CRAWFORD COUNTY. GA., FRIDAY, JULY 8.
Mr. Champion Makes an Appeal for
Party Harmony.
Come back to true Democracy, come
back; now is the accepted time.
As much has been written and said
for and against the Third party through
the columns of the Hbbald, I take this
opportunity of giving you a few dots
from the old Sixth, and in the outset I
am glad to state that the Third party
fever don’t seem to be contagious here.
We had only two cases in the district,
which, however, recovered without treat¬
ment. They have, like little men. come
back to the fold, and acknowledged the error
of their way received the right
hand of fellowship. God grant that
others may do likewise. Let us have
harmony : we need no new parties. If I
could see the necessity of it, and could
see where it would give a better govern¬
ment to all classes than the Democratic
party gave four years, I would certainly
fall in line and espouse the cause as much
as any one, but 1 can’t tee it. There is
no hope of success with them. Their
leaders are men that people are afraid to
trust, and they are getting up strife and
enmity among the people, father against
son and son against, father, brother
against brother, and so on. They do
not seem to make war on the Republican
party, but lay all the blame at the door
of the Democrats. Now I do not claim
that all Democrats are angels, but I do
claim that they had no chance in the
short time that they were in power to
undo all the wrongs that had been per¬
petrated on the laboring classes for the
last thirty years by the Republican party
In fact they have never controlled all
branches of the government; at the same
time they did well under the circum¬
stances, for when Mr. Cleveland was
President we had a Republican congress.
Now we have a Democratic congress and
a Republican president. In this way the
thing drags along in the same old chan¬
nel. They also claim that the Demo¬
cratic party is the party of Wall street.
This I deny, i\nd ask for their evidence.
It is a known fact that a majority of the
Democratic party lias always denounced
and fought plutocratic politics, notwith¬
standing the party contains some money
sharks who frequently bring about cor¬
ruption and fraud by the power of filthy
lucre. This is only a natural conse¬
quence of all parties. It is especially so
with the Third party. It was born
in corruption and siu, and is being es-
poused by corruptionists. It was born
on \y a [; street, with Mrs. Lease as its
mama, and the Republican party as its
and is nursed and
cared for by hired nurses who receive a
stipulated salary. It also has a regular
appointed guardian in every state. We
will only name Georgia, who everybody
will know is Mr. Post. We also name
as Georgia's nurses, Peek, Watson, Wynn,
and others. But right here let us say a
little concerning Messrs. Post and Wat
son. Who is this man Post and
where does he hail from?
Is he from Georgia or any other south¬
ern state?
“Oh, no; neitheir is he now, or ever
was in sympathy with the Southern peo¬
ple. He is a Northern carpet-bag nation repub
lican. Put such men in power of
al i. If airs and in ten years we will have
a monarchy or (something wors?,
the force bill and negro supremacy
you will see proud old Georgia bowe l
down in shame and disgrace and the
white children of the laud in order to get
their pro rata share of the school fund
will be lorced to stand along side of ne¬
gro children in the same school room and
recite the same lesson.”
“How about 3Ir. Watson?”
“lie is a traitor of the deepest die,and
were justice vindicated would receive a
coat of tar and feathers. Unsuccessful
as a lawyer, he sells his few volumes of
| aw Looks, denounces the practice alliance, as a
hum.-ug, joines the farmers
rides into congress on the backs of the
democratic alliance, shuts the door in
their lace and flops over to the third
paity and leaves his constituents without
a representative in congress. But ’ere
long Tommie will receive a black eye in
the South. With Grover Cleveland as
president we had four years of economi-
cal administration. Vagabonds and
thieves who had been placed in fa* offices
by his predecessors were speedily appointed re-
moved aud respectable men and m
their places, salaries reduced some
unnecessary offices were abolished and
the exnenditure of the government four so
that at the expiration of
veais we had the greatest surplus in the

bm. ***•**; He is
no partisan nor does he allow any one to
dictate to him what he should do. He
was convinced that free coinage just at
that time would be detrimental to the
country. When told that it would de¬
feat him in his next election, exclaimed
all right, that he had rather be defeated
and know he was right than to be presi
dent and know he was wrong. They also
claim that he allowed his secretary to de¬
posit one hundred and sixty million dol¬
lars in a bank without interest, b0 3 he
did for a short time while the vaults
were undergoing repairs at Washington
and the banks give sufficient bond for
the same. Now what became of all this
money and more besides. It was re¬
placed before he left the White House to
be gobbled up by little Ben Harrison’s
crowd in less than two yeaas
and paid out in pensions to every tederal
soldier that received any kind of wound
from a briar scratch up. Then the peo¬
ple were called upon for more, which has
been used to defray the expenses of the
third party. Those very nurses mention¬
ed above come in for their share. The
republican party leaders saw that if
something was not done soon they would
b? numbered with things of the past.
