SILVER In GEORGIA.
Senator Morgan Addresses an
Enthusiastic Convention.
MEMPHIS PLATFORM ADOPTED.
Instead OF Denouncing the Cleveland
Administration the Delegates De-
eide to Ignore II.

Grffin, Ca. July lS-The principal event
OF TIE Georgia free silver convention held
here today was the speech OF Senator Nor
gan OF Alabama He said he came to the
meeting in Democratic harness and by
authority OF a settled creed, 10 advocate
Democratic principles as old and as sound
as the great national party. Sherman's
law Of 1873 was such deathblow 10 silver
as a money metal that IL seemed marvel
Gus that silver had enough life left to take
UP IT'S bed and walk. but. he said. It's NOV
ing TO the front with uplifted head and
vigorous step, again in union IL not fully
in harmony with gold. and the parade is so
inspiring that even Great Britain Is keep
ing step to the music of the union.
OF Secretary Carlisle, the senator said.
he Wac not chosen a cabinet officer until
he changed front on the silver question.
His conversion was not like that OF Paul.
who espoused error. was made blind, then
saw the truth and embraced II, but like
that of Aaron. who saw the truth, became
blind to II. and espoused darkness. Egypt
was typified in the golden CALI
Morgan said the recent contract for the
sale OF bonds was without precedent Or
justification. Morgan combatted what he
termed the false issue invented by Sher-
man and adopted by Cleveland, that 1t is
the duty of the government TO preserve
ing their coinage to meet the fluctuations
in the commercial value of the 500. 900 600
gold reserve" He said: 1T Is this sort of
jackpot put up by Sherman that has kept
up gambling in our money. 1t was never
needed to give strength TO the United
States The country that paid in debts
and interest more than 5000, o0000o in
thirtyyears could not now support $4,000
600 deposited in the treasury to support its
credit"
Al the conclusion Of Senator Morgans
speech, the convention took a recess until
O'Clock when il reconvened. Evan L.
Howell, chairman of the committee on res
buttons, read the platform. which was
identical with that adopted by the recent
free silver convention in Memphis.
J. F. Mcbride offered a resolution de-
claring that the act OF 1878. "surreptstiously
passed al midnight" was crime, and had
created more suffering 10 the human fam
lily than all the wars and peStilenceS since
the foundation of the world. The resolu-
dion concluded with the denunciation of
the present administration for having de
serted the Democratic platform" Wild
applause followed the reading of the reso-
luton, but some discussion arose, as IT
was thought best by some to ignore the
the resolution was tabled, as II had not
been to the resolutions committee.
The convention ended with speeches by
Congressman Livingston. Clark Howell
and others.
