Maj. A. 0. Bacon’s Splendid Address
to tlie People of Bibb County
Last Night.
BID GOOD SERVICE FOR BARTLETT
“The Msb Who Divides Clio White Peo
ple and Blokes Che Negro Up Balance
of Power Is a Worse (s«mjr Than
the Mob With Che Torch,”
Maj. 'A\ O. Bacon delivered one of
the most telling appeals to the De
mocracy of Bibb county at the 'Acad
emy of Music last night heard in this
city since the campaign opened.
The Academy was comfortably filled
with the most intelligent people of
on and Bibb county. In the bal-
,y were nwny ladies and th^r es
corts. while -in ? the gallrey —-
number of colored people.
CoiVr.^A. Nisbet, president of the
Eartlolt campaign club, was the first
spokesman. He Introducde Hon. N. E.
Harris in a few brief remarks, amid
the cheeVs of the audience.
Col. (Harris arose and said that It
was somewhat unusual for the intro
ducer to bi introduced, but that it was
probable th^t ?ome of the audience did
not know hlhri. It was said by a gentle
man a few d^ys ago, he said, that the
division in the, white race had come to
stay. He did i^ot knw whether it had
or not, and could not say whether the
man wus right 'or wrong, but emer
gencies always call out the rlgh men.
You remember hW the cross roads
•politician, hes aid.' rushed to the fron
in that great struggle that«ehook this
country and (how soon they were sifted
out. You also remember how the great
leaders finally took their places at the
front. The samp rule that applied then
will apply nafr. Hp then paid a high
tribute to <Mwj. Macon in that easy,
graceful manner for which he is noted.
iMaJ. Bap on aroso amid great ap
plause, anil as he-faded the audience
the applause Increased. (He began his
remarks' by saying:
• “Ladles and Fellow Citizens: I thank
•you sincerely for the cordiality of your
reception. I regret that my distin
guished friend hay anything to say
about me. I had asked him not to say
anything about me. I am here for the
purpose of speaking in the cause of
another one of your fellow citizens.
“We have been lulled into security
in this county because for a quarter of
a century we have had practically only
, one party. But if each man thinks
•that he can neglect his dui^ in this
district he will find that he will make
at .mistake. If you will pardoq me I
will endeavor to convert .every, one. of
you into an apostle. This’ is not a mo
ment ito advance any one man, but it
UKSn Issue that affects this whole
county. It matters not In some counties
Wow people vote, as their voting is a
mere matter of form, hut in this
county It is different, and if ihe people
would have good governmen t we
should be careful how we vote, and it
is necessary to good government to
know how we vote end for whom we
vote. If the community is apathetic,
then I fear we will have bad govern
ment. We have an important stake in
the questions at issue and it is not a
movement for one man only. ** is not
Ito be denied that we have had dissatis
faction in this country. There is ft
.party thaJt says the Democratic party
should be put out of poweiv ana, on
the other hand, there are others who
want that’ party continued. 'Which
party Is right? This is the question I
intend to discuss with you. I know
that most of you are business men,
and therefore I am going to discuss
those measures of most dntere3 'to you*
I must say, as far as I have been able
.to determine, that we have never be
fore had such an important federal
election before us ns the one now ap-
preaching. This country has important
Interest* to subserve and ne must
nnt on Tuoykiy two weeks hence bring
2,000 or 3,000 voters, but 6,000 out .® f
on that day. As a matter of county pride
every man should bo ready on that day
to do all ho can, but we have more than
that—we have material interest and this
Interest is the success of the Democratic
party in the next election. I want to
state a few facts In connection with two
Important subjects. They oro awfully dry
and therefore I will not go into detai s,
but sufficiently for each man who Is wil
ling to be an apostle not only to go out
on election day and not only do his duty,
but see that every other man does his
duty. The tariff and financial questions
are the questions so for as federal poli
tics go that concern whether a man’s
pocket is to be full or empty. The finan
cial question Is to deolde whether a man
shall have his proper reward for his labor
or industry. But It matters not if a man
does make money If he cannot keep it In
his pocket, and the tariff question has
great bearing on his keeping It there.
"My friends, there are eome very Im
portant questions we ought to know.
Take my friend Cabaniss over there—he
Is w to his eyes in business every day
and.«Mon’t study these questions. This
matt It of statistics has grown to be a
very perfect ysi«-m and men sit down and
flgure and arrive at clear conclusions. The
Statisticians have been figuring on the
tariff question and all have come to this
tonclusfcra and admit ft that under the
McKinley law the. state of Georgia each
year paid between 8U».000.000 and 326,000,000
lo the manufacturers. Say the govern
