BE SKINS WEAVER ALIVE.
Mr.. Ham then took up Weaver and
skined him. II the pension plank was not in
the party It was In Weaver. Weaver is
afflicted With what Dom Piatt calls the bad
breaking OF the mouth. Weaver was always
running for something. He had said lot
Of things and had got q record. He illus
trated Weaver with a parrot which, safe
upon Its perch, was In the habit OF setting
the dog on. The dog would rush around
and find nothing. One day the parrot was
on the ground and began 20 cry: "Sick
him sick himw Again the dog could find
nothing, when he turned upon the parrot
and tore it nearly 20 pieces. The parrot,
once more upon its perch, communed with
himself thus; "You always did talk too
dern much with your mouth anyway"
WEAVER TALKED TOO MUCH.
Weaver has always talked too much
with his mouth aud still does so. He Is
coming 70 Georgia TO tell you people how
to vote. You amt agoing 10 do It,
Mr.. Ham gives Viewers record, quoting
freely from his speeches. He proved by
Weaver that all the things the third party
charges the Democratic party with are
false. The Atlanta third party convention
had only forty-one counties out OF lS' repre-
sented. MIRA Lease was tougher than any
woman reared in Georgia. You could spls
board with her face. Her nose was
| like an anteater and her voice was
| like a 'catamount, and her race
| was rank poison TO the naked eye. OI
her kind and long-halred men was the
Omaha convention God forbid the klnd OF
| womsnis rights that make women like her.
Mr.. Ham told many more apt anecdotes ana
said many fine and telling things. bis
speech received frequent and uproarlous
applause, He said the democrats would
carry Georgia by 90. 900 majority ana every
candidate would be elected. The old demo-
cratic lion was not asleep, but was alive
and awake, and in next November he will

THIRD PARTY SKUNK
and there would be nothing left OF him ex-
cept a greasy spot in the desert and little
stink.
COL. LIVINGSTON ON THE STAND.
J. H. Murrill, president of the Thomas
County Democratic Club, then introduced
Col Leonidas f. Livingston as the man
most hated by the third party, and as a man
who had made in congress a national repu-
tstion. Col. Livingston said: God bless
the men Of Dixie. God bless the land of
Dixie, and God bless the woman of Dixie.
| want you, third party people, to ask me
questions. will not treat you mean, but
will be fair with you. The great prin-
ciple of our institutions is local self
government. All parties should be
judged by their principles, leaders and
what they have accomplied or can accom-
plisb. There are two rules to measure a
leader-his ability and fidelity to principle.
To settle principles you must come down to
a yardstick. No party that fails to plant
itself on the constitution can exist. It is
unsafe and dangerous. l will apply these
rules 20 all the parties, and you, honest
men, must be the jury. You may dam up
a mountain stream awhile, but it will break
over aud sweep away your dam. So it is
with truth. Let us reason calmly and de-
liberately."
Col. Livingston then explained in full the
division OF the alliance aud proved bis con-
sistency throughout He gave the inside
history Of this whole matter. II don't I'M
derstand my third party friends. l am ac-
cusod of being your daddy. Amt you 60
ing to respect your own daddy3 Honor thy
father and thy mother that thy days may be
long in Georgia.

platform before ii existed. ran
on the Livingston yardstick." Col
Livingston then followed his yardstIck
through, while he had Capt. Hammond
read the Chicago platform. He showed
that they oorresponded exactly, item by
item. He favored the removal Of the tax
on state banks. The president Of the Geor-
gia railroad had recently said: III the tax
was removed that road would issue 81 $50,
600. The Central could do as much, and
the Savannah, Florida aud Western rail-
road, This would advance the price of
cotton, labor and every commodity. State
bank money was as good as any money. The

tie the money question. The Chicago plat-
form has in ID every single demand the al

| two years ago. This makes me a thousand
times stronger democrat than ever before.
| No man living can say ever varied an iote

yardsticks.
THIRD PARTYITEs AS DEsERTERs.
"You third party people have deserted Il
through. You are traitors to me and
those principles you swore to obey. When
the committee notified me of my
nomination for congress as democrat
l promised them then that
would never let their banner trail in thu
dust. 1 have kept my pledge" Col Liv
ingston then read the third party platform
and criticised it in detail He arraigned the
Republican party in a mastery way and
showed where all the responsibility Of the
troubles complained Of lay. His eulogy OF
the Democratic party and all the noble
line of great men who have borne its ban.

splendid one in all respects. He covered
