THE ARGUS: DALTON. GA.. SATURDAY: JULY 28. 1894.
IM MEMORIAM-HIGH W« BOGLE.
Written for The Argus.
Ala, why did death relentless aim
His shaft at one so gay,
An<l ere his message did proclaim,
lie snatched the child away?
Before the embryo bud disclosed
It’s beauties to the eye,
Fast in his cruel grasp enclosed,
th! it was doomed to die.
How passing strange to human mind,
And overwhela ing, too;
The dispensation seems unkind
Tosu|H'rliciul view.
His dear son torn from his side,
The father’s hope has fled.
His tender sister’s onlv pride,
His mother bows her head
Full low In grief, yea, deep despair
lias settled on her mind.
She looks at ound; he is not there.
Her child rhe fain would find.
Among the group of loyely ones
He was the brightest star;
Os all the youths, ot the dear ones
None could with him compare.
Inscrutable Thy ways. O. God,
Ah, who can comprehend?
Then let us meekly ki»s the rod,
And on Thy love depend.
Thou hast but claimed Thine own again
And called him to Thine arms.
Then cease tomi mourners to coinplain,
Since naught his spirit harms.
He can’t return to cheer us here.
But we can go to him.
From toil and pain ami anxious care.
His savior took Liu. in.
He’s reached at last that world of light
Where soriows never rise;
Where sougs of triumph ami delight
Make nrisic in the skies.
—Mrs. C.llik Echols.
The Third Party Convention.
The populists of Whitfield met in the
court house hist Saturday for the pur
pose of nominating legislative and sena
torial candidates. A gieat many visiting
democrats and Murray people were in
the house, and at one time before dinner
the crowd numbered 340, about 200 of
whom were populists.
The regular order of such conventions
was reversed, the nominations were
postponed and Dr. Stafford spoke for
three hours, abusing democracy and
preaching Ocalaisui. In substance his
remarks were as follows:
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
NOTHING.
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
After Dr. Stafford closed, those who
had remained through his speech, at 1
o’clock made a rush for dinner, for as
Riley A. Giddens put it to The Argus:
“I was wearied by the speech, and as
hungry as a wolf. It always makes me
tired and sick to listen to long talks and
miss my regular dinner hour.”
Upon reassembling at 2 o’clock the at
tendance was much smaller than in the
morning, fully 50 per cent, of the coun
try boys having become wearied and
gone home. The work of nominations
was entered into, with the following re
sult:
FOR STATE SENATOR.
Riley A. Giddens 86
Rev A. J. Mann 7
A. B. Nuckols 4
Joe H. Moore 3
J. J. Caylor 2
N. A. Bradford 71
W. H. C. Freeman 2
Total vote cast 105
FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
J. H. Moore 70
N. A. Bradford 0
J. J. Caylor 41
W. H. C. Freeman 1
Rev. A. J. Mann 4
Total vote cast 125
The voting in the convention was ab
solutely fair, and showed that Giddens
is the choice of 86 populists, and Moore
the choice of 70.
After the balloting, Mr. McGarrity,
candidate for congress, addressed the
small crowd that remained. His speech
was on the same line as Dr. Stafford's,
and was in substance:
6 0 0 0 0 0 0
nothing.
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Riley A. Giddens introduced a set of
resolutions, which were adopted. The
resolutions endorsed the Omaha platform
and populist state platform, abused
Cleveland and democracy, and recited a
few long-exploded and refuted lies started
against the administration by the ene
mies of democracy, through Washington
correspondents.
The meeting was harmonious as a
whole, but a good deal of grumbling was
indulged in by the “wool hat boys”, who
were deprived of the privilege of voting
by that three hours’ speech.
Ingersoll on the 3 P.
Bob Ingersoll is “way off” on relig
ious matters, but when it comes to the
populistic party he drives the nail up
to the head. He characterizes it as
follows:
“It has no future. It has no foun
dation. Its platform is a collection
of chimeras—of exploded theories—
remnants and rags of socialism —the
enslavement of all by the government,
under the idea that the government
will support the people. We all know
the government is a pauper, that the
people must support it, that the peo
ple produce and the government con
sumes. We do not want the govern
ment to do what individuals and cor
porations can do. Ihe people would
become children. Let the govern
ment do those things that the citizen
connotdo —protect us from foreign
foes, enforce honest contracts and
keep the peace. The populist party
has no mission, no reason for exist
ence, and I think it has about run its
course.”
