4 LIST NIGHT! Grandest Ovation oi the En tire Campaign ■ II TENDERED MR. WATSON. Hines the Undoubted Choice of Fnlton County. ♦THE HAND PRIMARY TEST, Hhowed Where Atkinson is At. The House Not Largo Enough. Such an oration as that which Str. jWutsoh received in Atlanta last night. Las nev«r bean Accorded any man in the city bf Atlanta. • There was no demonstration what ever to drkw a cfrtH But long before 8 o'clock, every seat in DeGive’s opera house was filled. When the curtains rose, hundreds had ■been turned away. There was not even standing robin. There was a continual stream of peo ple tp the opera hQUse until V o’clock, bubthis could not get near enough to bear the words Os the speaker. Hardly a man left the house until Mr. Watson had closed, and even then, after a speech of mbre than two hours, the vast audience sat still for several rfilhutei giving vent to loud and vo ciferods calls for Judge Hines and Hon. John Temple Graves. !t would seem that after a speech of such length, human endurance would have reached it-, limit; but not so; the audience sat still until Colonel Hate man was even forced to request those assembled to retire and vote for Hines on Wednesday. That Judge James K. Hines, the populist nominee for governor, is the choice of Fulton county there can be no doubt. Statements to the contrary were disproven by the immense and en- audience which packed De- Giv. s Marietta Street opera house last n ght frdm pit to dome to hear Hon. Thomas E. Watson. It was a strange contrast io the handful who, two nights previous, gathered in the same . place expecting to hear three of the greatest democratic speakers of Geor gia j'wo of the advertised speakers were idolized heroes of tlje confederacy, apd the third was a man who has been pro claimed by the New York Herald and World as the greatest campaign orut.br in the South. This stellar aggregation drew less than 300 people, while last night 2,590 voters of Fulton county gathered to hear the brainy young pop ulist leader from McDuffie. In thh boxes and oh the stage were a number of ladies, including u party of judge Hines’ family, and many others. From the opening sentence to the closing peroration Mr. Watson had his audience completely undey his control. A strong contrast between his speech and the addresses of the democratic, campaigners, was the absence of any abusive generalities. The democratic party was criticized fCMMMProra rind llroknn pledges, but in every instance facts were adduced to suftein the assertions made. Just before closing his speech Mr. Watson held a “hand” primary, re questing each one who voted for Colo nel Peek, in 1892, to raise his hand. A goodly sprinkle of hands was seen. “Now," said Mr, Watson,” everyone who will vote for Judge Hines next Wednesday, hold up your hand.” With ti great shout, every hand seemed to fly into the air. Some democrat in the audience called out, “Put the oilier side!’’ and it was put. If more than six hands in that vast audience went up, no man saw them. Ta introducing the speaker of the eve ning Mr. J. N Hatemun paid a high tr.buto to Judge Hiues and declared that to elect him for governor ■would demonstrate to the world the people of Georgia had declared agaiutl ring rule and went on record as being first and last in favor of a fair and an lujitcst. elect ion. In conclusion Mr. Batsman intro dueed the speaker us “the man who is Gorgias hero, her patriot, her states man. her greatest living son, Hon. Tims. 11. Watson.” t o.onel Bateman's introductory nd dress was one of the finest ever heard by nn Atlanta audience. It was elo quent mid timely. For fully five minutes Mr. Watson received the welcoming applause of his audience, and it was only when he raised his hand and protested against further demonstration that the ap pluu e subsided. Mr. Watsnu Speaks. Mr. Watson stated that he was glad to meet sich a large audience in the capitol ut the at ale, and after speaking to such an assembly he could return with renewed energy to his little job in t-h<? tenth diet rick He thought It should not be a diffi cult matter for him to speak in At lanta in behalf of on? of her honored citizens; thkt it would b.