NJ. g. Corbett to Run for Senator and
E. G. Hodges for Representative.
HoMERvILLE, GA, July 8.-The long,
looked for third party meeting came off to-
day at the court house. 1t was not as large
as some of the leaders thought it would be-
as not more than sixty Of that party at
tended. The meeting was called to order
by II. A. Mattox, chairman. After APP
pointing a committee to select suitable can
didates for senator and representative, L.
C. Mattox was called to the stand to address
the meeting. He said he felt cramped, as he
expected other speakers and did not feel
prepared to address the party. However,
he proceeded on the same line of all the
third party leaders, continued abuse of the
Democratic party, charging it with all the
hard times and the low price of cotton. The
speaker denounced all democratic papers
and urged his hearers not to read them, for
they contained nothing but lies. He insisted
that they take and read and believe the
third party papers. He said further that
they bad to get their business published In
Atlanta, for the democratic papers would
not publish anything relating to them,
but for them not to feel dis
couraged, for the time was not
lished in Waycross which would give the
third party Justice He urged the party
to stick together, for they would disband in
November if defeated never 10 unite any
more. Then getting on the warpath he
denounced Gov. Northen in round terms,
saying that he knew what he said about
Col. Post and his wife was false aud had
been proved 50 by many others in sym
patty with the third party. He Continued
80 long along this line that the chairman
requested him to discontinue as the eom-
mittee was waiting to make its report.
NJ s. Corbett was announced for senator
and E. c. Hodges for representative. After
the report had been received the chairman
invited the crowd to march down to the
grove on Railroad street and partake of a
farmers dinner. The table was beautifully
supplied and groaned under the best which
Clinch afforded.
