In Buch eim-rg* u i*-s 1 always look to tne

my fai’h dues not waver. Yet we have
soni.» divisiuna, while lhe enemy is an al
lied army ronsirting of th< great body of
ttiv republican party and a faction of the
democratic party. Th* appeal of the ftien is
of constitutional money, us silver and gold
coins, is to the conscience of <h- people,
and to the history of our country. The ex
perience of eighty years is a better rel.aiice
for safety than the propliecn-s or forebod
ings of men to whom the wish is "father
to the thought."
The body of the great democracy is a
better Judgo of the true tenets of the ••reel
of that party than the small band who are
occasionally entrusted with power in the na
tional councils from th< rtat<s of the north-
The democratic party is a safer guardian
of the rights of silver money than any oth
er party, whether republican, populist or
mugwump. I therefore am willing to en
trust this great question to their keeping,
and I shall remain at my post under that
flag, as I have done for twenty years, in
the senate and will do all that is in my
power for this, the cause of the people.
BADLY UOBBIEP.
Cordele's Goldbitgt Are Alarmed Becaute
l.ivi oumToii !* to spt-nk.
Cordele, Ga.. July 20.—(Special.)—The gold
bugs of Cordele are mad. They are sur
prised and aggrieved that the Imoly county
silver league is to have as its guest Hon.
Leonidas F. Livingston on July 27th.
The goldbug* invited Mr. Smith to ad
dress the p'-oplr of Cordele on July ‘47th in
favor of the single gold standard. This ac
tion was taken by only a small number of
the people of this s* ction. In the meantime
the I ‘only county silver league invited lion.
Leonidas F. Livingston to make an addreas
here i*n the same day in favor of the free
an 1 ur.liruite I coinsge of silver. Mr. Liv
ingston has accepted th* invitation and wilt
be her* . Mr J. F. Hill, president of the sil
ver H ague, was amused this morning wh»n
he r<ad a set of resolutions hau led him by
the secre’ary of the "sound money" league.
He was informed that the resolutions were
adopted at a me- ’ing of the league last
night. The resolutions express the disgust
of the goldhugs that the advocates of free
rolling • should n so ru h- and discourteous
as to invite Mr. Livingston to speak on the
same day that Mr Smith is to be here. The
silver men are, of <’ourse, only amused at
the action of the few gohibugs who have
be*-n so ostentatious here. There are only
a handful of them, yet they have lost no
time and spared no opportunity to make
the impression that there is really a large
number of them here. Mr. Smith Is con
sidered the goldbug candidate for lhe Unit
ed States senate, ami it is taken that his
sp-r- h hen- in Mr. Crisp’s district will be
the real opening gun in the campaign, as it
is thoroughly understood that M’. Crisp is
the I »gi<*al candidate for the senate as an
advocate of free silver and a patriot. Ixirge
crowds are expected from all points in
south Georgia. Ex -urslons will be run on
all road- and will < ome in from five direc
tions. The Georgia Southern and Florida
railroad will run a special train from La-
Grange and quite a number of people will
come fr< rn Atlanta and other points in
north G •gin. It is to he a big day.
The goldbugs are afraid that their meet
ing will lea tame affair beside the monster
bimetallic rally. It w mid not be surpris
ing if they bang.- the <lat -of Mr. Sn i'h s
spec h to avoid a comparison of crowds.

vote of 12 tfc 2 the demo- rati* st ttc central I
committee in session today at the Southern (
hotel, decided to call a state silver conven
tion. The convention will be held at J ertle
Springs.
This action was promptly taken The
only difference of opinion was in reference
to when the convention should !•*- held.
Many committeemen urged that the date
be set for early in August.
The enemies of silver fought for delay.
They wanted to put the convention off until
October. After hours of *i». < us.-ion a vol
was taken at 3:15 o’clock p. m. which made
the date Tuesday, August 6th.
It was 11 o’clock before the corrid »r con
ferences and hobnobbing were over an-1 the
meeting of the democratic state -ntral
committee was called to order »n r- -m ••**.
at the Southern to discuss the quest on of
a state monetary convention
Chairman Moffitt opened the meeting by |
entering into an explanation of why h« j
had reconvened the committee. After Mr. |
Moffitt’s explanation Colunel Carroll moved
that the sense of the committe on hold ng a
convention on the money question b • tak»-n.
Without discussion a vote was taken
on the question of holding a stat** conven
tion anl resulted as follows:
In favor of holding the convention: J
H. Carroll, N. M. Baskett. J. <* Davis. ,
H. W. Salmon, J. W. Zevcly. S. B. •k.

Opposed to the convention: J. B. Thom- ■

Chairman Moffitt strenuously epposo! •
convention at this time, but one **f the
committeemen insisted on a vote. a:. I •’
was carried by twelve to two in favor of a
convention. .
Moffitt refused to vote Corrigan’s proxy. I
stating that Corrljan had simply aired .
his proxy without Instructions. The qu- s
tlon of holding a convention being settle i.
the plan was then taken up. Pertie Springs
was chosen, Sedalia getting only a vote I
and a half. This was another victory for I
the silver men. tne springs being a suburban
