'I lii - li eti: n of William J. Bry
an a< democratic nominee for pres
i<h nt w a- < in' of those inspirations
w hii'li ime to men under sudden
impul •. Il was just I his excito
ii.' nt w hich forced ( b-mTul I lan
cock's nomination in 1880, after
t h" I' ii'i - nsic eil’orl of I Jan iy 1 Dough
erty. The same frenzy made Gar
field a president and it was this
kind of moving eloquence from
.Ingwrsoll in 1876 which thrust
Blaine to the forefront as “the
plumed knight” and eight years
hit r iiindi' him the nominee of the
party. Garfield’s speech was a
protest against (he arrogance of
< nkiing, the bossism of Don
('aiib'ion, the iron rule of thoeast.
Bryan' -pooch on Thursday was a
I hl I" Hill's defiance, Whitney's
' in opp isilion, and the unyield
ing, ranks of Tammany and New
England. Il was the final charge
ot the undisciplined and unmar
sliai 'd hosts of the people as they
swarmed over the ramparts of cap
ital and conservatism. When the
young corporal of Brienne waved
hi sword at Toulon (ho mobs ol
Paris broke through the allied ar
mies ol Austria mid England. Ami
they did not stop until fifteen
years la'er, they were driven back
from Russia and surrendered with
Ney under th" shadow of the
French capital again. During all

tion i'b. >mas Jefferson sat utnn v

a’ us -of the reign of terror by
t . • reflection that “it was the work
ol the people." And when we
think ovi r the scenes at Chicago,
read (ho populist programme, and
go over the thrilling words of the
' <y orator and boy candidate we
rm t allow that it was the work of
the rank and tile, not the leaders.
Eor once the loaders wore left.
I. uiis Nap loon that there
wire times when the masses swept

has alm. - saui’g . i into the
p. puii-t « a ”o. Al. 'arguments
which !:.> ,ri d a tai :-t David B.
Hill on ,-sday h" had at his
’ .g ’r'-II .a-spoken them
and written tbc-m time and again.
He entt'rod Chieag'o on the out
liirt- of d ni «T: v. He was
merely a v".itestiiig delegate. The
■g 1:• n bad t prima facie cr<>-
«:'niials. Ii was no cert .inty that
young Bryan wciihl even view the
jr *•'"din ;s nearer than a seat in
i':egalbry. finally the silver
i.j . med t’if- administration
t
m -n and J. Sterling Morton's dele
gation had to retire. Then the '
boy Bryan and hia crowd marched
in behind a brass band, with a
modest banner and a tiny boom.
Emergencies make men. Sena
tor Hill is responsible for Bryan.
The speech of the cold New Yorker
—studied, pungent, ingenious and
satirical —moved the administra
tion men to sheers and stirred the
silver men to desperation. It was
just such a masterful analysis as;
David B. Hill knew how to make.
He dissected every fiber of the
populist platform, Put money, in
come tax, and all. It was a piti
less display of cold stool. He ar
raigned the majority and held
their patchwork and populistic
planks up to ridicule. Wlrnn he
sat down the galleries, which al
ways back the minority, gave him
an ovation. The administration '
m<n hailed him as their champion.
He had boon beaten down by Dan
iel, but his revenge was splendid.
It seemed that the crowd was with
silver, but the argument was with
the administration. The forensic
display of the majority had not
been creditable. John W. Daniel
had lost a groat opportunity. He
had disappointed his hearers. Ben
Tillman had mouthed and fumed
and sat down in the midst of de
rision. Hill and Russell had more
than held their own and the big
silver majority sat there enfiladed
and stilettoed, bled and exposed,
helpless and furious, overwhelm
ing but impotent. It was an army
without a leader.
Then theTo was a diversion. The
crowd parted and a square-shoul
dered young man elbowed his way
to the front. A cheer went up.
The fury of the mob had found ex
pression. Ben Hur had leaped ;
full panoplied into the’race. Bien-j
zi, the tribune, was before the peo
ple. Springing up the rampndoux
two steps at a time, he stood upon
the rostrum with arms extended
and foot advanced. His eyes were |
aflame, his square jaw was set. He i
was the ideal orator, the gladiator,
the “star” who hud stepped from a
tragic stage. As one man has
written, he was “as earnest as Sa
vanarola and as eloquent as Inger
soll.” Be hurled defiance at Hill.
He was the tribune defying the
ruling classes, confronting the Co
lonna.
To sum up. Will a man with a
capacity to set a nation on tiro
with one speech make a good pres
ident? Not necessarily. The ora
torical temperament and the exec
utive temperament do not often
go together. But Bryan is a states
man and a student. He has shown
devotion to the great democratic
principle of tariff reform and the
power to loyally espouse what he I
believes is a great principle. He ■
is fearless and honest. Ho is j
clean, captivating and bracing. !
has dabbled too much into popu
lism and is responsible, perhaps,
for too many western ideas in the
democratic platform. But if he is
elected, power will sober him. He
repudiated Tillmanism in his open- ‘
ing remarks. That is something
He is the best expression of the I
winning idea of silver renaissance.
Let us take him as he is and make I
the most of him. He is more than
a put! from the prairie. The Press
I will support him.
Senator Teller is for Bryan.
Secretary Herbert has bolted.
. Let him go.
Coi. Peek, the Populist, is likely
to be nominated for governor.
Tillman got nicely snubbed at
Chicago. That was good.
What Cell’s the matter o’ Billy
Bryan? Nothing! He’s all right 1
It. is not possible for lhe ’silver
cause to win without a union of !
all its friends.
The Atlanta Journal seems to
; be staying in the Democratic camp
very regret fully.
And the New York Sun has bol
ted the Chicago nomination!
Goad! The Sun supported Ben
Butler for president once.
Some of the Wall street Demo
crats say they will gc fishing on
election day. It is hoped they
will stay.

