GOV. CANDLER
rddressed the People o f
Franklin Yesterday.
TENDERED NN OVATION.
Ringing Words From tho O d
Commoner on the War.
Barnesville Ga., July 7. —Hon.
Alien D. Candle’- spoke to an im
tneiiße mdience here in the court
hiuee t< day. Became to the
oounty not a» a candidate for goVn
• ’nor, but to meet hi» lifelong
friendi and to spend a day with
them.
It was estimated that half his
•ud'.enca were Populists.
Duri ig the speech Col. Caudler
waa frequently cheered by Popu
lists and Democrats alike. The
very best feeling prevailed. As
soon as he appeared on the streets
a Rn-at crowd of his old friends,
composed of members of both par
ties, gathered to meet him and pay
the great rerpect they have always
felt for him.
In speaking of the war, Colonel
Candler said :
”1 have stood with you all in
fu’iit ot battle and would that we
c.uld stand together now. Today
We again stand in the midst of
**r Ou r soldiers are now fight
ing unuer a tropical sun. And
is a large Party in this coun
try favorable to coi quest, a party
"liieh would reach out to the ends
°f the earth to add conquest after
conquest to our preset t terri*
*”ry. jhey do this in the face
the the tact that such a
course would be to overturn
* ur whole govern me ital policy. I
8 8rsw with on this
though Ido not sgree with
• everywhere . I agree with Wil-
liam J. Bryan that we must not
depart from the old landmarks.
W<- must not break the old ship of
state away from her ancient moor
ings Why? Because when we ex
'end our territory, we must main
t in an immense standing army,
and niv friends, who supports
this standing army?
“The great masses of tbe peo
ple. It wdl bring renewed burdens.
It will entail greater taxation, and
harder times. Now, it is an abso
lute necessity that we stand to
githertomeet the enemy when
the war is closed, and an attempt
is made to threat upon,us this
new territorial extension idea.
There are Democrats wno favor
this new doctrine, and we must
begin now to meet this heresy.
When the war is ended, and that
will not be in the dis'ant future,
this question must be settled, our
peopl», the masses, must win,
“Let us stand to meet
oir great eaemy, t e Republican
party. This war tax is already
falling heavily upon us, and I fear
that the scenes of reconstruction
will again be enacted unless we
can lay aside our differences at
home and prepare to defeat these
new ideas. We all claim to be Jef
fersonian Democrats. I claim to
bi such. Why cannot we agree,
th-n? We are honest in our con
victions Let us come together
and stand as one man as we did in
the years following 1865.
“This is not a year of national
elections, and wa ought to begin
tc prepare for the trials which
must come after this war is clos
ed ”
Referring to ths reduction of
taxeq Col. Candler said :
“If elected governor, as I b«-
lieve I shall be, I cannot say to
you that I will reduce taxes, be
cause you know that the governor
cannot alone do this. But I wish
to say that he can wield an influ
ence in that direction. If the
people should, by some accident,
send up a legislature which shou d
attempt to raise taxation. I prom
ise you that I can use tbe veto
.power, and that I will do it.”

The Great Medicine that Gives
Nerve Strength
Hood’s Sarsaparilla Makes the
Blood Rich and Pure, Creates an
Appetite and Restores Health,
Vigor and Vitality.
“I feel that I ought to write a few
words in praise of J food’s Sarsaparilla,
which has done great things for me. I
was in a delicate condition and was sick
at my stomach and constipated. I tried
remedies highly recommended for female
weaknesses, but the medicines brought
on other troubles. 1 was so weak I
could not attend to my household duties,
and I then determined to try Hood's Sar
saparilla. After I had taken this medicine
a short time I began to gain strength. I
Crew Stronger Each Dry,
until I was able to work ail day without
any inconvenience. 1 have taken Hood’s
Pilis for constipation, and I am better to
day than I have been for five years.
Since taking Hood’n Sarsaparilla and
Hood’s Pills I feel rested in the morning.
1 am less nervous and ain sure I have
richer and purer blood. I have always
oeeti bothered with scrofula, but now I
•an rid of it. Before my last child was
torn I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and
ny girl baby was fat and strong, w hile
iy other child was not well and lived
o be only two years old.” Mbs. E. F,
