(A REVOLUTION THAT FIZZLED.

timo when they could sot possibly

they amid not cite n single Instance In
.which Ktrlb hud Is-cn cheated of n

Kungo that ho had been cheated—lind
been counted out, Uxnigh elected by a
very loeg.t majority. All tills Sn Uio
most Inet'tuMiiry huiguiige that could be
employed. It will also lie reraelliliertsl
that August £1 was nppolnted ns the
day on which Kolblteg sliould meet at
the country court housea In overwhelm
tug numbers, presumably to organize
for war.
Well, tbe " lil tins pnssetl and the As
sociated Prom tlld not take the trouhlo
to at-iid out a single Hue idiom theso
great revolutionary nicetlngs, which
were to Inaugurate n new system o
government In America. We And h.\
our AUbnma cxctuuiges, however, that,
acting uism thin cult of their lender, a
few meetings really did occur. Slost
of them had only a few people- two or
three dozen—who dispersed after took'

whera Uio Kolb-l'optillst-Itcpubllcitn

gato when they menu bitslnees—the
meeting numbered about 300. Rut It
was not less ridiculous liccnuso tlio
number of people In ntteiuliiuee was
.larger than elsewhere. The main (Inure
in tbo meeting, Uio leader, was a man
who only recently' murdered n young
lad In a bar-room and Is now under In
dictment for Uio crime, and tils Drat
order was to expet tlio newspaper re
porters from the luiU, thus making of
the meeting a secret one. To his mind

.WHY THEY VOTED AOA1N8T IT.
One of our DtmocmMe exohnngos
rails upon soiuo third parly man to ex
plain why the third party conge.■smmn
voted Against Uio repeal of Urn 10 tier
(out. tax on tho Issues of slate hanks.
Then is not the least probability, how-
ever, Uint any thlul party man in'au
thority will eomo forward with a frank
expliiuntlou. Rut the re.usi:i why the
Populist eoogrosamea voted against the
repealing bill Is not fur to MOlL Tbo
tmlh [s Uiat the Populist light on iluiiu-
elal tssues is bckig carried on under
falsi' pretetmm, an>t tho votes of their
twiigrvssiuon hi this tostanre go far to.
want denv>ustraliius that fact.
FVr two or tlireo years the populist
speakers and nows papers have done
everything possible to push the Tree
coinage issue, in a radical form, to the
front. They haveNiiet with a very con-
u.di r.ddo lit^MslWcoi in milking
H the principal issue in polities, hut
With them Uie free coinage of silver H
merely a means to an cod. In princi
ple they are Just as much opposed to
ssiiw metallic tuoaey ns to gold met-
nlllc money. Wlmt they want--almost
Uie single thing for which they are
ntricing—vs a money wiUiout intrinsic
value, not redeemable, and existing us
money only by the Oat of tho govern
ment.
They favot tlio free coinage of silver,
therefore not lierause they want sitter
money, hut because the free oAunge,«f
silver would alinost inevitably tiring
about n crisis In the currency system
of Uie country so severe that to escape
Its worst consequences the government
would he forced to rinirt. as it did un
der similar oireumstanciu during the
tear, to the Issue of paper. If it did «...
neither silver nor gold money would re
main in circulation. They woiild dis
appear, Just ns Uiey did on tlio former
oecnshin, and the only money in use
would ls> depredated paper.
Tho Populist votes ngniust the Mil
repealing tho 10 per cent tax no the
issues of stato banks were east be
cause thu slate In liking system Is based
on tho iilcu Uint only metaUle money
Is real money, that notes are merely
representative amt to servo their pur
pose cttldeintly must lie redeemable in
real money on demauil. I'o|iiiIIsIh are
therefore opposed to Uils system on
principle, anil lliolr eeugressman's votes
against the bUl were strictly correct
from their point of view. This was
one reason for tluir votes and tbe most
creditable one. Another wus Unit they
are opposed to tho country olrtnin'.ng
any relief except Umougb tho means
they propose. Wo see every day In
the Populist newspapers strenuous ef
forts to offset ns far ns tiossiblo the
promises of better times which inert
people aro able to sco la tho business
situation. They tell lluvr readers that
Uio country's condition tn growing
worse mid worse, nnd is without prem
ise of Improvement In tho future. They
resoiit tho term of ''calamity howlers,''
yet they Justify its application every
day of their lives.
Tho differences which have existed I p r A] Q Cl/AMQ
between Mr. J. It. Kennedy, secretary ULItO. C.VH110
of the Dixie Interstate Fair, And tbe
board of directors have been satisfac
torily adjusted. The preliminary work

