The feature of the convention was
the strong Roosevelt sentiment. Con-
gresham Long, one of the leaders of
the fight in the House for Cuban reci-
procity, made a speech in which he
said:
THE Cuban reciprocity bill has
passed the House and it will pass
the Senate or there will be an extra

extra session my friends in the Fifth
district must prepare to take care of
my campaign, for we will stay there
until it has passed, and President

was with him all the time, and 1
think he will know it as we do now.
Roosevelt is right now, and he always
was right. He is right because God
made him So"
Senatar Burton, who until recently
opposed the Presidents reciprocity
policy. told the convention that re-
ciprocity with Cuba was right and
necessary, but no home industry
should be injured. bill is now be-
ing formulated as a substitute for the
House bill, he said, which substitute
would be satisfactory to all interests.
Cuban Reciprocity Favored.
The platform declares for reciprocal
trade relations with Cuba and for con-
struction of the isthmian canal and
strongly indorses the administration.

NO GEORGIANS FOR SEA GIRT.
Special Invitation by New Jerseys
Governor to Gov. Gambler Turned
Down at Instance of Col. Cam, In
spector of Rifle Practice.

Atlanta. May 2S.-Georgia will not be
represented at Sea Girt this year, de-
spite the invitation of the Governor of
New Jersey to Gov. Gambler. The in
vitation was this morning declined by
the Governor, on recommendation of
Inspector of Rifle Practice George T.
Cam of Savannah, to whom the mat
ter was referred several days ago. The
Geo-gians who had won the Hilton
trophy time and time again, until the
year 1899, We're not treated fairly on
the range that year, and since that
time the invitations to participate in the
Sea Girt shoots have been declined
This year Gov Gambler was requested
by the chief executive of New Jersey
to allow the Georgia rifle teams to
again contest for the Hilton trophy,
assuring him that the Georgia boys
would receive the fairest treatment in
the contest. The letter of declination
has been sent to the Governor of New

JOB FOUND FOR M'LAURlN.

of Claims Bench-His ''COmmercini
Democracy" Proved Dismal Fail
ure.
serted with great positiveness that
the President has rendered to SEN
ator McLaurin place on the Court of
Claims bench, and, the senator has
concluded to accept it, notwithstand-
ing his original intention to serve out
his term in the Senate. 1t is also as
serted that the appointment of Sena-
tor McLaurin to the bench will mark
the collapse of the plans for the up
holding of a progressive political party
in South Carolina to take in the anti
Populistic Democrats and to include
all men who favored expansion and
the promotion of the material inter
ests of the state.
1t was just about a year ago that
the initial move was made in the ex-
pertinent which now seems to threaten
failure! President Mckinley began by
taking the Federal patronage away
from the Republican ring and vesting
it in progressive Democrats. Then
Senator McLaurin made a breach with
the wool hat" democracy and
deed his position was so far
in advance of his former associations
that it seemed to them-to be an APP
proach to the Republican outposts.
The failure of the experiment was
predicated last summer by those who
gave close study to all the conditions.
That prophesy has been justified by
events. Tillmanism is firmly rooted in
the state. The successor of Senator
McLaurin must be Tillmanite out and
out and stand unequivocally for the
tenets which this masterful manager
has laid down for his followers.
President Roosevelt has endeavored
to follow the Mckinley idea in South
Carolina, but he has not received much
encouragement up to date. His politi-
cal advisers who have his future in
terests at heart advise him to have
done with the "McLaurin Commercial
Democracy" phantom.

WILL DESERT THE MINES.
But Coal Operators Are Taking Steps
to Protect Their Property.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, May 2S.-The Off
GERS of the United Mine Workers as
sembles of this city held a meeting
here to-day and reports were received
from committees appointed to inter-
view the engineers, firemen and pump
men employed at the various colleries
in this city and vicinity. These reports,
so it was stated after the meeting,
showed that very few of the firemen
and pumpmen were found who were
willing to join the striking miners next
Monday unless they were granted an
S-hour day.
There were some engineers who said
Trey would not quit work, but it is
claimed they are comparatively few in
number. Some coal operators and
superintendents held a secret meeting
at one of the coal offices to-day. 1t is
understood there was a general dis
cussion of the strike situation, and
what steps should be taken to protect
the properties of the coal companies in
case of trouble. The big coal compa-
MES continue to swear in special Off
GERS.