Thev also saw the channel open through
the alliance by which they could get in
their dirty work. The result was the
third party was born. I am not making
war on the alliance, for I think it started
out with good intention, but has been
greatly imposed upon by allowing them¬
selves dragged into politics by chronic
office seekers. I notice that one of
the third party champions claims
that their platform contains identi¬
cally the same plank as the
Democratic in the same article he makes
the assertion thatthereis no difference in
a Democrat orja Republican, that i h- ir
platforms are the same. Now, any six¬
teen year old boy that’s worthy of the
name of Georgian is familiar with the
two main issues that divide Democrats
and Republicans, and as to the Third
party platform it’s as changeable as the
moon; every time a half dozen of their
disciples assemble in convention they
change it in some way. We not only
find the leaders in the State disgruntled
office-seekers, but come on down to coun
ty politics, and you find the leaders of
the Third party are men that want office
and can’t get it on the old line, con¬
sequently we find them in nests, for most
any man will have some following. He
convinces some of his neighbors and
friends that he is right. Craw-
ford county has two of those
nests, one in Webbs district
and one in the third district, but from all
accounts the riest-eggs are rotten, an !
wh it few sound eggs the nest contains
are being taken back under the wings of
Democracy. I have also heard one say
that the Southern people should not
trouble themselves about national p li-
tics, that there was no difference between
a Northern Democrat and Republican.
Well, where ignorance is bliss it is folly
to be wise. I am not surprised at such
men joining the Third party, they are
weak in the upper story. I served Uncle,
Sam as U. S. mail clerk nearly four years,
and while under Cleveland had a pleasant
time, with honorable white men to deal
and associate with; not so after Harris->n
came in. And, to illustrate, we will
take the city of 3Iacon, there are
thirteen clerks who run in and out ami
spend their lay-off there, We find
only three of them white men,
aud ten colored brethren. We a so find
a majority of the carriers in the city are
negroes appointed to those positions over
white applicants by a Republican is differ- post-
master. Still they say there no
ence. Nmv such will be the case so long
as the Republican* are in power and they
an* bound to stay in power if the Third
party succeeds in their undertaking to
split the Democratic party. So my
friends, come back; let ine implore you
to come back to the grand old party. T
is the same to-day that it was iu the days
of Jefferson. It ever stands ready to
especially the laboring .
protect all classes,
clas*. We need no new parties. Come
back; we are waiting. G.

A Big Bay for Roberta.
In response to an invitation from the
citizens of Roberta, a large crowd assem¬
bled in that quiet little town on last Fri¬
day to participate in the spenkimr and
other exercises of the day. By unani¬
mous consent H<>n. William Rutherford
was made chairman of the meeting, an I
in accepting the same he thanked the
audience for the honor conferred upon
him.
M*yor A. J. Danielly made the address
of welcome, and in suitable aud very up-
propriate language he threw the nates
wide open and turned the city over to
those present for the day. There were
not as many of the old vets present as
was expected, but those present seemed j
to be overjoyed at luving met in a re j
union to recall to mind the happenings
of days gone M.’Hawks by. of j
Hon. \V. was the orator
the day. It is seldom that the people of
this county have an opportunity to enjoy
such an oratorical feast. In delivery,
sentiment and eloquence the addres« j
could not well be surpassed. How a
Toird partyite can persist in his cause af- '
ter hearing such facts and reasoning we
are unable to understand. He indulged
m no abuse, but only plead for dinner the prodi
gal sons to come back. The was
sumptuous aud bountiful. After dinner
Rev. G. W. White occupied the stand
for about an hour and a half. He made
a good address. He was bitter against
the old Democratic party, because he
showed that some of its members
had in times gone by voted as he con
ce«icd to be wrong, and others had been
recreant to their trust. He showed that
New r \*ork, Pennsylvania and increased some oth in ’r
manufacturing States had
wealth from four to ten times as much as
t he South. Although he knew it, he
would not tell that the Cause of this was
Republican pension laws and h'gh tariff,
We pay the pension and tariff money,
but none of it stops south of Mason and
Dixon’s line.
3Ir. Wynn, of Fort Valiey, followed
Mr. White, and completely met and over-
threw his arguments. The day passed off
pleasantly uTali and will long* be
bered.
