The democratic I party, as a nation >1 party, is dead F beyond resurrection, and to stand by i it, is to stand by a corpse. Cleveland and a democratic con gress have killed it. What better evidence would you want of its | death than to read the returns from i the elections held in each of the ; northern, eastern and western states j since Cleveland was inaugurated ; March 4th, 1893. Not a single state i has been carried by the democrats ' since Cleveland and hie congress i were installed in office, but on the contrary ail the states have either I gone republican or populist. Look at such democratic states as N w York, New Jersey, Connecti cut, Rhode Island and Delaware, they have turned down the democrats at the polls, in most of them by over ivh lining majorities. This fall the tight is between the populist and republicans in the north. The democrats will not carry , a single state outside of the old c n *ederate states, and not all of the latter. All intelligent democrats, north, east and west, concede to either the <opulists or republicans, each and very one of those states; that the Hext congress, senate and house will both be out of the control of the democrats. There will be scarcely a democratic representative in the house from a single state northeast of Maryland or north of the Ohio river. Then what is the use of the south wasting her votes on a fizzle? Why not like Paul cut loose from that body of death (democracy) and join the people’s party, which will carry a sufficient number of western and northern states and representatives to control congress and give us : 1. Free coinage of silver, ratio 16 to 1. 2. Genuine tariff reform, not over 15 to 20 per cent. rate. 3. Currency expansion, SSO per capita. 4. Relief to the people by stopping the issue of bonds. 5. Clip the wings of the plutocrats by placing gold side by side with k silver. L 6.

The people should indignantly re pudiate the political lepers, Gober, Brown and Clay, and give them to understand that the people are “the men who control.”—Atlanta Gazette (Dem.) As they form a part of that delec table clique known as “the men who control,” and every democratic vote ea’st in'Octoby means an endorse ment of these men and their r .cthods, it follows that the only way th ■ people can repudiate them is vote against the democratic party. The First Effect. ..Siufar will necessarily rise in price, .nd tts will probably be the first ap purenueiffcct of the new tariff upon prices. ( This |s a frank admission by the Joui ual. If it had added : “and it will proihably be the only apparent effect of the tariff bill to the people” it would! have stated the case fully and plainly. The populist plank is composed of 19 words. That is “much in little.” The democratic silver plank is com posed of 184 words. That is little in much.—Woodbury Messenger.

Fairmount, Ga., ) August 22, 1894.) Mr. Editor.—Please publish tb> following letter, which explains itself. Newnan, Ga., June 11. Mr. Chas. Johnson, Fairmount, Ga.: Dear Sir. Your letter received, i do not see how you could ask the ques tion whether I ant a democrat or not. In the first speech 1 made in (leorgia 1 stated my position—-that while I have not and do not agree with everything our president has done, 1 still uphold him as the head of our party and en courage democrats to do the same. He has made no serious blunder, and we should not strive to find fault with him. Ho is the head of the party, and we should recognize him as such. I re gard you as my friend. W. Y, Atkinson. Here it is in the raw. Mr. Atkin son disagrees with the administration by indorsiug it in full—that illegal issue of bonds and all. He says we should not even strive to iind fault with anything the President has done, and should encourage demo crats also not to strive. This letter reveals the true position of the dem ocratic party. Now let them quit their hypocricy and boldly endorse “our republican President.” This letter shows conclusively that the southern democracy is now in per fect accord with John Sherman. This letter, written in couffileuce, as the words “I regard yon ns my friend,” will show, gives the whois scheme away. To ask Mr. Atkinson whether he will stand by the admin istration,” is no matter of private concern to me. I do not propose nor intend to indorse it. I find fault with it without “striving.” I could not, nor I would not indorse any man or party that of necessity bad to resort to deception to suc ceed. This is a question of public concern and every voter has the right to know how every candidate regards the administration. Mr. At kinson has given me what he has tried to conceal in the word “parity.” This shows him opposed to any coin age of silver and any relief what ever. Much obliged to you, Mr. Atkin son, for giving yourself away. Chas. Johnson. What Senator Mills Said of the New Tariff Bill. “The bill was dictated by five or six or seven men on this floor. My friend from Missouri (Vest), is right n saying there is no democratic ma ority on this floor for'tariff reform. There are four parties on this Hoor, epublicans, populists, democrats and onservative parties. The conserva tives held the balance of power. The conservative balance of power made the bill. We voted for it. We passed it and it ,s about to become a law. We were between the devil ind the deep sea, and rather than see :he couiftry go to the devil w r e went into the deep sea.” POPULIST RALLY. Mr. J. Ward and Mr. J. W. Dixon Nominated. Thomasville, Ga., August 25. (Special.)—Yesterday an enthusiastic mass meeting was held here to nomi nate candidates for the legislature. At least 100 white men and some negroes gathered before the hour set for the meeting. After some strong speeches by the leading populists of the county, showing the great need of a party of reform, names were placed in nomina tion, and Messrs. Jesse Ward and J. W. Dixon were declared the nominees of the populists of Thomas count}' for the state legislature. Mr. A. W. Ivey, of Atlanta, formerly secretary of the Alliance, made a speech which was enthusiastically re ceived. The populist party is .quite strong here and is .safe to carry the county. In September another mass meeting will be held to nominate county offi cers. The Atlanta Daily Fkess is a double-jointed hummer with side whiskers. Thomas E.

