News of the progress of the par
ty which comes from the Demo

juite encouraging, and has some
what disgruntled the Third Party-
folks in the state. Letters go
into campaign headquarters every
day from the Democratic clubs
which now exist in every county
in the state, showing the solid
stand of the party in the separate
counties. Many Third Partyites,
are dissatisfied with the rejection
of Winn and they are not particu
lar about their allegiance to the
party.
Peek and Watson cannot escape
the record they made on the tenant
law when they were members of
the legislature. The Washington
Gazette says:
“Peek and Watson say to the
loss fortunate men among the
voters, men who do not own land
but have to work it for others
‘come and vote for us, wo will be
your friends when we are elected.’
But these voters say to them, ‘when
you were members of the Georgia
legislature, you introduced and
voted for the slavery bill, which, i
it had passed, would have made
tho tenant the slave of the land
lord. You cannot deny this.
Hero is what cx-Governor Blox-
hani says about the Third party in
Florida: “Does any man suppose
for a moment that this Third party
ticket would have ever been
thought of if the radicals had put
out a ticket? The radical party,
by its prearranged policy cf non
action, gave birth to this new
movement, and its paternity is
well evidenced by the republicans,
(black and white) carpet-bagger
and southern, being present in
Jacksonville and standing good-
father of their offspring.”
What is true of the Third party
in Florida is true of it in Georgia.
Tho Republicans in Georgia will
not put out a ticket, but will sup
port the Third party candidates.
That is a foregone conclusion.

The Savannah News says : “It is
said that Ben Russell, Democratic
nominee for congress from the
Second district, can ‘play a fiddle
and call out a cotillion with any of
the hoy-s.’ ‘Bob’ Taylor, it will be
remembered, once ‘fiddled’ his
way into the gubernatorial chair of
Tennessee. But Mr. Russell will
not have to fiddle for votes.

the figures of the cotillion he for

No, Brother Russell does not play
the fiddle, but for blowing a DemO'

true Democracy Ben Hill himself
would have felt proud of him.

The Danger off the Hour.
The destructive riots and serious
disturbances among the laboring
classes and news of which contin
ues to burthen the wires, render
most appropriate the declaration
of the Nashville Amercan that
“law-abiding citizens must stand
aghast at sight and in the presence
of the spirit of lawlessness which
seems to ho stalking abroad in the
land. It exists from East to West
and from North to South. Every
day’s newspapers tell of strikes, of
mobs, of property destroyed, of
lynchings and of human lives laid
upon the debris of outraged law
The courts are spit upon, the
majesty of the law derided, the
oilicials of the government treated
with contempt. This is the condi
tion of affairs no one nor a dozen
States alone. The terrible fact is
apparent everywhere. From
Homestead to Wyoming and from
Buffalo to Tracey City, it is the
same. What is to come from such
conditions, is the question which
good citizen must ask himself after
having first thought of what should
be done to check the spread. There
is a demand for broad thinkers
and for a bold, determined counter
law-abiding spirit and determina
tion to save the country from
threatened ruin.”