« no strange thing for Atlanta to stand by her own man. He then referred to Mr. Crisp's speech delivered some time since from the same stand, wherein the speaker dis iu>-rti what he called “populist vaga ries. ” Mr. Watson said that for vagaries, idiosyncracies. lunacies and frea-s, the dear old democratic party took the cake, as usual. He then discussed individual bills in troduced by Mr. Livingston. Senator Palmer aud’others which as vagaries and lunacies could not be excelled by the mt st idiotic. The populists were charged with in troducing bills which would amount to about r35,0t»;<,0tW,000, while the bills in trslueed by the democrats would make an aggregate of more than JIW,- o<. ; '■ One thing was true, th? populists had always voted for every plank iu their platform, which could not lie said of the democrats. Mr. Watson then went into a discus sion of the rn>,«:<st State I'lltopu. Baying that every consideration of party should be tfirown aside and noth ing cousidered except t hat which was right. i’e then discussed the populist stale plat orm plank by plank in such a con vincing manner that conviction was carried to the hearts of many. JJ'he platform denounced mob law of every character, and Mr. Clay’s circular de- Sing the fact was riddled. The demo lt ic party had better shut up shop and quit biisiacas when it getsto’he point where it must quote the speech a renub’icau Negro in a republican -onv/,* I 0 ® w P rove tbe truthfolness of * TjETa system was the next {denounced the practice be iau t4*e poor man pay for the, / rich man's side aa well as his ow n. I Mere Clay and "all the other side are ' riding on free pusa-s while' Judge i Hines snd our side are pay>ng like gen tlemen as we go The platform denounces the fee sys- ! tem. Ail officers should be paid salar ies for the Reason that the fee system ' tends to stir up litigation on the part i of the officers so paid. Every officer in the state should be elected by the peo ple. The populist platform is against the convict lease system because the state has no right to farm out her preroga ’ive of punishing her own criminals for a money consideration. Mr. Watson illustrated the evils of the Ay stem by an incident which had fallen under his own personal knowl edge. Hill hturgisa, a splendid speci men of physical manho ,a, was sent to the chamgang from McDuffie county on a conviction of perjury. This Negro was worked under the burning rays of the summer sun until he fainted from exhaustion; he was then whipped un mercifully, an 1 when the whipping boss saw that he could not work any longer, the Negro was chained to a tree where, in a few minutes death re leased him from his misery. Mr. Wat son’s portrayal of this outrage reached the heart of every person present Mr. Watson's portrayal of the out rage was pathetic and tragic, and the most profound silence prevailed in the vast audience when Mr. Watson con cluded with these words, “the Negro died like a dog chained to a tree.” Someone in the audience yelled out: “Now. talk to the while folks some!” Like a flash camo Mr. Watson's an swer: “A man who has no sympathy for a culprit whipped to. death is not near so white on the inside as he may appear on the outside;” and the audi ence went wild with enthusiasm at Mr. Watson's burning words of eloquence. Mr. Watson then touched upon the plank demandiug that school teachers be paid monthly and that free primary school books be furnished to children iu the public schools. Mr. Watson showed conclusively to every person present that it would not only be no injustice but under Jeffer son's own statement that the govern ment should be based upon a system of education was an absolute necessity to the safety of the government; and that the cost would lie very slight • His ap peal for Georgia boys and girls elicited continual applause. The attention of the speaker was then turned to the demand of the plat form “for u free ballot and a fair count. It was no secret that outrages hud been perpetrated; democrats do not deny it Thousands of people are leaving the democratic party on ac count of the frauds that have been perpetrated. Mr. Watson then re counted various outrageous frauds of IKO2 which are admitted by democrats. The platform proposes the Australian ballot law us an effectual remedy. “Mr. Atkinson has said thathe would prefer, to see the state blighted by.ycl low fever and cholera rather than see the populist principles triumphant. “A man who, in his greed for office, is willing to walk over the graves of his fellow-men, !s not worthy to be governor of this great commonwealth.” (Wild applause.) Mr. Watson then discussed iho con dition of the country, showing that the, financial stringency has arisen more from the contraction of the currency by democrats and republicans than from the tariff. During the present democratic administration that, party has done more in that respect than the Republican party. He then spoke of the new tariff bill, showing conclusively that it was very little bolter than the McKinley bill. The populists had voted for it because It was not quite ns bad and because of the Income tax feature. HE 18 WHITEWASHED. The Committee Nays Boifeuillet Is Not. Guilty. Macon, Ga., Oct. 2.