thusiastic crowds. They were voters who
were anxious TO hear the political ques-
tons discussed. They were willing ia
near all sides and anxious for all informa
ton that would direct vote in the right
direction. The attendance again showed
the inability of any secret organization
from Georgia to keep voters away from
meetings and in ignorance of everything
but the howl of political alarmists and
Office seekers.
AT VALLEY CENTER.

c. Boyle was made chairman of the meet
ing, and after stating the object for which
the audience had assembled, Mr.. w. l..
Sturdevant was introduced as the first
speaker of the evening. Mr.. Sturdevant
spoke for one hour and thirty minutes and
during the entire time held the closest at
tention Of his audience. He showed con-
clusively that the present depression in
business could not be attributed to legisla-
ton but was largely due to voluntary
recklessness in business habits and specu-
lation, which law could not prevent The
speaker next directed his attention to the
currency and silver legislation and showed
the falsehood of the charges made
by the Alliance orators that the
Republican party had contracted
the currency by hostile legislation. He
showed that the currency had continually
increased under Republican rule and that
while the population of the country had
only increased SO per cent. in y years the
currency had increased so per cent. in the
same time and that under the present sill
yer bill the currency would increase at the
rate of 100000 600 per annum. The candi-
dates on the Republican ticket were sever
ally discussed AMI high tribute paid to
their merit and fitness. The speech was
received with rounds of applause.
Judge Museller was next intro
duced and spoke for one hour and
a quarter, during which time he discussed
the fallacies of the Alliance claims and the
impossibility of the political success of a
secret organization. He showed that
systematic attempt was being made on the
part of the southern brigaders to procure
the defeat of Senator ingalls, and exhorted
the Republican members of the Alliance
to not be led into the trap. The speaker
discussed the merits of the tariff bill and
showed its superiority over the Mills bill
Of the Democratic congress. This was fol-
lowed by a review of the legislation
Of the Republican party both state and ma
jiOnal, in which he demonstrated from
the second that not a single act had been
passed hostile to the laboring and agri-
cultural interests, but that many had been !
