in the various estimates of the num-

Convention of Party Held at
Capitol in Atlanta,
OF ITS WORK
Delegates and AIternates to National
Convention Elected, Platform
Adopted and State Commit.
tees are Named.

Georgia republicans held their state
convention in Atlanta Wednesday, and
after much wrangling between two
factions represented, the convention
named four delegates and four alter
mates from the state at large to the
national republican convention; nam
ed new state central committee;
adopted a platform; adopted a reso-
luton calling on congress to punish
those states which have passed laws
resulting in the Acknowledgement Of
the race and sidetracked a resolu-
ton looking to putting out state
ticket over the pro list OF certain
members of the convention.
H. L. Johnson, of Atlanta, was tenn
porary chairman of the convention;
w. H. Dempsey, of Albany, was made
temporary secretary and afterwards
permanent secretary. Colonel H. p
Farrow, Of Hall county, was made
permanent chairman of the conven-
ton.
The convention was a large one al
most every county in the state being
represented. There were som 400 or
500 present, about 10 per cent of
who mwere whites. TIE gallery was
crowded with spectators.
The first hour Of the gathering pre-.
liminary to the organization was con-
sumed in a fight over the admission
Of delegates. An effort made to pro-
vide for admission to the floor by tick
cts caused the row, at the bottom Of
which was, it is said, the fight be-
tween H. L. Johnson, Ahe colored
lawyer Of Atlanta, and Henry A. Ruck-
er, collector of the port Of Atlanta An
agreement was finally reached, how
ever.
Following are the delegates chosen
from the state at large: Walter Fl.
Johnson, United States marshal of the
northern district Of Georgia, Atlanta;
Judson w. Lyons, of Augusta, regis
ter Of the treasury; H. M. Johnson, a
colored attorney, OF Atlanta; Harry
Stillwell Edwards, postmaster at Ma
con-
Following are the alternates cho-
sen: w. H. Swayne, Of Cedartown;
Alex Alderman, of Macon; H. M. Por-
ter, of Augusta, and B. J. Davis, Of

chairman Of the committee on reor-
ganization and reported as follows

BY Democratic Press Over
" Service Pension" Order.
ACTS AS A BOMBSHELL
Various Calculations Made as to Elk.
pense that Will be EntalIed
When Every Beneficiary Has
Been Enrolled.

The service pension" order recent
iy issued by Pension Commissioner
Ware, at the behest of President
Roosevelt, is being made the basis of
a broadside from the democratic
press.
In communication sent the senate
in response to a request that he est.
mate the amount Of increase which a
service pension of $12 per month
will call for, Mr.. Ware said:
Thus 1884 pensioners would re-
ceive an increase of $72 per year, or
a total Of $6,334,848; 141,2O9 would
receive an increase Of $48 per year, or
a total Of $6,777,744, and 53,744 would
receive an increase of $24 per year,
or total of $1,289,856.
IN addition to the above, the bill
would give title to about 10000 sur
vivoy$ Of the civil war, WHO are now
pensioned under the general law at
rates less than So per month. The
average pension now paid them is
about $3.50 per month They would,
therefore, be entitled to receive an
increase of $240 per month, or about
$50 per year, total Of $5,5O0,00O.
Another class that would take I'M
der the provisions Of the bill is the
unknown army of civil war survig-
ors. Their number on July 1, 1904,
will mot be less than $4,000, and none
of them has as yet been pensioned.
How many of these survivors would
apply under the provisions of the BIZ
cannot be determined in advance Of
its passage, but if 10000 should ap-
ply, the amount required to pay them
at the rate of $144 each would be $751;
100000 a year.
The grand total of benefciaries I'M
der this bill would be over 100000,
and the amount required to pay them
at the rate specified would exceed
$40,00OO00 per year over and above
the present appropriation.
Exact Number Unknown.
Commissioner Ware submitted a
list of $4,000 known surviving sol
diers of the civil war, of whom 615,-
900 are more than e. years old. In
another communication he estimated
that Of this number 1911, 900 are not
now on the pension rolls and would
become benefciaries under the recent
order Then there is what Mr. Ware
has called an unknown army" of civil
war survivors, which he says proba-
bly, embrace as many as 175,O00 Of
this number, fully 10000 must be
more than 81 years Of age, which num-
Der, added to the above estimate,
would bring the total of new pension
ers added by this new order up
20 $4,000. This, at the minimum
figure per month, would mean the ad-
dition of $2S,0OO,OOO annually without
taking into account those persons
now upon the pension rolls who
