Under tlio liuddiou* ma*k of a free

and fraud, sought to fasten upon u* a
system of taxes, tluanco and franchise

for tlio mnstoily tactics of that great
democrat, Senator Gorman, we would ho
confronted at our next federal election*
with bayonet rule.
An appeal was made to tlio country on
theso issues and a great democratic vic
tory followed. Tho south and west re
sponded as a rebuke to all three Issues,
tarill, tlnance and force.
The cast relinked the tarilf and force
issues, but was divided on the lloauce
Hence wo see in the Fifty-second con
gross a large majority for free and un
limited coinage of silver, but the measure
was defeated by a minority aided by a
solid republican vote. The party w.*.s
•olid for tariff reform and against the
force bill aud ail trusts and combines,
anil a large majority favored financial
reform. Then we can safely say that
the democratic party, as voiced by the
vote of its national representa'.lv
stands pledged tj the tarill and linanclal
reform and stands as the champion of
the people against all aggressions of
trusts and combines and cor|>oiate power,
and commits itself unmistakably to
homo rule and tbo Integrity of our civil!
ration. The question comes to us, who
constituted this great conservative force
that In a day hurled from power and
place these madmen who sought to im
poverish and enslave us? And the an
swer Is, they were the wealth-producers
of the land; they came from the farms
and tislds, and mines and anvils, ami
forges and spindles, and engines and
workshops—the men who were literally
obeying the Divine injunction, “from
the sweat of thy face tbou shall eat
bread.” A great schoolmaster bad been
abroad in the land, and around their qniet
hearthstones and in the shade of the
trees they had been studying political
economy and the science of government.
They saw that others were growing
rich off the products of their toll while
they were becoming poorer, and they
reasoned that “the laborer was worthy
of bis hire." They saw great protected
corporations amassing collosaal fortunes

and yet demanding reduction of wages
•They saw congested capital absorbing
their products at less than cost of pro
duction. They saw huge railroad enter
prises, under the patronage of govern
ment grants, extending their lines and
watering their stock, under unrestricted
traffic rates, and when in any of these
positions they complained and demanded
fair wages for honest work and organiz
ed for self-protection, armed Pinkertons
dispersed them. They rightly charged
the dominant party with all these evils,
and they joined the great party of the
people and hurled them from power.
They constituted themselves the great
democratic party anti they were and of
right should be, and they would be to
day but for the machinations of design
ing men.
The ring leaders of the party saw that
if this great conservative force took
charge of the party their occupation
would be gone, and they began a system
of exasperation and abuse, certain news
papers and politicians pronounced their
great platform of “Equal right* to all
and special privileges to none** rank
heresy, and their terrible arraignment of
trusts and combines idle twaddle, and
their financial views as visionary and
wild, and their demand for state and
nit ion.il governments'll control of rail
roads as usurpation of power.
Designing men of their ranks, hunting
preferment rather Jhaa the general gowl,
led them off into the organization of a
new party. Fighting corporate power,
they incorporate into their platform a
corporation in the governmental owner
ship of railroads, so large that It would
btnkrupt all to buy them. Pretending
to disbelieve the intention of the repub
lican party to centralization they
ridicule the force bill ns an issue
and thus the solid swuth—grand and
glorious iu its solidity for good govern
ment and just laws for both whito and
black, solid azainst the encroachment of
federal powers .inti republican misrule,
solid against a force bill, which in the
language of the democratic platform,
“injures the colored citizens rnoro than
the whites, and means the subjugation
of tho colored people to the control of
the party in power nud tho reviving of
race antagonisms now happily abated"
is threatened to bo divided; family
against family, friend against friend,
brother against brother, all working as
they deem for tho general good.
Xow I am an allinncemnn, and no ouo
will gainsay my loyalty and dovotion to
the order aud its best interests—.is I see
it—.ind I am a democrat, and no ons will
question ray fealty to that party, which

