A FIERCE ASSAULT ON THE OB-
CANIZED DEMOCRACY.
The Parson Lays Sown the Planks
of His Platform, Declaring In Fa

System •
A. L. Habkis, a prominent Republi
can of Atlanta, says : ‘‘We Republi

Special to Telegraph sod Messenger.
Augusta, Ga., January 31.—Dr.
Felton was introduced by Judge
Hook, and spoke to-night to a large
audience. He opened bv referrin-
flic appearance, whe
he 'delivered a valedictory address'
in Augusta years ago. He referred
gracefully to his preceptors, Chas. J.
Jenkins. Joseph Eve and Paul Eve.
It was here he cast his first vote and
subscribed for his first newspaper.
He was a Whig until that party
went to pieces—then voted as a Dem
ocrat, and has never cast a vote out
side of the Democratic party.
He came to take apart the present
(and future of Georgia. The main
spring of all progress, improvement,
wealth and power is local attach
ment strengthened by local self-
iutcrcst “AH of you,” he contin
ued, “are identified with Georgia.’’
Entering npon sectionalistic clan
ship, he reviewed the causes that
made the Sooth sectional, which
were slavery before and seif-defense
after the war. Those canses have
been removed, but their effects re
main. By reason of them the South
is sitting still while the North and
West are advancing. We have a
solid South opposed to a solid
North.
What wo want is a restoration of
mutual brotherhood. The way to
get it is through independence in
politics. The people should take
charge of the government, and not
submit to packed conventions. They
would then have an impartial ad
ministration of public affairs. They
should do this by the ballot box and
not leave public affairs to a few men
who absorb ail the emoluments, dis
tribute the offices among their
friends, and denounce those who op
pose them as disorganizes. The
Independents mean that the people
shall be in charge of their own af
fairs—the masters, not the servants,
of public officials.
He criticised iu severe terms the
convention methods, particularizing
npon the late gubernatorial conven
tion to show how proficiently politi
cians could over-ride the people;
how a mee’iug, perhaps in a rear
room, could send mpn to represent
Augusta in the organized conven
tion ; how the State’s interest could
be lost sight of in the blind advance
ment of their personal favorite. He
did not propose to criticise the men
—he presumed they were all politi
cally-perlect-^but be criticised their
methods. ^Tho convention adopted

Number 21
Upon the Windcm bonds he tek
an opposite side to Hill. He ex
pressed . himself firmly against the
Georgia repudiated bonds, in favor
of silver certificates, silver and gold
money, and unlimited currency. lie
was especially in favoi of the silver
dollar or four hundred and twelve
grains, which he helped bring back
into use. He wants the treasury to
overflow with them. Georgia is not
prosperoos. Its planting interest
were never in such jeopardy as now.
Absolute starvation stares ■'the. la
borer in the face.
THE TABIFF.
He believed in the repeal of the
internal revenue, but the country
can’t afford to do it. The Democrat
ic i.c House has justsaddlcd a debt of
$250,000,000 upon the country. We
must wait.
The government shonid raise a
revenue by a tariff on imports.
Every advocate of free trade is an ad
vocate of direct taxation, which may
mean the sale of vonr homes. We
want a tariff not only for revenue
but for protection. Georgia is
the Massachusetts of the South, and
Augusta the Lowell of the State.
Richmond county needs protection
more than any county under the sun.
Don’t strike down the system that
protects you from European pauper
labor and the grasping capitalist.
The farmer here anil around Savan
nah demands and needs protection.
Shall we sit dreaming—dreaming of
an antiquated system—when all the
North and West is growing rich.
Let us come up and build up tho
country.
The speaker then touched upon
the public school, which he classed
as his most important plank.
The punishment of crime but op
position to the convict system was
the last plank. The speaker read
bis formula upon thesystem.
The speech was morn than two
hours long, was loudly applauded,
and was listened to with marked at

Fivo men, specially groomed for
the occasion, were put in nomina
tion. It became evident that none
of them could be settled on as a can
didate.; It was proposed to with
draw theth and substitute thirty of
the best men in the State, and choose
from them. At this moment anoth
er virtuous gentleman arose, aud
speaking as ono having authority,
thundered: “We came here to nom
inate Alfred H. Colquitt and will
not leave Atlanta until we do.”
My point is that the advancement
of one man or clique becomes more
important in the Democratic party
than the State of Georgia. It is rile
or ruin. Those men unsuccessful in
conventions become independents.
These conventions have made or
ganized Democracy the synonym of
treachery. The people—the corn-

Genebal Hancock is said to have
been in Washington for a week in “con

and the inference is that the subject
of the conference was a Presidential
nomination in 1884. Mr. Hendricks
predicts, in one breatii, that the Demo
cratic party will be successful in 1884,
and in the next say; that he will never
again be a candidate for any office.

