ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 24.-DeGive's opera
house was flied tonight with people who
assembled to see the third party open their
campaign. Ia the audience were all classes

curiosity. The NEWS correspondent noticed
men present who had all shades of views ON
prohibition, but very few of them were In
sympathy with Sam Small's party.
j. o. Perkins, tor several years repuo-
lican, presided, and introduced the speak
ers. About thirty men sat on the stage,
and In the lot not one prominent citizen
was to be found.
A. A. Murphy, of GAINESVILLE, was first
introduced, and he so worried the crowd,
who had come to hear Sam Small, that a
great many left before he got through.
sMALL's SPEECH.
Sam Small made one of his characteristic
speeches in which he heaped his usual
amount of abuse upon the Democratic
party. He denounced the nominees IN EN-
phatic terms, as was to be expected, and
appealed to everybody to support him for
senator and also to vote for the third
party candidate for the legislature. He
INDUCED in his usual amount OF wit, and
hit the NJ. A. B. society his usual heavy
blows. After he finished the crowd emerged
from the opera house feeling as well repaid
as If they had been to a free circus.
Mr.. Small goes to Cobb county to speak
tomorrow, and says he will carry it by 800
majority. over his opponents.
Those who know, though, say that Cobb
will not be led off into Mr.. Smalls scheme
of republcaniZing the district.
