MR. StevExs conducts a fair cam

Mz. STevENS won Terrell in a fair
eontest, and ke should now be given a
united support.
CoroNEL WoorkN, Judge Guerry and
Mr. Stevens have all been invited to
speak in Fort Gaines.
Mr. STEVENS is working harder to
suppress the Third party sentiment in
this district than any other man.

SINCE the retivement of Judge Guerry,
the people of Terrell will most all fall in
line for Hon. O. B. St:vens. Who is it
that doesn’t want a Terrell man for Con

Tur latest interesting political rumor
is that Congressman Blount will be a
candidate to succeed Georgia's present

insist upon reading him out of the party.

Tre News will remain with the vener
able and still vigorous Democratic party
~—with its splendid record and glorious
traditions, and founded upon principles
which are immortal because they are
right.
Tuoe Richland Gazette has it from a
member of the Democratic Executive
Committee of Stewart county “that every
member of that committee will tender
their resignations, as they are Third par
%y men.”’
IN the Tombighee floods a young white
nan, J. A. Willis, swam a mile to get a
woat that he might save five negroes

suggests this incident to the Chicago In
#er-Ocean as another Southern outrage.
HAVE YOU THOUGHT AB OUT IT ?
Have vou thought seriously what the
theresult would be if only one plank of
the Third party platform were carried
into operation? Take the railvoad plank,
for instance. It proposes for the gov
ernment to own all of the railroads, tele
graph and tdlephone lines. To own them
Ue government must buy them. In the
United States there are about 150,000
miles of railroads, the original cost of
which was about $35,900 u mic, Many
roads could not now be bought tor three
times-that amount, Now estimate,if you
can, the prices that would have to be
paid for the numerous costly depot build
irgs, Dbiidges, passenger coaches and
rolling stock which have been added to
the value of the roads since they were
built, and then maultiply the amount
by 150,000. Then get another quire of
paper and cipher awhile on the probable
cost of the telegraph and telephone lines,
and when you get through figuring, if
fyou haven’t gone crazy, you can’'t help
bhut admit that the St. Louis platform is
about the wildest, crankiest pieee of
political architecture ever erected in a
civilized country.
CORRECT.
The victimizing of some guileless Bai
tow county citizens by ‘‘green goods”
men is but another reminder that the
time has come for the courts to look
after this ‘‘green zoods"” busizess. The
Columbus Enquirer-Sun gets into the
gist of the case as follows:
“These Bartow people sent off %600
and they expected to receive back 36000
of bogus money. What was their inten
tion as to the disposition of this coun
terfeit money? It was4o be palmed oft
to their neighbors and friends, as well
as strangers, upon innocent people, as
ood money. People who scatter false
and counterfeit money are very apt to
land in one of the Federal penitentiaries
for a more or less lengthy term of impris
onment and hard labor. These ‘‘green
cgoods’ vietims who plan to get and pass
what they believe to be bogus money
commit a grave crime which shouid not
go unpunished. If there is no law now
on the statute books to reach them con
gress ought to pass alaw that will
meet the case.”’
WE advise the rich men of the country
to read the history of the revolution in

to the Union soldiers than see it gobbled
by the goldbugs.”
MEr. STEVENS returned, Saturday night,
from a week's campaigning in the lowel

ested.
Tue State Executive Committee of the
alliance respectfully urges that county

dorsed the f(hird party rescind thei

simply a request by the committee, and

ALBANY, GA,, April 16, 1892,
To the Members of the Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee of the Second Con
gressional Distrtet:
GENTLEMEN—At our recent meeting
certain vesolutions were adopted loc king
to a m are perfect organization of our
v arty i . the district which we fear are
Rrot b .ing carried into effect, and danger
and aefeat in consequence thereof stare
us in the face,
This is no time to mince matters—tha
time for action is on us. We must stand
to our colors or let them trail in the dust
of ignominy and defeat.
The flag of democracy stands on the
democratic platforn,
In it there is no Ocalaism,
In it there is no St. Louisism.
In it thereis no Third Partyism.
Gentlemen who favor either are not
democrats, and should not be allowed to
control the primaies of the democratic
party. We must draw the line, and or
ganize the primaries under the law as sct
torth in the act of the last legislaturs.
See Acts of 1891, page 210. |
Let this law be strictly followed. If
any of your county executive committee
are believers in the Ocala or other plat
forms they sheuld not be allowed to act,
Let none but democrats be on guard
to-night,
Let none but democrats vote at the
primaries. Challenge men who are known
to advecate heretical doctrines,
As it appears that several county con
ventions have already been held, conven
tions called by the Ocala democrats, we
think itis but right for the committee to
meet again, and to formulate some posi
tive line of action by which we can know
whether we are dealing with democrats
or Ocala men. Therefore I request you
to meet together in Albany on Thursday,
April 21st, to take these questions into
consideration. A full attendance is
carnestly requested. R. Hoßbs,