Randall in Augusta Constitution
alist: “Mr. Stephens keeps micros
copically informed of the least data at
Liberty Hall. He knows, from day to
day, how many chickens, docks, pigs,
etc., he has in his yard, and takes as
lively an interest in these home mat
ters as he does in National or State
affairs. He recently lost a mole that
had attained the great age of 37 years,
and he is now mnch concerned abont
another, named “Old Beck,” that has
become moribund.”
Rome Courier: “The term ‘Bour
bon’—defined to be ‘one who never
learns anything and never forgets any
thing’—can properly be applied in oar
politics to those men of both sections
who do not yet realize that the civil
war ia over. It fits the Northern stal

The country issafe with the people
at the head of the government, but
conscientiously and before my God,
I do fear the centering of these peo
ple’s interests-will make slaves of
the free people of this government.
Every ticket cast should represent
the views of the man who casts it.
That is our first plahk. We believe
zj.fair ballot and a fair count is nec
essary to good government, and that
fraud should be rendered impossi
ble. There should be no restriction
on the ballot- 1 ’ Any otter theory
benefitsThe - rich "and" defrauds the"
poor. A poll lax may be collected.
I am even willing, by reason of the
cause of Us object, that the poll tax
be demanded for the year prcced-
ing tho ballot Any man is willing
to pay one dollar to vote, but it dis
franchises thousands when it is de
manded for a number ofyears.
The speaker rung the changes for
the ear of the poor man npon the
subject of po.l tax, dwelling npon
the value of their lives and work,
and claiming that these men are the
first in labor and first in war. By
the poll tax this class is disfranchis
ed—have no voice in the declaration
of war. There is another reason
why the poll tax should be abolish
ed : it binds a large number of the
people to somebody’s barrel, to some
body’s syndicate, or to somebody
who belongs to a railroad syndicate.
Men enter the market and make
purchases of principles.
Georgia is drifting on the path of
Rome. The money meant to edu
cate the people is devoted, first, to
debauching them. The ballot is not
tree when bogns votes are placed in
the bands of ignorant negroes;
when a pathway is kept for one
class and another class is crowded
ont; when at midnight the ballot
box is fonnd under the arm of a
friend of the candidate. Election
day in Georgia means a carnival of
- -fraud.
The ballot box shonid be the
American throne. Cursed be the
ambition, craft and fraud that would
surronnd it with rings or cliques.
The speaker, ascending to his hal
lelujah lick. called cn everybody to
join the Independents. Honest pay
ment of all private, State_ and na
tional debt,. was the third plank.
Repudiation W83 denonneed. The
national debt shonid be paid, and
the people relieved of the payment
of interest. The people, not the
capitalists, are paying the national
debt.

Griffin has lately lost five of its
prospective citizens, and this is how
the News chronicles their departure
for unknown parts: “We have
never advocated the idea that teu-
year-oids should he allowed free
access to a library of dime novels.
The young mind is too often sus
ceptible to lasting impressions from
such trash, and frequently a lad can
become imbued with enough way
wardness to bring sorrow to a score
of hearts. This fact was never more
clearly shown than some three
weeks ago, when two little sons of
Mr. Thad, Clark and Mr. A. W.
Jones took it into their heads to
ship, and, bundling np a few duds,
made off for-parts unknown. Al

