Barnesville, Aug. 25—(Special).—The
great Democratic rally at Barnesvllle
today was a maguifleent success. A
great crowd melt Gent Gordon unci
v .wGen... Evans at the depot, 'the band
playing "Dixie’' us they alighted from
the cars, and marched to a beautiful
frove. As the two old war-scarred
veterans sat upon the rostrum, facing
the large audience, they presented in
themselves- living pictures of holy
nerooriea Gen. Bvaus was looking
well. Nobler than any epitaph upon
his tombstone as statesman or -warrior
will be the grand wwk done for the
last thirty years in the cause of the
Master. Tils defeat has made him con
queror. and has aroused In the hearts
of all the people u. peculiar tenderness
of feeling for him.
Gen.' Gordon was the same as ever—
majestic of mein, composed: his very
looks inspiring admiration^
Dr. J. P Thurman delivered the
opening address of welcome, followed
by MaJ. T. J. Hunt, who introduced
the speakers.
Gen. Evans spoke first. He said:
Fellow citizens: I have no gauge to
day by which I can measure the grati
tude 1 feel for uhe words that have
uilen from the Ups of my friend (Mr.
bunt), and for the presence of this
large company, called together -to lis
ten u> myself and my honored empau-
ioii upou uie issues oi -liic oay. 1 know
iu<*L x am m uie uiouae of my personal
menus. Dong years since the people
at uns lovely city and this bpieuuid
county won iny aeepost u-ifectlon, mid
mat affection abides with me to the
present moment. I am here to spcait
to you tuaay tor the same reasons '..hat
would move me to speak in your pres
ence upon any question, that involves
your xicrsonaJ, individual and general
welfare. 1 will not assume that I am
in the presence of a people unreusuu-
unly discontented with their situation.
Admitting tlm there are troubles ex
isting, not caused by -me Democratic
party, but brought upon .us by the ad
verse legislation of tne great euemy of
popular government and of Democratic
policy, I shjill-still direct your atten
tion to the'fact that we a res urrou rul
ed by* circumstances of such char
acter aa would inspire us with the
warmest hope that Deter times are ly
ing >u8t anend of us. DTWue Provi
dence has been smiling upon the state
of Georgia. We are making hog and
hominy in abundance for our people,
aui rhere is but little of dissatisfaction
throughout the state. We ure a thrifty
people, In spite of the difficulties by
which we are surrounded, and the em
barrassments under which we suiter
mv not occasioned by reason of any
fault of our own, nor by reason of any
failure of Providence on our behalf,
buc simply because we have been
brought into these straits through long
. depressing influnece of a policy which
has held this country by the throat for
a whole generation. I shall not speak
today for the purpose of making any
apologies whatsoever for any falluro
that the Democratic party may lr.tve
nude to meet public expectation, for I
conceive than no such apologies are
necessary. I shill talk to you concern
ing straight, pure Democratic princi
ples, for the reason that I believe 'Unit
tfrose principles jre found In the very
constitutional structure of our govern
ment; thit they % are principles essen
tial to the development of truth, hu
man rights and human liberties; that
they are eternal principles, and that
they will prevail in this land to bring
peace and prosperity to our entire peo
ple. Tile Democratic principles are the
rock upan which the people of this
great nation may build tlie fabric
of a government that shall be a
model for all the nations of the whole
world. I shall speak fully and plainly
for Democracy, because I believe that
WJJg » the party of this country.
Tae profoundesc convictions of my
Judgment are A at as s people we have
no resarc outside of thtt party. So
P«>Dle to twite wvrh; no party -to go to,
»>rhere to point the prow of the ship
or our state except to that port where
D t rnoC w tIc P rtD CipIes tire found and
wnere pemocria^t government can be
bii. fApplause.)
