Hole's tSlmiiy PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, t'di J. N.HALE, Editor and Pub. 1 ------■----------------- Stone Mountain, Apr. 23, '92 Liviiigstoix at JLithonia. Friday night, last, a large number of the citizens of De Kalb .and adjoining counties, assembled in Hollingsworth s Hall to hear addresses from our able congressman, the Hon. L. F. Livingston, and Mr. LaFay ette Chupp. It was agreed that Col. Livingston, should open with a speech of an hour and a half— Col. Livingston to close with 30 minutes. Mayor Mil ner was made Chairman of the meetiDg and introduced Col. Livingston in a becoming man¬ ner. The Col. was greeted with applause. He opened his speech calmly and talked to the people earnestly and honesxly, carry¬ ing conviction with every sen tence. It was one of the grand¬ est defenses of our glorious old party ; our beautiful Southern land ; our honest brave country¬ men ]and the noble order of which all true alliancemen are so proud that ever fell from the lips of any man. He used no Sophistry ; none of the arts of the demagog, hut spoke the truth fully and fearlessly. He treated his opponent in the kind¬ est and most gentlemanly man¬ ner ; refering to him in the most cordial and ( polite way. Wlieu his time had expired he sat down amid applause. The chairman then introduc¬ ed Mr. Chupp, Little Aleck ” &s he is now familarily called. Mr. Chupp was greeted with a perfect storm of applause which was k put ,ujp' ,u • *..... IN,, s \-»■» 4-i ^discourse with such unanimity and sameness as to suggest pre # arrangement. Mr. Chupp con¬ sumed considerable time in the opening of liis speech in reading resolutions from wrong book. We regretted his mistake and sympathized with Jiiin in his discomfiture, hut he soon pulled himself together and for nearly 2 hours—talked. A great many in the audience soon caught on to Mr. Ohupp’s ideas and line of thought and they fully ap¬ preciated him as could he seen from such expression from the audience as, “ go it Chupp, ” u now you’re talking, ” “ come on my Chuppy,” “ Ride old Bald to water, &c., &c.” He didn’t give any reason why there should be a third party ; didn’t make any direct charges against Democracy—liis war was on Livingston and he scored a good point when lie ^told of having been invited g on a special car With Livingston and others ov¬ erheard a private conversation and then told it. What it “was We couldn’t exactly catch, hut Borne of the audiencejseemed to and yelled, When his time was up he told the chairman he Wasn’t through and wouldn’t Bit down. When lie did dose be never went to his seat, but got his hat and over-coat, went back near the edgs of the stage and was carried out of the liall followed by about £ of the au dience. Mr, Chupp did not know his friends were going to carry him out; they had not informed him of the fact, although his getting liis hat and coat led some to infer that he had. Mr. Chupp always gets his hat aud coat that way. If the real Lit tip Tie Aleck AWL could have i been , there it would have made l,is honest £r&ve o d heai t leap with Jpride to see liis young'namesake ing born off on the shoulders of his admiring friends, even if his antagonist was standing on the platform calling them cowards j and defying them to come hack. lt is said that M r. eiiupp did want to come back hut his friends wouln’t let him and of course Mr. Cliupp would’t dis¬ obey his friends. When quiet was restored, Col. Livingston made a short talx ; a talk that will be remembered by all as the most masterly defense of his honor and reputation of all charges they ever heard. He handled Mr. Chupp with tongs of fire denouncing him as a coward; an ingrate; an eaves¬ dropper, and retailer of second hand lies arid a scandal from such dirty scoundrels as Jack Turner, Post and others. It was hold; it veas strong; it was terrible. At the close, the peo¬ ple fairly covered him—shaking his hands and proclaiming their allegiance to their fearless lead¬ er and proud old Democracy. Many commended Mr. Chupp for his speech and says he will live to fight again. True De¬ mocracy gained many friends by the Lithonia speakiug. OB ITU A MY. Sister M. F. Butler, wife of Bro. B P. Butler, died at their residence on April 4th, 1892, aged about, 50 years. She was a consistant member of the Rockdale Baptist church. Sht and her husband uniting with tin church about 20 years age; both were baptized on the same day by Rev. O. C. White, She was a devoted christain; she loved her church and pastor; she was an humble christain, and loved by all that knew her. She leaves a husband anil daughter, and many lelativcs to mourn for her. She was perfectly resigned to God’s will, during her long i 1 aess she was not heard to murmer or complain 1 1 her condition. May tiie husband and rel¬ atives prepare to meet h<>r in the bright world where they will be united forever; where tin re ie uo death, no sorrow and no more parting; there to enjoy the j eaccfu] rest provided for all those that love and put tbeir trust in our blessed Savior. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. F. Buchanan, at the residence of the deceased, to a largo audience of relatives and friends She was then laid to rest in the Mc Clung graveyard, near Rockdale church. May the choicest blessings of our heavenly father rest upon all the be reaved family aud relatives. D. M. Almand. WHAT PRESUMPTION !

