The anti-silver men in the House now have a strong point to urge in ] opposition to that measure. It is Instated by the ablest lawyers in tho ouse that there is a defect in the bill ; which would demonetize over 1100,- *'1,000 of Bilver certificates, now in oulation. If passed in this condi- ,it would give President Harri- i a ohance to use his veto for party ‘poses.

What is the situation? What.is it that.gives it snch gravity in comparison with the campaigns that we have had in tlio district, during the last decadeT For the first time within the politi cal history of the district we have four separatq and distinct political parties, vii: the Democratic, the Republican, tho Alliance and the Third or People’s Party. The Alliance party to whloh refer', once is here made,.Is not the original or genuine Farmers’ Alliance, but the District Alliance .that was organized for political purposes at Thomasvllle on the 21st of Janunry,and which sub sequently brought, out a candidate for Congress on tho 28th of Mnroh nt Cuthbert. If the District Alliance, as organ ized in this Congressional district for political purposes, is not a political party of and unto Itself, then what Is It? Of these four parties, which is the Southern white man’s party? To this there can be but one answer -tlio Democratic party of our fathers. This being true—and who can,dis pute it?—the Democratic party’of the Heoond Congressional distriot has tlireo enemies to contend with. Here tofore It has had but one common ene my, tho Republican party, but this year it is confronted by three. And the most formidable and dan gerous of these enemies is tile District Alliance political machine. It dbubly dangerous because it claims to be Democratic and essnyp to forestall and pre-empt the action of the duly organized and legitimate Demooratio Rarly. What is the District Alliance? We are told by those who belong to the order nnd ought to know, that the Distriot Alliance Is a separate and in dependent organization from the orig inal or legitimate order known ns tho Farmers’ Alliance—that it was organ (zed 111 this distriot for political pur poses only, nnd that there is no such thing as n District Alliance, such ns wo hnve here In the Seoond district, provided for in the constitution .and by-laws of tho Farmers’ Alliance propor. And what tins this Distriot Alllanco done? What Is tlio matter with the District Alllnnae nnd tho Democratic party? Why, tho District Alllnnoo called a meeting of delegates .from nil the counties of the district, In midwinter, without consulting or waiting for tlie usual action of the Democratic party orgnnizntlon, which lias stood and been recognized by all loyal Demo crats from time immemorial, and nom inated n candidate for Congress ; nnd, in onrrylng out the purposes of that nomination, their policy is to forestall the notion of tho Democratic party and foroe their candidate upon the people nnd the Democratic party of the district. And what of this Distriot Alliance candidate? AVho Is ho and what is lie? . What of his auspioeB, or what is there about the man himself to entitle him to pre-emption over tho choice of tlie Democratic party of the distriot as duly constituted? O. B. Stevens is Ills name, and his home is in Dawson, Terrell county. Our purpose is not to abuse him or to Indulge in any petty reflections upon his character ns a man, Tho IIkhald will not resort to personal abuse, vituperation and slander to carry its point in politics, even in be- half of the grand old Democratic party; but we do say that Mr. Stevens was not, in our humble opinion, de signed by nature for a Congressman. As the successor to such men as Win. K. Smith and Henry G. Turner he would dwindle into utter insignift entire ns the representative of this dis triot In Congress. And by this we mean no reflection whatever upon the man’s integrity or character. If it were a horse trader, a supply mer chant or n county commissioner that we were called upon to elect wo would have no objection to urge against can didate Stevens; but we do insist that he does' not appear to have been born or specially designed for Congres sional honors. He doesn’t even dare appear upon the hustings of the dis trict as the exponent of the party and principles he olaims to represent, much less meet his competitors in Joint de bate. What sort of showing would suoh a man have in Congress? What sort of defense could he make of our section and people when they are as sailed and traduced by our political enemies? , We intend nb reflections upon Mr. Stevens as a man, but we do say that this distriot deserves, and the people owe it to themselves and the State, to elect an abler and better equipped man to represent them in Congress. Of such there are a hundred avail able men in the district. And we believe that the people of t’ le district will yet riwVb - tbi esty and unite upon one of them as their representative -in the next Con gress. Democrats of the Second distriot, let us stand to our colors! The 'Alllance political machine that has sought ,to forestall the action of the recognized, time-honored Democratic party, is nof all-powerful in' the district, an<) we can whip the fight that has been forced upon ps. The fight that we must make Is not upon the. Alliance and, Alliance- men proper* but upon the Distriot Al liance political machine. There are thousands of good Alliancemen who are loyal Democrats and will stand with the tfue Democracy when the issue Is brought to the final test. To all such add to the loyal, Simon-pnVe Dempcra.ts of the district generally We appeal. Mr. Stevens may be a good Allianccman nnd a good secret (ma chine politician, blit he is not the man to be chosen by the Democrats of the Second district to represent them in Congress. Hon. Ben E, Russell is now the only avowed straight Democratic candidate as ugalnst Mr. Stevens, the Allianoe machine candidate, nnd as between the two men we call upon all true Democrats and patriotic citizens to rally to the support of the brilliant and noble Russell.
