Gainesville correspondence Macon Tele-
graph: Ohe Of our shoe manufacturers has
received a communication from the Repub-
lican League of the Unite States. 1t states
that the league was organized In December
last, and that it now )ntalnS more than
6.00O lodges, with a mem ership Of 100000,
thing unprecedenie Ell in any polite
party. There was also list of those, with
the amounts, who had contributed t. this
fund. The letter reads: If you believe
in the Mills tariff bill, watch has just passed
the democratic House of Representatives,
throw this letter in your waste basket. If,
ON TIE contrary you realize that the inter
ests OF the manufacturer and the laborer
are with the party which stands for protec-
ton to hone industries, | ask you to CO.
operate with the Republican League of the
United States. Unless great effort is made
i'll the next three months there j. danger
that Grover Cleveland will be reelected
and with HIM a congress that will have no
further reason to di'guise its real intentions,
and tha tariff bill ii go ten times as far as
prude &c permitted the democrats to go in
the Mills bill We prOpoSe
to take extraordinary precautions to pre-
vent fraudulent colonization and voting In
New Y ork, New Jersey, Connecticut and
lndiana (Which are favorably sitGate1 for
democratic reform" movcments), and, in
fact, to use every legitimate means t. pr
vent the continuation in power of the party
that seeks to throw down the banne OF pro-
lection. 4 All we ask Of you
is small contribution. This was ,igned
by James 2. Foster, president. These are
some extracts. Georgia is not put down as
having a single lodge of this order. With
all Of our factories and machine shops we
have none to work for Harrison and Nor
ton. Here In Gainesville we have a cotton
factory, three shoe factories, one match
factory and two tanneries, and they employ
quite a number of men, but we don't think
we can help this wonderful league.