It is very evident there Is a deter
mined effort made throughout this
die country of ours to produce dlst*
faction with Democratic policy. Demo
cratic principles and the Democratic
party. I sha'.l not assail the motive by
witch -this dissatisfaction Is uttemp’t-
ed to he engendered. It is In tt large
pa-rt merely, partisan; * It is In some
part on uocount of mistake. Reasonable
men will not listen to the demagogue
w*ho seeks .to dissatisfy the people with
thu principles and policy of die Demo
cratic party. Ybu observe that every
difference that ex,sis among Demo-
crats upon even trivial issues inside of
Democratic lines, has been magnified
and exa-ggerated as 4f those differences
were of such a ch'amcter as to forbid
the possibility of coming to any agree
ment. Every faT.ure that has been
made by the Democratc party w over*
come tne terrible obstacles which it has
encountered -In its efforts to reform this
government, and 'to restore tm* rig.its
of the people to the people uud bring
back this entire nation once more to
Its constltiriono.1 privileges has bee>n
magnified Into some desperate «vu«u of
fealty to principle and some desperate
lack of patriotism. I have no sympathy
wh.t'.tVBi- with these attempt.--, up- a
false ground to breed such discontent
ami bring our people throug.i/iu mis
nacion into discord. I regret thou even
Democrats have, here ami there, lent
tiemselves to this effort to produce
d’.s.Vi'iJsfuction. (Applause.) I concede
tba'; vnere ifc a liberty of discussion in*
s. 1 • .the 1 ><“in •cr.ii.it- P.itnrly; w*» are «-n-
ay -IVavaoruU't-* <1* If t am.mg our
selves within the sphere of Demo
cratic p>atform and policy. Any party
chat is organized so as uo forbid free
discussion iwJuiita Its rim Its a a tyranny,
and Vito Democratic party does not
deny th-is ,rlgh*t to its members, ,bu*
leaves us free, Wholly and fairly to
discuss public -measures, and Chen to
come to an agreement and advance
as a united people to administer the
government put in hands so as to bring
tne greatest happiness and prosperity
tc>-.ho j) -oplo. I nlnll ( therefore, at the
outset siy chat 1 see no reason growing
out of difficulties which fairly exist
among Democrats for auy desertion to
Che ranks of 'the enemy of Democracy.
(Cheers.) Let us deprecate all division
of every kind. They are the bathe of
good parties and should not be encour
aged. I know of no Buoh division—no
such proper classification of Demo
crats a3 '^tfnrindstratkm Democrats”
and "anti-admlnhrtraltton" Democrats.
I do not understand that we have any
proper clarification of ourselves as
"gold bug”. Deurocrats and "silver
crank" Democrats. These are epithets
that are npplle to us by the enemies
of Democracy, and I have learned not
to go to my enemy and nor to borrow
nreihode from those who opppse my
party. I am, as you are, Democratic
from principle and from conviction, be
lieving in my deepest heart that my
p-a'trtoDc duty to my people und my
country lies in imy standing firmly, fair
and square, eTwayfc, through thick and
-thin, In disappointment and In success,
In defea't \>r 'in overthrow, by the party
of constitutional liberty for this coun
try. ( Enthusiastic cheers.)
Some of you may meet with this
statement: Thwt the Democratic party
has not fulfilled fts pledges. Let me
frankly answer that the pledges of the
Democratic party made In Its platform
have not yet been fulfilled; but I am
not going .so desert my party just sim
ply beca/use obstacles have been thrown
in their way, Which up to this day
have prevented them from accomplish
ing the great hope of the party. (Ap
plause.) You state to me that some
Democrats have ignored the principles
Of the party and (using your own
words) "tfbey are'not good enough Dem-
ocra'ts for you." Let that be true; but
I did not learn hi the Confederate war
to cast down my flag because some
body is not faithful, and I have not
learned to betray my church .because
some men were hypocrites. (Tumult
uous applause.) h
You say to me the party is In such
peril, euch dissensions exist that it is
on the eve of overthrow and that It
will soon cease to have any power In
the Uni/ted States. Do you understand
that in using that argument with me
you a*e asking me to desert the party
In the time of its distress? I h'nve
learned In my life that the hour of need
—of danger—of peril. Is the time when
a man shows his manhood, his fealty to
principle and his faithfulness to his
friends. (Applause.) Were ail the East
to slough and all the West to desert
and the Denfrcrntlo flag should be com
pelled to retire from its present place
on the crest of Sts present high achieve
ments. I would march wKh that flag
still in the hour of defeat and show my
self to be a tru»* Democrat—true to
the principles of my party and my pe’o-
ple In the dark hour of Its defeat. (Ap
plause).
I have witnessed recently an exhibi
tion of Democratic fealty that charmed
my soul. Going lately at the command
of parties Interested In our great inter
national exposition to the city of Wash
ington, It fell to my lot to he a witness,
• >( th.* final struggle of Di-m-u r.icy with
it* graft antagonist In the celebrated
tariff controversy. I sat in the gjllery
and listened to those brief, pungent,
earnest discussions pro and con, and
saw the shots fired at the South and
the Democratic party, and I listened
to replies of Northern and Southern
Democrat!*. It wusji severe tonleal.