to captnre the young truants, they

Nashville, January 27.—The
American's special from Columbia,
says: Rev. It. B. Oliver, the Cum
berland Presbyterian preacher and
member on the firm of Oliver &
Goodloe, of Monut Pleasant, who
mysteriously disappeared from there
December l6th, and was believed
by his wife to be dead, has at last
been heard irom. Hearn he tvriles
from New Mexico to this effect, that
he was knocked down in Nashville
in tne rear of the Cumberland pub-
liisW.tg--house and dragged to tho
river by two men, placed in a skiff,
and taken thus through the waters
of the Cumberland, Ohio and across
the Mississippi, and thence by
covered express wagon into New
Mexico, additions on the ronte being
made to the gang. When abont
fifty miles beyond Santa Fe he was
surrounded by a gang, and bis death
momentarily expected. One of the
gang remarked: “This is not the
man.” He was then given a pistol,
but no cartridges, and the driver of
the wagon was ordered to take him
back to Santa Fe; but they’ failed to
give him back the $120 taken from
him. On the way back a horseman,
acting as a guardjdecided to ride to
Santa Fe in advance. By him Oli
ver sends the letter to his friends
here asking for money to help him
home. The money was forwarded
to him by telegraph yesterday. His
letter creates the impression here
that if there is any truth iu the
statement that the parlies were a
p >rtion of the James gang, and that
their-supposed -victim was W. J.
Overton, Deputy Uuited States Mar
shal, who was pressing the outlaws
so closely. Many discredit the af
fair, the final result of which I will
give yon due and timely notice. In an
interview later with Deputy Mar
shal Overton, he’says: Oliver left
here with between $500 and $750 in
money belonging to other parties.
This is farther substantiated by
relative of Oliver. Overton says the
James gang don’t work for such
small amounts.

Lawrence (Km.) Dispatch Kansas city Times.
Yesterday erening, abont 5 o’clock,
a lady was called to the back door
of her house by a timid knock. She
opened the door and an old man
asked for something to cat. The
lady admitted him to the house, and
gave him a seat at the table with the
entire family. After they were all
seated at the table, the old man,
who, by the way, was about sixty-
five years of age, remarked that he
was confident that he had seen her
before.. She asked where ho thought
he had'seen her before. The old
man was silent for a short time,
then raising his head, he" asked if
she ever lived in Ohio. The lady
said that she had. Then lie asked
her if it was in Cleveland? The
lady said that she was born there.
Then the old gentleman asked her if
she had a scar on her left arm that
was cansed by a burn ? The lady
said she had. Then she asked bis
name. The old man looked np with
tears in his eyes, and said: “Emma,
you don’t know me, do you? 1 ’ Tho
lady arose from her chair and ex
claimed : “Pray tell me your name ”
He arose and started toward her,
“Emma Jane, yonr own brother
Howard.” He next tepk some old
papers from his pocket and produc
ed a photograph ot his sister that
was taken when he left his home in
Ohio ‘or the West. He left Cleve
land In I86fl for New Mexico, Af
ter a stay of fiye years in Mexico he
left for California, where he was
married. His wife died soon after
their mkrriftie, He was then taken
very ill, from which he never felly
recovered, and since then he has
been sick the most of the time.

“Only a Child.”
“Who is to be buried there ?” we
asked the sexton. “Only a child,”
he says. “Only a child,” and yet
how terribly significant, how full
of hopes blasted, of prospects blight
ed, and of a home made desolate by
the taking away of only a child. The
world goes on its busy way, its
wheels of industry continually re
volving, the thronging crowds pass
ing and repassing unconscious of, or
oblivious to the fact that it is “only
a child whom insatiable time is gath
ering in its embrace.” We pity that
poor mother who nightly pillowed
that little innocent head, who slept
the sweeter for that little hand on
her breast, who waited for the first
intelligent gleam of those bright
eyes, who watched its cradle slum
bers, tracing the features of him
who stole her girlish heart away,
who wept soft tears over its uncon
scious head, whose loving smile and
prattling words were sweet recom
pense for sleepless nights and trou
bled days, whose future was bright
ened by the hope of that young arm
to lean npon, who never framed a
plan,or knewa hope or fear of which
that child was not apart, who if dis
ease came, and its eye grew dim,
food and sleep and rest were for
gotten in anxiouB fears, who paced
the floor hour hy hour, when her
very touch seemed to give comfort
and healing to that little quivering
frame, and who when its sun of hope
was setting at last, and hnng over
the dying pillow caught its last faint
gasp and cry for help which she
conld not give, when its lasV- faint
sigh was breathed on her breast, and
yet it was “only a child.”

I have watched the use of the medicine now
known as ‘•Swift’s Syphilitic Specific,” over fifty
years, and have never heard of a failure to cure
when properly taken. I commenced the use of it
on my slaves, between 1850 and 1355, as also did a
number of my neighbors, and in every case that
came within my knowledge it effected a cure. In
1835 Geo Walker bought at auction a dove not isar-
ranted. After the purchase it was discovered that
he had had Syphilis for twelve years. His head
was without a hair on it. He treated him with
this remedy, aad in four weeks he was sound and
well, and In a short time had aa fine a bead of
hair as was ever owned by a negro. He owned
this slave many years, and he never had any
return of the disease, nor lost a day’s work.
