constant In their drain, are eating
through the pillared basis of its strength

The demagogue is no new figure in the
galleries of history. He was in at the
start and he will doubtless be in at the
mighty force. Sometimes he climbs to
Congress and sometimes higher still, but
wherever runs his life away it is veined
with a selfishness as stout and strong as
the - corded cable that holds a vessel in
Atlantic storm—an active, busy, hust
ling, baneful figure in the politics of
nations, wasting in scheming enough of
energy to .work wonders of reform, and
in rascality enough of daring to reach
an honest fame—a sorrowful and shame
ful figure with public spirit shrunken
to a pimple and selfishness swollen to
tumor in liis heart. The antethesis ol'
patriotism, I hold him up to civic scorn
a publicist without a principle, and
citizen without an anchor in the
truth.
I call you to witness, ye thoughtful
men who have gone out from this Uni
versity, and touched elbow with all the
consorts of decay ,• that this spirit of the
demagogue is the steadiest foe to pro
nalist who is no less
anJ statesman.
than the orator
to power. But name one man like this,
and the heart of each hearer will go out
in tender protest toward some big-
brnined and noble fellow of the mould
and fiber of a statesman,
borne down in politics be
fore some smiling mediocrity who al

which in all the ages of the world had
won battles of forum and of fields.

truly sad that the majority of winners
in tlie political contests of the day suc

and that the manipulation of conven

nations of strength upon commercial
bases, outrank as winning forces those
old fashioned qualities of ability, integ

which men mounted in the davs of old
to usefulness and fame. And if this be
true at all, it is truer now than ever be

I daunting of the kid gloves and cleanly
man of brains and motive. Hem i ■ linen of a virtuous citizen as —-
on goverment. ne fashions broad poli
cies, and devises safe method for the con
duct of the state. He addresses himself
to patriotic reason and enlists the higher
springs of human actions to sustain his
views. Dignity, sincerity and unselfish
ness enfold him, and lifting the white
flag of truth above his cause, the patriot
hears it to honorable triumph or car
ries it with equal temper to unsliamed
defeat.
Ever opposite to this man, stands the
Demagogue. He does not look to the
zeus from the service of the State. Let
us contemplate these evils drifting from
his way.
I have shown you the methods by
which the demagogue of the wards
works his-way to triumph. Tlie cheap
appeals to passions, the plea of preju
dice, the stirring of the masses, the
hoodwinking of the classes, ami the
red rags
before the faces of the great unwash
ed. Sometimes—thank heaven! this
rot of tlemagogtigy fails, and the people
raise rebellion in their eominon sense.
I have shown yon that the resources of
the huckster are ample for this hour of
trial. The demagogue who perished
in chicanery is born again in hriliery,
and corruption is regnant where prej

race. His policy of campaign involves
the lower inpulses which stir his own
purpose and actuate his life. , He lias no
Itigh argument to address the reason,
no noble sentinent to reach the soul,and,
for lack of these, he rakes the ashes of
bitterness, and quickens the passion anil
prejudice of a class. Envy and spite
and discontent are stirred to the service
of his hope, and • where sophistry has
failed him, and prejudice is impotent
and passion dull, he gathers his energy
for the final rush, directs his weapon to

before the noisy demagogue, just as the

There are great questions looming up
against the horizon of the future.
There are brave words that must be
spoked without truculency and without
fear in that grand new capitol at At
lanta, and beneath the historic dome of
that greater capitol at Washington.
In the great crena of the nation must
lie debated the issue that involves the
integrity of raee and the safety of re
publican institutions. Both of these
are fronted with alarming «menace in
the swarming immigrants and isms
from across the seas. How . shall we
amalgamate this mighty foreign element
of discord and communism and revolu
tion into the virtuous body of our gov
ernment without an absorption of the
damnable evils that cohere ? And when
shall the importation of these insoluble
elements have an end ? Already one
brave and splendid citizen, linked here
after to patriotic fame, has smiled into
the face of frowning demagogue, and
called a halt to the great horde of mon
grel strangers knocking at onr gates,
even while he rebuked the arrogant
presumption that would have raised an
alien ' banner above the eyrie
of our star spangled flag. In
the broad unfearing spirit of tlie states
man Hewitt, welcoming every worthy
immigrant and barring every murder

and the teeming hills and fertile valleys
of the present South there hovers the
dark shadow of a sombre and surpassing
problem. The wisdom of ;God higher
than our own, has set it for the solution
of our people, and to this mighty prob
lem of the alien raees the young’men of
the South must bend themselves with
the cojdness of reason, the inspiration
of necessity, the fearlessness of states
manship, and compass it with the grand
travail of patriotic sacrifice. One man
at least who sits within the circle of
this presence has rea lized the issue that
strikes deeper than any theory of poli
tics and rises higher than the grasp of
partisanary. Into his big soul, lumi

Green Sapp, was tried and convicted of
murder at Waynesboro and on Saturday

The Reason Why
Ayer’s Pills are so popular is, that
while always reliable as a cathartic
medicine, they never leave otfp ill
effects. .This is because.they are purely
vegetable, and entirely free from calo
mel or any other dangerous drug. In
all cases, therefore, whether the patient
be old or young, they may be confi
dently administered.
In the Southern and Western States,
* where derangements of the liver are so
general, Ayer’s Pills have proved an in
estimable blessing. D. NY. Baine, New
Berne, N. C., writes:
“ I suffered a long time with stomach
and liver troubles. I tried various rem
edies, but received no benefit until 1
commenced taking Ayer’s Pills. These
pills benefited me at once, I took them
regularly for a few months, and my
health was completely restored.”
Throughout New England, next to
lung diseases, Stomach and Bowel
Complaints are the most prevalent.
Dyspepsia
and Constipation are almost universal.
Mr. Gallocher, a practical chemist, of
Boxbuiy, Moss., who was long troubled
with Dyspepsia, writes:
“A friend induced me *o try Ayer’s
Pills, andt after taking one box without
much benefit, I was disposed to quit
them; but be urged perseverance, and,
before I had finished the second box, I
began to experience relief. I continued
taking them, at intervals, until I had
used eleven boxes. Suffice it to say,
that I am now a well man, and grateful
to your chemistry, which outstrips
mine.”
