BJrnesvllle, Aug. 25—(Special).—The
jreat Democratic rail)' at Barnesvllle
tod.iy wa* a magnificent success- A
great crowd met Gere. Gordon and
Gen. Evans at * the depot, 'the band
I>1 lying “Dixie” as they alighted from
the cars, and marched to a beautiful
grove. As the two old war-scarred
veterans sat upon the rostrum facing
the large audience, they presented in
themselves living pictures of holy
memories. Gen. Evans was looking
well. Nobler than any ephaph upon
his tombstone as statesman or warrior
will be the grand work done for the
last thirty years in the cause of the
Maxtor, ni* defeat ha* made him con
queror, and has aroused in the hearts
of ail the people a peculiar tenderness
uf fee Sing for him.
Gen. Gordon was the same as ever—
majestic of mein, composed: his very
looks inspiring admiration.
Dr. J. P . Thurman delivered the
opening address of yrelceme, followed
by MaJ. T. J. Hunt, who Introduced
the speakers.
Get). Evans spoke llrst. He said:
FeUon^teltlxeus: X have no gauge to

Hunt), and for Gy;, presence of this

Admitting tout there are troubles ex

party, but brougut upon US by the ad

popular government una of Democratic
policy, 1 slufl still direct your alteu-
Uou so the fact that wv aresurruuna-

warmest hope that beler times ore ly

dence has been smiling upon the state
of Oeorgta. We are minting hog and
hominy In abundance lor our people,
and there Is but litti’e of dlSMMlsfactlon
throughout the state. We are a thrifty
' people. In spite of the difficulties by
which we are eurrouuded, and the em
barrassment* under which we suffer
are not occasioned by reason of any
fault of our own, nor by reason of any
failure of Providence on our behalf,
but; simply because we have been
brought Into these straits through long
depressing lnflunccc of a policy which
lias held this country by the throat for
u whole generation. X shall not speak
today for the purpose of making any
upologle* whatsoever for any failure
that the Democratic parly may have
made to meet public expectation, for 1
conceive that no such apologies are
necessary. I shall talk to you concern
ing straight, pure Democratic princi
ples, for the reason that I believe that
those principles am found 111 the very
constitutional structure of our govern,
ment: tlut they are principle* essen*
tial to the development of truth, hu
man right* and human liberties; that
they are eternal principles, and that
they will prevail In this land to bring
peace and prtMp<>rlty to our entire peo-
ple. The IX'mocratic principles are the
rock upon which the people of this
groat nation may build live fabric
of a government that ahall be a
model for all the nations of the whole
wnrtd. 1 dmII speak fully and plainly

K is very evWewt there la a deter
mined effort made throughout Dhts en
tire country of ours to produce dlsentts-
faction with Democratic policy. Demo
cratic principles mid the ’Democratic
pai%. 1 sha' i not assail the motive by
which 'tirii disiutisfaction is attempt
ed to he engendered. It is in a large
l*rt merely partisan; It ie In some
part on account of mistake. Reasonable
men will not listen to the demdgogue
Who seek* Co dlesalisfy tiie people with
the principles nnd policy of the Deino-
crasic party. Ybu observe that every
difference that exists among Demo
crats Upon even trivial Issues Inside of
Democratic lines, has been magnified
and exaggerated a* If those differences
were of such a character as to forbid
the possibility of corning to any agree
ment. Every farm re that has been
made by the Democmtc puny to over
come the terrible obstacles which it has
encountered in Its efforts to reform this
government, and to restore the rights
of the people to tin- people uud bring
back this entire nation once more to
Its conviltubonal privileges has been
magnified into some desperate want of
fealty to principle and some desperate
lack of patriotism. 1 have no sympathy
whatever with these attempts upon
z*ltt k ground to breed micb discontent
and brtng our people throughout thl®
nttfc/n into discord. I regret that even
Democrat* have, here ami there. lent

