TOMORROW'S BATTLE,
Tomorrow the pc*>plo of thin sin to

notice by every voter that though the
Dewocmtto party hue been In control
of this state for many yearn them has
beeu In the oampalgn no Issue touch
ing stste matters of Importance enough
for tho people to divide npou. nils
means that during those long years tho
government given tho state by tho
Demoeratln party has been to nearly
perfect that no Issue can 1m mlseil he-
emwe of Its acts to which the people
would pay tho slightest attention. Th 0
fact which wo have Just staled might

It Is the duty of every Democrat to

To the Editor of Uio Telegraph: Mr.
John Tsenpts Graves, in his last laugh-
able gouoralltios of "apprehensions”

as ho aaya, fatted to awake the tncen-
.Uarios In Uio first Instance, now rings
tho fire alarm to their innoccut^vlc-
thn*. the motubera of the Democratic
party of Georgia. uweranc
His position la a peculiar one. ln
his firsi bundle of verbosity he as
serted tho alarming fact that "thous-
l-rlenda and Fellow-cltlzens: A great
political crittis is - upon this country,
and It Is not .the time for party 'strife,
but for prompt ami vigorous ‘action
that prosperity may be secured to the
Btute. Tho Republican convention of
the state of Georgia assembled in At
lanta August 20 for the purpose* of
holding ai consultation with tho lead
ing Republicans upon tho issues of
the day. They saw best not to put out
a state ticket Tlio party being unor
ganized, it would have been unwise
*m Iiavo raa d° 1111 effort to elect state
officers. The great Democratic party
in the state of Georgia, which has been
ruling this state for twenty-four years,
Is divided Into two parts. Each ‘party
claims to bo the true Democratic par,
ty, or representing true Democratic
Ideas.
I recognize only two parties In this
republic—the Republican party and tho
Democratic party. Now, there is a
party called by tho name of the
“eople’s party,” composed largely of
nil third-class Democrats and Republi
cans. The thought often arises in our
minds, where will this strife between
neighbors and fflends end, or what will
It load to?
The PeopleTa citttfy has for tDielr mot
to, "JSqtsal rights to all, and special
prtvllcgeato n one.” This is a good
motto, If the elemorot In the party had
the principle to ccirry it out. BOi dhe
element composing tlhe “new party”
baa always been dangerous to society
and good government. It has Otways
been opposed to the "brother In bSaek,”
and hue sought every wuy possible to
retard >thelr progress <a*nd now- fhey
come up asking our careful considera
tion In pollttaa'j affairs. Who.*: have
they done for us? They have lynched
us, burned us alive, shot us down as
brutes and organized thdmselves into
Hauls of conspliUtors .to strike down
’human liberty. Could any c>d-
ored mail vote wi-th such people? What
else have they given us or dome for us?
Thoy^mve disfigured us tn their news
papers, la every’ way possible, which is
wn outrage upon a clvlHred peopJe—es
pecially tn a country* filled with the
Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Every ATro-Amoricoi who has any
race pride about him at all ought, wtiti
one united effort, rise up and over
throw this element with their votes n<t
Che next election. They represent us
as boasts carrying their Trtis:ers about,
und tt In their pUm to rfdo Into office
on our votes; hut they wiH never rtde
into office on mtne, and if I had a thou
sand votes I would cast them a^:l Just
to defeat such an elemen*t as tfils.
Tho ex unnle of Kolb In Alabama \e
enoueh for any man with nny Judgment
to deride the contest as to how he
should vote. An open letter was circu
lated ln Alabama »ld to have been
written by him to a friend tvs follows:
"By all means vote the negro, if you
have to promise him anything to catch
hU vote.” Kolb was the Populist can
didate for governor in Alabama and
was badly beaten, as he should have
been. A man representing such princi
ples always should be defeated. .
The People’s party seek to array ev
ery colored voter agalnot the Republi
can party—the only party that ever
promised us anythin*, except equal
rights before the law. and If they were
to promise anything else I believe there
are enough honest men In the party <0
make good the promise.
The Populists are ransacking the
English language to find words atrong
enough to denounce the party to which
we belong, 1n order to gain our votes—

Read 6i*d think, .my colored friendi,
before you coot your vote.
The People's party charges that all
colored school teachers and preachers
the state are bought up by the Demo
cratic party, which Is a statement with
out foundation, and In fact one that
ought to be denounced by every lover
race prlo as an intuit to the whole race.
Our faces may be as black aa ink, but
hearts are as pure as men ever knew.
The verdict wall be rendered on October
8, and I hope such men will be burled
neatti the frowns of every lover of race
pride.
I trust that every true and tried Repub.
llean will refuse to support the Populist
party, which I conceive to be tne sworn
enemy of the negro race.