—-(Special.)—The committee that has been investigating the charges made against John T. Hoi fcullit by W. A. Huff of tampering with the public records in making certain chutiges in Macon's new charter bill at the lost session of the legislature, made its report tonight exonerating Mr. Boi feuillet of the charges made. The committee went to Atlanta and examined the records nt the capital anti fully investigated the interlinea tions and erasures charged to Mr. Hoifeuillet. The report of the committee was to the effect that the reason for the appa rent tamperings of the records was due to tie fact that the clerks begun engrossing the. bill before the assembly had finished amending it. Many people in Macon believe that Mr. Bnifeuillct changed the records as charged. A NEW THEATRE Edgewood Avenue to be Rebuilt mill Renewed. A deal was consummated last night whereby the Edgewood Avenue theatre property passes into the hands of Henry Greenwall, president of the American Theatrial Exchange and of a number of theatres throughout the south. Mr. Greeuwall's purchase of a theatre in Atlanta brings with it to the citv the great fight now in progress I etween him and Jefferson, Klaw and Erlanger. The rivalry between these two book ing firms are intense, and will result in the best attractions being played here next week. The remodeling of the house will be in the hands of Frank Cox, the scenic artist of New Orleans. He will adopt the Spanish renaissance style of archi tecture, and the house, when comple ted, will be one of the prettiest in the South. _ MRS. LILLY’S MURDERER.

TTTE DAILY PRESS, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2, 1894. ATKINSON’S COUNTY. COWETA WILL GIVE HIXES A FINE VOTE. THE DEMOCRATIC TRICKS In Coweta County Exposed.—A Wise Old Negro Speaks His Mind. Newxas, Ga, Oct. 2.—(Special.)— The democrats of Newnan, Ga., Coweta county, the home of Mr. Atkinson, are making desperate efforts to carry Mr. Atkinson's own county for him. There is strong opposition against the democratic ticket among the while voters of this county. It must be re membered that General Evans received 400 votes in the primary election, when the friends of General Evans made ab solutely no contest! Again, the populists are much strong er in this county than they were two yea. s ago. And as to the colored vote, it is almost a unit against the democratic ticket. ’The local democratic leaders are much alarmed at the etrong opposition against their ticket in the home county of their candidate for governor, or es pecially among the colored voters They planned a big democratic rally last .Saturday, with the chief design of capturing the colored vote, and they flooded the county (frith large circulars announcing that Gov. Northen and ot her great lights would be on hand. The colored people were all invited to come out, as special seats would be provided for them. The meeting turned out to be a big democratic fizzle. The Hon. H. W. J. Ham, only, was on hand. The local democratic leaders hoped that he would, by telling funny jokes and stories, laugh the Negro into the democratic party, but this object of the meeting was an absolute failure. They did not change a vote, but dis gusted many, and made votes for Judge Hines. An old colored man said to me after the meeting: "Look here, white man, we colored folks like meat like the very devil; but this here Ham these democrats set before us today is a spoiled Ham, and it is dog-gone full of political skippers; for he called us col ored folks niggers and boys and called tho white folks “my fellow citizens." No, we black folks don't like spoiled meat like that skipper Ham is. We are going to keep on eating bulk meat and chicken, and just as sure as the sun rises we are going- to vote for Judge Hines.” • The democrats are compelled to re sort to many kinds of tricks to get the colored votes, while the populists are stooping to nothing low or dirty to get a vote for their ticket in this county. The campaign circular of Lawyer 11. C. T. Kittles created no little excite ment in the local ranks of Coweta’s democracy. The fa--ts the circular con tained were nothing new to them, but the facts getting before tie public stir red them up. The affidavit of denial by A. C. Banks, published in the Constitution Saturday, leaves this man Banks absolutely with out honor or standing among the white and colored people of Newnan. Many others heard the dispute refer red to, and Hanks is the man who told almost every lending colored man in