Wednesday, August the 22i5{SSjjfi will be a day long to ba ed by the “old mossbscks” of I'utJUaß nani county, as the date on the people’s party increased their ’ number by the hundreds, and their s decreased in the same proportion. They bad often ftatod that the Hon. T. E. Watson would never deliver a reform speech in Eatonton, but the game little Tommie did so all tho same. The “democrat bosses” gave orders beforehand for the people to remain at home and snow him under, but gathering from tho crowd that, was there, their orders had but little or no effect at all. There was between 1,500 and 2.000 people to hear the distinguish ed Georgian. Mr. Watson was in troduced by the Hon. 11. A. Jenkins, of Eatonton. He arose amid loud applause and it was several minutes before he could commence, but he soon had tho boys under control. Then he began to attack the two old parties in away that showed the people that he was master of the oc casion. He Spoke about two hours and a half. After the speaking they assembled in tho courthouse lor the purpose of organizing the county. Mr. Rosen crans was elected temporary chair man. On motion, Mr. J. F. Greg ory was elected permanent chairman, and Mr. R. 11. Bonner secretary. After several short speeches, tho chairman calleu a mass meeting to meet September the Sth, for the pur pose of nominating county represent atives. Meeting then adjourned. Mr. Watson took the two o’clock train for home, promising that Judga Hines would bo with us on Septem ber Sth. Mr. Watson voted the crowd, aid two-thirds of tho people pledged themselves to support Judge Hines. We return thanks to cur demo cratic friends for the respect shown to our distinguished speaker. James G. Bonner, Tom Watson will speak at Eatonton today and tho democrats of Putman will meet his charge with a grand bar becue rally. The odds can be safely pluccdon the barbecue.—Euquirer-Snn. Not only did the democratic bosses give orders for tho people not to hear Mr. Watson speak, but from the above clipping from the Columbus Enquirer-Sun it appears that they even tried the strong counter attract ion of a “grand free barbecue.” Perhaps the bosses arc convinced now that the odds can no' be “safely placed on tho barbecue.” An International Agitation. There is only one element of divis ion in the democracy of this state and that is made up pf those demo crats who persist in agitating the IG to 1 free silver tolly. 'Tho harm that comes from it js rot tjjat i.t. mfAes, tho danger of such free coinage any more eminent, but it unnecessarily misleads many people who have had ' no opportunity to give the subject careiul investigation, and makes them more easily' caught by ibis claptrap of the silver demagogues. There has been no sound argument _vet ad-' vauced to show where anybody but, the mine owers in the west would get the slightest benefit from the free coinage proposed, but gold will un- \ doubtedly be driven out of the coun try ai I the people will have forced upon them a debased and depend ent currency. When the people real ize what this class of demagogues are trying to do, they’ will have a reckoning with them that will very considerably thin out tho class that are doing the mischief. It is well enough to frankly tell the people that there is never likely' to be in this country any free or unlimited coinage of silver at 1G to 1. The Georgia democracy have refused to ask for such a coinage. The national democracy have distinctly repudiated it. The democratic congress, house and senate, have voted it down, and President Cleveland would veto such a bill if it were presented to him. Furthermore, the wildest populist dare not entertain tho hope that his party can elect the next president. If, then, by the lukewarmness and discontent of democrats, and by the treachery of others, sufficient votes are led away into the Puffer-Watson camp to defeat the democratic can didate, nothing is so sure that the re publican party will again come into power, and then we shall experience sad years of misrule, of high tariff, of plundering the many to enrich the few, of more reckless pensions, of more wild wrecking of the treasury, and even then, no free coinage at 1G to 1. If our people are looking for that millenium they' will wait till the scroll of time is ended. The above article is clipped from the Columbus Enquirer Sun. We commend it to the prayerful attention of the rock-ribbed brethren who made tho Warrenton platform for Hon J. C. C. Black. Don’t V ant It. The editor of the Baptist Leader gives notice that “he don’t want one George R. Brown to be judge of the superior court of Blue Ridge circuit. The people are not hurting for either of these things, and therefore we ask that they be not pushed upon them. How to Save Your Gins.
