Clark Howell tells the national Democratic campaign committee that in Georgia the Democracy is better organized than in any other Southern State. This is certainly the case in Spalding, where the first systematic attempt at a campaign is now being successfully made. Last night Hon. Joe James was greeted with a large audience at Patterson’s hall here and made a telling speech. Governor Atkinson spoke to one of the biggest audiences ever assem bled in Macon, who applauded to the echo. There will be a big Democratic rally at Jenkinsburg, Buttrill’s dis trict, on Saturday night, September 19th. Prominent speakers will be pre sent and a club will be organ ized. Every Democrat in the dis trict is cordially invited to be pre sent. An enjoyable occasion is an ticipated. Walter B. Hill has returned from Clarksville, but he is not yet prepar ed to say whether he will accept the Populist nomination for State sena tor. The Populists express them selves as confident that he will ac cept. Congressman Bartlett says he will carry every county in the Sixth dis taict. He expects to be re-elected by a large majority. T. J. Carling, who has been in the State of Ohio about two weeks, writes to friends id Macon that the outlook for Democratic success in that State and throughout the West is very bright. He says the silver sentiment m Ohio is tremendous and keeps growing. There is much enthusiasm among the Democrats. A Rockmart correspondent writes that the speeches by Governor At kinson and Congressman Maddox Tuesday were among the best ever heard in the county and that many Populists, who were prior to that time strong and influential support ers of Wright, will vote for the Democratic State ticket. Hon. Alex. Atkinson, our distin guished candidate for State senator from Jenkinsburg, was in the city yesterday in consultation with Dem ocratic leaders. He is sanguine of a large majority in the district and strong in his praise of the effective organization in this?county. He ex pects to speak here in a short time." Bucklen’B Arnica Salve.

It was a large and enthusiastic crowd that greeted Col. Joe James Friday night, Patterson’s hall being nearly full. The orator pitched right into business from the start, and gave a rough and ready speech that made the crowd yell. Col. T. W. Flynt occupied a front seat and very kindly put Populist questions that the speaker had led up and that were dead easy to effectively answer, much to the divertisement of the audience. The colonel was finally induced to take the platform for ten minutes, and after accusing Colonel James of avoiding the issue proceed ed to talk past history till the boys called him down. Colonel James then called attention to the incon sistency of the Populists in continu ing to attack the Democratic party after their convention had nominat ed the same candidate for the presi dency. But the most telling point in Mr. James’ speech was his reference to the prohibition record of Seal) Wright, the Populist-prohibition candidate for governor, who led the fight for prohibition in Rome some time back until a few days before the election, when he deserted the prohibitionists and joined the anti prohibition faction in order to be chairman of the Dem crratic party in Floyd and thus be ready for further political preferment. It was abont this time that he approached Judge Harris, of Rome, and offered him a thousand dollars to use his influence to get Scab in congress. Mr. James re peated these statements twice, and asked anybody w 7 ho doubted them to telegraph to Rome the next day and find out. The speaker read over the State ticket, showed what the administra tion had done for the State in the past two years and asked why these men should be put out of office for a new and untried set of a new and untried party. He spoke about an hour and a half and his remarks were well received throughout. Many inquiries having been made to Hon. A. D. Candler, secretary of State, as to whether or not a notary public and ex-officio justice of the peace is competent uuder the law to manage elections in this State, he sought the official opinion of the at torney general in order to settle the question, Attorney General Terrell renders the opinion that such officers are authorized to superintend elections as fully as justices of the peace are. From Democratic stumps in Meri wether, the true doctrine is being proclaimed with telling effect. The Populist candidates are avoiding joint discussions. They are wise in this, for when a Democratic orator gets a whack at them the fur flies, and a discomfitted Populistic candi date is the result. Democrats should register. Only in this w r ay can they roll up a good majority in Georgia. This part of the campaign should not be neglect ed. Only three more days remain in which this important duty can be performed, and it should be attend ’ ed to at once. Eugene V. Debs, the leader of the American Railway union, who cre ated such an excellent impression here this summer, both on and off 1 the platform, has justified his own expressions and the good opinions of ; his friends by an address, signed also by the other directors, commending the Democratic platform and con cluding as follows: “We pledge our united and un ‘ wavering support to William J. Bryan and appeal to all railway employes and all workingmen to join with us in rebuking corporate ' tyranny." j CASTORIA ■ For Infants and Children.

