Determined Opposition to the
Sub-Treasnry Scheme
Developed at a Georgia Con¬
gressional Convention.
Rev. Dr. Felton, the “Old Man Eloquent,"
Nominated in the Seventh District, Ex¬
presses HI. Disapproval Especially of
the Sub-Treasnry Plan, but Secondarily
Opposes tl»© Alliance.
Rome, Ga., Sept. 5.—Already interest
in the move of opposition to the Alliance,
started nt the congressional convention
here Wednesday, lias extended even be¬
yond the. borders of the state, and will
doubtless be discussed throughout the
nation.
A large proportion of the delegates
were farmers, and though the control of
the convention was quickly secured by
the xm ti-Alliance faction, the proceed¬
ings passed with unanimity and enthusi¬
asm.
The Ake key note was sounded when Chair¬
man called the body to order. He
declared that he was a farmer, but that
the Democratic party in his district was
now confronted and threatened by an
organization made up of Democrats and
some Republicans—one wing holding up
the sub-treasury banner, and the other
wing ids resting under the flag of Tom Reed
and minions. “We, as a Democratic
party,” combinations, he said, “are against classes and
and we are against any
adopt legislation the for one class alone. Shall we
new creed of this mongrel or¬
ganization Republican as a panacea for all the evils
under misrule ? History, in
it, is but repeating itself, and we see the
unassuming into the farmer crafty politician, rapidly blossoming
out so eager
for office that he will not wait until his
country calls him, but rushes forward
and offers himself ujxni her altars.”
Dr. Felton was nominated as “a living
monument to the opposition being waged
against Democratic principles and the
nomination vus made unanimous.
The candidate was introduced,thanked
the convention for the honor conferred,
and pledged his best endeavors for suc¬
cess.
The Alliance Denounced.
The sensation of the day was the man¬
ner in which tho doctor handled the Al¬
liance. He enjoys the distinction of be¬
ing the the first candidate to give battle to
organization itself.
“I love the farmers,” said he, “and I
accept of this nomination to warn them
of the demagogues seeking to despoil
them. I have seen grand men rushing
into tliis Alliance, an organization de¬
signed ning demagogue. to rob for the benefit of the cun¬
“I am a farmer, but I have lived long
enough to know that there are other in¬
dustries and occupations as essential and
as much to be protected as miuo ; I have
lived long enough to know that when
you injure one you injure all.
Iiiter<l«|>©ndence of Interest.
“All occupations are separate, but the
mutual sympathy of each makes it de¬
pendent injure upon the other. Injure one and
hamper you all, hamper one and you
all. The products of agriculture
need the polishing and refining touch
that only the manufacturer and the ar¬
tisan can give. The industries in the
south are one vast brotherhood.
doctor, “Thirty years ago,” exclaimed the
“when company after company,
battalion after battalion were wheeling
into line, where is the soldier who turned

rade, are you a lawyer ? Comrade, are

a blacksmith ? Comrade, are you en¬
gaged Where in anything soldier but agriculture?’
was the who would have
thrust out of ranks any brother soldier

to follow a different calling ?

“Now, when you should stand united,
shoulder to shoulder, comes this secret

The doctor then among show

to the star-
chamber of England, the Spanish inqui¬
sition und the Venitian council of ten.
“When America was forming her con¬
stitution, she resolved that no secret po¬
litical organization can exist here. Some
years ago, in this country, we had the
know-nothings. The members had their
grips, lantern signs aud passwords, and in dark-
corners met and examined into
the character of men. They resolved
that no foreigners should hold office in
America, forgetting, that our forefathers
were the land foreigners, forgetting that and this was
of the free,the refuge clime home
for the oppressed of every and na¬
tion. The craze swept over Georgia,
penetrating every nook and corner, but
in twelve months it died, and its carcass
became a stench in the nostrils of all
freemen.

“I am told,” continued the doctor,
“that when a man wants an office now,
he writes to a friend of mine in Newton

up to see him soon with a little
