VOICE OF THE ALLIANCE.
The voice from the northwest asks the
farmers of Georgia to abandon the Demo-
cratic party, and they promise to abandon
the Republican party. The voice is Jacobs
voice, but are you sure the hand is not

not even that chance for the demo-
Gratis who join that section. When
the democrats are getting into power
the voice from the wilderness
calls out to combine. Unless the people
doubt the good intenti )ns of the Democrat
ic party there is no use to leave it. It has
had no power ito do anything in national
affairs. 1t has been tried in Georgia and
not found waiting. He didn't believe the
farmers of Georgia would obey the
voice from the northwest. In regard TO

measures. Any time in twenty years would
have been better time to start third
party than now. Now that the psrty was
in position to redeem its promises, some
people proposed TO desert it.
BIRTH OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
The Republican party had its birth in an
effort to abandon the constitution and good
laws could not be expected of IT, Try the
experiment Of 1850 to 1850, repeal the laws
violating democratic principles. All the
money drained from the pockets of the
people went north and west. Make laws to
leave it in our pockets. He thought it
so inconsistent to talk of a third party. The

A third party is now suicidal, Just on the
eve Of victory. If nothing happens In 1892
the democrats will have the House, Senate
aud President. Then il .the party fails Of
its duty desert It, The House itself can do
nothing. He hoped whereSSr else the demo-
cracy had been abandoned 1t would not be
in Georgia. Heretofore shS could always
be counted on. Our peopis think for them
selves and don't do anything blindly.
Unity meant victory and victory meant
liberty for the people.
THE YOUNG LAWYERS HEARD.
W. p. Hill, a young lawyer of Atlanta
and ex-president of the league spoke next
The most notable incident of Mr. Hills
speech was a direct reference to ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland, evidently done to
test the Cleveland sentiment. OF
course Hthere was some applause, but Ger
tainly not what he expected. Mr.. Hill
paid his respects ito that old femele evan
gelist from Kansas and to the sub.treas-
ury."
Hooper Alexander, another young law
yer, came next. 1.-THE third party and the
Republican party alike are enemies, y said
he, land he who oounsels snd consorts with
Jhsm is not of us, but against usn This
was applauded, as was another reference to
Cleveland. He alluded to the Free silver
craze" and ''the alliance nonsenss.n

If l could, a prejudice that exists now
between the cities and the country. Then
from the two last speeches l see you are in
darkness. [Applause. Whether or not il
comes from ignorance or prejudice know
not.n
"Amen Amenl" shouted old man Car
michael of Cowetl, and there was storm
Of laughter and applause
Col. Livingston intimated that free dis
cussion of democratic principles would GER
tainly be beneficial TO the younger men and
perhaps to che old men.
Amen again." shouted Brother Car
michael in an alliance ecstasy.
There are two fundamental principles in
the democratic platform-equal rights to
all and special privileges to none, and local
self-government. His next idea was to
bring out the importance of more money
This was in reply to some remarks in the
preceding speech which placed the currency
as secondary to the tariff issue in the demo-
cratic faith.
DANGER OF A ROW.
"We need more money" said he, "every

in the crowd.
That's right, that's right" was the
amen from the audience, and it looked for a
few secouds as il the colonel would not be
allowed to proceed.
President Slaton appealed to the crowd to
keep quiet and to treat Col. Livingston
with respect.
Then the colonel went into an exceedingly
tedious discussion OF the currency and the
tariff. 1t was his alliance speech.

the country with the anecdoie and
the hurrah left out. Here" said Col Liv-
lngston. picking up printed copy of the
national democratic platform, ''is what

feet [applausel, and as long as that remains
the democratic faith, and as long as the
Democratic party puts up men that are
capable and honest, we, the alliance,
will stand by that faith and vote
for these men, but that is the platform thnt
Cleveland was elected on, and yet he vetoes
a bill that was its very spirit and embodi-
ment, and he violated every principle in
that platform" This statement was hissed.
HIS HONESTY ADMITTED.
II know Cleveland is honest. [Applause. ]
He is so honest that il he don't like plank
in your platform he will bore a hole in it
with two-inch auger." Then the colonel
was Kissed again. He next took up
the democratic platform, declaring it
identical with the advanced principles. Col.
Livingston got Off one or two good things
of personal nature on the young speakers
that had preceded and this latter part of
hts speech was generally well received.
Hon. Hoke Smith came next. He handled
Col, Livingston without gloves and was
cheered to the echo
The last speaker was Hon. Clark Howell.
1t was a conciliatory spesch, Of course, and
is good one