But the Democrats were true in their
fealty to party principles. This filled me
with hope. In the gallery as I was I
felt like giving three cheers for Dem
ocracy. Let us criticise our congrK*s-
men no -more. have trials to un
dergo. As I lor' resound me I saw
the portrait of Jv /fJon, and he seemed
to emlle upon Democratic effort to
uphold hf.s principles. We have reason
to take hope and courage. We aye as
sailed today by the tame old enemy
that has confronted us for thirty odd
years; the antagonism between Democ
racy and Republicanism Is a vital one
and the conflict is absolutely Irrepressi
ble. There Ls no compromise between
these two antagonists and no truce for
one single hour can exist between these
two armies. One holds to one theory
of government directly opposite to the
other. . The Republican party Is the 1
creature of fanaticism: the Democratic I
party originated among the fathers who
constructed the constitution of our
country. The Republican party, foster
ed by sectional feeling, sprang Into ex-1
istence in a time Of sectional discord;
the Democratic party the national 1
party, attempting at all times to keep
peace among the nation and to produce
equal prosperity among the state* and
equal rights among the people. The I
Republican party Is proud, pampered,
arrogant und pnverful; it can be nv?t
with euocens only by the Democratic
party. Shall we help that terrible foe I
of popular liberty and human right by
deserting Democmcy?. Has the time
come when these Georgians will, in any
possible way, give aid to this enemy of
our country? Look at Its record for
thirty-four years and answer. It has
created that vast pntollo debt under I
which we have been suffering; It found
ed, on account of thit debt, that na
tional bank system which we desire to I
ref /nm; It has constructed under that
national bank system a financial policy I
th*t V * been for the especial benefit
of its own eection: it took the money of I
our people that was to be paid at one
price and turned it Into the hands of I
theae great corporations :rt a price I
double to them who bought it. It t>rigl-1

New York, Aug. 23.—Tlie second fu
turity was won by Tlie Butterflies, af
ter a bitter struggle with Brandywine,
lu the presence of 25,000 people, ut
Sheepslieud pay this uftcruoon. She
can Justly claim to bo the queen of ilio
2-year-olds of the world. Her victory
Is one thut will live long In tbo minds
of nil that saw It It will bo years be
fore any colt eclipses tbe time. She
lowered tbe record to 1:11 flat for the
race. Tbe best previous time was made
by Morello. He won the $30,000 prize
In 1:12 1-5. Thou again, sho Is tlie first
Ally to win the ltelcli stake. These
facts alone make her victory a memo
rable one.
Another coincidence about her vic
tory Is that sho Is tbe second represent
ative from Gideon and Daly's string
to capture the coveted blue ribbon of
tho 2-year-old world. Tills popular
Arm carried off tlie prize la 1801 with
His Illghuess.
All tho conditions for today's great
race were favorable. Tlie track was
In perfect order, tlie weather was de
lightful and the attendance large. Tlie
only drawback was ocbasloned by the
delays at tbe post. Tho entiro .after
noon's sport was marred by long waits,
while tho horses were sklrmlslilug
about waiting for the signal to start.
This was tlie case with nearly every
race. It was 4:13 o'clock when the sev
enteen candidates for the futurity Hied
past the staud on tlielr way to the post
They were nil In tlie starter's hands nt
4:20 o'clock. Seventeen minutes had
cljpsed before anything approaching a
break was made. Then' all hut Cnll-
fora’a. Agitator, Wnltzer and St. Ve
ronica came out to the furlong post, y
-Another long wait. In which they nnj-
paired to he tolling turns as to who
should spoil the start, occurred. Sev
eral small breaks occurred and finally,
ufter they had beeu nt the post forty-
seven minutes, the flag went down mid
the “they are oil" rang out Into the air.
.Monaco, California, Tho Butterflies,
Gutta Perchn and Hon eh ester got away
oil practically even terms. As tey dis
appeared In the dtp Tlie Butterflies was
leading, with Agitator, Uutta Perelta
nud Manchester nt her saddle glrtli.
The dust lilil ihe otliera from view.
The Butterflies was leading with Agi
tator under the lash only three-quar
ters of n length away, when they came
Into sight again. Monaco anil Uutta
Percha hud given up the struggle.