ment gets two-thirds of thla-one-thtrd
goes into the pockets of the people to
whom they owe not one dollar. We don’t
Ice It, but we pay it. Money don’t drop
from the skies, and the fact remains that
the people of Georgia paid 310,000,000 to
people whom they did not owe a cent.
Under the McKinley law a senate com
mittee was appointed composed of Re
publicans, and the committee after a very
exhaustive report, stated that the duty
on protected goods cost the people ji«,-
0000.000. Is this & matter of favoritism or
does It put dollars and cents in your
pockets? There seems to a dislocation
of the financial system In this country.
Now what are the positions of the va
rious parties in this country? The Re
publican party claims to be the bi-metal
lists’ party, but they did not say no until
they aaw the demands of the people. The
Democratic party Is the party for sound
currency anil the advocate of bimetall
ism. All men agree that it is essenbfcl
that we shall have the coinage of both
gold and sliver. There are many men who
claim to favor bimetallism, but when the
question arises they throw obstacles In
the way and show themselves to be gold
monomeUJlists. In any financial scheme
the man who advocates an unsound sil
ver dollar is no friend to his country It
Is a problem to be solved how both gold
and sliver can be coined and neither be
Inferior to the other. That Is the ground
of the Democratic party. The business
Interests of the country demand it.
have now practically a gold basis.
have no law making it, but a matt
get a demand paid by the government In
any kind of money, is there anything
connected with the financial status of the
country' enacted by the Democrats? And
yet on account of this dislocation of
finances and because of this stringency
therb are those who say the Democratic
party should not be retained in {HwtT.
If the Democratic party don’t prevail
what does prevail? If the Democratic
candddate for congress in this district la
not elected what Is the result? There la
no Republican running against him and
I wish there wan, but if the Democratic
nominee is defeated what will be the ef
fect? It won’t put the Populist party in
power: that to an Impossibility. This fight
to a mere stde-shoiw; they have no na
tional party,Mn three-fourths of the coun
try the Populist party to unknown. There
fore the defeat of the Democratic nomi
nee In this district does not mean a vic
tory for the Populist party, but it means
a weakening of the Democratic party and
helps the Republican party.
"Shall things stay ae they are? Wall
street says they shall. Wall street con
trols the Republican party. Shall the
people do that which shall advance their
Interests or do th-t which In Indifferent?
The Indifference of the people to lament
able. Should we sit still and pay no at
tention to the party that Is to prevail?
Are we content to .be >fleeced forever?
Are wo content in this country of bound
less resources that *we should have a
country without development, without
prosperity and without advancement?
No! If you are content that there should
be no progress, no advancement, then you
should take no Interest in political affairs.
If you want to see the people happy and
prosperous then don’t he indifferent to the
supremacy of tho party that will do you
the greatest good. That McKinley tow
enacted By the Republican party has been
repealed—the Democrats repealed that
law. Is that tariff reform to be lost or
repealed?” Here Maj. Bacon paid a high
tribute to Judge Bartlett and spoke of
the necessity of his election.
“My friends, there are a great many
deluded people in this country,” continued
the speaker. "There never was a people
with ouch environments as we have:
there never was a people on the fact of
the earth situated as we arc. We of all
pople on the earth are not to be divided.
Twenty-seven years ago when a great
government sought to destroy the men
and women of this people the danger was
not so great as it to now, for then the
whole people were united, and I say now,
regardless of whether it hurts me, that
this Is a white man's country, and the
White man who seeks to divide the white
people and make the negro the balance
of power is a worse enemy to the peace
of this country than the man who in
vades with the torch. We are not going
to have In this great state of Georgia any
negro rule. I will be the last man who
will endeavor to take from any negro
that which belongs to him and I believe
In giving him equal rights before tho
law, but I want it to be understood that
this to a white man’s country, the white
man mus rule.” Maj. Bacon concluded
wh a splendid tribute to the party and
strong appeal to the people to roll up
big majority for Judge Bartlett.
Col. R. A. Ntobet arose and said: "Feb
low citizens, tho argument is exhausted;
stand by your arms; .6,000 majority for
Charles L. Bartlett.
The audience was ono of the most
thuaiastlc ever seen In the Academy qf
Music, and at times the applause was so
deafening that the speaker could not be
heard, he general opinion of those who
heard It was that It was one of the ablest
speeches ever heard in Macon.

