Fellow .ci,izens of Georgia, (sunrar NE to speak
plainly TO you. FOR they words OF truth an 80
berness which u,tet) it is yous apathy aud that Of
our Wing brethren throughout the Union which
has neTved the arms OF our opponen,s is your
dependence which has presented the sieat obstacle
TO our success. admit that there is in your stua'
ton much 10 discourage. The inspiring hope, the
confident expectation, which were awakened by the
elevation of the pato; Harrison, were blishted by
hts untmely death. You looked in the successor
10 his station for exhibition Of the manly virtues
and cordial support OF the cherished principles OF
the departed Chief. Your expectations have no,
been rcalxed-your confidence has been violated
But ponder, pray you, tho words which follow.
You have turned IN disgust from conduct 81 Tor
esn 10 your own honorable feelings, and by decin-
ing to miuge in what has seemed to YOU to I've an
ins orous strife. you have stenc'heasd your oppo
nents, and paralyxed tho efforts OF your RePFesen,
tatives. While under the Influence OF this fatal
apathy, you stood alooi hom the polls aud suffered
successive elections to be carried by your ancient
foes, each one was hailed os their triumph, and as
your defeat-as the evidence Of their strength, anu
OF your weakness. A disciplined minority in the
halls Of Congress united more cosoly-Rnd that
Onc man who stands between you and the accom-
plishment of your wishes, whose single voice can
defeat any measure however essential to your pros
perity. miStook the consequences OF your disgust,
Tor the evidences of your appreciation OF his most
extraordinary course. Undeceiye him. Undeeeive
your ancient foes!
Nothing is requisite but awakened energy, and
united action. The grant Harrison is no more.
But the same glorious Wing party, who rushed
TO victory under his spotess standard, still live.
in all its pristine vigor-n als ply steal and moral
power. Let those who then rallied under that
standard, now arise IN their strength. Wings
o. 1910, once moe TO the rescue! Prove that
TO the impetuous vaor which snatches victory
in the hour OF bat lie, you add the iudomiabe
courage which pursues and grasPs 1t amid pro.
tractcd warfare, IL is thus not permitted 10
you to stake your fortunes upon single cast
to win the prize for which you will contend 10y
single blow. Prove then, that with a courage as
untirng it is ardent, you can conquer IN detail
the obstacles which impede tho accomplishment OF
your wishes, Let each successive election nod you
\, the polls, animated by thu same spirit which
swelled ia your tosoms in the struggle OF $50!
Speak through the ballot.boX! Speak IN language
respectful but h.m-ss freemcn mindful alike II
your constitutional rights and duties. Speak IN
me mortal and TeuonStrance, TO the assembled Ike
representatives. OF the nat onto that adventurous
man who holds your fortunes IN his grasp; that he
may unclu,ch IT, aud leave you to the enjoyment
Of your constitutional rights and privileges, and the
Astounding prosperity which wall follow IN lis tram
