THE ENCAMPMENT.
Mt Was a Grand. Succes 7i»Prom
■ inent Speakers Addreg urge
•nd Enthusiastic Crowds.
| The political campmeeting held at
! Alpharetta on the 12th, Kith, and
14th wag as great a success in. every
way as its most ardent promoters
and friends could have wished. Al
pharetta is a pleasant little town of
about three hundred inhabitants, the
county seat of Milton county, and
situated about thirty miles north of'
i Atlanta. Milton, Forsyth and Chero
kee compose one senatorial district,
and the purpose of the ckmpmeeting
was to bring the voters of those three
counties together in pleasant reunion,
and give them an opportunity to hear
the issues of the day discussed by
some of the foremost reform speakers.
Invitations were extended to friends
everywhere, but practically all of the
crowd were from the three counties
above named. On the first day there
were about three thousand people
present, which number was increased
each following day, and on Friday,
when Mr. Watson spoke, there were
perhaps five thousand in attendance.
Several of the speeches were ex
ceptionally fine—among the speakers
being Hons. Frank Burkitt, of Mis-'
eissippi; W. L. Peek, T. E. Winn,
Seaborn A. Wright, Thos. E. Watson,
S. D. Walton, Hugh Colquitt, and
Gen. Phillips.
Hon. Frank Burkitt is a typical
Southern orator. The “proteus of
many talents,” he passes easily “from
grave to gay, from lively to severe,”
and, while he is never coarse or vin
dictive, he is always a straight hitter
and always interesting.
The following extract gives some
idea of his speech:
n
HON. FRANK BURKITT.
“It is not a new Democracy we
crave. But it is the same God given
principle in the human heart, which
inspired the barons and commons at
Runny mede, that love of freedom
and Independence that wreathed
the br.ows of our fore-fathers in ’7 6.
It is that indomitable spirit implant
ed in the human heart by nature and
jnature’s God which prompt the
ove of liberty, and the demand for
‘equal rights to all and special privil
eges to none”. It is to the attain
ment of that state of progress and
advancement to which our Savior
alluded when he taught, “Thy king
dom come, thy will ba done on earth
as in he sven,” when all oppression
shall cease from the earth, and every
man shall sit under his own vine and
fig tree and none shall molest or
make him afraid.
“You are the posterity of the pa
triot fathers of the revolution. To
you this eternal Democracy—Liberty I
—offers the “Oracles of God.” The ■
battle of the ages is again waxirg
hot. If we would,we can not escape
the contest. It is upon us. It is
hi re. The issue is win or bo enslaved.
“By the honor and courage bf our
gallant national leaders, Bryan and
W’atson. By the chivalry and man
hood of the magnificent ticket you
nominated last week in Georgia. By
the glorious meuori-is of the past
when you can stand by the princi
ples which you have in your plat
form through the triumph of which
the people are to bn relieved from
the domination of the open whiiky
saloon as well as from the clutch of
the money power. By the glorious
memories of the past, when your an-
County Chairmen Organize Scab Wright Clubs in Every Militia District
YOU HAVE ONLY 23 DAYS IN WHICH TO REGISTER.
Ask the next 10 men you meet who are Populists, or Democrats, or Republicans if they have registered
since .January Ist, 1896.
Out of the thirty see which party has the most registered. Send result of your investigations to your State Secretary, JAS. L. SIBLEY, Wall Street, Atlanta Ga.
Go to work and see that every man who wishes to vote our ticket is registered. These instructions are not only to county chairmen, but to every man interested in the success of our ■ f T? .
Mr. V\ right has no Ain his name—simply Seaborn Wright. Let the newspaper men note this and print it properly in their papers. J. jy. CUNNING!! -W1 Ch-"’ cniem ber
castors selected their first device in
dicating the sovereignty of this proud
old empire state of the South, bear
ing the significant warning to kingly
oppressors and plutocratic powers
the world over,“Don’t tread cn me.”
I believe you will win. Gcd ba
with you until the victory is yours.’
Col. Peek, with, whom speaking
is only an avocation, and a new
avocation too, has grown to be
one of the most forceful, and
/entertaining speakers in the State-
And if there is one man in Georgia
who is a little more devoted and
loyal than anyone else to the Populist
cause, that man is perhaps W. L.
Peek. Whenever his party’s interests
have clashed with his own interests,
he has always set party above self in
away which the frailty of human
nature permits but few men to do;
and in every emergency, and to every
call of the party, he responds with all
his heart and strength.
