Grand Rally To B> Held in Rome Tomorrow JUDGE CRISP, MR BERNER A Grana Rally of the Woobhat Boys A Reception onto Night at The Arm strong Hotel Wednesday, Sept. 2d. is the day. The wool-hat boys will be out in force. Democracy’s speakers have the right of way. And Democracy will “get there,” of course. Speaker Charles of Crisp of congress aud the peerless “Bob” Berner, of Monroe, and “Our John,” are booked as the speak ers. Arrangements are being per fected by which the Nevin Opera house will be secured for the rally ; the East Rome cornet band has been engaged to furnish music for the occasion and every indication points to a very large assemblage tomorrow. The program a'or the speaking has not been fu>ly determined up on, but wil 1 begin at 10:30 o’clock with Mr. Crisp, probably, to lead off. Thi« great democrat is not a stranger in Rome and Floyd county, a fact fully demonstrated in the June primary returns. Mr. Berner, the peerless orator, who is also democratic nominee for State Senator in the Bibb dis trict, has many admirers here. Mr. Berner, like Judge Crisp, has addressed Floyd county audiences before, and has won his way into the confidence and esteem of our people. Bob Berner is one of Georgia’s most gifted sons and has the dis tinc'ion just now of having been attacked on th<» s’ump by Hon. Seaborn Wright. Mr. Berner's de fense will be as complete as it is elcquent—Mark that prediction. After Mr. Bener's speech, the audience will be treated to one of those gems of stump oratcry for which “Our John,” the able and fearless Ma idox, has created such an enviable reputation. The great audience who will assemble lo hear these gifted orators discuss, from a democratic stinl point, the issues of the hour, will be richly repaid for their trouble— and you can mark that prediction. Mr. Crisp and Mr. Berner, ac by Mr. Chas.F. Crisp •Jr., will arrive in the city over the Sothern at 5:30 p. in. Tues day . They will be met at the depot 1 y a committee, headed by on. Moses R.

While Alliancemen Were Above "Rid ing The Goat" In Rome Tribune, May Bth '92, The Tattler tells this tale: “I happened to be at Ca’houn last Tuesday when Seaborn Wright made his famous speech to the democrats of Gordon county. I had never before heard him in a political speech and was glad of the opportunity. He was in splendid voice and fine health. The crowd was large and enthusiastic. The occa sion gave excellent scope for argu ment and eloquence, and there seemed to be a happy blending of the man and the opportunity. In his personal appeaaance Sea born Wright is a peculiarly at tractive man. His slender figure and boyish face, ringing voice and black eyes fascinate the audience. He uses no manuscript or notes in speaking, but with erect figure and smiling lace goes right into the heart and sympathies of his hearers. Just beside me in the au dience sat a dignified young Pres byterian minister, who at first gave calm but earnest attention to the speaker, but as the speech pro gressed I noticed that he gave way to applau-e. S-*ab began to warm up and his voice caught that bu gle-blast ring that you Romans all know so well, and he began to soar on flights of eloquence. The preach er's face flusheda nd paled, and he leaned far over towards the speak er as if trying to drink in every thought. Seab swung off into graphic and vivid descriptive sen tences. and there came to his face that flush and glow of conscious power that s-ays an audience at its will, and with magic touch he moved every bearer. Almost before I realized what had happened the young preacher raised the yell and led the applause. I thought it was a splendid com pliment to any speaker that * Presbyterian minister of gravity and dignity should be so moved by a political speech that he would forget himself and raise the rebel yell. And I found »oo that I was sharing in the enthusiasm and rais ing a mighty racket myself. I had never been accustom to associate Seab Wright and sound democracy in mv mind together, and for that reason, perhaps, I was ail the more delighted with his ispeech, for he gave it to us straight from the shoulder, and warned the people, with a'l the earnestness of his soul, against the danger of di vision ard discord in the South. The cry at Calhoun was Hur rah for Seab Wright and sound democrucy.” “The Tattler.” My little boy 2 years of age, was taken very ill with blaody flux. I was advised to use Chamberlain s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and luckily procured part of a bottle. I carefully read the directions and gave it accordingly. He was very low, but slowly and gurely he began to improve, gradu ally recovered and is now as stout and strong as ever. I feel sure it saved his life. I never can prane the Remedy half its worth. I am orry every one in the world does not know how good it is, as I do Mrs. Lina S. Hinton, Grahams ville, Marion Co., Florida. For sale by Lowry Bros., Druggist, Rome. ROME GEORGIA, TUESDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER I 1896 WITHOUT A FIGHT New York Renublicans Cant Carry New York AND WITH A HARD FIGHT They have But The Slimmest of Slim Chances, New tea ture Injected into The Missouri Campaign tVa-hington, Sept. I—ls the re publicans carry New York state they will have to fight for it. It is said today that the demo cratic national committee will en ter the Empire State with all i's forces.

I. —Tne even ing Journal, the leading labor and p >pulist daily in the southwest, says this morning: “A new factor has appeared itr the fight. The proposition of a di vision of electors between the pop ulists and democrats of Missouri, has been banging fire because of a failure on the part of Chairman Rossel eandCook to agreeupon the terms of a fusion on the s'ate ca: - didates. Chairman M F. Dowd, of the state silver committee, who is also national committeeman for Mis souri, said last night: “I am tired of waiting for the democrats and populists to fix up an electoral ticket. The silver par ty of this state will certify the full state republican ticket in order that silver republicans may have every facility foi voting for Bryan The certificate must be presented within fi rfy days. I want the 42,- 000 populists in Missouri to be given a chance to have their votes counted for Bryan. The populists want four electors and the silver party on**. This matter must be settled within a week or I shall take it before the national com mittees. After the democrat and populists may do as they like about their state tickets, but the electors must be placed right away.” Two Daus More The date for the Field Day draws nigh.
