God's word tells os that "a house divided against itself cannot stand,"and lias ever nfovenjtho asser tion true and will to tho end of time. .So a people divided against them selves not only will not stand hut will not prosper, for God has decreed it so. According to history our American people seeks promotion, and when they become unpopular in one party go about to set up a god of their own and call it a political- party.

Tlio l’ooplfi KicctrLIcd by thfl Kloquonco of fitiurry, Homer mid Turn* •* i»r—A Mont Excellent Dlmior, The Gazettis is held over, a day that it might carry to its readers the first report of tlio magnificent demo cratic rally and barbecue to-day un der the auspices of the Valdosta District democratic club. Tho day was a moBt auspicious one; a thin cloud overshawowed the sun sufficiently to break tlio force of its rays, and still not dense enough to send a shower of rain to mar the exercises of the day, A big crowd was there, ljpt loss than six hundred voters from Horrien county, ftp equal number from Brooks, mid a line representation from Col quitt, Irwin, Coi'feo, Ware, Clinch and Echols counties. The democra cy of Lowndes county was out in full numbers. Competent judges say that thero was not less limn six thousand people present, mid surely four thousand voters. There was quite a sprinkling of third parly people and straddlers present, and they wore handled by the speakers kindly and gently, but witli lirumuHs. Tho speaking oocnrod under a tre mendous arbor that had been provid ed mi tlie w est side of the court house and where seats sufficient to accommo date three thousand people Imd been prepared, Capt. W. M. Ilammond, of Thom- asville, was the lirst speaker intro. Sliced, and people ’who have heard his matchless eloquence can imagine what a,grand speech lie made under tlie inspiration of such a yast audience.

The objections third parly people are making to the principle! mid poli cy of tho demoeralic party were taken tip scriuliin and answered, tho speaker showing that tlieso objec tions have no foundation in fact ami were utterly untrue. He said they wore the cunningly devised sophisms of tho enemies of southern democra cy hatched up for tlio speoifio purpose 'of bringing division mid ultimate destruction of tlio solid south, lie conjured those who,— following tlie lead of republican emisaricsi of tho stripe of Weaver, and Simpson, and’ Lease, and Boat,—had gone-out of the democratic ranks, to. come hack to tlie old party of tho fathers make common cause with democratic com patriots against the oppressions of centralized power its taught and practiced by tlie republican party, tie urged them to come back to the good old ship of democracy, with that safe ainl gallifnt captain) ilrovor Cleveland, proudly treading tho quarter deck, and help to steer her safely into pors with a glorious victo ry, He closed with one ofTlis brightest perorations. Ifon. Dtil’onl Guorry, of Maeoii, was the second speaker, ami lie made otic of ins characteristic conservative mid vote-winning addresses. Ho started out with tho statement that it. was, indeed, humiliating to him to lie called poll to go out upon the hustings charged with tlie duty of defending democratic principles and conduct, among people who had boon nurtured and feared in tlio very lap of dumctnrauy. The thought was appalling that men who had grown gray in tlm service of the doi^oorntiu party giving ajd mid com fort to a political party, witli none save office- seekers apd adventurers in thole,ad, founded and fostered upon false charges against nnd-inisrepreaenttions of tho democratic party mid her lead ers. He then proceeded !o analyse the charges made by tlio so-called people’s parly against democracy and.to show % indisputable proof front tlio record tlmt these charges were false. Ho showed that the republican party alone was responsi ble for adoption of the national bunk ing system, tlie demonetization of silver, and so on through the long list of republican abuses and oppress- ioti** vrhich tho -people’s party was now vtfrtoavofing to fasten upon democracy. He. also, liemoehed those who had gone off witli the third party, to take heed to’theylevi- ous way they went going. It would be fruitful of nothing but remorse and regret. He was listened to witli rapt attention and Ids speech was perhaps the most effective speech of the day. Dinner was annonncod at tho close of Mr. G Perry's address, and there was a superabundance of good tilings for all present. Tho barbecue was a great success. ■ Tlio first speaker after dinner was Hon. - Robert L. Berner, of Forsyth, lie soomed to ho in a most happy frame of mind and greeted his audi ence with a smilo, which ho main- taljiod until near the close of his brilliant address, when lie reafchcd the serious pars and piled facts upon facts to maintain the premises lie had assumed. lie said the speakers pre ceding had left him little to do but exhort the people wiio had gono off after tho new-born heresies of tlie third party to come back to the party of their fathers as did tho prodigal son of Holy Writ. lie would guar antee that tlie fatteaj calf would bo killed and a feast prepared, and that the robe of forgiveness would be put about their shoulders; there was one promise ho would not make— that they would bo clothed witli dea cons’ mid stewards’ orders (office) immediately upon their return. He made a proposition that would give an idea of the composition of the audience: all who were democrats to hold up their bands and vice versa ; only one man Imd the moral courage to announce allegiance to tho third party although there were others in tlie amliynco known to bo in sympa thy witli tlie heresy. lie pitied a party or body of men who would declare intelligence, temperance and virtue to be secondary to tlio ques tions of finance, transportation mid land as was Reduced in the people's party platform, when thu very strength and stability of our free government depended solely upon tlie intelligence, temperance and virtuo of llio people. Ho was not amazed at tlie leaders of such n party instructing their benighted fol lowers to talk about finance in this campaign to tho exclusion of those weightier matters of tariff reform, Federal control of elections, popular education mid kindred topics. Hu showed from the record- how demo crats Imd voted upon all the ques tions which formed the issues involv ed in this campaign, fully oxhonerat- ing tlie leaders of the party from all tile unjust and unkind imputations made against them by the republican party and its allies—.one of which was tlie people’s parly. The only result of tlio third party would lie to assist tho republican party in its su premacy ami control of tlio govern incut ami a continuation of reckless and extravagant administration of its affairs. Hon. IL G. Tumor, nominee for congress from the oloventh district, was the next spsakcr, and ho detain ed the audience but a few minutes, presenting forcibly mid effectively the issues of tlie campaign by means of a few , simple object lessons. In this way lie showed tho fallacy of the republican effort to wipe ottt tlio color line, destroy tho barriors justly reared* against- race amalgamation, and sustain the damning policy of race intermnrringe. He also illusti-a- trated tho inconsistency and oppres- sISn of tlio tariff laws in tlio same way. to xamlno tho goods tlmt will bo displayed on SEPTEMBER 24, Are those who lisvo traded long with us.