Hon. Seaborn A. Wright, the gu
bernatorial nominee, is a great addi
tion to the party. Ho is a gentleman
of wealth and refinement, an able
and suoceseful lawyer, and an orator
of the very first class. Ha is a very
handsome man, with a graceful
1 figure and clear, classical features
and his voice, though penetrating, is
, as musical as the chime of bells. " Mr.
Wright understands the situation in
. Georgia, and those who listen to his
speeches will understand it too. “in
all his quiver’s choice” he hasn’t per
: haps a more deadly arrow than his
1 ridicule, and whenever he turns to
that he is as good as a play; but
when ho appealed to the North G<-or
-1 gian to stand up against barrooms he
surpassed himself and carried all be
-1 fore him. Mr. Wright speaks against
whiskey not like a fanatic, and n ot like
same men who, charged to the brim
with gall and bitterness, and fearing
to bite their tongues, must turn to
the subject of barrooms as the most
convenient and popular one on which
to disgorge their spleen; but he
spoke like a man who is earnest and
honest—who has calculated the mis
chief of this evil, and will consistently
pursue his course, whether it suits a
I few of his sisters and his cousins and
his aunts or not.
Mr. Hugh Ca’quitt, a Bryan and
Watson Democrat and a brother to
tho laic Senator Colquitt, made a
short but interesting talk Friday
1 morning.
Mr. Watson was the star attraction
for Friday. Not a voice was heard,
nor a man cut of place when he arose
to speak. Many who came to laugh
remained to praise and shake his
hand. Mr. Watson was not so fervid
and thrilling as he often is, but in
-1 clear, close, convincing argument he
was at his beef, and the results of bis
speech wore to be seen, not more
in the enthusiasm of his friends than
in the congratulations and hearty
handshakes of the Democrats and
Republicans present.
Very probably no speech of Mr.
Watson’s has changed so many voters
as this one did; and careful investi
gation satisfivs us that every Bryan
i Democrat theie was for Watson also.
I This fact was remarked by everyone
present.
With its pure waler and
mountain breezes—the lat.terso cool
that cover was needed every night—
■ Alpharetta is a pleasant place to visit.
; The country around is more prosper
: ous than most rural communities; and
in these q uiet retreats of the country,
safely removed from tho “ignoble
s rite” of cities, one finds honesty,
s iicerity and hospitality in their
purest state. Then too the girls of
Alpha-etta are very pretty. Ho who
imagines that all the beautiful women
live in the cities and railroad towns
would change his mind after a visit
there. Here was one with a face of
snrpas.s'ng beauty, and a foim as airy
and grateful as Grecian chisel ever
traced; and there another, whose
superb figure, handsome eyes and ir.
telle.otual brow would attract admira
tion cn the finest boulevards.
Dr Parsons and hia fellow man
agars dsserve great pra'se for leading
off in the camp-neeting movement,
and fcr the provisions made for the
pleasure and entertainment of every
one who came to their meeting.

ATLANTA CONSTITUTION
“Catches It in the Neele” From
A. A. Murphey.
OPEN LETTER TO EVAN P. HOWELL
“Atlanta, Ga , August 17, 1896. j
—Evan P. Howell: In your last■
Saturday’s paper, you rush madly'
into print and denounce me as having
made, in my Zebulon speech, a false
statement. Then, as is the custom
of your paper when you misrepre
sent a gentleman, you c'ose your
columns on him.
“Immediately upon reading your
Saturday’s card, while at Stone
Mountain, I wrote a reply to the
same and eent it to the C institution
for publication. This reply has not
been published by you.
“When you received the commu
nication from the Messrs. Strickland,
of Concord, informing you that I
had made a statement, in regard to
you, which you considered untrue, it
was your duty, as au honoroble and
brave man would have done, to have
found out from me whether or not I
was correctly or incorrectly reported.
You preferred rather to parade me
through you columns a faleiSer.
“Without mincing words let me
say: I did state in my Zabulon
speech you admitted to me, in a con
versation soon after Atkir son’s inau
guration, that Hines polled more
votes than Atkinson. Whan you
deny this statement, Howell, you lie.
“You state what is absolutely ul
tras in your card whan you say you
‘have not seen Amazon A. Murphey
but twice in two years until the
August convention.’ I have seen
and conversed with you at least half
a dozen times during the last two
years.
“In this connection let me say fur
ther: Your personal organ, the Con
stitution, has porsistently and ma io
ously, for years, misrepresented me
through its columns. My name is
rarely over mentioned in your paper
except to belittle and belie. This
mu«t stop. From this time on I shall
hold you to a personal sc fount for
any reflection upon me that appears
in your paper, and ‘damned be ho
wh> first cries: Hold, enough!’
“My A.lanta address is No. 10 N.
Firsyth street. My home address is
Barnesville, Georgia.
