At 12 o’clock noon today the
mass meeting that had been called
to hear pure democracy preached
by apostles, high in the faith, was
called to order in a brief but elo
quent speech by Hon. W. J. Neel,
who introduced to the audience
General Clement A. Evans.
General Evans rose and was
greeted by a storm of applause,
such a storm as guaranteed him
his belief that he was on his native
heath and was really so far as the
‘‘Banner county” democrats was
concerned was “Governor of
Floyd ”
Genera! Evans, opening remarks
were expressions of love and ad
miration for “the people” among
whom he had dwelled and whom
he knew but to love and admire;
and the reception ot his remarks
showed that his hearers were full
of the doctrine of “reciprocity.”
He defended the Democratic
party and its record for the pres
ent administration and said that
all had I een accomplished that
could possibly have been done by
any party. There were perhaps a
few democrats in high places, who
have betrayed the people and prov
en themselves traitors to the par

to the complaints of the third par

He explained the idea of popul

among the mongrel citizenry of the
North West. Charged its introduc
tion in Georgia with destroying
the Alliance which should have
been preserved, Was a friend of the
Alliance and then he waded into
the financial system proposed by
the populists and showed it up as
wores than impractiable.
He paid his respects to the wild
wild-cat railroad schen es of the
followers of Watson and Peffer.
“If you desire to be ruled by a
king you should put the populist
in power and permit them to carry
out their policy. The President he
would control the army and Navy,
the money of the realm and the
railroads of the nation and be
tomorrow, king emperor. Czar,

plause)
He then reviewed the wild cat
bills that have already been intro
duced by populist legislators, con
gressman and Senators.
While the pops are clamoring
for an income tux, the democrats
have already passed that bill an
it is a law. The income tax is a
just and honest law.
Democracy has deposed the Mc-
Kinley tariff law and while itjis
not all we want, still it e ’is the be

ELOQUENT 808 BURNER
At 1:15 p.m. General Evans
finished amid enthusiastic shouts
of applause. Mr. Neel, advanced
and in a dozzeu well choosen words
introduced eloquent Bob Burner
of the county of Monroe.
Mr. Burner said that the fight
now was not like the fight two
years ago. At that time the popu
lists were a hidden enemy with
an unknown strength, shooting at
us from the bush—today we have
them in the open field.
Few people in the audience had ■
ever heard Mr. Burner speak and
the way he warmed up the crowd
was <>f its self electrifying.
He put the democratic party’ on
trial and rattled in such .a Hood of
eloquent evidence that every dem
ocrat in the audience felt like
shouting while the pops who did
not come across looked like tak
ing to the woods.
Then he put the pops and their
leaders on trial and had some of
their own followers rendering a
verdict of “incompetency ” against
it.
Mr. Burner showed that by the
revison of the tariff that Floyd
county would save $60,000 per
annum because of Free Wool, and
$15,0(0 per annum because of free
Cotton bagging.
To undertake to report his speach
or describs his eloquence would be t°
attempt the impossibl . He was like
a clyclone of prosperity careering
through a land of milk and honey and
men who have for months been open
in their hostility to president Cleve
land were persuaded to cheer to the
echo his ’name every time it was
mentioned.
“OUR JOHN.”
Mr. Burner, or as he is now
miliarly known : -Matchless Bob
Burner” spoke until nearly three
o’clock when he gave place to North
West Georgia’s favorite son
“Cur John,”
Again Mr Neel mounted the ros
trum and this time brought to the
front Congressman John W. Mad
dox, who delivered a masterly
three quarter hour speech.
Judge Maddox was at his best
but stated that owing to the late
ness of the hour he would only
give a partial account of his stew
artship.
He exhibited a letter from
Speaker Crisp which stated that
the speaker would be in Rome
about the 29th. and would speak
to the people of North West Geor
gia.
At 4 o’clock Judge Maddox clos
ed and the meeting adjourned.
A GRAND RALLY.
The Democrats of Floyd propose
holding a grand rally in this city
on about the 29th. of September
at which time Speaker Crisp, Hon-
A. O. Bacon, Judge Maddox and
possibly Hoke Smith and Govern
or Atkinson will be present and
speak. Floyd is safe to Democracy
by over 1000 majority.
Letters From the People.
Editor Hustler of Romo :
I desire to ask through the col"
umns of yoiir valuable paper, who
it is that has taken the authority
unto themselves to go into the
wholesale poisoning business in
Rome? It seems they have no re
gard for the property of others,
that is if dogs can be classed as
property, and I 'know that some
people have dogs they prize a great
deal higher than any other proper
ty’ they’ own. The writer had a dog
poisoned by some miscreant, that
he would not have parted with for
any reasonable consideration.
But these high handed sneaking
Hyenas, in human form have taken
it upon themselves to poison my
dog. Now I want to be reasonable,
but I think it is time somebody
is made to show their authority
for going around throwing out
posion promiscously, or else be
hunted down and given Justice,
And my idea is a dose of their
own medicine would be as near
justice as they could get

A HOLE OF DEATH.
Duluth, Minn , September G. —
The relief parly which left here in
charge of W • T. Bailey and George
Ash, tc search the eastern line,
found eighteen dead bodies in cue
dugout, into which the victims had
rushed, hoping to escape with their
lives, only to find that they had
jumped into a veritable furnace.
WORK OF RELIEF.
Pine City, Minn., Sept. s—The5 —The
worst has probably been told at |
Hinckley, and it is doubtful if
there will be any very large addi
tions to the list of the dead. Last
night several bodies were found in
a cellar, but they were so badly
burned that it was impossible to
determine whether there were
three or four bodies.
Supplies are coming into Hick
ley at a r’«pid rate ami there is no
lack, in any depar’.ment of relief
work.
The relief committee appointed
by Governor Nelson arrived here
tonight for the purpose of canvass
ing the situation and syetainizing
the relief work. This committee
consists of Charles A. Pillsbury,
of Minneapolis; Kenneth Clark, ot
St, Paul; Charles H. Graves, o 1
Duluth; M. G. Norton, of Winona,
and H.H, Hart, of St, Paul. No
money has been turned over to the
euffeiere as yet
All persons and bodies that have
collected cash donations have wise
ly refrained from giving any to
the refugees, and there is a gener
al understanding that every’ cent
shall be turned over to the state
committee., which, on account of
the complete information it will
have, will be able to handle the
funds to the best advantage.
The excitement caused by fire at
Pokagama has about subsided and
now that all the dead have been
buried, attention is being paid to
the hundreds of dead animals
scattered over the country. These
are being cremated as fast as
found.
Not a vestige of the village re
mains but the surviving inhabi
tants, who have been cared tor by
citizens of St. Cloud, are prepar
ing to rebuild their homes as soon
as material can be provided.
There are no fires in the vicinity
of Carlton, reports from Duluth
notwithstanding.
Mr. Duke Black received a rele
gram from the Cartersville base
ball club this morning stating that
they would be here for three games
the latter part of next week . Il
will be a series of fine games, and
the Rome boys say they must have
two out of three.
