Gus notice Hon. j. r. Robins, representa-
tive Of the third party In the Eighth dis
trict, delivered an address here to-day.
He was met by Hon. Ben E. Russell, the
democratic chief of Decatur, who is now
candidate for the nomination before the
democrats Of the Second district. The de-
bate was opened by Mr.. Robins in a mild
manner, who spoke for an hour and twenty
minutes. He endeavored to show just
cause for the existence and formulation OF
third party, repeatedly referring TO the de-
pressed financial condition Of the people
and advocating the sub-treasurY scheme as
the most practical manner to obtain relief
At the conclusion of his speech Hon. Ben
E. Russell was introduced by W. l.. Ken
non, the president of the alliance OF this
district, and amid ringing applause took the
stand. Mr.. Russell opened his speech by
referring TO the dark days Of reconstruc-
tton and showing In indisputable language
that democracy, and true democracy alone,
had saved the country. He referred TO the
sub-treasury bill as a fallacy and the rail-
road bill as farce. Mr. Russell occupied
the stand for an hour and half, and while
he handled the third party tenderly it hit
severely. He was repeatedly cheered TO the
echo during his discourse. and retired amid
enthusiastic applause and q shower Of how-
ers.
Mr.. Robins had the concluding speech.
He said that if all the third party men had
TO debate with men Of Mr. RuSselrs caliber
that he did not think the now party would
live long. His concluding speech was little
less than an indorsem ent Of oil Mr.. Russell
said.
1t is generally conceded that Mr.. Russell
made many converts here to-day and some
even said that If Mr.. Russell could speak
with Mr.. Robins few times more that
he would make a convert of him. The
meeting was harmonious and everything
passed off pleasantly.
Notwithstanding it was a third party
meeting it is acknowledged a democratic
success.

no uncertain tones. Mr. Turner has grown
up and waxed strong among u.s. We have

statesman, and this section is for him
against the world.

gubernatorial convention, and they were
instructed for Gov. Northen.

and elected delegates to the gubernatorlal,
district and national conventions, and also
elected county executive committee. In
addition to this routine business the third

both feet for his attack on G. g. Post and
his wife. L. p. Barnes, an Atlanta law
yer, introduced the resolutions censuring
Gov. Northen, which, as adopted, were as
follows:
WHEREAS, w. ]. Northen, governor OF
Georgia, in a speech a few days ago saw fit to
attack lady OF the commonwealth for her
political and religious opinions, denouncing her
in severe and caustic language, emanating
from the chief executive of the state whilst he
was seeking a renOmination; and,
WHEREAS, The governor in having made this
wanton and unwarranted attack upon the laiy,|
In question for deSecratlng the Sabbath is dis
courteous to the commonwealth and calculated
to reflect upon the chivary of the south.
Res diced, therefore, That in convention as
sembled we condemn the attack sthus made and
that It stamps the governor as not in keeping
with the spirit Of the age in which we live.
