sion of Time.
RoME, GA. Sept. 15,-Neither John B.
Gordon nor Hon. Joe James met the Texas
cyclone in Rome to-day, and the result was
that Cyclone Davis stood before an audi
enoe Of about 900 men, mostly third party
followers, and blew things around pretty
much to suit himself. The reason why
neither Gen. Gordon nor Mr.. James showed
up was because the committee Of the Peo-
Piles party would not consent to a division
Of time.
1t was great day for the followers Of
Weaver. They shouted and whosped for
two hours as Mr.. Davis scored his heavy
blows" against democracy and republican,
ism alike. Davis is a powerful stump
speaker. Even his opponents here to-day
admit that much. His speech was applauded
by the enthusiastic audience vociferously.
He began by stating that the doctrines Of
Jefferson were those of his party. He
bowed in alteration at the feet of Jefferson,
Madison and Lincoln. He loved
THE OLD PARTIES OF THE PAST.
There was no difference between the old
parties to-day. They were the spurious
outgrowth Of two great parties now dead.
Mr.. Davis then dwelt at length on the
financial and land planks Of the Peoples
party. new idea advanced by the
speaker-and one that ticklsd the demo-
Gratis immensely, is this: Let the govern
ment loan US money at per cent. and take
a mortgage onsour farms, +" said the orator,
land when the mortgage is fore closed the
land will belong to the government and
then we will become squatters on the land
mortgaged."
Mr.. Davis then paid his respects to Mr..
Cleveland. and said that Cleveland had We
toed a bill to loan $l0,0 900 to the starving
people of Texas and in the next breath
signed bill appropriating $4,000 for an
exposition in New Orleans.
WANTED TO HEAR ABOUT WEAVER.
"Tell US about old Weaver" said a voice
from the audience HE fought like hero |
IN the late war;" retorted Davis, but |

speech was closed with hurrah |
and flourish and every one agrees that
Davis deserves the title of ''cyclone." The

meeting, but are somewhat alarmed at the

BLACK AND WATSON

| Meet In Joint Debate at Thomson.
Very Orderly and Well Behaved.
| AUGUSTA, GA, Sept. 15.-The last Of the
debates between Black and Watson thus
| far scheduled occurred to-day at Thomson,
the home of the third party leader. 1t was
the most orderly and best behaved crowd
which has yet faced the speakers The
watch word mad gone out 20 the democrats
| 20 give Mr.. Watson an attentive bearing In
| his opening speech, and thus shame the
third partyites to accord Mr.. Black the
same. II was carried out with admirable
results. The crowd was between 2,500 and
5000, and was estimated as democratic
variously from two-thirds up. The negroes
present were enthusiastic for Black three
to one. The meeting Is declared
by parties present at all the debates to have
been the very Black-est meeting Of them
all. The reception given Maj Black was
enthusiastic and demonstratlve. Black
meeting been at Blacks home in-
stead of Watson's 1t could not have
been more enthusiastic for democracy's
standard-bearer There were
NO SENSATIONAL FEATURES
in the debate. Mr.. Watson spent half his
time reading from Johnson's life Of Stephens
parallel Ia that Of the oommoner, who be-
longed first to one party and then another
and always "toted his own skillet indie
pendent OF party dictatiop. He also said
the issue In the campaign was not whether
he had proven q traitor 20 tie Democratic
party, but whether the people would sus-
tain the platform of democracy OF the Peo-
pies party. He also replied TO the charge
against him in connection with the negro
Bradwelrs claim. and said ii had already
been paid and he opposed Its payment the
second time.
Maj. Black devoted his time to Watsons
record and the third party platform, aud
exposed the weak places In both in a merci-
less and convincing manner, which was
loudly applauded.
HOW MUCH MONEY TO BE ISSUED.
He called on Mr.. Watson to answer in his
concluding speech how much money the
government would have TO issue TO carry
out the railroad, telegraph and other
paternal planks of the third party platform,
and how much he would favor the govern
ment issuing.
Mr.. Watson simply said, "as much as the
government can safely issue,n without say
ing how this was to be determined, or how
far short it would fall of carrying out the
third party schemes. Mr.. Watson'a follow
ers cheered him, as usual, but they, as well
as Watson. felt their helpless minority.
The democrats are enthusiastic tonight
Mr.. Watson's lieutenant, Mel Branch OF
Columbia, got into trouble again to-day and
was pummeled by Capt. William Batoheler
of Bel Air, when returning on the trail
from the speaking.
