ANOTHER CLUB FORMED
TO BOOST HILL AND FIGHT THE
THIRD PARTY.

of the New Organization.
The Fourth District Democratic Club
was organized last night with about $50
members at the Workiugmen's Benevolent
Association hall, Bay and Absroorn streets.
The club is to be a permanent political
organization TO take part il all contests,
municipal, county, state ana national. It's
principal object at present, however, Is TO
work in the interests Of Hill for the presi-
dency and to secure, II possible, Hill dele'
gates to the state convention and to have
the state delegation to the Chicago conven-
ton instructed likewise. The club also
proposes to make a vigorous fight against
the third party The following officers
were elected:
President-Johu Rourke.
Vice President-Samuel j. Reynolds.
Secretsry-Harr Willink.
Treasurer-Dr. A. B. Simmons.
Sergesntrat- Arms-John Kelly.
An executive committee Of twenty-five
will be appointed by the president during
the week.
After the club had been organized an
hour and half was taken up in speeches
A. S. Way, Esq, made ringing democratic
speech. He said he was glad to see the
voters Of the Fourth district gathering TO-
gether in organization to fight the battles
Of the democracy. The crisis Of the party
Of Jefferson and other patriots Is now
threatened in Georgia, he said, by that mis-
shapen offspring called the third party and
the old-time foe, the Republican party. 1t
is Che duty Of every democrat he said, to
throw his full support to his party at this
time when it is menaced by the influences
scattered through the state by the
eulissaries Of republicanism. The country
people have been deluded until democracy
is actually threatened with disruption and
disintegration in the Empire state, which
has heretofore been known as one Of the
stanohest supporters Of the party Of the
people.
HIS IDEAS OF THE PRESIDENCY.
Getting down to the presidential question,
Mr.. Way intr duced it by q word picture
of the high dignity Of the Office. which, he
said 10 the most exalted in the world, and
beside which the gilded thrones Of the old
countries are the merest glittering baubles,
Indicative only of power sustained by brute
force and the trampling under foot Of the
voice and will of the people.
I'm looking about for man to admins
ter the duties OF that office" said Mr.. Way,
I'VE should choose a man not only fitted
with all the habiliments of intellectually,
but one who is not afraid to stand up and
say Il am democrat
AT this point the crowd, which was thor.
oughly Hill one, turned itself loose aud
cheered at great rate for several minutes.
I'VE want q man" continued MIR. Way,
who doesn't believe in debating to the
Democratic party, but who is willing to let
his party dictate to him; man who is
intrepid in his utterauces and stand and be-
lieves in using the machinery of his party
20 carry it TO success; a man who doesn't be-
lieve in keeping his enemies in Office. That

self q friend Of the south when she needed
friends, and the southern people should show
him their gratitude now. Mr.. Cleveland is
man of many admirable qualities, but
when he had the presidency in the palm of
his hand, against the advice of his cabinet
and friends he sat down and wrote letter
which defeated bis party A man who
would do such thing is not the man who
should again be honored by his party.
LAWYER MORGAN EXroLs TAMMANY.
Thomas S. Morgan, Esq, Jr.. was the
next speaker. His speech was delivered
under difficulties. as & crowd of youngsters
in the rear of the hall repeatedly tried to
interrupt him with shouts and Kisses. They
yelled at him shut mouth catches no flies"
referring to his speech for the defense of
Kavanaugh. The gang was evidently sent
10 the hail to interrupt Mr.. Morgan. One
of them, known as "Spit~fire,n " hen asked
70 NeSists SnOheu MS hudECulSLC LeOuencles
by shouting that he was as good as ode peple
that had on white collars and cuffs" Finally
the crowd became so unruly that the police
had to be called in to keep order.
Mr.. Morgan spoke eloquently for fifteen
minutes. His speech was out-and-out
Hill without any third party attachments.
ut is charged by some people," said Mr..
Morgan, that Hill is unworthy to be Pres
ident because he is a politician. For
years he has had the unqualified
approval Of this democracy Of New
York, and any one who charges
him with corruption then must charge the
Democratic party with corruption. Others
say that because Hill is Tammany Halls
choice and for that reason he should be re-
pudiated by the balance OF the party. Has
the south forgot Tammany Halls servicel
When she was in the throes Of reconstruct
ton, bowed down with the weight of her
woes and trampled upon by the republican
horde, was it not Tammany which came TO
the rescue and compelled the Republican
party TO give the people their constitutional
rights?
If IT HADN'T BEEN FOR TAMMAEY.
"Were it not for Tammany,n continued
Mr.. Morgan, "the fields OF the south to-day
would be un Tiled our h0rbors would have
never again seen the white sails of com
meTce, the waters would be unrippled by
oars and our temples would be voiceless
save with tie sobbings of downtrodien
and despised people. That Hill is the choice
of Tanmsny ought to be ono of the best
recommendations that he could have to the
southern people. When she cried out in
her woe the great New York democratic
organization was the rescuer, and, again,
when the republicans attempted 10
again place upon US the igoomiuy
of bayonet rule by the infamous force bill
the voices of Tammany Hall and Hill were
the ones which sounded out with clarion
tones against it while others now opposing
Hin were silent.n
The young attorneys speech was loudly
applsuded, aud when hs took his seat he
was treated to an ovation lasting several
minutes.
Hon. Gazaway Hertridge said be is one Of
those who prefers Hill and victory to Cleve-
land and defeat. No matter whether Cleve-
land is supposed to be the superior of any
one morally OF mentally, it is the interest OF
the party, he believes, which should be con-
sidered above any man. Sweeping charges
have been made against Hill. Mr.. Hartridge
said, but he has yet to hear OF one definite
fact of his uuscrupulousness or iniQuity.
MIR. Hartridge said Cleveland's candidacy
reminds him of the Irishman who, when
iasked what was in the barrel be vas carry
ng said be didn't exactly know because one
end was stamped Rye Whiskeyn and the
other Pat Duffy One end of it bears the
name "Grover Cleveland" and the other
"Ben Harrison" Cleveland's supporters,
said Mr.. Hartridge, are people who want to