To the Democratic Party of the Second
Congressional District.
Fellow-Citizens :—in bowing
to the authorities of my party, and
retiring from the racofor Congress,
which I have done a decent respect
to the opinions of those who have
honored me with their support,
demands that I should make known
the reasons which have forced this
conclusion.
Reaching this decision caused me
much unrest, for I felt I would be
severely criticized by many friends
who do not realize the difficulties
that would have been to overcome
with two candidates seeking the
same position in the same party.
My only hope of success would be
in a thorough canvass by myself
and friends of the district, in which
the issues involved could be dis
cussed, and the Democratic party
aroused to a proper sense of its
duty.
It is evident to all thinking men
who have analyzed the past canvass
that it was purely and simply the
farmers’ fight against all other
trades and professions not in full
sympathy with their views and
purposes for reform. A contest of
this nature, if persisted in and car
ried to its legitimate conclusion
would have created strife and divi
sion among our people, and divid.
ed our political organization into
warring classes. Such a result no
one would deplore more than my
self, or would make greater sacri
flees to avert. The state of society-
in our sister States at present, re.
suiting from a struggle of like
character, the bitterness, the strife
and it might be the disruption of
the Democratic party, warn me
against being a party to such a
state of political and social disorga
nization in my own district and in
Georgia. To have divisions, in the
face of impending dangers to the
South from Federal legislation
would be disastrous to every living
interest of our Southern people. It
is better to submit to the evils that
have been heaped upon us than to
create, by- heated contests, a di\
sion in the Democratic ranks. For
to that party we must, after all
look for relief from our grievances
and deliverance from the burden
that oppress our people.
I am for pure, undetiled Demo
cracy, such as was handed down to
us by our forefathers, and, as I un
derstand it, it consists in this: The
supremacy of the counties and
fixates in the management of their
own local affairs, and determined
district of all centralization, the
fearless reform of tho tariff, equal
justice to all sections and classes
taxation for purposes of revenue
only, the honest expenditure of the
public money, eternal enmity to all
monopoly, a currency sufficient to
do the business of the country upon
a cash basis.
Such a party, with such a set
principles, can not be defeated,
hope that your wisdom and patrio
tism may preserve and protect
these great principles of a pure and
honest government which are em
bodied in the Democratic party.
To my former friends and breth
ren in the Alliance, you who have
conferred upon me honor and dis
tinction, and for whose success I
have worked that your interest
might have representation, I feel it
is a duty I owe you to hoist the
danger signal. The principles of
the Alliance and its purposes com
mend themselves to my judgment
and support, and no member will
strike harder blows in their defense
than myself; but let us do so inside
of the ranks of the Democratic par-
tv. I rejoice to know that the
farmers of our country have con
ceived the idea of acting and think
ing for themselves, and much good
must come of it—social, intellectu
al agricultural and finaneisl both to
the material interest of the coun
try, and I might say, and will say,
that the great awaking of our agri
cultural citizenship will preserve
the principles of the party which
has protected this great and glori
ous Commonwealth of ours.
A cl ins: In tlie Democratic Way.
In another column will be found
an address issued by the demo
cratic executive committee of
Thomas county, in which, after
giving its version of the situation
leading to the contest between the
two congressional delegations from
that county, and protesting against
the act on of the district conven
tion in ignoring the authority of
the county committee, it says:
Mr. Ben E. Bussell was nomina
ted. We believe him to be an
honest true man and a good dem
ocrat.
The party ought to be kept in
tact, and unity preserved. We ad
vise all democrats for the sake of
the party, for the success of demo-
ciatic principles, for the protection
of home rule, for the defeat of the
force bill, and for the good of the
country, to vote for Hon. Ben E.
Russell.
This has the true Democratic
ring about it, and reflects great
credit on not only Chairman Mac
Intyre, but on every member of
the executive committee.
It is the duty of every Democrat
in the Second district to support
the nominee, and Mr. Stevens,
whose gallant contest for the nom
ination was viewed with interest
in every part of Georgia, set a
glorious examplo in pledging his
support to Mr, Russell, the nomi
nee, as soon as the Albany conven
tion had spoken. Than Mr. Stev
ens there is no bettor democrat iu
Georgia, and his action at Albany
is as complete a test as could be
required to demonstrate his fideli
ty and his courage.
* Hon. Ben Russell, the nominee,
is a gallant ex-confederate and has
been several times a member of
the state legislature. He has filled
various positions of public trust
and has made a state reputation
as a brilliant journalist. No truer
Democrat could have been selected
to carry the standard of the party,
and it is gratifying to observe the
earnestness with which his former
opponents are rallying to his sup
port.
Two weeks ago the situation in
the Second district was serious,
and boded no good to the Demo
cratic party. Disruption was
threatened and danger hovered
over the Albany convention. Now
the skies are clearer and Demo
cratic harmony prevails. The
nominee will be elected by a rous
ing majority, and Ben Russell will
represent the Second district in
the next congress.
Such a happy termination of the
turbulent contest in the Second is
exceedingly gratifying, and to no
one is more credit due for the har
mony prevailing than to Hon. O.
B. Stevens, of the county of Ter
rell—Constitution.
Peck’s SI1TCT}’ Bill.
Mr. W. L. Peek, the Third Party
candidate for governor of Georgia,
was in the Senate of Georgia in
1S87 and while there made some
records which he would give a
great deal now to blot out. Among
other things he introduced what
has passed to history as Peek’s
Slavery Bill—a bill which would
have virtually re-enslaved every
colored man and enslaved every
white man who does not own and
work his own land.
But the Bill itself as introduced
by the great (?) Third Partyite
speaks for itself. Review it, poor
men of Georgia and say in the
light of intelligence whether you
will support with your free suf
frages such a man for Governor of
your state.
In the Senate of Georgia, on the
7th of July, 1886, Mr. Peek, of the
27th District, introduced the fol
lowing bill:
An act to he entitled an act to
make it unlawful for any person
or persons who receive advances
upon a contract to work the lands
of anotiier in the capacity of ren
ter, cropper, or for standing
wages and failing to comply with
said contract without good and
sufficient cause and to prescribe a
penalty for the same. Section 1.
Be it enacted by the general
sembly of the state of Georgia,
That from and after the passage of
this act, that any person or persons
who may receive advances upon
contracts to work the lands of
another, either in the capacity, of
renter, cropper, or for standing
wages, and shall fail to comply
with tho same without good and
sufficient cause, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
thereof shall bo punished as pro
vided in section 4705 of the code
of this state.
Section 2. Be it further enacted
That either a written or parole con
tract shall bo lawful and when a
person or persons enter on the
promises of another, he, she, or
they shall bo presumed to bo un
der contract to the controller of the
premises and the furnishing, of
houses, fuel, clothing, provisions,
stock, guano of money, shall all or
either be considered as advances
under this act and that no contract
under this act shall be of force
longer than one year.
“Section 3. Be it further enacted
that any person or persons owning
or controlling land or farms enter
into a contract and make advances
to either cropper, renter or persons
for wages, failing to comply with
their contract without good and
sufficient cause, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor and upon a convic
tion thereof be punished as pre
scribed in section 4705 in the code
of this state.
Section 4. Be it further enacted
that all laws and parts of laws in
conflict with this act be repealed
Tho author and introducer of
this bill is W. L. Peek, now the
Third party candidate for governor
of Georgia.
It will be seen that in this bill
the word of the landlord becomos
superior to that of the tenant.
In an indictment of the tenant
for a breach of contract, the land
lord can testify and the tenant, be
ing a defendant, cannot.
To make the conduct of Mr.
Peek even stronger against the
tenant, it is on record that he voted
against an amendment which
sought to limit this proposed bill
to written contracts only, and yet
Mr. Peek is to-day posing in the
state of Georgia as the great
friend of tenants.
Death of a Little Girl.
The Democrat.—Little Hattie,
a nine-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. M. C. Johns, was taken
very suddenly last Thursday with
congestion of the brain. Dr. A. L.
Hand was called to her and tried
hard to save her, but did not suc
ceed. She was called from this
life on the following Friday at ten
o’clock p. ra., and is now dwelling
with the angels above. Hattie
was the only daughter of Mr. Johns
and was the pet of the household.
She was naturally a very bright
child, and had been well trained.
The two combined was the cause
of her attractiveness and being
loved by everyone that knew her.
She had been going to school pre
vious to her illness and took great
interest in her studies, also loved
and obeyed her teacher. She took
one of the highest prizes in her
class at the close of last year’s
term of school and was working
earnestly to win the same at the
close of the present term, but alas!
the unexpected call prevented.
Mr. and Mrs. Johns have the sym
pathy of all their neighbors and
many friends in the loss of their
dear and only little daughter.