Newnan that Mr. Atkinson used the language in question. But it is known by every white and colored man in Newnan that this man Bunks is now one of the paid hirelings of the local democracy to aid in cap turing, if possible, the colored vote of this county, and this affidavit is a part of his work paid for. This same man Banks and another Negro hireling tried to create disturb ance in the populist county convention last week by demanding that a colored man bo put on the local county ticket for legislature.!! This was a dirty trick of the local democracy, and as they could find no white man in Coweta county low enough to do such a dirty trick, they found two dirty hirelings without res pect or following among th»ir own people to attempt the dirty work for them. But the intelligent colored peo pie are on to‘all of the tricks and unless nil signs fail the vote for Judge Hines in Coweta county will be surprising. # ««ran<r Jury nnaas tne inflictmruts.

MRS. JULIA ROWE WRITES AND TELLS HOW SHE WAS TREATED By W. Y. Atkinson, the Demo cratic Nominee for Gov ernor of Georgia. The following letter from Mrs Julia Rowe explains itself : Editor Daily Press : Please allow me space in your paper to correct a false statement made by Atkinson in the Atlanta Journal of tne 25 of Sep tember. wherein he clears himself so nicely and also claims that I am being used as a tool by my father. That is untrue, my father has been blind for some time and can neither read nor write. Atkinson also claims that he has done more for me thin anyone. This is true, for he has taken my home from me and my children. As for Atkinson's giving me rent for four years, as base a lie was never told. When iny husband died, my oldest son was only ten years old. I could not cultivate my own land and never had a hand on the place; this I can prove by my neighbors. Atkinson's part of the land was not cultivated at all, and if it had not been for my father’s help since my husband's death, I and my children would have lived on sufferance. When Atkinson wrote me February 14 last to get off of his land or he would’have the sheriff throw me off. where did Igo for help but to my father. I learn from my father that Atkinson never had any business trans action witli him at all. Atkinson went to him a short time after my husband's death to divide the land. He wanted the house 1 was liting in and all the best land on the public road. To this my father objected as I would have done. At the same time telling Atkinson that ho didn’t know how he got the claim on the land un less he got it by his rascality. This he did not resent at all but got in his buggy and drove off. Atkinson also stated that my hus band and my father were not on good terms at the time of mj’ husband’s death. That is another of his infamous lies. As to my father and his brothers not being ou good terms, that lias nothing to do with Atkipson's treatment of me in the laud transaction. Neither has that inoffensive colored man anything to do with it. As for Atkinson's thinking that the way he has treated me will strengthen him in this community, this is all a mistake. He will get but a small vote in this county, where it is so well known how he took undue advantage of me and got my home. Now, Mr. Thousand Dollar Bill, next time write to me und not to father.

Andrew Jackson Laird is in the county jail charged with the embez zlement of government funds during his daughter’s terra as postmistress at LftCjrange, will be trie'd at Columbus at the term of court. An indictment found just after Laird skipped is the One to which he will plead and this charges him with em bezzlement to the extent of 8800. Mr. Laird who, by the way, bears a striking resemblance to Actor Charles Coughlin, in speaking of his case to a Press reporter practically admitted his quilt of the embezzlement charge, but denied the charge against him of forg ing money orders to the extent of $3,000. He said that when Inspector Baird came to check up the offlea he told him frankly that there was a shortage, but that if he would wait a few days he would replace the money. This, Mr. Laird claims Baird agreed to do and he immediately left for Ala bama to make arrangements to obtain the money. Before securing the de sired amount friends came to him ahd told him that Baird had publicly stated that lie would arrest Mr. Laird whether the shortage was made good or not Under these circumstances Mr. Laird deemed his immediate absence advis able and he left tho country. Since his flight he has been iu nearly every part of the country and when captured he hud established a paying insurance business in Los Angeles.