Tho senatorial convention of Uio
forty-second district convene! at Home
on last Thursday and unanimously nom
inated the lion. W. II. Lumpkin of
Cnrteniville tor senutor from that dis
trict.
Mr. Lumpkin appeared before Uie
convention and delivered n patriotic
and eloquent address. He Is ona of
tlie leading men of Bartow county and
will make nn admirable senator, an.I
ilie Telegraph congratulates him upon
Ills nomination.
Tbe following rrsutnUoo Mats offered
lit Mr. I. A. Doan and 'ec-uidol by
Mr. W. A. Wright In a strong ttiul earn-
esl spres'li. nnd was adopted hy tho
convention:
"Ra-.ilMI. That It Is the een« of this

It wilt tie at once perceived that MaJ.

llneil to uo particular section of tlie
stntrx From cvety quarter lie Li re-
colvlng enthusiastic indorsements, and
the outlook now Is Hint he will be
elected ua the tirst Kit lot.
BACON FOR SENATOR.
At the Gillsvllle convention last Sat
urday we had an opportunity of testing
the bacon sentiment In Banks, Jackson
and Hall. D. M. Nix said: "I am en
thusiasm: tor K.icon. and if he has any
opposition in Jackses I den's know of
It." Cr-itsf Faulkner sam: "My district.
Nurramore. is solid for Bacon. I don't
know of a sing I- moo who opposes
him." IV. E. lJolihmg spoke (or the
lower part ot the county nnd thinks U
is alt right for the llit-b statesman. And
the Banks delegation v/ere confident
that, the people of that county, so far
as they knew, were entliuet istlc in their
advocacy of Bseni.—G.ilhe-vltie Ragle.
"Mil. Bacon Is one of Geoigla’s ablest
men: Is thoroughly cbnvereint .with tho
great questions. Involving’ Iho people’s
Intereal: is a true and staunch Demo
crat and will mhke Georgia sn aMe rep

Georgia should elect her ablest men to
represent her in die national senate.—
Monroe Advertiser.
The counties which have expressed
themselves indicate conclusively that
Hon A. O. Bacon la the choice of Geor
gia for United fltaten senator, Greene
county 1s for him.—Gronsboro 'Herald-
Journal.
A good portion of the Secrod congres
sional district Mr. Turner’s old district,
want A. O. Bacon for United States sen
ator. Several counties In that district
have Instructed their representatives *o
vote for MaJ. Bacon.—Lee County Enter
prise.
The Indications now point to the proba
ble election of Hon. A O. Bacon as Uni-
ted Rules senator. He Is one of Georgia's
ablest men, and would take hla stand
among the commanding figure* of that
great Intellectual body.-Ccdartown Stan
dard
Tills article appears In Hale's Weekly
of Conyers: To the Voters of Rockdale:
As the election of a United States senator
will be by the In-comlng legislature, 1
wish to say If I am elected. I favor the
Hon. A. O. Bacon for tho poaltion, un
less otherwise Instructed by tne people,
provided he la favorable to so amending
the laws as to allow the people to elect
the United Slates senator. This 1 believe
right and will bring the senators nearer

