DEMOCRATIC PARTY
It Had its Birth in the Foundation ot
the Government.
ITS FAIR HISTORY SINCE THE WAR
What the Party in Georgia Has Accom
plished Since the Reconstruction
period—lt Stands For the Masses.
Americus, Ga., Aug. 31.—These are
times when party ties He loosely on
men, and in the confusion of things
we are prone to forget the past, or to
see clearly the duties of the present.
The fusion of the populists and the
prohibitionists for purposes of getting
political control of the state of Geor
gia and overthrowing the democratic
party brings practically to us the
duties of the present.
The democratic party had its birth
in the very foundation of the govern
ment. Thomas Jefferson, the ideal
democrat, gave it life and being and
character. In 1800 he formed it and
gave it the impress of his great demo
cratic mind.
All the democratic platforms show that
they are for the masses as against the
classes. Examine them from 1840 to
1850 and they proclaim the doctrine of
• equal rights to all and special privileges
to none. All these platforms promulgate
the doctrine that the federal government
has no right to foster one branch of in
dustry to the detriment of another, or to
aid one class at the expense of another.
In 1860 the democratic party failed to
heal its dissensions, and its unity de
stroyed and two democratic electoral
tickets in the field, the republicans be
came victorious.
There was a period in the south’s his
tory after the war designated by histori
ans as the “dark days.” Why the dark
period? Because the best citizens were
disfranchised, the states were in pos
sess’on of the military and run by
federal officers. In each county were
soldiers from the Freedmen’s Bureau
to establish the “loyal leagues,” where
the negroes were educated to hate
the white people. The negroes were
formed into a party unto themselves
so that the South could be republican
ized. The republicans north espous
ed the negro cause, the democrats of
the north espoused the cause of white
supremacy in the south. And thus it
was the white people of the south
fused with the northern democracy
after the war. When the policy of
the northern republicans was develop
ed “rallies’’ were held by northern
democrats protesting against repub
lican policy towards the south, and in
1868 in the national democratic con
vention which met in New York re
solutions were passed . eclaring the
13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the
constitution unconstitutional.
In 1872 the democratic national plat
form demanded absolute removal of all
disabilities and universal amnesty and
local self-government, anil removal of all
the military and turning over the states
to the white people thereof. In time the
democrats north forced the republicans
to withdraw the military, and Bullock
fled and old Milt Smith was installed,
Georgia has reason to be proud of the
advancement made. Bnt what a work
it was to rehabilitate the state.
Our people sat amid the ruins of deso
-- ted homes. The heel of the oppress: r
had been on their necks. The negroi s
had been organized against us and re
publican bosses were insolent. But the
work of restoration went on and the
democrats gave us the constitution of
1877. Our best men formed that con
stitution, Its provisions for the protec
tion of all the people are ample. Under
this constitution our legislatures have
met and passed acts in the interest of
the people. They gave us the railroad
commission and now the powers of this
has been extended over express and tele
graph companies and the railroads ha' e '
been made subject to state and county
taxation. Laws for protection of labor
ers and employes have been passed.
Indeed, so liberal has been democratic
legislation to the debtor rather than the
creditor that our collection laws have

The Cheapest, Purest and Best Family
Medicine In the World!
For DYSPEPSIA, CONSTIPATION, faun
dice, Bilious attacks, SICK HEADACHE, Colic,
Depression of Spirits, SOUR STOMACH,
Heartburn, etc. This unrivalled remedy is
warranted not to contain a single particle of
Mercury, or any mineral substance, but is
PURELY VEGETABLE,
containing those Southern Roots and Herbs
which an all-wise Providence has placed in
countries where Liver Diseases most prevail.
It will cure all Diseases caused by Derange
ment of the Liver and Bowels.
The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a
bitter or bad taste in the mouth; Pain in the
Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheu
matism; Sour Stomach; Loss of Appetite;
Bowels alternately costive and lax; Headache:
Loss of Memory, with a painful sensation ot
having failed to do something which ought to
have been done; Debility; Low Spirits, a thick
yellow appearance of the Skin and Eyes, a dry
Cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many of these symptoms attend
the disease, at others very few; but the Liver
is generally the seat of the disease, and if not
Regulated in time, great suffering, wretched
ness and DEATH will ensue.
The following highly esteemed persons attest
to the virtues of Simmons Liver Regulator:
Gen. \V. S. Holt. Pres. Ga. S. W. R. R. Co.; Rev.
I. R. Felder. Perry, Ga.; Col. E. K. Sparks, Al
bany, Ga.; C. Masterson, Esq., Sheriff Bibb Co.,
Ga.; Hon. Alexander H. Stephens.
“We have tested its virtues, personally, and
know that for Dyspepsia, Biliousness and
Throbbing Headache it is the best medicine the
world ever saw. We tried forty other remedies
before Simmons Li ver Regulator, but none gave
vs more than temporary relief; out the Regu -
lator not only relieved, but cured us.’’—En.

been criticised. Democratic legislation
has also been exceedingly favorable to
women. In many respects women have
more rights under the law in Georgia
than men.
Under democratic management the
state has a public school system that
commands respect. Time and money
will improve it. Better school houses
| are being built and better teachers pro
, vided.
I The State Industrial School for girls at
Milledgeville is a magnificent tribute to
democratic management. A new and
elegant, dormitory has just been added,
yet it is inadequate to the demand.
Every room of the dormitory is now en
gaged. The state has also a technologi
cal school for boys which is doing well,
and the Macon Telegraph was the motive
power which inspired its building.
The state has a magnificent experi
ment farm, so useful to its citizens,
and democratic legislation has seen to
it that the Asylum for the Blind has
proper appropriations, and that the
insane are cared for. Large buildings
I have recently been erected at the re
quest of Dr. Powell.
Pensions for Confederate soldiers
have not been forgotten and will be
increased according to the ability of
the taxyapers to respond.
Who appropriated the money for
our magnificent state capitol of which
Georgia is so proud? Democratic legis
lature did it.
Ffom the day Milton Smith was in
augurated to the presentour growth
has been rapid and wonderful. Our
state matters have been managed
well. No complaints against our
treasury department. The credit of
the state is good. And what state
ever had a more faithful comptroller
general than the one-legged soldier,
Capt. Wright?
We have seen cities and towns spring
up as if by magic, and cars run by elec
tricity are necessary to transport the busy
people. Factories of stupendous mag
nitude have been built and are prosper
ous, and in every line of industrial pro
gress and development our growth has
been marvelous.
Politically, the state has adopted the
creed of the farmers and stands for res
toration of silver. The democratic party
is friendly to the people. It is opposed
to class legislation. It does not seek
to array the farmer against the merchant
or the man in the country against
the man in town. Why, then
under the view of the matters as pre
sented, should not the democratic paity
be continued in control of our state af
fairs? If further reforms are needed,
cannot the same party be trusted? It.is
composed of the best element of Geor
gia society. Already under democratic
management over one hundred counties,
of their own volition, have abolished sa
loons. Only some thirty counties re
main wet. Os these thirty only a few
can be said to be at all dominated by the
whisky influence. Why, then, do some
propose to overthrow the democratic
party and install into power in county
and state the populist party?
The old party is not faithless to the
people. Its old banner is tattered and
t >rn. It has received shot and shell from
republicans, but it waves in honor yet,
and it stands for integrity, for state au- |
tonomy, for white supremacy, for virtue '
and intelligence, and for whatever will
promote the happiness and prosperity of
the people. The present duty of all
good citizens is to prese: ve the demo
cratic party. James Callaway.