They swung Into the home stretch
with Tlie Butterflies hugging tlie rail,
a couple of lengths to the good of Man
chester, who headed Agitator for a fow
strides. Griflln was taking matters
easy when tbo Inst furlong post was
reached. The Butterflies had her Held
spread-eagled and was bounding along
like a big kitten, with Ag.tator and
Manchester alternation in second place
under the severest kind of punishment
"She walks 111" rang out from thous
ands of throats. The rich prize was
not to be carried off so easily. Tlie cry
was premature. Brandywine, tvbo got
off In the rear rank, and who was ima-
ble to get through until tho last furlong
of tho race was in progress, then made
his big effort Clayton urged him for
ward with whip and spur. He sent
Brandy wine alter The ButtorlllcM like
a shot from n cannon. Urillln saw Ida
danger anil began to urge liis Ally. Hlio
responded to the last gasp. It was
plain to all practiced eyes that Tho But-
terfltes was tiring fast* The torrllle
strain was lolling all p by slop and lin-!i
by lueh. Amid a breathless silence
Brandywine closed up the streak of
daylight that was between them. He
was running and good. Tlie Butterflies
was wavering. Grlltln began to lasli
her mul tlie excitement was intense.
Griflln fought like a young demon anil
the wonderful courage of the lllly alone
stayed olT defeat. Brandywine man
aged to get his nose to her withers, but
could get no further before the all-im
portant line was crossed, and tho fu
turity of 1801 went on record ns hav
ing been won by The Butterflies l>y a
neck from Brandywine. Agitator was
third, two lengtlis away. A length and
a half away came Connoisseur. Mnn-
ebester’8 struggle nt tlie brad of the
home stretch proved too much for him
His stable companion. Counter Tenor,
warn pulled up lame and flnlslii-tl hist:
Monaco's bolt was shot before they hail
gone n Couple of furlongs. California
was never dangerous when the race re
solved itself Into a struggle. Nettber
were Wnltzer, Canterbury, Cromwell.
Doggett. Sadie. St. Veronica or such
cattle as Bombasetts und t'rtin. The
victory was a most popular one.
Apart from the futurity irtildh over-
shslowel everything else an excellent
day’s raging wus witnessed. Hugh
Penny pu: tt* talent In good humor by
cankering home a winner of the first
race. He wax an even mbney favorite.
Ifal,-no and Datirbrs, the second and
third favorites respectively, di'd more
•than was required -of them In4h* sec
ond race. They beat tbe favorite, Mc
Kee. Henry of Navarre gave DorUr
twelve pounds nod beat him for the
Dolphin t:: ikes. Tbe finish of this .-ace
between this pair was one of the grand
est duels teen -this soaein. They dis
puted every Inch of sbe ground of tbe
last fur fang end a half and crossed the
llr.e noses only -apiit. Henry of Na
varre won. but he earned tiln victory.
Domino, to tbe bitter dhuppoatment
of many, dodged the Issue in the fall
•ukes They were captured ‘somewhat
easily by lady Violet from Correction,
wthb iiftjonlebed many honaemwv by
(funding 0 drive.
St. MIchutrt was a trot favorite tn the
sixth race. Taral rode him. It was
®trge:y, if not entirely, due to Torsi's
Indomitable energy that St. Michael
■won the race. Taral drove him up tils
fleld amt drove film .through It. He
Hogg.* t him for fully three furlonx*.
and to this •treaCmoni Ills victory must
be ascribed. A bookmaker nuined
Brewer, doing urine os under tho name
of Iitie Congress Club, weldhed- ufter
the third rate. His sheets showed be
'had taken in *023. He left $94 in his
(Mull box.
AT SARATOGA.
Saratoga, Aug. 2i.—with the races of
today the meeting at this truck closed,
rt has been highly successful from a ttnon-
ctal standpoint, and the so-Journecs regret
that their principal afternoon amusement
la a thing of the past. The principal event
on today's card traa the race for tho Spen
cer stake for s-ycar-otds at ons and a
quarter miles. Lamplighter waa a top
heavy favorite at 4 tn li, with Yo Tam-
beln, the second choice, at 7 to a. At the
start Victorious went to the front ond re
mained there to the stretch with Yo Tam-
beln In second place. She took the lea.!
after passing the ktat quarter, and In n
furious drive .Iordan Innded her a winner
by a neck with Iaimphghter only a head
before Victorious. Glen Lilly cleverly wun
the race for 2-year-olds and the Trophy
Gelding, 8 to 1 stiot, captured' the raro
for 3-year-olds.,
AT THU PAVILION.
The showing, made at fiheepshead Ray
yesterday was four Urals snd two seconds,
and the talent'declared a dividend. They
never full to do that on a break of that
kind. The attendance wna large and
they wore all Speculators. For the next
Blx weeks there will be the grandest nf
raving nt tbe best tracks tn the country.
It follows that tho pavilion Will lie
crowded every day during that time.
Glance at Monday's enrd. Two slake
races end the other events have quality
and quantltygaiore. It would be hnrd to
Imagine anything better In the lino of
