GRAND DEMOCRATIC RALLY.
BARBECUE BY DAY AED TORCIT-IIQRT
PR OCESSIOX A T EIQJIT.
ROME, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4,
Distinguished speakers from Georgia,
Al*basaa and Mississippi will address
the people.
Barbecue free to all, and plenty for
all, both white and black.
Gen. Gordon, of Geargia, Gen. Jno. T
Morgan, of Alabama, Hon. B. H. Hill
of Georgia, Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, of
Mississippi, and other distinguished ora-
tom, have been invited and will address
the people. Speaking in the day and at
night.
To-morrow our people elect a Goverl
nor and members of the Legislature.
It is an important day and should en
gage the ready exercise of every man
patriotism. The effect of the election
will be felt by other State* than our
own, and for that reason it is desirable
that the Democratic majority should be
rolled up as high as possible.
We do not sympathize with Mr. Mil
ner’s eagerness to meet Judge Wright
in his own county, not that we are un
willing to concede to that gentleman
the right to discuss the merits of any
candidate, but we do not see any good
that can come out of tho discussion
If Mr. Milner would do a real seryice
to the Democracy, he would follow up
Dr. Felton and reply to him. But the
trouble is, Dr. Felton is a Bartow man
and Bartow always goes for its man
101
sa
An enthusiastic Feltonite, writing
from Calhoun, lets the cat out of the
wallet as to the kind of riff-raff they
rely upon to beat the “damn’d Democ
racy.” He says, “the old whigs are for
Felton, the white Republicans are for
him, the niggers are for him, and we
intend to smash the damned rotten
Democracy until there will not be
greasy spot left of it.” Our opinion
that the old whigs will be ashamed of
their company and will spurn the alli
ance.
The New York Herald calls Governor
Vance, a fool because he said, “Look
the men who dipped their hands in Union
blood, e7ery one of them for Tilden and
. Hendricks ” The New York Herald is
fool for believing that Gov. Vance ever
said such a foslish thing.
Since writing the above we find that
the Herald has found out its mistake and
ade tho correction. The expression at-
ibuted to Gov. Vance was a quotation
made by that gentleman, from a speech
of Bob Icgersoll, a Radical orator whom
the Herald says is making rotes for the
Democracy.
The New York Herald has the follow
ing concerning Southern wai claims:
They are putting an awkward ques
tion to some of the Democratic candi
dates in Ohio and Indiana. It concerns
Southern war claims, and our advice to
Democratic candidates for Congress,
North, South, East or West, is to make
quick and frank reply whenever thie
question is put to them, as it doubtless
will be.
We are not candidates for Congress,
but we have the interest of our party at
heart nevertheless, and can answer the
Herald, that so far as the Southern
claims are concerned they do not appeal
very forcibly to Democratic sympathy,
as they are made in the interest, mainly,
of those who did not sympathize with
the South in the days when she needed
the sympathy and help of all her chil
dren. No one can hope to recover any
damages who can not subscribe to the
iron-clad oath, and anyone subscribing
to that oath would not be likely to com
mand the active T ffid of a Democratic
aspirant to public favor. The great
deluge of claims that burst upon the
Treasury a few years ago was duo alto
gether to a few Radical exploiters, who
as commissioners got a fee of 85.00 for
each application they filed, and conse
quently were active in trumping up
every one they could, promising their
willing dupes a certain and speedy re
ward for their losses. We protested
against the swindle at the time, and
warned our people against the folly of
spending their money upon such a ven
ture. We denounced the swindle as of
the same character as that of the yan-
kee sharper wt o sold the poor negro’s
painted slicks with which to stake off
their land. But the warning was un
heeded and hundreds of poor women
starved themselves and their children to
save the 85.00 fee for thecommissioner.
The money thus Btolen from the credu
lous poor of the South was as great a
hardship to them, as was the actual
loss by the war. If the Democratic
party could do anything in the matter,
should be to make these dishonest
commissioners restore the money they
thus obtained from their victims under
the false assurance that their claims
were just and should be paid.
