III accordance with previous notice, q
large meeting Of the Pendleton Democratic
Club assembled in Farmers Hall on last
saturday afternoon, and after enjoying sew
eral lively and stimulating pieces Of music
rom the patriotic Pendleton Cornet Band,
practicing, and will be ready to enter the
campaign for the Democracy with all the
vim and enthusiasm that they did in '76 J
our efficient President, Mr.. J. B. Sjtton.
called the Club to order, and opened the
roll Tor the reception OF the names of new
members. After taking down all the neN
names, we found our Club to number I26
members
the question Of reorganizing was then
put before the Club and after q short dc.
bate it was thought best TO postpone the
reorganization of the Club. At this point
member expressed the opinion that in
accordance with our experience at Sandy
Springs it would be well to get up q Green
back speaker on the occasion of the reor-
ganization of tie Club, rs they undoubtedly
did good service for the Democracy on such
occasions.
The Hon. A. G. McCurry, of Georgia,
being present on visit in our midst, the
Club passed resolution inviting MIN to
address the meeting, which he did In ring
ing speech, with Impressive manner. that
did credit to the speaker and to his State.
Hartwell ought to be proud of her young
son and Of his abilities. Col. McCurry
mentioned the coalition party in his State
rs being in very much the same position as
the Greenback party. in South Carolina,
the Democratic ranks, by which they hoped
70 Mahonize the States, and ride into office
themselves at the sacrifice of good govern-
ment. He reminded us Of the victory we
won in '76, which set the gallant old Pal
metto state back into the proud position
she occupied before the yultures of Radical
misrule lowered over and smothered our
good people. He advised that we stand
together as we did in &c, and choose such
leaders as we then had, and if this was
Done victory would be ours. at this point
the house came down with applause, and
we think forcibly. impressed all present
with the fact that the spirit and enthusiasm
prove IN the coming campaign to be equal
70 any and all opposition to good govern
mcnt, let it originate from Greenbackism or
its colleague, Republicanism.
Col. X. w. Simpson then took the floor,
and as usual made a fine and instructive
speech. In the beginning he said that he
regretted very much that the Grcenback
speaker, mr. Russell,) who was expected,
was not present. He assured the audience
that there was nothing that afforded him
more pleasure at present than to answer or
refute all of the ridiculous accusations
against the last Legislature and the Demo-
cratic party in general way by the Green
back speakers. As the Greenback speaker
was not present to make his complaints, he
would not insult the dignity Of an inteli-
gent audience by rehearsing such infamous
statements as was made at Sandy Springs
by this party's leader in this county. Col
Simpson also said that it had been arranged
to follow these Greenback speakers every
where they went 1--WE presume in the SAME
way their colleagues, the Radicals, were
followed in '7S) all over the county. This
was pleasant announcement, as the boys
seemed to anticipate fun in the future
Pendleton is solid for the Democracy.