The trouble is that they can find no one to fight Harrison with. After the withdrawal of Cullom some of them thought that Alger might fill the bill, and he was sent for to talk the matter over. He has been here several days, but he hasn’t made much progress; on the contrary he has got to the end of his rope, as he has been told that after mature consider¬ ation it had been decided that the little episode concerning his war record had made him an impossibility, and that the best tiling he could do would be to withdraw. This has almost broken Alger’s heart, but he has promised to withdraw. Ex Czar Reed could have the sup¬ port of the anti-Harrison men, if it were not for Mr. Blaine’s opposition to him; it has been tendered to McKinley hut he would not except it. Secret conferences are being nightly held, but the indications are not favorable to the anti’s, at least not from the outside. “Teddy” Roosevelt made a ten strike when that resolution authorizing an investigation of the violations of the civil law (charged by him in a report made last year to Mr. Harrison) by Federal officials in Baltimore was introduced in the house. He has long been tiying to find out why Mr. Harrison pigeon¬ holed that report. The House Committee on Rules will let Mr Harrison say why no action was ever taken on that report, and then, if the answer is not satisfactory, the lesolution for an investigation will be reported to tiie House, and adopted. Hon. Hugh S. Thompson, the democratic Civil Service Com¬ missioner, has tendered his re¬ signation to Mr. Harrison, to take effect May 15. Every attempt made by the House to give the Government more power over the national banKs, thus adding to their safety as depositories of the people’s money, has up to this time been thwarted by the Sen¬ ate. The bill which was pass¬ ed by the House a short time ago, prohibiting the borrowing of money by otiicers of nation¬ al banks, except by authority of a majority of the bank s di¬ rectors, which every person familiar with the inside histor¬ ies of the big national hank failures will acknowledge is a good idea, was promptly sad¬ dled with an amendment in the Senate, which it was known that the House would not ex¬ cept, authorizing the banks to increase theR circulation to the full amount of bonds they have deposited in the U. S. Treasury Which body legislates for the people, and which for the cor¬ pora Hons ? The House and Sen¬ ate fairly represent the parties which respectively control them. Senator Daniel, of Virginia, has introduced an amendment to the Naval appropriation hill, appropriating $300,000 for the expenses of the proposed inter¬ national naval review, to be held in New York harbor and in Hampton Roads in April, 1S93, in honor of the opening of the Columbian Exposition at Chicago. The President is di¬ rected, as soon as the appropri¬ ation becomes a law, to invite foreign the nations to participate in j review. } ________ .. Somebody is doing some very reckless swearing in the Pen¬ sion Office investigation. As¬ sistant Secretary Bussey flatly contradicted a statement made by Green B, Ruarn, Jr, and called upon the committee to judge which of them had lied. Secretary Foster undertook the very difficult task of bols¬ tering up an illegal act—the spending of money received as head tax on immigrants ror al¬ leged improvements on Ellis Island—with an opinion from the Attorney General, clearly made to order, and as might have been expected, he made a failure on the job. The alleged opinion is but a lawyer’s plea; it justified the authorizing of the expenditure by Assistant Secretary Nettleton on the ground that the late Secretary Windom had contemplated if he had not actualy done, the same thing; and Congress is asked to this as a vindi¬ cation of Nettleton, but it will not do so. If Nettleton has not resigned before the Joint Immi¬ gration Committees conclude their investigation of this mat¬ ter, it is believed that they will recommend his removal, and also that of Superintendent Owen. Mr. Harrison may find him¬ self in a very awkward predic¬ ament, on account of his very remarkable assumption of pow¬ er in paying an indemnity of $21,000 to Italy out of the State department contingent fund, without consulting Congress at all. This abuse of authority is absolutely without precedent and Congressmen of both p tr ties are at present inclined to ask awkward questions about it when the Consular and Dip¬ lomatic Appropriation bill gets beik/ic th; BiMiSfi. The House committee on Rules has been trying to get up some satisfactory method of putting a stop to the printing m the Record of matter entire¬ ly foreign to the proceedings of the House, such as the entire contents of books and pam¬ phlets, which have been print¬ ed therein during the last week; but the matter is a very deli¬ cate one, involving privileges of which every member is jealous, and nothing has been agreed upon. The common sense of the members will probably come to the rescue, and stop the abuse of a privilege which in itself is highly desirable. Consumption Cured.