(Cheer*.) L*T us deprecate all division
of ev*ery kind. They are the bane of
good partie* vtnd should wot be encour
aged. I know of no such division—no
such proper cUestAci'tion of Demo
crat* as "Jdmin'istr.rtifon Democrats*'
and “anttahlmiatetraicion" Democrats.
1 do not understand fha>t we have any
proper cUBailicration of ourselves as
•gold bug" Democrat* and "sliver
crank" Democrat*. Thesre are epithets
that cire upplle to u« by blit* enemies
of Democracg, and I 'have tfearned not
to go to my enemy and not to borrow
ineihod® from those who oppose my
party. I am, as you are, Democratic
from principle and from conviction, be
lieving in my deepeat heart that my
pa'trtorto duty to my people und my
country lies in my standing firmly, fair
and square, always, through thick and
ihln. In disappointment and In success,
in defea't or in overthrow, by the party
of canetftutlonal liberty for this coun
try. ( EntihuaHastic cheers.)
Some of you may meet with this
statement: Thud the Democratic party
ha« not fulfilled its pledges. Let me
frankly answer that the pledges of the
Democratic party made in its platform
•have not yet been fulfilled; but I nm
not going 'to desert my party Just sim
ply because obstacles have been thrown
in their way, Which up to this day
have prevented them from accomplish
ing the great hope of the party. (Ap
plause.) JTou state to me that some
Democrats have Ignored the principles
of the party and (using your own
words) "fbey <are not good enough Dem
ocrats for you."'Let that be true; but
I did not learn in the Confederate war
to crttfi down my flag because some
body is wot faithful, and I have not
learned to betray my church because
some men were hypocrites. (Tumult
uous applause.) *
You say to me the party Is in such
peril, such dissensions exist that it is
on the eve of overthrow and that it
will soon cense to have any power in
the United States. Do you understand
that In using that argument with me
you are asking me to desert the party
In the time ot its distress? I uAVS
learned In my life that the hour of need
—of danger—of peril, la the time when
a man show* hi* manhood, his fealty to
principle and ht* faithfulness to his
friends. (Applause.) Were all the East
to slough and all the West to desert
and the Democratic flag should be com.
polled to retire from its present place
on the crest of Its present high achieve
ments. I would march with that flag
still in the hour of defeat and show my
self to be a true Democrat—true to
the principle, of my party and my peo
ple in the dark hour of Its defeat. (Ap-
ptauie).
I have witnessed recently tn exhibi
tion of Democratic feakty that charmed
my soul. Going lately at the command
of parties interested in our great Inter
national exttosltion to the city of Wash
ington, It fell to my lot to ’be a witness
of the fln.il struggle of Democracy with
Its great antagonist In the celebrated
tariff controversy. I sat in the gallery
and listened to thus* brief, pungent,
earnest discussion* pro nnd con, and
saw the shots ftred at the South and
the Democratic party, and 1 listened
to replies of Northern and Southern
Democrats. It waa jt severe bnleal.
But the Democrat* were true In their
fealty to party principles. This filled me
with hope. In the gallery as I was I
felt like giving three cheers for Dem
ocracy. Bet us criticise our congress
men no more. They have trial* to un
dergo. As I looked around me I saw
the portrait of Jefferaon, and he seemed
to smile upon Democratic efTort to
uphold his principles. We have reason
to take hope nnd courage. We aye as
sailed today by the same old enemy
that has confronted us for thirty odd
years: the antagonism between Democ
racy and Republicanism Is a vital one
and the conflict Is absolutely irrepressi
ble. There Is no compromise between
these two antagonists and no truce for
one single hour can* exist between these
two armies. One bolds to one theory
ot government directly opposite to ths
other. The Republican party Is the
creature of fanaticism; the Democratic
party originated among the fwthere who
constructed the conetltutlon of our
country. The Republican party, foster-
ed by sectional feeling, sprang Into ex
istence In a time bf sectional discord;
the Democratic party /> the national
party, attempting at all times to keep
peace among the nation and to produce
equal prosperity among the states and
equal rights among the people. The
Republican party la proud, pampered,
arrogant and -powerful; it can be met
with suoceaa only by the Democratic
party. Shalt we help that terrible foe
of popular liberty and human right by
deserting Democracy? Has the time
come when these Georgians will. In any
possible way, give aid to thl* enemy of
our country? Book at lta record tor
thirty-four yeare and answer. It has
created that vast public defljt under
wMch we have been suffering; It found
ed, on nocount of that debt, that na
tlonal bank syatem which we desire to
rofonm; It has constructed under that
national bank system a financial policy
that has been for the egpeclal benefit
of Its own section: It took the money of
our people that was to be paid at one
price and turned It Into the hands of
these great corporations at a price
double to (hem who bought It. It brlgl-
nated the Idea that those bonds and the
Interest on them should be paid exclu
sively tn gold; R made this vaat debt
free from all taxation, and It com
menced to overthrow your silver by the
icu of 1572. It then enacted the Mc
Kinley bIH; passed the federal election
law. which gave (he power to the party
In power to put a bayonet by your side
whenever you came to vote: It bank
rupted the treasury of the United
flutes, leaving K without a dollar do
pay Its debts, and wKh crippled re
sources. It ha* obstructed every amend
ment made by the people, through the
Democratic party, for the reform of evil
and It has topresaed the people of this
land with the heavy weight of lu Iron
hand: and now K stands up snd threat
ens this country with a return of Its
own party Into power through the hope
that (hi* can be accomplished by the
aid of the Populist* and the dissension
In the Democratic party. Fellow Geer
gtane, shall we give them that hope
shall we give them that aid? There It
common standing ground for us all,
whether we are Democrats or Populists.
Here is a Dbaltlon where we may stand
and look the situation of our country
over fairly anti In the fttce. You will
sutler, lust as I will suffer, by over
throw of the Democratic party. Rally
tt> the standard; roll up a big majority;
encourage your leader; be true to him
and to yourselves. your state and your
country. Do not divide for any cause
Democracy is our only hope. It repre
sents constitutional liberty.
Great applause followed this speech
sptsed section as the home of repoae
and security, and therefore as che most
inviting Held for enterprise and invest
ment.
What wu* the reason for it? Why the
South the home of repose? How long
will it be the home of freedom and ee-
curlty? The &)uth has been free from
violence because Her peop.e have been
conservative and remained united.
There was homogenWy of feeling and
purpose. Our people have been guided
by -wise counsel and hnve followed con
servative principles, and so long us
they follow wise leaders and adapt
conservative principles they Wi.l enjoy
those condition* of peace and repose
and security. But we, too, are threat
ened. Now, fnere are two political par
ties contending for the maatery. Both
parties have their platform and advo
cates. The Populists mude one wise
demand in their platform—the income
tax. The Democrats have given them
that. The Populists 'have one plank
they do not say much about. That glo
rious nMn, Gen. Evans, who tired the
last shot at Appomattox (great cheer
ing) h-l.-already jal ed your atten|Pioo to
mat railroad plank. What are me Pop
ulists thinking of ,to demand the pur
chase and oerutkm of ull the vast rail-
roa systems of this, vust eourftry—<1
system of 180,000 miles of road, which
cost eleven thousand imilltons ot dol
lars. 'Where is the money -to come from
for the purchase? The Populists say
from the governbieot, bun the govern
ment has no money except eucn as it
raised from the people by taxes. This
la a people’s government, not u mon
archy, und -the -people support the gov
eminent. Every dollar added -to gov
ernment tax Is a tax on the pockets of
the people. Conservatism rejects such
a scheme. Common sense eschews it.
Business Judgment recot.s at, the very
suggestion of such a purchase. But
even if purchase could be made satis-
Dactorily (nnd it never could) to the
stockholders and bondholders, then
who would operate the railroad*? We
in Georgia have condemned the policy
of even tbs state running the sjllrouda.
Georgia could not run a Short line suc