That these claims will bo paid we
have always warned our people against
believing, and as an additional warning
we give the remainder of the Herald's
article. That paper says:
There are a good many silly and ig
norant people in the South who imag
ine that when the Democratic parly
gets its hands in the National Treasury
it will rain larks down South, and they
will only have to hold their mouths
open to get their stomachs full. There
is no notion down there of payment for
slaves or payment of the Confederate
debt. All that nonsense would be os
vigorously opposed South as North
The slaveholders were but few in num
bers, and the Confederate debt is not
yet due—it was made payable six
months after the acknowledgment of
Confederate independence, and you
cannot sue on a note until it is past due.
But there is a multitude of claims of a
different kind, and a multitude of
claimant who imagine that some time
or other they will get something on
these claims, and they look to the Dem
ocratic party for their money. These
claims are of this kindThe Union
armies marched over a very considera
ble part of the Southern States; they
camped every night; they cut down a
tremendous amount of timber; they
burned a good many thousand miles of
fence; they quartered themselves in the
least uncomfortable places they could
find, public and private buildings;
they took food and other supplies where
they could find them, as is the custom
of invading armies. In fact, they lived
on the country, as was their proper
right, because the folly of the people
had made it for the time an enemy'
country.
Now a considerable number of those
who were thus forced to entertain and
supply our armies have still hope that
they may get damages out of the gov
ernment. Of course they are mistaken;
they will never get a dollar, because the
American people are not a set of idiots.
But it is a question which the Demo
crats had better get out of the way, now
that it is raised. The fact the at the
last session of Congress some bills sus
piciously looking toward the payment
of such claims were introduced in the
House, and that they were not rejected
but quietly laid over to the next session,
gives the matter a practical importance;
and we advise the Democrats to say at
once, publicly and positively, that they
will not pay a cent!
Southern wing of tho party and let the
Democrats assume the responsibility of
the political settlement in those States.
What harm could have come to the coun
try? Not the least. The Democratic
party South is composed of mansters and
barbarians ; those Southern States which
have, in spile of Republicans struggles
and intrigues, become Democratic are al
most the only peaceful and prosperous
ones; which proves sufficiently that the
Southern Democrat, thrown on his re
sponsibility, seeks, as he must, to secure
honest and lawful government fer his
State. He cannot help doing so, for he
owns nearlv all the property in his State
and has a larger interest in its prosperity
than the Republican by far. The credit
of Democratic Georgia is as good as that
federal government. Arkansas is peace
able ana prosperous under Democratic
rule, while South Carolina Louisiana are
unquiet and wretched under Republican
publican control. Alabama, long
thought to be no better than Louisiana,
became quiet as soon as the Democrats
gained tbe ascendancy.
That is to say, the Republican rule in
Southern States has been success, but the
contrary; and tbe failure hns been
caused mainly, if not altogether, by the
fact that the so-called Republicans of the
so-called Republicans of Southern States
have been the constant pets of the North
ern Republican politicians; they have
been nursed and coddled; their qualities
have not been questioned; their faults
and crimes have condoned; they have
been bolstered up by extraneous forces by
federal interference of various kinds.
They have not ruled on their merits, or
because the were abler, stronger, more
capable men than their opponents, but
because they wore allowed to call for fed
eral troops when they chose; to sell their
support in Congiesa and in national con
vention for partisan and dangerous legis
lation intended to bolster up their contin
ually failing influence, in their section.
They bavo played upon Ihe humane (bars
and the of Northern Republicans until
their wretched and selfish misgovern-
ment in the South has brought the nation
al Republican party into disrepute and
danger of defeat. And, after all, they
who have done this are Republicans in
any true. They are merely political ad
venturers, whom the honest aod real Re
publicans in their Stales dislike and fear
with all their hearts.
Whatever efforts the Republican parly
makes in the South during the present
canvass will inure solely the personal
advantage of this class of men. What
ever success tbe party may secure down
there by its eflirts will be the gain of the
Kelloggs, Packards Spencers and Cham
berlains. That is now unavoidable,
Those people have the machinery in their
hands; they are the candidates for office,
and they cling to office with a death grip,
Reform in the South lies not in their fur
ther success, but in their utter and disor
ganizing defeat. If tbe Republican
leaders of the North understood the
Southern situation those of them who are
conscientious and patriotic men would
shake off these Southern barnacles, and
those who are not conscientious would
still, for expediency’s sake, drop these
adventurers, whose alliance has been and
must continue to be an embairassmeut to
the national parly.
