After the breaking up of he national Democratic convention at Charleston the party in Georgia held a state convention. Great excitement prevailed. The leaders of the party could not agree. It was a critical period. The majority report indorsed "the se-ceders 'or bolters at Charleston, while the minority report opposed their ae The leading champion of the minority was Hersehel V.

Johnson and his, followers were confident that his eloquence and logic "would carry the' day. It is quite likely that such would have been the case but for an unfortunate mishap. l2x-Gov. Johnson began hi3 speech before the noon adjournment on the second day and concluded after dinner. Old men who remember that speech say that ft was a powerful argument and the impression gained ground that after the noon recess the speaker would demolish his opponents with a few sledge-hammer blows.

But the overconfident friends of the minority report were doomed to dis son. In the first place would say. that the Legislature at the special session in December 1898 passed a law making the office of city assessor of cities of the second class an elective office, and repealing the old law, giving the Mayor of cities of the second class power to appoint the city assessor, and that law went into effetJfc on its- publicfctiyn in the official state paper -the law was duly published and took effect before the Mayor appointed Samuel Gallagher, assessor, hence the power of the Mayor to appoint was abolished at the time the Mayor attempted to make said appointment.

This was a fatal mistake, That one glass of wine perhaps changed the destiny of the nation! The great orator resumed his speech, but the wine had nauseated him.

He was hazy, verbose and unintelligible at times. His style and argument lacked vigor, consistency and positiveness. His friends looked at one another in despair. The men on the other side were exultant. It was evident that the speaker had damaged his own case.

Had Johnson succeeded in inducing the Georgia convention to adopt his conservative ideas, it is safe to say that other southern states would have fallen into line with our commonwealth and the national Democratic party would have remained united. This is the story of what a little glass of wbne did. It ruined a great party, caused a disastrous war, and, besides the loss of life, cost the south over $4,000,000,000.