Boston, Oet. 20.—Tho long-looked-for
haltle between Allx and Directum
took place this afternoon nntl Alix easi

or less disappointing In Its character,
atul In tho premhturo withdrawal
Directum, still tho result wns no sur

and action of the two horses. Up
Inst might tho betting, If there was
any such, was la Dircctum's favor.
Ills working, however, has not been
satisfactory, and this morning
tide was in favor of Allx. Starting
In at $100 to $00 In her favor, the odds
Increased until just before the race
$100 to $00 was offered in favor
Allx. The condition of tho track and
weather was'perfoot. A bright, cloud
less sky, mild weather and no wind
served to bring out n crowd that num
bered fully $16,000.
It was exactly 2 o'clock when tho
Bturter’s bell called AKx und Directum
to the track nud Directum was quickly
on hand, Allx responding a few mo
ments later. Allx secured tho polo,
took but ono scoring to get a good send-
off,- Allx having her nose slightly
the lead. To tho hrst turn sho grad
ually left Directum, until nt the quay
ter there was u good three lengths be
tween them. After passing tho upper
turn and coming into tlie stretch DI-
reotum appeared to ho closing up on,
the leader. Ho gained but little, how
ever, and ns they came down tho
stretch Allx lmd a lead of nearly tlv-
leugths, which could not bo lessened,
and she finished in it jog In 2:00. Allx
trotted beautifully with neither n skip
uor a break during tho heat, and Di
rectum was Steady .after passing tho
quarter.
In -the second heat AUx came down to
tho -wire half a legth ahead of Directum,
and -they were sent back for another
start. The next time they got a beautl
ful send-off. When the word was given
Allx shot ahead like a rockat, and us
oho headed for the qunrter post excla
mations of "See her ro!” could bo heard
In every direction. Ami go she did,
leaving Directum so far In the rear that
he was never In the race during the
heat. At the quarter »h6 led -the stal
lion by five lengths, and tt,6re was no
stopping her. To the half-mile she kept
pulling ahead, and -when that point was
passed the mare was trotting in beau
tiful form and was not forced In the
slightest. After passing the three-quar
ters. Alix -was so far In the lead that
there were some feara for distance for
Directum, but McDowell kindly pulled,
and Allx finished as she pleased with
Directum six lengths behind her. The
time was -the samo to the quarter as
in ithe first ttieat. blit the remaining
quarters were considerably slower.
Tlmo for the mile. 2:14 3-4.
It was plain that Directum was no
match for the turf queen, and that
thoro was something surely tho matter
with him. After the -horsc3 had gone
to the stable there were humors that
Directum had gone lame and sore, ami
that ho would be withdrawn. This was

Chairman Democratic Executive Com
mittee.
R. L. Berner,
Chairman Democratlo Campaign Com
mittee.
All the party leaders agree that
caucus Is absolutely necessary and
there le no doubt that a caucus will bo
held. If the members of the legislature
are disposed to listen to tho wisdom
of the men who have been fighting at
the head of tho line.
The only urgumcm advanced against
a caucus' Is that It Is not necessary,
because there are no candidates ln the
field but Democrats. While this le truo
at the present 'time, and 'there Is not
likely to be nny but Democratic can
didates, yet the Populists would cor-
taliily solidly support that Democrat
who had been least aggressive ln flitting
them, thus placing pstrty doVotlou at
a discount ln every conflict.
This Is Just whnt every good Demo
crat wu-ntjt to avoid, and for that reel-
all agree that a mucus must be held.

Atlanta, Oot. ‘20-WwitgTj-We Trte-
graph’s exposure of llie troubles of tho
Southern Guarantee (Loan Company
’and tho Equitable Loan und Security
Company, -whose business has been de
clared flraudulent by the pofitofllc© au
thorities at Washington, hns been the
sensation of the day. The local papers
have taken up the story, and other de
velopments have been added,
It appears today that State Treasurer
Hardeman wns mode president of the
'Southern," but after the governmOni’s
brand of “fraud'* was put upon It he
notified the law firm of Dorsoy, Brews
ter & Howell, at whoso solicitation he
allowed the use of his name, that he
could no longer continue that privilege.
Col. Hardeman gives .the following
HU'teincnt of his connection with ihu
company:
was approached by a legal firm
which stated that an Investigation of
the business had been made and found
to be perfectly legitimate. I .was asked
to accept the presidency of the compa
ny, which Wiifi based on sound buslneM
principles, and I did so.
“Since. *t has been passed by the rul
ing of the governmenl's attorneys ns a
lottery, I have tendered my resignation
as president, for,while I believed the
business to iperfectly legitimate, having
no lottery features about it, still I can
not afford -to be connected with u com
pany dowsed by itho government «« a
lottery/'
Governor Northen today also furnishes
lengthy statement for publication,
accounting for hto name being used by
the Southern. He was alao solicited by
Messrs. Dorsey, Brewster & Howell, und
relied upon itiielr judgment In the mat
ter. Tho governor's statement is more
extended, but virtually the same an
given In the Telegraph this morning.
