MACON. GA. SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 2. 189*.
PURE DEMOGRAGY
TALKED IN JONES
Bacon, Whitfield and Bartlett Make
Rattling, Good Speeches
at Gray's,
GREETED BY AN IMMENSE CROWD
Jllany Ladles Were Present to Hear the
Speaking and Took a Deep Inter
est In the Discussion—'Three
Great Speeches*
Gray’d. Station. Sept. 1.—(Special.)
The Democracy of Jones county In
dulged in an old-fashioed basket piciiic
and barbecue yesterday and li&iened^lo
three rousing Democratic speeches,
Maj. A. O. Bacon. Judge Charles
Bartlett and Hon. Robert Whitfield
being the orators. It had been expected
that Hon. Steve Clay and Hon. Robert
It. Berner would also preach us sound
Democratic doctrine, but'Mr. Clay tel*
egraphed that Important committee
work unavoidably kept him In Atlanta
while (Mr. Berner sent word that he
had found it imperatively necessary Tb
go to Milledgeville. Jones county Dem
ocrats would have liked to have heard
these distinguished gentlemen, but with
three such men as Bacon, Bartlett and
Whitfield there was no dearth of Dem
ocratic doctrine and enthusiasm.
One notable feature of the gath
ering today was the number of ladles
present. There must have been at least
200 present. The Telegraph man wants
to, go on record as saying that any
county in Georgia that can show
greater proportion of pretty girls than
Jones will have to get up early m* the
morning and stay up late at night
Early In the morning the solid yeo
manry of the county, with their wives
and daughters and sweethearts, begun
to roll into Grays, and by the time the
Macon -train came in there were a: least
200 vehicles, ranging from a sulky to a
two-horse wagon tied out in the woods
surrounding Blount’s grove, where the
meeting was to be held. These were
steadily augmented by new arrivals un-
tlV there was a solid wall of them on
the four sides of the rope enclosing the
giove.
Tne number of people present was
variously estimated at from 1,250 to
2.00c.
When the (Macon train came In ..
brought a good crowd from lower down
the c’ounty. Among its passengers were
MaJ. Bacon, Judge Charles L. Bartlett
and Mrs. Bartlett. They were promptly
tart.en in hand -by- the co-mmittee and
escorted to the grove.
It was about 10:30 when the meeting
■was called to order, and Judge Roland
T. Ross in a neat little speech intro
duced -MaJ. A. O. Bacon as the bra tor
of the morning session.
'MaJ. Bacon began his speech by al
luding to the fact that the first political
speech* he had made in his life had
been made to the people of Jones coun
ty at Clinton* Tnw was twenty-six
years ago, during the reconstruction
struggle, when most of the men lu the
state were disfranchised and the bottle
for Democracy had to be fought by
the boys He had begun to battle for
Democracy then, and ever since he had
kept up the light, never shirking a
duty. Af. long as he lived, i»e said, he
proposed to keep on fighting for the
same principles.
The body of his speech was that clear-
cut, logical style of which Maj. Bacon
is perhaps the greatest master i.i Geor
gia today. There wai» no striving lfter
oratorical effects, no clap-trap, but one
after another he sent home telling body
blows on *the Republican-Populist com
bination, pi'jving by argument after
argument, founded on Incontrovertible
facts, that only through the Democratic
party con the people of the United
States expect relief from the unjust and
onerous burdens of taxation Imposed
by the Republican party, and for the
return of prosperity which will follow
a Juat and equitable solution of the fin
ancial question by which there will be
an ample supply of sound money.
•All during Maj. Bacon’s speech the
big crowd paid him the closest atten
tion. They were quick to see Ills strong
points and to show tlielr appreciation
or them. There were a number of Pop
ulism In the crowd and they appeared
to be much impressed by the speech.
When Maj. Bacon finished a lecess
was taken for dinner. Everybody who
has partaken of the fare at a Georgia
country barbecue and picnic knows
just what a glorious repast was pre
sented. Those who have not will, if
they take the Telegraph’s advice, take
l K, °W >ortUDll > r of attending it*
tlor frauds on the part of ihe Demo
cratic party when, if the charges
made ere true, and they are not,
was himself- the beneficiary of such
practices, having been elected to the
legislature from Washington county,
which has a negro majority of 400 votes.
Taking up the question of the Popu
list demand fOr the government owner
ship of railroad*. Judge Bartlett
showed that fhl3 demand could only be
secured by a constitutional amendment.
Then he called attention to the fact
that even If by some wild flight of fan
cy It could be imagined that the Pt>pu
lists had secured a majority In both
houses of congress and the president.
In order to secure the necessary amend
ment they yould have to have in the
first place a majority in two-thirds of
the state legislatures In order to have
congress Dass the amendment and then
have a majority of three-fourths of the
state legislators in order to ratify it.
And This, he said, is the measure which
the Pbpulists bank on to secure imme
diate relief.
Judge Bartlett also showed by the
record that Thomas E. Watson himself
had not when in congress been a con
sistent friend of silver, while the other
Populists in congress had aided In de-
•fektlng practical silver legislation, as
well ns tariff arid financial reforms.
These are only a few of the salient
features of the speech.
.After- Judge Bartlett had finished
Hon. John Anderson, candidate for the
legislature, made a short but eloquent
address. It seems that rumors have
been started that Mr. Anderson had
not always been loyal to the Democratic
party. He denied these rumbrs with
spirit; and said If they could be proven
he was ready to steD down and out.
R. B. Tripp, candidate for coroner,
also spoke. This concluded the speak-
ing and the crowd rapidly melted away.
•After the speaking Judge Bartlett,
•Mv>j. Bacon and (Mr. Whitfield held a
reception in various parts of tihe grove
and -were most cordially greeted.
The meeting was in every respect a
perfect success, and If the opinion of
experts in the politics cf the county
can be relied on old Jones can be put

