criticisms, We should have been ssIeglousy de-

Wing statements His speech was interesting and
attractive, and the views which he presented on the
great questions before the country were ioreble
and striking la sy lie and manner, too, be was not
inferior TO many who claim distinction 10 The Wing
ranks and though not polished scholar, De used no
expression which could justify the silly attempts
made by Wing writers and editors 10 ridicue has
grammar. Ii was a good Democratic speech and
which calculated TO add To the reputation of
its author. From that specimen have no Tears OF
the result 10 any encounter which may take place,
either with the Wing elector of this district, OF any
other Wing orator.
The dinner hour had now arrived, and the Con-
yenton adjourned to parake Of the yiands prepared
BY the berality OF our fellow citizens OF Hall The
tables had been arranged, we understand 10 accom-
modate $500 persons; and although many did not
partske al all they were far more than filled.
After dinner, the stand was first occupied by
JAMES JACKSON, Esq, of Walton, in Of his hap
plest efforts. This young gentleman is rapidly ae-
quiring enviabIe reputation among our pubic
speakers To mind highly cultivated, he adds
great political research capacity 10 present his
views in a clear and striking manner; copious-
ness OF language and elegance Of manner, which
excite universal admiration. His efficient iabors
during the present struggle worthy Of all praise
and will tell, doubt not at the bslIotbox ~ DC
tober and November
Hon. Howell Cobb, our candidate for Congress,
next came forward and was greeted by the warm and
enthusiastic applause Of the assembled multitude.
1t is unnecessary for US TO comment upon his elo-
quent and able effort further than to say that it
tanned his well deserved reputation sound poll
tician and successful debater.
Hon. Walter Il. Colqutt closed the days discus
sion, in speech OF some two hours length. All
have heard OF the unrivalled powers Of our dstin-
gushed Senator, and none who listened TO him on
that occasion, will hesitate to concur in the general
sentiment, that in all those qualities which make up
popular orator, he is unsurpassed. he touched
upon most Of the topics now sgitatng the public
mind, and upon each he shed new light. All the ar
tiIlery Of political warareargument, history, logi
cal demonstration, wit and ridicue--were brought
forciby to bear, and altogether made up speech
which will long be remembered by the thousands who
heard il delivered.
At night the Court house was again filed, and the
audience were entertained with speeches from Mr..
Randall, promising young Democrat of Troup
county, and William Mckinley, Esq of Ogleihorpe.
The latter gentleman is well known as polished and
interesting speaker and those who witnessed the APP
plause continually bestowed upon him, felt that his
talents were duly appreciated by the concourse be-
fore him.
Letters from Hon. GEORGE M. TRoUP, and other
gentlemen who had been invited to attend the Con-
vention, then read, and the meeting Adjourned,
sine die.
Much good, we doubt not will grow out Of this
great gathering of the Democracy. New zeal has
been infused into the bosoms of friends-they
armed with new arguments against their opponents
they confirmed in their hopes OF triumph in the
District in the State, and in the Union; and they
have gone home, each determined TO make renewed
exertions, and to lend his aid in helping forward the
good cause. We trust those efforts will not be re-
laxed until COBB elected by 1900 majority in this
District, and until the vote Of Georgia is given TO
those able and worthy Democrats, POLK and Dali
LAS, for President and Vice President of the United
States.