?eace I” the cry is for raising what may
ie another war. And why is this?
Only because the people of the South
ern States choose to vote as they please,
without regard to the corrupt combina-
nalions of office-holders all over the
country, wielded by equally corrupt
combinations of legislators at the seat
of government to perpetuate their own
power. Verily, verily, if the people are
wise they will lay down party and seize
the present opportunity to make a
change. I am very truly yours,
Charles Francis Adams.
“ Ought James A. Garfield to be in
Congress or in the penitentiary ?’’ is the
title of a political tract that is being
distributed through Garfield’s district
in the State of Ohio, by the “ Anti-Gar
field Executive Committee.” The tract
gives an account of DeGolyer fraud of
Garfield, and proves by the evidence
and by the law that if Garfieid is not
yet in the penitentiary, it would, never
theless, be disgraceful to send him
again to Congress.
If old Uncle Jonathon Norcross
would only read the papers, he would
know that the credit of Democratic
Georgia is as good as that of the Feder
al Government.

PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT THE SOUTH.
The New York Herald is not partial
to the South, nor is it Democratic, but it
does sometimes tell the truth about the
Southern people. Its last essay upon
Southern affairs contains much that is
creditable to its acumen as a journalist.
Wo extract as follows:
But, after all, if we had to advise the
Republican leadeu we should urge them
to leave the Southern States uavisi ed
during this canvass. Indeed, we should
go further and tell them that if they were
wise would give up evei^ Southern State
to tho democrats for this election. The
South has been a constant and increasing
embarrassment to the Republican party.
The party acted u;-on the superstition
that it must somehow make aud keep
those States Republican. They seem to
it the prize of war, to give up which is to
give up the result of the war. We speak
of this as a superstition, and it is nothing
else. In reality the Republican party
would be far stronger to-day if it had had
courage four years ago to adrift the
Old Uncle Johnathan Norcross had
the impudence to stand up in the City
Hall a few days ago and extol the Re
publican party as a party of great moral
purity, and he denounced Sam’l J. Til
den as a thief and perjurer. We pitied
the poor old fool, but were surprised
that some of his negro hearers applaud
ed him for the slander. As some of
these take the Courier we will give
them a letter from Charles Francis
Adams, one of the purest and best men
in the world, and one of Abe Lincoln’s
most trusted ministers:
Quincy, M;ss., Sept. 25.
Daniel Magone, Jr., Chairman New York
Slate Democratic Oommillee:
Dear Sir—Absence from the city has
prevented me from answering promptly
your letter of the 20th inst. If I were
younger it would be an agreeable duty
to perform the task to which you invite
me, but I have not done anything of
the kind for fifteon years, ana am now
in my seventieth year. Should I accept
one invitation it would probably give
rise to others which would have an
equal claim. My judgment is that I
had better stay at home. Yet I think
I fully appreciate the importance of
this canvass. It is narrowing itself
daily more and more into a struggle be
tween the people and the managers who
hold the official organization of the
country for their own exclusive benefit.
From the days of the Credit Mobiliar
down to the last exposures made by the
investigators of the last Congress there
is only one conclusion to be drawn, and
that is the prevalence of corruption al
most everywhere in the Republican or
ganization. The honest men do, indeed,
make brave and sincere efforts to resist
this baleful influence, but they are too
often defeated to raise any just hopes
of ultimate success. This struggle has
been going on for years, and no mate
riel change for the belter has yet been
effected. The time has now come for a
radical change, and the substitution of
a wholly new influence tied up by no
restrictions other than the genuine
wishes of honest men of all parties.
When in a great popular convention of
a party to nominate a candidate for
the Presidency one gentleman deeply
compromised by the investigations of a
committee of the House of Representa
tives, comes within twenty-five votes of
a nomination, and another, who really
did honor to himself by fearless and
effective exposures of corruption in high
places, could not command many more
than a hundred votes, it seems to me
that it is hi"h time for a change in t!
public opinion. Neither is the case im
proved by a view of the manner in
which the canvas has been carried on.
Tbe great effort of the Republicans
seems to be to operate on the popular
passions excited during the late civil
war. Instead of repeating the honora
ble call of President Grant, “Lot qs have
