Thomasville, Ga., Sept. 24—
This has been a red letter day for
the demcraey of Thomas county.
By sunrise the clans had begun to
gather by horse mule, road cart
buggy, wagon and railroads. Five
thousand people were astir on the
streets. Providence favored by
sending a superb fall year after
the mists and rain. Cols Living
ston, and Ham and Gov. Northen
were known to be present, all hav
ing arrived early this morning.
The Young Men’s Democratic Club
was in charge. Snodgrass and
Merrill were very busy men. At
30 o’clock Dave Eliias, Jack
Cautright, Frank Hawkins wand
Monroe Lee, all on horseback, mar
shaled the crowd into line. All the
stors and offices had been closed.
The procession was headed by the
Jacksonville brass band. Demo
crats who belonged to no club came
next, marching two and two. Then
came a troop of small boys, ail
young democrats and next the Och-
lockonee Democratic Club, 109
strong; next the Cairo Democratic
Club, eighty-eight strong; then the
Thomas County Democratic Club,
followed by the Boston Democratic
Club with 100 men in line.
After these and closing the
marching column came the Young
Men’s Democratic Club. All the
clubs carried banners inscribed
with burning democratic mattoes.
Eight hundred men marched in
line. The distinguished speakers
and others brought up the rear in
carriages. The column marched
to Paradise park, and the orators
mounted the platform erected
among the pines. W. C. Snodgrass,
president of the Young Men’s
Democratic Club, introduced Gov.
Northen.

Gov. Northen began in a ringing
voice. “I am glad that the demo

with him, and she cut off 2£ inches.
Sallie herself, after thinking about
the matter, slipped out of the

In the dark days of reconstruction
every democrat was a hero to re
deem his county. I have no un
kind word, no abuse for those who
have gone astray. But I appeal to
them before they do so bold a thing
as to stab the heart of free govern
ment in America, to stop and con
sider should they succeed then ouly
despatism, dark despotism, would
settle down upon the country like
the blackness of night. I appeal
to you, third party people, to recon
secrate again yourselves to free
government and constitutional
right.” Gov. Northen was present
accidenally, and consequently his
speech was brief.
COL. HAM INTRODUCED.
After some lively music from the
band Col. S. G. McLendon intro
duced Col. II. W. J. Ham as a
gentleman who will hereafter need
no introduction to this people. Mr.
Ham began : “In the words of Col.
Habersham all Georgians are
neighbors, and all democrats are
friends. I am glad the people of
Thomas county are alive to the
issues of the day. It is flitting for
beautiful women to be present on
this occasion. If our men wore
only as patriotic as our women all
evil would fade away from our
land. I have always congratulated
myself that I was born a southern
er, and especially a Georgian. It
is well known that the south furn
ished the brains and wisdom that
founded this government, and
Georgia is the heart and soul of
the south. There were always
differences of opinion from the
times of Alexander Hamilton and
the federalists and Jefferson and
the democrats down to these pre
sent days. I will not discuss the
old parties, which xvill be handled
by those who come after me. But
I will turn my attention to those
new issues which have divided that
people which had hitherto always
stood together for government.
THE TARTY OF THE PEOPLE.
“The old Democratic party is
the only party that has always
been the party of the people. 1
would make the new People’s par
ty take down the sign of stolen
goods found in its possession.
Every single element opposed to
the Democratic party, every dis
cordant element from under the
sun, has been raked together to
form it. How could so motley a
crew accomplish anything j-ooc.
Show me the company yon. kept,
and the leaders, you follow, and
will tell you what you are. A
water and was sinking. He began
to pray, ‘O, Lord, I have never
stolen a horse, when he sank
When he rose again he continued
his prayers. ‘I have never burnt a
house nor run away with another
man’s wife.’ Again he sank
When he arose once more a mood
of repentance had come over him
and he said, ‘But, Lord God, what
a liar I have been,’ so when these
men come and telL you your alli
ance obligations you simply tell
them this story.
“Now let us say something about
the pension plank of the People’s
party. I have all respect for any
man who fights for what he con
ceives to be right, but of all the rob
beries that were ever perpetrated,
the pension robbery is the worst. I
have no objection to pensioning pa
triotic men who fought in the un-
ioff v army, but 1 do object pension
ing Hirelings from every clime un
oer the sun. In Chicago once a
man with no arms and no legs sat
with a pan in his lap begging for
alms. An old confederate soldier
passed by and dropped two silver
dollars in the pan. ‘Where are you
from?’inquired the maimed union
soldier. ‘From Georgia.’ ‘And you
fought in the confederate army?’
Yes.’ ‘Well, that is funny,’ said
the beggar. ‘No one up here puts
in more than a dime.’ ‘I do it cheer
fully,’ replied the man from the
south, ‘for you are the first one of
the scoundrels I ever saw trimmed
up to my notion.”
HE SKINS WEAVER ALIVE.
Mr. Ham then took np Weaver
and skined him. If the pension
plank was not in the party it was in
Weaver. Weaver was afflicted
with what Donn Platt calls the bad
breaking of the mouth. Weaver
was always running for something.
He had said a lot of things and had
got a record. He illustrared
Weaver with a parrot which, safe
upon its perch, was in the habit of
setting the dog on. The dog would
rush around and find nothing. One
day the parrot was on the ground
and began to cry: “Sick him ! sick
him !” Again the dog could find
nothing, when he turned upon the
parrot and tore it nearly to pieces.
The parrot, once more upon its
perch, communed with himself
thus: “You always did talk too
dura much with your mouth any
way.”
WEAVER TALKED TOO MUCH.
Weaver has always talked too
much with his mouth and still does
so. He is coming to Georgia to tell

If the Force bill should become
a law, it brings hack the horrors of
reconstruction days, and surrounds
our polling precincts with the bayo
nets of Federal troops. Of what
use then the ballot, when to cast it
against Republicanism means that
it will not be counted. What
chance will Democrats or Third
party men have to voice their
sentiments, when Republicanism
through its armed soldiery, through
fraud, and through corruption de
mands the victory whether won or
not?
In that day, which God grant may

armed with Federal authority, and
at the mercy of the wilder element

The shot gun will be returned to

It is best to take the safe side in

Peek’s Slavery BUI.
Mr. W. L. Peek, the Third Party
candidate for governor of Georgia,
was in the Senate of Georgia in
1887 and while there made some
record? which he would give
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 be entitled an act to
make it unlawful for any person
or persons who receive advances
upon a contract to work the lands
of another 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
Be it enacted by the general as
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 the same without good and
sufficient cause, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
thereof shall be 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 be lawful and when a
person or persons enter on the
premises of another, he, she, or
they shall be presumed to be 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 ln the code
of this state.
Section 4. Be it further enacted,
that all law’s and parts of laws in
conflict with this act be repealed.
The 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 becomes
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.
