— THE MACON TELEGRAPH KHaHfihfd 1136. ) ftltfrapk Publishing Co., Publisher, j MACON, GA.. S m of mm 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.

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.

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.
