would meet with Mach a glorious trl-
111 m|»Ji. The executive cemrnitteo itnelf
wan surprised.
j To what must \\e attribute thin victory?
I Why 1* th at Gi-orgia, confronted with
hut one routed enemy In 1 >70, idaoiild
have g.»ne on peacefully and quietly,
contenting herself with a majority mag
nificent In it* proportion*, hut gradually
decreasing ninco the SO,000 majority c;ut
for Mr. Tilden in 1*70? Since that year
we have had practically no contcsta in
Georgia. The meiolaant, the farmer,
the hanker, the common laborer, the
clerk, all, have conceded Georgia to
democracy. Till* ha* reunited in a Mate
of Indifference extremely dangerous in
a republican form of government. Mill
flip great heart of Georgia tluobhed for
demhcracy. With hut two except hum in
her history ha* she abandoned, in na
tional election*, the democratic p.aity,
and these were Irotli lrefore mir colored
citi/.en* had been allowed the privilege
of voting.
If hutn.iti eotidurt is an Index to
human motive, it show* a few things
that our people nil) ponder:
Find — Georgia, like the Numldi.in lion,
may he quiescent w hen allowed to tepose
in poire, and without Federal interven
tion and insolent invasion, either l»y can
didate* for high oilier, or liy male or
female disciples, preaehing the gospel of
hate, Ileating not ti|M»n their garments
any odoriferous substance offensive to any
one, so olTensIve a* their elforts to array
one class of her cltl/.ens against another,
arraying capital against labor, and laltor
ag.airod capital, ami beating in their trail
the rankest race prejudice and section
alism that has ever been uttered by any
xcept YVhitelaw l*eld, thecandidatc
for the viee presidency of the republican
party.
Second: fieorgia democracy has been
shown to Ik* the Xumhliau lion. In
pilot and peace it rested, recognizing the
*alamity that liefell her as the result of
the war. This she has gracefully and
piletly acceded to. No one readily pays
tribute to government; It is not ex
pected—It is a tax. In the days of our
Savior the question was propounded,
hall we pay tribute to (\is.ar,’’ and the
Divine Teacher then told us to pay that
tribute, ficorgian* have obeyed this
rule in paying tribute to the national
rumetit front necessity. The tatill
lias been to them a tax. It has been a
Jr.-tin, a* it were, from the heart’s I»1«nnI
•f rvi i v if.dio.try of this stale, oppress
in.: I.aidis’ and wmst the lalnircr
and the farms i. The man with an in
come of $>.**<»i per annum under this sys
tem pays a* much by way of taxation be
cause he wears the same style of clothes,
as the man who ha* an Income of
or $5,0M0 per annum. What would bo
a mere bagatelle, for Instance, to a man
paving $1.10on a wind bat who received
an Income of $2,-MM) would he excessive
taxation to the man whose income was
f*.od, to say nothing of many of our fel
low ciii/.i n* who w ould buy the same
hat, aud nrccMsully buy It, whose Income
is less. There ate men in Georgia whose
income Is not one twentieth of that of
their employers. The result is that they
have to pay as much tax as their em
ployees. The logical consequence Is that
the rich arc growing richer on account
of unequal burdens in taxation, under
the infamous tax law, and the poor are
necessarily growing |»ooror. The demo
cratic party is seeking to obviate, both
by Us platform promulgated at Chicago,
and following tho tradition* of the party
fro.n its Inciplcncy. This is why
rgla repudiated the wild ideas of the
Third party.
Third: Burdened with taxation,
fieorgia saw no reason why the private
citizen should Ihj taxed to buy the tele
phones, the telegraphs and railroads of
this country. All of these are under
state or inter state espionage and con
trol. Many a good man, deluded by
these people, who are really the lieuten
ants of the republican national commit-
in my opinion, never s|N»kc over a
telephone, rarely telegraph, and ride
perhaps once a year upon the railroad*.
For this reason, when the matter hud
been properly presented to the people of
rgia, did she decide not to go any
heavier into taxation and bankrupt the
farm, the little house ami lot In hamlet,
the stoic, the moro pretentious but not
more dear residence in the city, In order
to gratify the greed of the republican
party.
Fourth: This Is not the only reason
fieorgia has decided that sho w ill no
longer stand the per|*tiul, endless
draiu u|m»ii the already depleted pockets
of her citizens by pouring Into northern
cotters her wealth and her substance in
pay of reckless and extravagant pen
sion* to union soldier*, their widows
and their orphans This Is as true of
the blacks as of the white*. They real
ize that the war Is over. Duilng the
war the black* were our best friend*,
fieorgia knows this. The blacks know,
have been taught In this campaign that
this money must bo raised by a Urtif
upon goods; upop-their tin backet, upon
their hat, upo*{belf coaU, upon iMr
our fieorgia. They knew that what was
good for the white roan In Georgia wiu
good for the colored man. They knew
(hat the war was over, aud a large ma
jority of the colored voters were those
who ha*! reached their majoiity since
the day* of Lee aud Jackson, and
Johnson ami of IIo«m1. They have no
patience, our colored people, with the
doctrine of hate. Since those troublous
times they have liveil among iis ns free
men, and wuilst not socially equal, o»
it should never be between the tv
as friends, they have lived III unity. The
third (tarty* people Hoiked riot wisely,
but too well, when they hoped to disrupt
the alTections, the sympathy and the in
terest of the true ficorgian, white and
black, the one from the other. This is
another reason why dcmociacy was so
triumphant.
One word more. Far bo it from me,
and far be it so far as 1 can learn, from
any thoughtful mind to agree to the
it operation and abuse that has been
heaped upon our former party associates,
I believe that nearly all of them, recog
nizing the hardships that have come
upon our people, looking more to the
effect than the cause, went into that
party in the utmost good faith. Their
hardships came, both white and black,
from an excessive protective UrilT, none
of the benefits of which accrue to Geor
gia: from an outrageous cx|>cnditiiro
public money, which, of course, Is raised
by taxation, in the way of alleged Im
provement of the river* and ' haibors,
little or mne of wldcb comes to fJeoi
gia. and from which we receive no bene- It
tit; fiom worse thanjontrageoiis sqiian- ' t,n
deling of tlie public money, draining
not enly Georgia, but the whole south
white and black for the payment of
bogus and rrofair pensions that ought
not ti» lie allowed, and would never In*
allowed under a democratic administia-
lion. These are tho condition* that
have distracted our fileuds. They are
our fiiends. They have been in time of
war ami in tiino of jieace. Peace and
plenty would reign over our land with a
democratic administration, both of
president, senate and bouse. This we
have not*yet obtained,and yet are on tlie
eve of obtaining.
After the defeat of the wily politicians,
disgruntled and disappointed, who have
sought and failed to obtain otlicc under
the democratic party In fieorgia, I am
confident that the ranks will come back to
the fold and vote with the only party that
can possibly give them relief in Xovam*
!»cr. They are too good and true men
for democracy to lose, for the third party
to gain with its heresies, and the repttb*
lie.in party with its infamous history.