MR. LEE HUFF SHOT ANO KILLEO

mtinlly Wrought I'p.
Mr. Lee Huff, deputy iparah.il of Par
rott, in Tetrell county, was shot and
killed by a negs o lie had under arrest
Saturday nl-ht.
The negro e-raped, and a posse ha*
been on tiia bunt for him ever since. Ii
caught. It is doubtful about the Immedi
ate action.
Mr. Huff waa a young and popular
man, and had a number of friends In and
about Americus. Everybody about Par-
roll's liked him and their indignation Is
great.
.sheriff Troy Holder told the story here
yesterday.
An excursion train containing a lot
of negroes stopped at Parrott's aud a
number of them got off to get some
whiskey.
One exceedingly tough character who
gavo his nanin as Julius Spikes ordered
s quart nnd as he received the bottle,
threw down a copper and started to the
door. Tlie barkeeper called out to him
that he bad not paid, and Hie negro an
swered ;
Well, yon; it's all you'll
get."
The bartender ran after and caught
him, and snatching the bottle struck him
over the head witli it, cutting several
had gashes anil beating him severely.
Deputy Marshal Huff came up and
ok tlie negro In charge. He deputized
a Mr. llrlghtwell to assist him and the
three started for tbo lockup. The negro's
head was bleeding profusely, and be
a.*ked to be allowed to get a handker
chief out of his satchel. Permission
was granted, nnd Spikes opened ami
tlirusl ills hand Into his valise.
In n second It was withdrawn, bidding
a pistol, and before either of tlio men
could Interfere lie (lred. The bullet
struck Marshal Hull, and lie fell.
Mr llrlghtwell jumped forward and a
Imllut whizzed by Ills car. Then the
negro turned nnd ran Into tho woods.
Mr. II11IT was killed Instantly by the
shot, which took ofTect In tliu neck.
A posse was quickly organized, and
liegan tlio search for tlie escape. Up to
the last hearing no clue hail boon found.
It In thought that ho is hiding in the
woods near by, and that his capture Is
certain.
The neighborhood is exceedingly
wrought op over the tragedy, and the
tvn.i. work roa citiar.
Taylor County's Primary Ipsta Well for
tho Hsmorrsts.
Four Vai.i.kv, August 0.—[Special.]
—By Herculean efforts will managed
Taylor connty, which only a few days
ago waa considered the banner third
party county In the state, le now safely
democratic. There are about 800 white
vo'ere In Taylor county end In the pri
mal y there last Saturday 500 white den-
ecrau voted, leaving fully 100 strong
democrats who did not tarn oat and
vote, but who will come In with their
votes and Influence in the fall aad Jan
uary elections. This only gives the
-bird party 140 votes In Taylor county
out of 800 white voters.
Three weeks ago good, well posted
democrats conceded a majority of the
white votes to the third party, bat the
good democrats stormed them on all
occasions until their ranks began to
weaken, and now they ore in n dilapi
dated condition and their leader, “stay
law,” “was substitute." Scab Mont
gomery Is sick and democratic gnus
falls to relieve him of bis third party
nausea. l(e|H>rts say he it In a deplora
ble condition, and is now a leader In the
third party ilesort, with but few follow
ers and many of them are rebelling.
The democrats of Taylor ought to be
congratulated over their sweeping vic
tory which knowing ones say will give
Mr. Crisp little to do in defeating "Blue
Fred" Wimberly—In fact, they all con
tend that lie is defeated now, as the
broken ranks of the third party In Tay
lor and Crawford are sure to have a de
moralizing effect on the party Is other
counties. .
Mr. Crisp's constituents propose to
give him his much-needed rest, and will
take care of Ills Interest In this district
against the invasion of Tom Walson,
Blue Fred" and other third party lead
ers. ,
The counties composing tlio Third
congressional district are now safe from
corruption, I’ostlsm, Watsontsm,
Wimlicrlyism and third parlyism, and
will poll a large majority for straight out
icmocracy in nil the elections to tako
place in tho next six months.

They are good conservative citizens act
ing according to their convictions. They
cannot be cajoled by flattery, coerced by
threats or intimidated by ridicule. They
do not with to harm their section; their
great desire ir to remedy existing evils.
Wc have the same desire. They think
the people’s party is the remedy. We
think onr safest and best and only plan
is through democracy
Let’* reason with them; ask them to
come back, and let's unite In driving
from power our common enemy, then
we can readjust matters, then we can

With government restored to Its con

fruition of bis labor; with banished

About Wimberly.
F. D. “Blue Fred” Wimberly was
nominated for congress from the third
district by the third party convention
last week. If Freddie isn't snowed
under by Judge Crisp we'll he surprised.
—Rochelle Register.
Blue Fred” Wimberly does not give
liis party credit for nominating him for
congress in the third district, it seems.
Like President Harrison, he regards his
candidacy aa of divine origin. But “Blue
Fred" bad better follow Harrison's ex
ample and hustle for votes, and not de
pend too much upon divine interposition
at the polls. If be hopes to make any
kind of showing on election day.—Sa
vannah Xews.
Our highly esteemed congressman,
Judge Crisp le now opposed by a third
party man by the asms of Wimberly.
Boys come aad let's see how deep we
can bury Mr. Wimberly- Don’t forget
to vote and nee every energy In your
power to give Judge Crisp a rousing
good vote. Be sura to vote. Xeverbe

The republicans of Fannin have nomi

but Peek and Watson voted for it. M.

of Hancock, cbamploaod tho opposition
to It.”
Clevar Bob Lewis, of Hancock connty,
does not care to be a legislator this year,
but be la a candidate for aol lei tor-
general, hia opponent being William
Howard, of Lexington. In speaking of
politics In bis county be says Hancock
will roil up a nice majority for Black,
and be says the present congressman
from the Tenth will surely be relegated
to the shades of private life.
