From Wednesday'* Kvi:nin« IlkKAi.n.
The Young Men’s Democratic Club
held a meeting last night in the Court
House to make arrangements for the
grand Democratlo rally on the 16th.
In tlie absence of the President and
Vice President, Mayor Gilbert tuoktlie
chair.
Everything In connection with the
rally and the convention was fully
disoussed, and plans were formulnted
for carrying them througli success
fully.
It was decided to have tlie flyer of
the big Chautauqua tent stretched and
the seats put up, and tlie contract for
tlie work was let tills morning nt
$26.00. Tills will afford ample accom
modations for the immense crowd of
live to six thousnnd visitors who will
be present on tlie occasions of the rally
and convention.
The committee In charge of arrange
ments was appointed and consists of
Messrs. W. II. Gilbert, H. M. McIntosh
and T. F. Pruett. A committee of suoh
enterprising gentlemen could not fail
to arrange everything to the satisfac
tion of all concerned
The cominitteeun flunnee, which was
appointed this morning, oonsists of
Messrs, E. R.JAues, L. Sterne and J.
C. Cassidy.
It will be necessary to raise $200 to
$800 to defray all expenses of put
ting up tlie tent, speakers’ expenses,
circulars, etc., and these gentlemen
have the matter in charge.
Then, too, there will be a brass band
here on tile ltttli and 17th, with some
rousing old campaign airs, and to
gether with the speakers they will
make the air ring with the war cries
of Democracy.
Some 20,000 or more circulars adver
tising the Democratlo rally, and con
taining tile railroad rates to the con
vention will be printed and distrih
uted down the different railroads which
leave Albany. Then the matter will
be taken in hand and well advertised,
su there will be no doubt about our
having a large crowd present. The
railroad rates have been made so low,
and everybody In the district is so
deeply Interested in the Congressional
race, tlmt it seems as if the Induce
ments would bring every Democrat
in the distriot to Albany on the days
mentioned.
Tlie speakers have already been
enumerated in these columns, und if
nothing else could do so, It seems as if
tlmt quartette, Hammond, Russell,
Livingston and Turner, ought to
bring out everybody in the district.
Wednesday’s convention will tell
the story, anil then on Wednesday
night we will—well, wait anil see.
An Earlr MoruInK Hlau.
At2:45o’clock Thursday morningthe
alarm of lire was sounded from the
western portion of tlie city, and the
bright, lurid glare that lit up the skies
showed too plainly that tlie demon of
destruction was again at work, for the
third time tills week.
Tlie residence of Mr. W. L. Wallace,
on Flint street, was the Beene of tlie

did some good work. Defiance threw
first water, and it wasn’t long before
tlie flames were under control.
The building wns the property of
Mrs. M. A. Rye and her daughter Mrs.
Epsie Ivey, and was insured in the
Southern Mutual insurance Co., for
$860.
Mr. Wallace had $600 on his furnl
ture, most of which was either de
stroyed or damaged.
It is not known how the fire origi
nated, but Mr. Wallace thinks It was
incendiary;
Thohahvillk will send a big dele.
In answer to Mayor Gilbert’s re
quest the B. & W. granted a one-fare
rate round trip from Tifton to Albany
and intervening station!, as was re
ported in Wednesday’s Herald.
’ But a further request was made that
the limit be extended to Alapaha.
This the B. & W. readily granted, ex
tending the limit further, to Wllla-
coochee. The rate from this point and
intervening stations will be one fare
for round trip, good from the 10th to
the 19th Inclusive. ,
Mayor Gilbert received a letter to
day from General Passenger Agent J.
C. Haile of the Central road, offering
rates.of one fare for round trip from
points between Hprlngvale, Ga, and
Columbia, Ala., and Albany. These
rates will also be good from the 10th
to the 19tli inolusive, thus enabling all
who so desire to Attend the Democratic
rally on the 10th.
Mnyor Gilbert also received a letter
from Mayor Jones of Blakely, asking
if the people of that seotion could not
linve a more convenient suhedule ar
ranged for them. As it Is now they
arrive in Albany at 11 2)6 a. in., and
leave at 8 p. m., giving them only
three hours and a half here. They
would.be better situated If they could
arrive here at 10 a. m. and leave at 6
or 8 p. m. The Mayor referred this
requst to Mr. Jno. H. Clark, agent for
the Central road here, and ills decision
Is now awaited.
Tlie rail roads have been very prompt
and generous In regard to the requests
of Mayor Gilbert for low rates. All of
tliem so far have granted the requests
made, and in some instances have
given more than was asked.
Tlie low rates and other inducements
are calculated to bring uplarge crowds
to the rally and convention on the 16th
and 17th.

The Atlanta Constitution of Thurs
day tells the following “good one" on
Col. Reuben Jones:
“Hon. Reuben Jones, of Baker, Is the
Democratic nominee for tlie State Sen.
ate from the Ninth distriot. He came
up as a delegate to tlie convention,
and on the train on which he came to
Atlanta was quite a crowd of Demo,
cratte delegates. Col. Peek, the Third
Party candidate, came Into the car
and put his valise near Senator Jones’.
The two valises were very much alike,
The running conversation was too
strongly Democratic to suit Col,
Peek, so after sitting a few
moments he concluded he would
hunt for more congenial coin
pany in another car, so he piokeil
up, as lie thought, Ills valise and left.
Senator Jones was talking square
Democratic talk and was rounding up
one of bis best periods. ‘Now,’ he
said, ‘I want to show you good Demo,
oratic doctrine. Please hand me my
valise there. I carry my proofs with
me, good Democratlo papers,’ and with
that be opened the valise with a flour
ish.
Imagine his utter amazement when
lie round 1t Ailed with Third Party
literature—the Third Party documents,
St. Louis and Omaha platforms, Tom
Watson and C. C. Post filled the bag.
“The boys began to smile. Unole Reu
ben was bothered. He pulled off his
hat, ran his fingers through his hair
and looked bewildered. ‘Gentlemen,’
said he, ‘J think this is Reuben Jones.
If it is he has lost a valise; if is not
then he has found one. When I left
home I was the Democratlo nominee
for Senator from the Ninth district.
This lnfernni bag would indiente that
I was the Third Party candidate for
Governor.’
“The mistake was soon discovered
and rectified and Col. Jones is again
happy.”

In the month of March, 1816, the
Paris Moniteur announced the un
expected return of Emperor Napoleon
from Elba. The first announcement
of the Moniteur was far from polite,
but as the little Corsican approached
Paris, a gradual change took place in
its tone:
“The Cnnibal lias>ft his den.”
“Tlie Corsican wolf has landed in
the bay of San Juan."
“The tiger lias arrived at Gay.”
“The wretch spent the night at
Grenoble.”
“The tyrant has arrived at Lyons.”
“The usurper has been seen within
fifty miles of Paris.”
“Bonaparte Is advancing with great
rapidity, but he will not put his foot
inside the walls of Paris.”
“To-morrow Napoleon will be at our
gates.”
“The Emperor haB arrived at Fon-
taingates.” -
“His Imperial Majesty, Napoleon, en
tered Paris yesterday, surrounded by
his loyal subjects.”
