Kl\ PAGES.
In order to accommodate all who
tlesire to advertise this fali and winter
wo have decided to add one more page
to the Breeze, and, perhaps, two.
The managers of the paper have
been compelled to reject a few good,
cash paying, advertisements recently
owing to the crowded condition of our
columns. While we dislike to turn oil
advertisers we are bound to reserve a
certain number of columns for news.
Our readers want the news and wo do
not propose to disappoint them by
tilling all our space with advertise
ments. Therefore, in order to do
justice to our business and not de
crease our number of news columns,
we will, commencing with our issue
of September 4th, enlarge the Breeze
to a six column paper.
We are determined to keep fully
abreast of the times. Improvement
shall be our watchword until the
Breeze becomes the best weekly news
paper in the Brunswick circuit.
Douglas is growing and Coffee coun
ty is prospering and the Breeze must
grow and prosper with them.
The populist state conventions of
the west are going the national con
vention “one better” by endorsing
Bryan straightout, without mention
ing Watson.
CAMPAIGN KI NKS.
The information is very reliable
that a campaign fund of ton million
dollars has been made up by the mil
lionaire manufacturers of the Repub
lican party to elect McKinley. They
declare that this is a “campaign of
education” and that this enormous
fund is raised to pay fpriuters’ bills
and provide campaign orators; but
the corrupt uses to Which this
corrupt party has put their
money in the past is sufficient to con
vince all fair minded and observing
people that they are up to some gigan
tic piece of devilment. It may not
be a “blocks-of-five” scheme, or a ne
gro colonization scheme, but you may
depend upon it it is something equal
ly as pernicious and unfair.
As the democratic party is made up
of the poorer classes from whom the
millionaire republicans have squeezed
and robbed their wealth, the democrat
ic orators will have to content them
selves with the inspiration that comes
jof the knowledge of the justice of
! their cause.
j If Billy Bryan, the boy orator of the
I Platte, gets straight behind Mark
| Hanna and his man McKinley in this
! campaign, and they are given a fair
hearing before the voters (not the pol
iticians] their ten million dollar cor
ruption fund will avail but precious
little.
Corruption funds are dangerous
I things and the party that raises one
' should be relegated to innocuous des
uetude.
We admire young Cornelius Van
derbuilt's courage and independence.
He loved Miss Wilson more than be
did his dad’s ducats.
CAMPAIGN LIES.
The campaign liar is abroad in the
land. The report that Chairman
Jones ol the National Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee, went to the Pop
ulist and Silver conventions in St.
Louis and made a bargain with the
bosses of these conventions which
resulted in the endorsement of Bryan,
the democratic nominee for president,
is answered by Mr. Jones, in an inte
view, as follows:
With regard to the insinuation of
W. L. Peek, in the Atlanta Journal
of recent date, that he (Jones) had ex
pressed willingness to sacrifice Sewall
and urge Watson’s nomination, the
senator said it was utterly baseless.
Hi' had received a note from Mr. Peek
stating that Watson’s nomination
would be the salvation of Bryan, and
he had not answered it or paid any
attention to it. lie had been in St.
Louis during the populist conven
tion, lmt had never gone to any of its
sessions, nor participated in its work.
Thus it will lie seen that there was
no trading between the democrats
through Jones, its representative, and
tin) pops and silverites at St. Louis,
but that Bryan was endorsed through
and by the influence of that class of
populists, who,predominating in their
conventions, really want free coinage
of silver and not self aggrandizement.
If Peek and bis crowd of office seek' rs
could have had their way Bryan
would never have been endorsed
and McKinlecy’s election would
have been made sure.
Democrats, stand to your colors.
Populists, you cannot force Watson
on us. That is out of the question.
Now, whom do you prefer, Sewall or
Hobart? “You pays your mono) and
takes your choice.”
Come in out of the wet, Uncle Ligc.
Again the rumor comes from Wash
ington that Hoke Smith has resigned
his cabinet, position,
Alabama went democratic world
without end. The majority was some
thing like thirty or forty thousand.
The average populist will gulp sev
eral times before be swollows the pro
hibition plank in the populist platform.
Bryan and Sewall weie formerly
notified of their nomination, at Mad
ison Square garden, New York,
Wednesday.
A lodge of Mys'ic Shriuers, com
posed only of thirty-second degree
masons, will be organized in Savan
nah in October.
lion. W. G. Brantley will address
the voters of Coffee county at Douglas
on Saturday, August the 29th. Will
Brantley is a logical reasoner and an
eloquent speaker. Remember the
date and be on hand.
The prohi-populi platform will be a
dismal failure. The populists of this
state lia-e always opposed prohibition,
and the prohibitionists are all cx-dem
ocrats. therefore it is plain that these
i two parties cannot fuse successfully.
The Eleventh district populist con
vention convened at Baxley Tuesday
to nominate a candidate for congress.
The general opinion is that H. W.
Reed of Brunswick w ill be the sacrifice.
Washington would not be a very con
genial place for him and we advise him
to give up his hopes of Washington
, and strive for Heaver*. It's a better
place.
Hear Will Brantley speak on the
29 inst,
The . jad of the Populist party is
gone, and the tail is dragging.
Sewall will be vice-president wheth
er the populists endorse him or not.
1 he State Democratic convention of
Mai ne adopted a free silver platform,
Hon. \\. G. Brantley, democratic
candidate for congress, is speaking at
Blackshear to-day.
If our populist friends really desire
to see free silver win, they know how
they can assist in the victory.
The democrats swollowed one end
of the Populist party and the prohibs
are swollowing at the other, it seems.
The Pops in Coffee had four negroes
on their nominating committee. May
be Jones heard of this incident.—Val
dosta Times.
Col. Frank Harris, of Tampa, form
erly of Brunswick, Ga., is the populist
nominee for attorney general down in
the state of Florida.
The Populist party is without a can
didate for president. They have
endorsed Bryan and thlsy might as
icy
Si-wall. ■■■l
Richard Parks Bland,
prominent candidate for
ic nomination for prcsidi
ed his sight and is now a
congress.
It is a case of strain
with the populists and r
Coffee. Our pops prove
ness of Chairman Jones
the average Southern
longed with the negroes,
not resent it anvway.
An exchange says an uMMPUHP
approached by a book agent who want
ed to sell a cyclopicdia. He surprised
the agent by telling him that he
“would not have one of the darned
things about the house, and if he
caught one of his girls trying to ride
one of them he would whip her until
she couldn’t sit on it.”
The populists of Coffee county are
giving the Breeze what Paddy gave
the drum this week for exposing the
demagogic tricks which they arc using
to catch the negro vote. Let ’em rave;
we are not in the apologizing business
this year. They are using disgraceful
methods and the Breeze is guaranteed
the rights of free speech.
Rev. Dr. Talmage, who has been on
a visit to the south, says he iinds the
free silver sentiment in this section to
be very strong. But, contrary to the
notions of some of his northern friends
it does not threaten the ruin of the
government. “Whichever side wins,”
says Dr. Talmage. “The country will
be alright; the question will be settled
one way or the other, and confidence
and prosperity will be restored.” The
Doctor is a very hopeful man.
Mr. Dan Lott is bartering the peace
and tranquility of the entire Lott fam
ily by opposing his brother for the
legislature. His brother was in the
field a month or more before lie was
even solicited by the populists to make
the race on their ticket. Democrats
should treat Mr. Lott with all due res
pect but use all honorable means to
make his defeat as overwhelming as
possible.
