| DoUGLAsvILLE, GA, Fen. 5.-The
first Gvowcd third party meeting in
Georgia was held here 'Tuesday. and ,h,
organization of independent political
movement inaugurated. The meeting
was held in the alliance warehouse,
where about one hundred men and sew.
eral ladies sat on board benches, cotton
baes, guanO sacks and railroad trucks,
to hear the democratic and republican
parties abused alike, and rail road legis-
latlon, financial reforms and other mo-
me ntous questions ripped up the back
and thoroughly dissectcd. Col. &. G..
Post was the orator of the occasion.
lie is much the same kind of n speaker
as Sam Small, and even looks some
thing like him. He did all the dissectino
that was done. lie advocated the sub
treasury bill and the other Ocala de-
mands. lie said that as the farmers Of
the western and northern st t,tcs had
thrown aside their party of republican
| ollgarchy to join the new party. so the
farmers of Georgia would throw aside
The democratic party to JON the new
peoples party.
IN conclusion he said the new move
ment was not strictly an alliance move
mchC. Ihat professional men, labor
men anybody could join. The orcani-
Ztllon was then begun in the shane OF
Ihc election of county committed.
This, Douglas, county is one of thc
stronYholds OF the new movement, an,