Democrats Concede the County Donbt ful. Hines and Watson Tonight. Avgusta, Ga., Oct 2.—(Special)— The populist chlhpalgp will close to night with the grandest rally ever held in Richmond county. Tcnight Judfce James K. Hines, the popnlist candidate for governor, and Hon. Thomas E. Watson, the next con gressman from the tenth district, will address the populists of the county at the opera house. From the present in dications the accommodations will be entirely inadequate, and an ovation such as has never been given a public speaker, will be tendered the populist leaders tonight. Augusta, the stronghold of democ racy in the Tenth congressional dis trict, is alive to the situation and even the democratic leaders place it in the doubtful column. The campaign for the democrats was brought to a close last night by Hon. VV. Y. Atkinson, who spoke to a crowd numbering about 700, composed of pop ulists, democrats and fifty Negroes. There was a noticeable lack of enthu siasm, and his eulogies of the demo cratic platform and party record did not provoke the expected approval. The democratic leaders are making a desperate effort to save the county and congressional district for the dem ocratic Column but their efforts will be fruitless. They admit freely and openly that the only hope that Major Black stands of beiug returned to congress is for Augusta to offset the riiajority which Mr. Watson is sure to have from every country precinct in the district. This is from democratic headquar ters, and with a fair and honest count Richmond county will follow the lead of the other counties in the district, and go overwhelmingly for Hines, Watson aud the balance of the ticket.

The meeting will be under the auspices of the Y’oung Men's Demo cratic League and President Will Black will preside. It will be the last rally of the cam paign, and the democrats will make an extra effort to offset the magnificent ovation tendered Hon. Thomas E. Wat son last night. RABBI REICH’S DISCOURSE. On the Jews aud Their Recep tion of Christ. The discourse delivered yesterday at the Jewish synagogue by Rabbi Reich was in refutation of the charge that Is rael was scattered by reason of her re ception of the Savior, and that in con sequence of this fact the curse of God was upon the nation. The speaker argued that long befo - e the advent of Christ the race had dis persed to every section of the earth and he quoted divine passages in support of this statement. His address was an intellectual refu tation of this unfounded charge made by some protsstant ministers, and the rabbi was attentively listened to by a large audience of his own race. aug. mooted by a large number of gentiles- A Street Fight. S. D. Siler and George A. F*lmar. partners doing business under the name of the Siler Book Company have been on bad terms since the application made to Judge Lumpkin several days ago for a receiver for the business. The affair culminated yesterday in a fight in which Mr. Siler came out second best. Mr. Falmar made a proposition to Mr. Siler vesterday morning looking to wards a settlement. This Mr. Siler re fused, whereupon Mr. Falmar applied an abusive name to his partner. They mixed. Mr. Falmer grabbed a paper weight of liberal dimensions and pum rneled his partner's head until blood flowed from several wound*. Both combatants were arrested but subsequently released, and they will be tried this afternoon before Recorder Calhqua. ELECTION TOMORROW SPEECHRAKING CLOSES TO DAY ON BOTH SIDES.

The democrats finish up with a rally at DeGive's tonight, when Hon. W. Y. Atkinson will attempt to show to an Atlanta audience that he should be the neit governor of Georgia. Judge Hines had no intention of making any speeches this week: but during the day yesterday, such urgent appeals came to him and Mr. Watson from Augusta that they would not refuse. They le'ft Atlanta this morning at 7:15 for Richmond county. That Judge Hines will carry the state there is absolutely no doubt Democrats are despondent, while the populists are happy and jubilant from the mountains to the seaboard. THE POPULIST TICKET.