What the Papers Say About the Raoce in
the second.
From the Thomasville Economist.
On Tucs lay of last week the first
decisive engagement of the congressional
campaign was fought.
The scene of the conflict was in Terrell
county, the home of Hor. O. B. Stevens
and Judge Guerry. The resultis already
known,
After a hard fought fight the result
was, made known, and it was one of
which any man might be proud. By bhis
neighbors, by the men who knew him
thoroughly, and trusted him implicitly,
My, Stevens wuas named as their choice
forcongress
T ere were no side lights in the cam
paign that Mr. Stevens made that could
not be shown in the tull blaze of noon
day.
After the day was ended he called his
family together, and around the altar at
home, that most sacred of all altars, he
oftered to the great Father of all sincere
and devout thanks for all the good they
had known in life.
Even when flushed with earthly sacce: s
he did not forget the kind hand that had
been intruded over them with such in
finite tenderness and mercy.
This is the man, you farmers and wage
workers, that you have named as your
standard bearer, and he is one of whom
yvou may feel proud, and whom you can
ask the support of all sober, Christian,
right thinking people.
From the Calhoun Courier.
The latest news from the congressional
campeign is that Judge Guerry has re
tired from the race, and that he and kis
fiends wiil throw their influence and en
ergies to Col. Wooten.
Judge Guerry had a strong following
in the district, and no doubt there will
be numbers of voters who will regret to
tearn of his retirement. We have not
learned Lis reasons for withdrawing, but
when they are fully explained we have
no doubt they will be satisfactory to
those who 'may new feel disappointed in
the loss of the opportunity of honoring a
good man with their vote for congress.
The outlook for Col. Wooten is con
siderably improved by this strong addi
tion to his support, and his friends are
enthusiastically hopeful ef his success.
Bluftton Cor. Calhoun Courier.
Some of the most outspoken democrats
in this section say they are ready to vote
a republican ticket rather than for Ste
vens. The opponents of Hon. O. B. Ste
vens insinuate that he is a third party
candidate and all his supporters are third
party men. The injustice of this is ap
parent, und it is more likely to draw all
good a'liancemen to his support than to
draw any from his standard. 0. B. Ste
vens has committed no crime by being
an allianceman. Heis no less a demo
crat and is none the less deserving. The
Ocala platform, on which he is before
the people, is democratic and has been
endorsed by the other two candidates,
possibly with the exception of some
minor points. Now the effort is being
made to declare the alliance th: third
party, and O. B. Stevens a third party
candidate. If this proves successful, if
for being an allianceman, we are driven
from the party to which we have given
unswerving support; from the party
which we revere for our father's sake,
then, in the language of that great states
man: ““Sink or swim, live or die, survive

or perish,” we will give our hands z}nd
our hearts to that vote which will defeat
such tyranny.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
" Hon. O. B. Stevens is makinz a splen
did record in the second district, He
does not make many speeches, but “‘gets
there” without many words. Some of
thie best citizens in that district have
dubibed him **The Silent Candidate,” but
he is a man of many friends and great
personal magnetism, “He just draws
’em after him withiout half trying,” says
a voter. Mr. Stevens has taken a firm
stand as a democrat and an allianceman,
His attitude of democratic allegiance is
one which even his opponents must com
mend.
From the Early County News.
The genial presence in our midst to
‘day of thisstaunch out-and-out democrat
and inagnetic gentleman, is cheering to
the loyal demoecratic citizens of Blakely.
He came last night, but without giving
suficient previous notice to enable us to
gather an audience to hear him speak
to-day. Superior court practically ad
journed yesterday, leaving but a small
percentage of country people in town.
We trust that in the near fureture we
shall be enabled to announce a date when
the eloquent and logical Wooten will ad
dress the citizens ot Early county on the
political issues of the day.
From the Bainbridge Globe.
1t the alliancemen of this county meant
what they said when they declared they
wished to name the congressman from
this district, let them stand by the action
of the Cuthbert convention. llf they de
sert their brethren in this district after
trying to control them, how can they ex
pect unity of action in thefuture. They
are pledged to democracy in this cam
paign,
From the Tifton Gazette.
The Gazette is informed that the dem
ocratic voters of Colquitt county are a
unit for Hon. R. G. Mitchell for congress,
and it is probable that delegates favora
ble to him will be sent to the convention,
From the Thomasville Economist.
The splendid victo y the Aliiance will

token of what may be done everywhere,

strength on one man.
Liberal in Suggestions,
Last week Ture NEws reproduced,
from the Fort Gaines Herald, an article
favoring Hon. Jno. R. Inwin for State
Senator. This week thie Herald suggests
another candidate in language equally as
complimentary as that bestowed upon
Colonel Iwin. The public would like to
know which one of the gentlemen the
Herald prefers. The following is the
latest on that line:
It affords us much pleasure to suggest
to our reade:s this week the name of
Hon. J. N, Bigbie, of our county, for
Senator from this district.
- “*Tlere is not a better man for the po
sition in the district, and as this is Clay’s
time to name the man we hope the sug
gestion will be considered appropriate,
and that the name of our friend and the
strong partisan for the rights of the peo
ple—Hon. J. N. Bigbie—will lead in the
victory at the proper time.”