COAX, MINE& START UP.
The Operatives About Massillon Consoli
date to Keep Down Wages.
Massillon, O., Sept. 1.—The operatives
of the Massillon district have determined
to end the strike in the mines of this dis
trict at once and on their own terms.
This morning notice was posted In this
city, signed by the “Massillon Consolida
ted Mining Company,” stating that 1,000
miners were wanted at once.. According
to the notice, 60 cents per ton will be
paid for all coal mined In three and one-
half foot veins, over one and oae-quarter-
lnch screens, and 5 cents extra per ton
in thinner veins. Two hundred negro mi
ners from West Virginia, will be brought
here to fill the places of the strikers.
It is the in&ntlon of the operators who
have pooled their interests In the Consoli
dated Company, only to open one or two
mines at first in the hope that old em
ployes will come to their terms when
they see that tlielr hopes of winning the
strike are gone. ;
Relief money from the Southern districts
where the miners are at work is not com
ing in as fast as was expected, or in sums
sufficient to prevent a great deal of suf
fering. With the winter coming on and
want staring the miners in the face the
operators btfljeve that the strikers will
submit to Uielr terms and return to work.
BUfPIiEJR MEADS TOTE SPLIT.
Regular Democratic Ticket Will Op
pose the Tllmanites.
Columbia, S. C.. Sept. l.-<At a meet
ing of Gn. Butler’s friends last night
It was determined to rum an independ
ent ticket against the regular Democ
racy, which Is known as the Tllmunited.
Legislative tickets favorable to Butler
will be nominated in every county and
It Is probable that a convention will be
held to nominate a full state ticket.
Arils action Is arousing much bitter*
ress and the Democratic executive com
mittee. of which Senator Irby is chair
man, has been called to meet on .Tues
day next to consider the political sltu-
atlCn. When the Independent conven
tion will be held has not been decided
upon.
GLASS WORKS RESUMING.
Pittsburg, Sept. 1.—A genearl and im
mediate resumption of work in the win
dow glass factories of the country is an
ticipated.
A half dozen firms have already accepted
the workers’ proposition, and, according
to Secretary Springer, after a conference
held here Monday, the other manufact
urers will effect a settlement, whsther the
meeting has any result or not.

ALer dinner iHon. Robert Whitfield of
Baldwin was Introduced as the first
speaker. He made « rattling speech,

the Silver question brlelly. In his opln-

ISPJS'SEVgP Russell Low-
Oil. The gut of the story was that Ten- ness
nyson Informed Lowell, with true Brit-
ish superciliousness, -that the English
people do not think much of -our
verses." Jr
Lowell replied with spirit: "Lord
Tennyton, It affords me pleasure to In
form you that the pebple In the-United
States don t care a hang what the En
glish people think."
Then ho Jumped the Populists, nnd
for an hour overwhelmed their claims
nnd pretensions with a etorm of argu
ment, humor and ridicule. He ihm „
• high tribute tb Judge Bartlett nnd inode
the entirely unnecessary announcement
that he proposed to do overytnlng that
could be done by him to insure Ins elec
tion and that of the entire Democratic
ticket. -'
Everybody who knows Col. Whitfield,
and there are few better known m»n
-n the state, knows that ne is not the
man to sulk In his tent at tiny time.
Judge Bartlett was the next speaker.
It is needless to say that his speech