A PALPABLE ERROR.
The Savanrtoh Press Give* a Lesson
Sm FJriance Ito a Contemporary.
Our good friend down on the Sevan
walh Press is atilt writing aln-gle stand.
u.rd editorials for his bright Press usd
at iBhe wane time making ringing
speeches ln south Georgia for o double
st art fined candidate for governor.—Au
gusts Herald.
The Press Is not ndvodatlng a Single
stnirdarid, either of gold or saver. Our
Augusta contemporary has not read
straight. The Press believes In sl?ver If
tt can be preserved upon a parity. This
4s wlDot the Chicago platform calls for
and that Is what 'the Georgia platform
oatls for. The present Democraitib enn-
dHate for governor was not nominated
upon a 16 to 1 ipkttform. Our Augusta
friend w4tl see a groat difference be-
itiween the state convention platform
sr.d the 'WarrerytorV platform. One
would result 'In real bHnelw.'llsm—gold
nnd stiver dollars -with the edme pur
chasing and debt-paying power—tthe
Other would result In ithe single silver
standard of featherweight Blivet
‘dollars.'’
The moan who supports the st&tc
nation’ll Democratic platform Was no
trouble. He (adheres to a sound and
safe currency. True bimetallism means
(that a silver dollar rfhvilt be us. good ns
a gold dollar. If (the Herald, wl ] read
Mr. Atkinson’s- speeches he will find
pretty much 'the same doctrine .an
nounced. . . .
The Mme has nolt came when there
shall be a mStMtc stttm'diwd. (among
Democrats In Georgia. Tarty men arc
not measured by troy weight. They are
not ststed up by tlhe number, of grains
of silver dhey whnt in a dollar. Demo-
criits honestly differ In otits matter.
The party Is unlade up of tnteMgent
and ihtnklnig men who form their own
conclusions. This 1s <t business mttttor
rather (than a polt’toal question,
wilt be settled by the demands of the
business world, ra ther than by the dicta
of party conventions. People In couth
Georgia are not trying to push each
cither out of the party because some
body may think there should be or
should not be-uo mariy grntns of silver tn
she doTSUr. The “free silver” fad wWl
rage for olwhtle tike the aub-trei3nry
and other crazes. The Democratic
party, meainwhllc, will move right along
and our Augusta, friend wlH go along
with it.—Savaurntth Press.

Curious Speech of a PopuMst to. Coffee
County.
The Douglas Breeze giv« the -follow,
lng oxltiuct «s the eenriment Of a .white
man In a speech o* a Populist meeting
ln Coffee county.
He -wns preceded by Tom Watson’i
negro emfissary, wWo declared “that the
rising generation of whites and blacks
wtU come up tn equal respeots." and
the white Populists present approved
and apptauded his Insulting Utterances:
"The negro wns followed by a white
man. Charlie Purvis, who opened his
speech by announcing that the only dif
ference between him and the negroes
was "he was n while nigger white they
were 'black niggers.'
"Ho complained rifsit the negroes
were not allowed 'to rfit on 'the Jury
He said 'that the only favor he had re
celved above the blacks wto ho Hod
been allowed to cat at the tables of 1he
white people. He appealed -to the pas
stone of ithe negroes by testing that the
Democratic party was responsible for
all the lynchlngs t!*a.t occurred ln the
South: thUt tt made bis heart bleed
to think of the wrongs 'that had been In.
fllcto on 'the poor nigger by that party.

to DDgulse Says Bcachey McIntosh.
The matter of producing diversified
crop3 by toe farmers of southwest
Georsfri—end of toe entire South for
that matter—1* noit a question of re
cent ngltutlca by toe Herald. Ever
,lnc« tire first edMcm of this paper iv»
lrave endeavored ito persuade toe farm
ers to 1st all cotton farming alone, nnd
to a certain extent it has been done,
but qyt to tWtt measure which should
obtain In ortier to place (this section
upon a self-sustaining basis.
Out the Herald believes 'that tWIs
year's experience (Vito 6 cent cotton
will Induce toe farmers to reform their
methods.
The day of 10 cenlt Canton <s pa'st. .
and it Is, no doubt. a> good thing. So
long os touit price (held, It was utterly
useless to urge Southern farmers to
diversify their crops and become self-
supporting. (But tt Is going to come out
all right.
The farmers have every reason to re
gard the (Jaw price of cotton, under
•which they (have groaned, as a ble33lng
tn disguise. They cannot but appertetate
toe lesson. They aan hold itlhelr collton
