Now. we have the electoral

perhaps, for the people, if both

with nncuralde rascality. Wo

Was there ever such a party as
the organized democracy ■ It
stole the republican platform,
when it idiandoned its own, and
“ endorsed and approved” the
18th, Itth and 15th amendments,
and it is now doing its level best
to gobble up the popular green

republican party. It is now so

people of the Ninth to sacrifice
all considerations in behalf of
that dear old ring, “the organized

fast and foamy, like waves driven

vogue to the saying of an ancient

It is a falacy. When liberty takes

The Great commoner, A. H.

•• No. The constitution of 1877
requires the voter to have paid

required of him, except for the

of the voter is, • I have paid all

previous to this year.' Every
voter, if challenged for non pay

THE mfA( AND FIRESIDE—MARIETTA. (GA.) THURSDAY, OCTOBER IT. IS7S
[l OM MI SK VlKb.j
Hie speaking at Thomas’ .Kills
Floyd County.
Cave Spring, Oct.. 13 1878.
To (he field Hud firesidt. :
There was a large concourse of
people at this: speaking appoint
merit of Dr. Felton. The ennlin
ued rain of forty eight hours, in
dined a great many to believe
there would he no speaking on.
account of the weather; .but It
cleared away about fen owpeky
and there were three or four him
died gathered at the beautiful
spot selected for the speaking
place.
Tin stand was beautifully fen.
tooned with Mowers, —and every
body had a look of enthusiasm
and earnestness. Dr. Felton was
introduced to this large audience
of ladies and gentlemen, and en
tertaiud them for more than two
hours. The very en
thusiastic, and prolonged cheers
filled the air. When he showed
up Judge Lester’s receipt, and
Gov. Brown’s protest, 1 tell von
there was intense feeling in that
crowd. A little squad of Lexter
ituH disgusted the people with
their efforts to interrupt the
speaker, blit they got cheers e
nough lor “Felton” to make them
look as cheap as they felt.
The crowd adjotirnd to a Donn
1 itill basketdinner, a plenty for
all-white and colored, and after
it was over lion. A. J. King took
the stand, and 1 tell you he sail
ed into the organised. He told
them, he had stood by them on
til their trickery disgusted him
that, they sold out every man
whom they coaid not use. When
Floyd county had previously en
dorsed him in a primary election
—they would cheat him in their
executive committee. It was a
scathing speech—and nobody
could reply to it. 1 never heard
such a dcnoiinciation of organ!/,
ed parties, who organize for self
isli purposes and for plunder, so
well described.
He is an independent democrat
in the legisdal hi**- Floyd county
has two noble independents, and
(fen. (Jordon is antagonizing the
independents all over State, lv
his stipcrnuuery work in the sev
entli district, lie lost two votes
in Floyd not to speak of other
counties.
There was a very large crowd
at ibis place. Gave Spring, that
night, and old Record made a
name for himself that is unsur
passed in that city. Four-fifths
were Felton men and they aie all
alive and working for their lion
est representative. The Brass
Band discoursed good music, and
the ladies graced the speaking
with their presence. The ladies
can always go to Dr. Felton’s ap
poi nt men t s—no v 111 garitv—no
“double outside” jokes, no dirty
insinuations mark his speeches. (
(I hear that Judge Lester at A
dairsville, made himself a name!
with some of his anecdotes. Ask
the ladies of this place about it.)
Judge Lester told the people at
Cave Spring that eight tenths of
the ladies are for him in the dis
trict. His vanity has misled him
again. He will find out at the e
lection; that the Felton ladies
vote with their husbands—and,
that the eight tenths will count
on the other score.
But I must hurry on. On Sat
urday—a numerous crowd as
semblcd at Cedar Town, to greet
their old hero, W. H. Felton. The
court house did not hold the
I crowd, standing room was not to
: lie had inside. The ladies were
on hand and the brass band went
from Cave Springs to usher the
speaker into the town, where lie
has so many warm active friends
For two hours or more Felton ad
! dressed that intelligent audience
and some parties told the writei
it was the best speech of his life

to little Dtjlimy Milner, and Lin

people maintain their rights to
vote as intelligent freemen. The
; time has past when such men
could deceive the honest farmers
of the seventh district. Colquitt
and Gordon are afraid Felton will
he the leader of the Independent
democrats in Georgia, and as they
have been working in the organ
ized lead for sometime, they are
restless and are striving with all
their power to diag him down.
(Shame upon such men, whom
Georgia has thus honored ! for
personal spile and personal profit
they cloak their attacks upon Dr.
Felton, under a cry for organisa
hot).
Dr. Felton has been as true to
Georgia as either of them. He
has never attacked either. But
the people mark the tight and
watch the assailant, and will re
member them both, for this par
tizan warfare on a man, whom
the people accept, as their honor
aide and honest representative.
Gov. Colquitt had bitter foes in
the organized ranks in 187(>. Fel
ton men supported him and he
came in ahead. Now he is paying
them hack, with interest. As
Hon. Mr. King said at Thomas’
Mills, “If you stand in their way,
they will throw you overboard.”
Let the people stand to their
rights as Freemen.

Lester repudiates the Ringgold
platform on the financial ques
tion, denouncing now. State or
wild cat banks, and insisting up
on gieenback currency as the ex

convertible into gold and silver,
or tiat money, convertible into
nothing ?
Is it a threat ( A Lester corres
