If so, Head the Following: Yesterday dawned cloudy snif anltry ou the quiet little city ol Pelham, but, therc was an unusual stir abobt tbs' place and from an early hour began to pour into the place, aH hist upon enjoying the day to its TsIlBfj extent to hear the speaking. Mr. J. L. Hand introduced Hno. Ben E, Russell to the audience, mid for an hour this gentleman expounded the true principles of Democracy. Hit eulogy upon woman was superb and it weut from grandeur to sublime With, graceful eloquence. Mr. Russell** «x-\ position ot Democracy was full n clear and made a deep impressioo-qpaC his hearers. lie was followed by Dr. I. H. Rand for the Third party. His speech the same old harrangue, lull of sophistry and appeals to prejudice rather than to reason, and carried upon its face the stamp of Demogoguery. The Third party forces were well drilled and met his weak argument! with loud yells of delight. A recess was then taken for dinner and that elegant and sumptuous was served in the midst of a drenching rain whicli robbed the occasion rdf much of its pleasure. Alter dinner Hon. W. N. Spence made a short address in which be com pletely riddled Dr. Hand’s silver and national bank arguments and showed them to be mere bumcombe. Just as he was concluding Hon. W M. Hammond, arrived from Blakely after a hard drive and as he ascended the stand lie was greeted with tremen-j |T dous applause. At the conclusion of Mr. SpSMtft speech lion. W.M. Hammond wea’in-i croduced and for an hour and a half hej held tiie audience charmed with one Of the most powerful of Democratic speeches. Beneath the shelter of an umbrella he stood in a steady down- pour, after a drive ot 46 miles, and de livered a most powerful and grand speech. Under the giaut trees among whose limbs the rain beat a ce Melee a tattoo be stood making one of tbemoet ublime, eloquent and kindly appeals for Democracy. His speech waa master-piece, a work of art, a piece Of word painting aa rare as the works 6f ancient masters whose gifted brnshea have made themselves immortal. Mr. J. A Pope, an apostle of the Third party followed and then it wea that a most unusual scene occurred Upon a platform stood this grizzled old man, looking an audience of Southern white men in the face and eulogized the Force Bill. Shades of Democracy! A Southern white mr.n telling Southern white men that the Force bill was right. That he would rather trust an election in the hands of the Federal managers behind whose back! stood an army of glistening Federal bayonets than in the hands of the Democrats. The veil is drawn here. He was followed by the Rev. Judge Cambell for the same party and Hon L.. Hand for the Democrats. ’Mr. Hand’s speech was a business talk and should have had great weight upon tne audiedee.. - MEN’S UHDIRWZAR.

Hester returned yeater- day morning from Union Springs, Ala., where on Wednesday he deliver ed an oration to the Bullock County Confederate Veterans’ Association. Capt. Hester was charmed with-his- reception and entertainment white in Union Springs and it is needless tossy that this silver-tongued orator com pensated Ills hosts with charming-elo quence and soul-stirring sentiments of rhetorical finish. He found the old veterans in the humor to appreciate one of his characteristic efforts and in speaking to a friend yesterday-said “Those people over there cherish a strong affection for the cause for whleh they fought. Every allusion to Jeffer son Davis and to their own gaBaat Pelham was the signal for prolonged and vociferous cheeriDg.” I lupr^TementJ. The one acre lot between the resi dences of Capt. J. T.