I’nqucHtionably the greatest arenic

public is the Wild Moorish (Irens, Cara

world-famous champion of all oriental
performers. Ban Hadjali Pasha, and con
tains thirty.live men, women and chil
dren, all celebrated as tho most skillful
and d oing performers of the oiient.
These people have formed the Impe
rial Circus Company at tbe court of the
Sultan, and brought to this country by
the Forepaugb Shows by s|iecial permis
sion of the Sultan and protectorate gov
ernment of France.
They bring with them their entire
camp outfit, which will tie pitched with
in the great tents of the Forepaugb
Shows, aud will present a perfect view
if an Eastern nomadic village. They
are Mohammedans in faith, and practice
all their ceremonials of religion and su
perstition very zealously and oblivious
if any observation.
Among them are several Kybalcs and
Assiaons, the direct descendants of the
ancient Assyrians. In their religious
practices they torturu themselves with
tire and sharp instruments, eat lizards,
scorpions and other reptiles, and do the
wild dance and chant of the howling
Dervish. Besides appearing in the cir
cus, where they perform their marvelous
feats, they will also participate most ap
propriately in the sublime historical
spectacle, “The Fall of Ninevcb.*' The

It was the calm that succeeds the

entire day was s|K‘nt in talking over tic
stirring events of the day before.
Auieririi*' citizens had a light to con

victory at the polls Wednesday, and
upon all sides little else than election
matters was discussed.

The vote received by tho third party
candidates was less than 10 pci cent, of
tin* voting population • *f Sumter county,
and this after the party leaders had ean-
vasset| the County from one end to the
other with imported speakers ami with
plenty of money for campaign purjHtses
It shows beyond doubt that the sympa
thy of the people, not r\cn the negroes,
could lie enlisted in their cause.
These men now see the hopelessness
of their effort to divide not only tho
democratic party but the white people
of tho county and state as well, and
many express the earnest hope aud be
lief that they will yet ronie back to the
ranks of democracy w here their services
are needed and where they can do great
good.
There will bo no moro third party in
Georgia. The Infant died stillborn, and
now that the but ini is over with, let's ull
cornu together, make friends and resolve
lionccforth to dwell togetlioir in unity
No city In Georgia, perhaps, outside
tho Tenth district, is more Interested in
tho political affairs of that district than
is Atnuiicus, With Crisp, her own
matchless congressman, safe beyond the
lightest shadow* of doubt, all oyes are
now turned toward the Tenth, w here the
battle of the giants, Black and Watson,
is to Im* fought one month from tomor
row.
Bets are ficcly offered that Black will
be tho victor by a good safe majority,
but none seem willing to put their cur
rency on the wily third partyltc. All
ore of the same opinion .as regards the
reault, and a proposition to tho effect
that Americus send her lUmbcau club,
100 strong, to the Tenth to aid In tbe
coming contest was hailed with delight
by trauy meml»ers.
No political organization in tho state
of like kind can compare with this club,
and the enthusiasm which It aroused
bore Tuesday night hail no little bearing
upon tho result next day. Tho club is
now in lino trim for battle, and will
make It decidedly warm for any rene
gade that dares preach third party here
sies in Americus, Suiuter county or the
Third congressional district.