GORDON'S SPEECH.
When Gen. Evutui concluded, MaJ.
Hunt introduced Gen. Gordon. The
general mil Juat warming up Into sub
ject artien a rain came up and fho
crowd adjourned to *he spacious hail
of the Gordon Institute. Gen. Gordon
said toe brought glad -tidings of great
Joy, for «fhe dawn, of a. better day was
upon us. He said we were Just emerg
ing from great financial depreasDn and
the sides -were brighter. He called at
tention to the remarkable fact that
during the recent dleturatoncCJ h» tbe
Weaft, while a storm of Industrial fury
was raging, the Soutih was resting in
quiet and peace and repose. Here were
no 1.1-omened< and organized bodies
breaking *the peuce and good order of
tho country. No great charity funds
were feeding the needy and homeless
and houseless—oo unfurtlng of the
black flag of Anurchy and interference
with commerce and business. It was Ma
proud privilege -to stand In the senate
and porrrt Vo the' Southern people as
defenders of law and conservators of
order, and -to point to this once de
spised section ua the -home of repose
and security, and therefore as rfhe most
inviting field for enterprise and invest
ment.
•What waa the reason for tt? Why the
South the home of repose? How long
will -it be the home of freedom and se
curity? The S’outh thus been free from
violence because her peop.e have been
conservative and remained- united.
There wus homogen’ity of feeling and
purpose. Our pepple have been gufided
by wise counsel and have followed con-
uervative principles, and so Jong as
they follow wise leaders cund udbpt
conservative principles they will enjoy
those conditions of peace and repose
and security. But we, too, are threat
ened. Now, there are two polMoal par
ries contending for the mastery. Both
parties huvo tnrfr pla'tform and advo
cates. The Populists made one vise
demand in their platform—the Income
tax. The Democrats 'have given them
that. Tho Populists have one plank
they do not say much about. That glo
rious* man, Gen. Evans, who fired the
latft shot at Appomattox (great cheer
ing) 'ha sal ready cahed your atteiVWo-n to
that railroad plank. What are the Pop
ulists ihlnking of «to demand the pur
chase and oenurton of ail the vast raM-
foa systems of this vast country—a
system of 180,000 miles of road, which
oost eleven thousand millions of dol
lars. Where Is -foe hioney -to oome from
for the purchase? The PopulUts say
from the government, but tne govern
ment has no money except eucn as it
raises from the peopfie toy taxes. This
is a people's government, not a .mon
archy, and <ihe people support -tlfte gov
ernment. Every dollar added -to gov
ernment tax Is a. tax on the pockets of
the people. Conservatism rejects such
a scheme. Common'sense esohews it.
Business judgment recoKa at the very
sim&estkm of'such a purchase. But
©ven if purchase could be made satis
factorily (and U never could) to the
stockholder* and bondholders, then
who would operote the railroads? We
In Georgia have condemned the policy
of even -the state runntng the railroads.
Georgia could -not run a srtiort line suc-
cessful.y. Then why *Woukl we chink
tho government ot Washington could
run bll the roads of this vast country
8Uoce«3fuUy. The resuit would be bank
ruptcy. Then Into what political '.Vanda
would these roads fall? It would re
quire 'ten times as nramy employes un
der political mamtgemeni, army nnd
navy included. Wh-at a gigantic pa
tronage! Such a scheme wou&l bring
poh'Uloal decay and utter destruction of
the Jeffersonian idea of government.
Gen. Gordon objected to «t-he Popu
list plunk for uni Invited coinage of sil
ver without dD? conditions..The Dem
ocrats are for free coinage, but every
dollar shall be -the equal of every other
dollar. wiR'i’.mr paper, silver <>r gold.
The Populists say all The government
has to do is to put <*.s tilamp on money
and that fixes Its value. If the govern
ment stamp fixes the value of money
then -the flnuac&i problem ia solved.
But lx does not do U. Paper drcuhites
With government stamp. Why? Be
cause the government elands behind it

ver and go5d. This problem of finance
is not one for tyros to deal with. It is
a serious tbrng. Because the South in
a cotton country she is interested in
not having lu depredated currency.
Relating to tariff, Gen. Gordon said
the Demociuts pleaded for only tariff
enough lo run the government econom
ically administered. In the senate we.
had only two majority, and some of
rhe senators would ifot agree Xq what
•the people wanted. Hence a compro