WATSON SAYS HE’LL GO, BUT SEWALLSAYS HE WON’T. And There You Are—Watson Says Jones has Promised Sewall’s Withdrawal and By num Says That’s So. Denison, Tex., Sept. 11.—Tom Watson, Populist candidate for vice president, when here the other night, said to a reporter : “I have come all the way from Georgia to fight any deal that the Populists may attempt with the Republicans of Texas. If fusion is effected between Republicans and Populists, the rank and file will never submit; the politicians can not deliver the Populist party.” Watson lamented the indifference of Bryan toward the Populists, without whose votes, he said, Bryan cannot be elected. He was bitter against Sew’all, and declared that Sewall w 7 ould be forced off the ticket; that there was a perfect understanding to that effect between him and Chairman Jones. Bynum Says So, Too. Indianapolis, Sept. 11.—The head quarters of the national Democratic party will be removed either to the Victoria hotel or the Palmer house, Chicago, within the coming week or ten days. W. D. Bynum, the na tional chairman, returned from Chicago this morning. He will re main in Indianapolis until Saturday, when he will go to Louisville to be present at the notification of Palmer and Buckner. Nothing has been heard from General Palmer about the proposed short ’ Southern tour, but it is believed that h« will accept, the proposition. MF. Bynum said this morning : “It was said that Chairman Jones had been conducting a somewhat vi rulent correspondence with Mr. Sewall, in an effort to secure his withdrawal in order that the Popu list nominee, Watson, may have the field clear. It is believed that such a proceeding would fortify the Dem ulist ticket in the South. But Mr. Bryan crosses the pathway of Mr. Jones at this juncture and demands that Mr. Sewall remain on the ticket until after the New York conven tion, so that State will be more apt to endorse the Chicago ticket.” Mr. Bynum believes that immedi ately after the New 7 York State con vention Mr. Sewall will remove his name from before the public so far as being a vice-presidential nominee is concerned. The first unsolicited contribution to the Fourth party campaign came this morning from Mississippi. It was a draft for SIOO. But Sewall Says It Isn’t So. Bath, Me., Sept. 11.—Arthur Sewall came down to the Bath na tional bank, of which he is presi dent, for an hour this afternoon, and while there discussed the political situation for a few minutes with the Sun correspondent. Mr. Sewall said he had no desire to be interviewed. He has not given out any interviews, ' and but one statement of his position, that which was given the Sun re cently. ‘ ‘That covered the whole ground, ’ ’ said Mr. Sewall. “I have no idea of getting off the ticket, and I do not see that I could if I would. There is really nothing to add to my state ment as given out. ” It was intimated to Mr. Sewall that he might give some interesting information as to his relations -with the national committee, which had been variously pictured. He weighed the idea before answering and said: ‘ ‘My relations with the committee are pleasant. lam satisfied with them. My relations with Mr. Bryan are also pleasant. I hear from him frequently. He is to be in Boston the 25th, you know.” Mr. Sewall was asked if he wonld join Mr. Bryan in Boston, and re plied that he could not say at this time whether he would or not. The talk drifted around to Mr. Sewall’s letter to Mr. Bryan, which the na tional committee published. “That letter was written nearly two months ago, ” said Mr. Sewall “The committee had a right to print it. It gave my sentiments then, and they have not changed. ” Reference was made to Tom Wat son’s attacks on Mr. Sewall. The candidate smiled and said “Let him talk. I have nothing to say in reply. He may make silver votes, and that will help things. I am more interested in silver votes than in Sewall votes. ” Mr. Sewall was asked if he cared to make an estimate of the vote in Maine on Monday. “I do not care to give figures, ” he said. “Os course there will be a substantial Republican plurality. It is to be expected, with the resources of the Republican party in the State. With the speakers and money, it would be strange if they don’t have a good plurality. “I am satisfied with the showing the silver idea will make in Maine. Three months ago there were not 5,000 silver votes in Maine. If we poll 50,000 and that is a conservative esti mate, it will show a tremendous gain for silver, greater, as I wrote a friend to-day, than the proportion ate silver gain in any other State in the country. “Our State organization has done splendid work on the stump in spite of the difficulties with which it has had to contend. I shall not consider the Republican vote a blow to silver. The silver vote of Maine will speak for itself. ’ ’ Mr. Sewall closed the interview, which, he said, he wanted consider ed merely as an informal talk. Vaughn Ventures.
