of social friends or family influ- ence. He is a native Tennessean and during the last years of the war he owned and operated a grist mill on the Tennes- see river at Loudon in the eastern sec ton of the State. He lived in a little red brick house, which can now be seen from the railroad, which has been constructed since he moved to New York. His for mer friends and associates in East Ten nessee often refer to "Dick" Wilson's re- markable success, and always with pride
 for they share the reflected glory of his position: and when an East Tennessean goes to New York MT. Wilson always inquires affectionately about Buck Lat timore, Colonel Lenoir and Squire Year wood. MT. Wilson made his first money

is the time TO consider whether we are
prepared TO Withstand the dangers to

coming season Even perfectly healthy
people feel the change from summer heat

There is malaria in the atmosphere and
few people can escape its enervating ef-
something Is needed TO quicken the pulse,
drive out the germs OF disease, restore
the Jaded faculties and promote the gem
eral health. For this purpose nothing
has ever equalled Duffy's Pure Malt
WhlskeY, which is endorsed and rec
commended by the best physicians in the
land. Thousands of men and women
who owe their health and strength TO
this splendid preparation have testified
to its remarkable effects. Among the
number Is Mrs. Nary West $50 Edmond
avenue, Buffalo, N Y, who says: Il
have been using Duffy's Pure Malt
Whisky for a long time. 1t has done me
so much good, giving me increased ap-
petite which 1 lost through severe sick
ness"
Such outspoken testimony as this
speaks for itself. 1t proves that Duffy S
Pure Malt answers in every way the
description of a perfectly reliable, health
giving stimulant. This is why It is 80 I'M
wherever ii has been introduced. For
this reason insist on getting Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey when you ask for il and

suade you to take an inferior imitation
which is claimed to be very much like
it, or something just as good" There
is nothing that can take its place.

The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall street.
New York, Oct. 12.-In Wall street. tho
speculative interest still hangs fire. .
There is hesitation and postponement.
though in no sense positive distrust. The
spirit Of speculation and investment alike
is conservative and cautious, and those
who have made large profits upon the adj
vance Of the last few months are not dis
posed to risk them recklessly upon new
ventures. There is a feeling that the not
remote future has better conditions in
store; but between the present and then
there are contingencies which are re-
garded as possibly involving sharp tests
Of the strength of the market Chief
among those uncertainties are the course
of the gold movement after the opening
Of the new year, and the extremely sen
sitive state of speculation on the foreign
bourses. The former of these uncertain
ties is viewed hopefully, or at least as
being so far in the future as to warrant
no acute misgivings at the moment. The
