MCINTOSH, GA, April 13.-CoL Z. P.
Miller, chairman OF the democratic execu-
tive committee of Liberty county has called
meeting at Hinesville on Friday, April
%, to select delegates to the state convention
at Atlanta. The third party has sufficient
following In Liberty county to weaken the
Democratic party's strength and as the
colored voters are largely in the majority,
the republicans may elect the representative
to the legislature. But no fears are enter
tanned as to county offices, as the colored
people have decided against the third party.

SYLvANIA. GA, April 13.-Politics was
never warmer, perhaps, in this county than
at the present time. AS the Peoples party
is supposed to be in the majority most of
the candidates for county offices are coming
out subject TO that primary. A few, how
ever, are still clingiDg to the old party. ID.

FELLOW CITIzENs--I have been asked to de-
fine my position in this the greatest political
crisis, In my Judgment. that it has been my mis-
fortune to witness NV answer to this inquiry
adopted by the st. Louis convention, in refer
ence to the union soldiers pension, in my judg.
ment cannot successfully be denied. Owing to
this fact cannot ndorse the st. Louis plat
form, and further desire to say that l cannot
accept the secretaryship OF the Peoples party
executive committee l am simon-pure
democrat and an allianceman standing suuarely
on the Ocala platform.

says fools don't change, but think the biggest
fool have seen lately is the one who at this

The Union alliance near Captolo in this
county, an alliance composed of some OF
the best farmers In our county, will publish
the following resolution this week
Resolusd, BY Union Alliance No 1887. that
we consider 1t unwise aud impolitic for southern
alllancemen 70 join in the third party move
ment, as we conside 1t republican scheme to
selves, and in the majority, we can force out
SIDE democrats to help us in the Dem
ocratic party to elect such men
as we want in our county. state aud national
elections. And why should we desert the
Democratic party, thereby making enemies of
those whom we can now make our friends and
inviting carpet-ba ygers and negroes to take
possession OF affairs as they did Immediately
after the war? We consider the sentiment
OF the st. Louis convention, in IA
vor of paying union soldiers, as an insult to
southern manhood, and commend the action of
GeorgiaDs who refused TO participate in that
convention. We declare our adherence to the
demands Of the Ocala platform, believing them
to emoody the principles of Jeffersonian DEM
ocracy; and we implore alliancemeu and demo-
Gratis who are not members Of the order to assist
in working for the enforcement of these princi-
pies.