Grand Jury Presentments July
Term 1896.
We the Grand Jury, duly quali
fied for the July Term 1896, sub
mit these our gem ral present ments.
Through proper committees we
have examined the books of the
various officers of the county to
wit: the Ordinary. Siu riff. Treas
urer. and the Notaries and Justices
of the Peace, in said county and
report as follows:
Referring to the dockets of the
Justices ot the Peace and Notaries
Public W" find tl at some < f them
nsepencil inst- ad of ink. and furth
er, that one Justice fails to fill in
tile caption of each case with term
of court and dates. We recom
mend that all officers of the conn
!
<►
ty use pen and ink, instead of p-m
--ci’, even to subpoena dockets.
i We find the books of the Clerk
and Ordinary neatly and credita
bly kept.
We find that the Treasurer’s
books, accompanied by proper
vouchors, show the following:
Cash on band Jan. 13,

Receipts since 103.10
Balance 596.78 ■
We find all the buildings on the!
poor farm in good condition, the]
eleven inmates well cared for and !
contented with the provision made !
for them. Wo find that the one I
well on the pjace does not afford a ■
sufficient amount of wholesome I
water during dry weather, and we !
recommend that a cistern bo dug :
lont he premises; also that the)
! dwelling houses bo ceiled. We i
’ find on hand about lot) pounds of
lard, and 300 pounds good bacon,
I raised on farm, two good milk
cow s and plenty of chickens. There
is planted on tho farm about 12 ;
acres in cotton and 18 or 20 in !
, ci rn, all in excellent condition.
G. B. Al yers having been appoin
| ted to fill tho vacancy in Board of
Education occasioned by tho death
<fD. T Espy, said appointment
expiring at this term of court, we
have re-elected him for a term of I
years.
J , I
We have elected Richard Garner
; N. P. for Alpine district and D. A. j
Hemphill N. I’, for Teloga district, |
We approve tho account of $127- j
(jo of John Alattox, Ordinary, and |
recommend that same bo paid.
The Ordinary reports $10.36
collected as rents from county
farm, which has been added to
pauper fund.
We recommend payment of ac
count of D. P. Henley, Deputy
Sheri ff, for $36.40; S3O for expenses
going to Butts county fur F. T. !
Weesner and $6.40 for trip to i
Floyd county for Albert Deering. I
We recommend that jurors and I
I bailiffs receive same payasherete
fore to wit : $2.00 per day.
It is the sense of this grand jury
I that the Board of Education dis
- continue what is termed tho “In-1
! stitute,” especially so long as said j
Institute is sustained at tho ex-I
j pense ol the schcol fund. We do'
( not consider that the benefits de-
I rived, if any, are commensurate
i with the expense. Wo uro opposed !
j to any part of the. school fund be-1
ing used for any purpose whatever
! except for absolute school purposes.
Both the Clerk and Sheriff re
pert that they have no money in !
their hands belonging to county |
or state, unaccounted for.
Wo call the attention of tho Or
dinary to the unsafe condition of I
the bridge across Davis creek, near!
Kartah, and'recommend that tho •
same be repaired at once.
We recommend that these pre
sentments be published ‘in the
Chattooga News and the Trion
Echo and that they ho paid $3 50
each for the same.

HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA.
On Friday and Saturday, Aug.
7 and 8, the colored people will
hold the biggest picnic ever given
in Georgia, at Calhoun. Arrange

6,0(10 people: all the railways will
make special rates; three brass
bands have been engaged, and
there will be the old time singing
and banjo-picking, and, above all,
a mammoth barbecue,
It is a fact that Hood's Sarsapa
rilla. the One True Blood Purifier,
has proved, over and over again,
that it has power to cure, even
when other medicines fail to do
any good.
Hood’s Pi Ik are purely vegeta

I prevent such eruptions and suffering.
“I had a dreadful carbuncle abscess,
red, fiery, fierce and sore. The doctor at

abscess broke, the pains were terrible, and
I thought I should not live through it. I

For Representative.
I hereby announce myself a can
didate to represent the people of
Chattooga county in the next Gen
eral Assembly.
Believing as Ido that t: a public
office is a public trust;” that a
man elected by the people is tlieir
servant and not their master;
therefore if elected I will, to the
best of my ability, represent the
people regardless of any party.
Viewing the money question as
the greatest issue of the day and
favoring the fiee and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to 1 and following the teachings
of Jefferson and Jackson that
Nalional Banks and Banks of issue
are dangerous to the welfare and
liberties of the people and ought
to be suppressed. Heirce if elected
I will do all in my yower to elect
a man to the United State Senate
who favors the same.
Education is the hope of the
state, therefore I am in favor of it
liberal support of the public
schools.
J oppose the pfesent convict sys
tem as it is inhumane and in com
petition with free labor.
As the price of tbc products of
’abor has decreased and the pur
chasing ]>ower of money has in
creased and I deem it just and
right that fees and salaries be re
duced.
Asking the support of every man
in the county lam very respect
fully. A. J. Moore.