My friend we want you to sit
down and reason the thing out for
yourself. Don’t do this reasonin
out after you have been in a heated
discussion w-ith one of your neigh'
bors or acquaintances who is of the
same political faith of yourself, nor
after having a wrangle with some
one who is of the opposite political
faith of yourself, but when no one
is about, when no one has been
arguing pro or con with you, put
ting every bitter feeling out of
your heart and every unpleasant
memory engendered by discussion
out of your mind, laying your hand
upon your heart as a patriot, un
biased by prejudices, thinking only
of tlie good of your country and
the effect that your action may
have upon your people, now and
hereafter, answer truthfully, had
you rather that the republican par
ty with its high tariff, its force bill,
its class legislation and all of its
iniquitous measure be in power, or
had you rather see the democratic
party in power? You know the
record of both. If compelled to
take either, which would you take?
It is no use to dodge this question.
It is no use to beat about the bush,
you are going to live either under
a democrat or republican admini
stration, one or the other. It maks
no difference what your politics is,
one or the other of the two parties
mentioned will administer this
government for the next four year,
no matter what vote you cast, if
you cast it not for the democratic
party you enhance the republican
chances for success, just that
much
Your intentions may be ever so
good, you may be radically opposed
to republicanism as we are, but you
become their ally the moment you
cast a ballot against democracy.