Gen. Gordon objected to Che Popu

ocrats are for free coinage, but every
dollar ahull be -the equal of every other

main effort was to prove that "the Bern-
--ratlc party has shown ltai-lf Inc*; ible
of ruling the country tn a manner sitle-
faclory, not only to the majority or tne
people, but even to the large and respect
able minority which helped to compose
it.” He said the principal difficulty
with the Democratic party was, as It
had been .n the’past. It* great majority
resided In the South. Those people, he
said, were Incapable of appreciating the
prosperity which had come to the North
and to the country through the Republi
can party. Then, too, the Democratic
party bad been a iaiiure because they had
no underlying principle on w^ilch to be
united. Mr. Reed reviewed the work ac
complished by tbe government -tun ig the
post year, pointing out what had been ac
complished, and what had been done was
in a slow and slovsnly way, and in a man.
ner of tne least possible service to tbs
country. After tbe repeal of the purchas

would give a reasonable assurance that
the basis established would b* one that
would be permanent, at least BO long a*

Instead, they had or were about to make

New Orleans, Aug. 23.—From Inform
ation received on tho steamer Uusale
of the .Southern Pacific line, which ves-
sel arrived last night, tho Nicaraguan
government lm» defied (lie government,
of l»oth tile United State, nnd Great
Britain, nnd lta. taken Into custody
representative, of both nation.. The
itommander. of tho war vc.hc1h, which
hnve been nt the neat of the disturb
ance for tlu> past month, have stood
tamely by nnd permitted the soldiers
of Nicaragua to arrest the subjects of
tlicir respective countries and made no
protest, nnd the consequence of tills
npathy may be the loss of possibly a
dozen lives and the confiscation of the
property of flic prisoners.
When tho GumiIc left, Bluelicld. ln.t
Sunday Kie people of that town were
hourly 4 n anticipation of the Nicarag
uans attempting further indignities nud
threatening Iho pence of the place by

town, where they are to be accorded

manner connected with tbe uprising of

men of prominence hi the reservation
and pos.es.cd of considerable means.
To thl. fact is ascribed their arrest, ns
the Nicaraguans are said to lieoanc tho
owners of the properly of the prison
er*. If the men are found to be guilty
or are so declared by the tribunal be
fore which they are to appear,
property of the prisoners will go to
help till the depleted coffer, of the op-
presxcrs ot the reservation, sod If »!>*
