'They appeal for this system in the name
of labor. II labor got any of IL there might
be some good in the scheme, but it does not.
1t makes labor simply question Of supply
and demand The object Of the Republican
party is plain. It is simply to give q par
ticular class advantage Of the whole IL
Americans REQUIRE 100 yards start in a race
OF 200 yards to come out ahead, it would be
better if they retired from the race
The question Of tariff reform is a vital is
sue. Cleveland says it's the great absorb
ing question and he risked the presidency
for IL. It's a question Of abuse of the power
Of taxation in making favored class at
the expenses OF the masses. Georgia pays
eight TO ten millions every year in this tax
The true doctrine is to take off the tax on
necessaries and place it on luxuries.n
THE THIRD PARTY's WILD vAGARTEs.
Col. Lester next tackled the third party
doctrine Of the government distributing
money TO people. He showed the idea to be
not only unconstitutional, but highly i'm
practicable He explained the force bill
bringing clearly to light its bad features,
showing that it undermines the constitu-
ton, would destroy free government and
take away the rights of the people. People
not only should be posted on these vital
issues, he said, but they should take an in-
tsrest in them. Col. Lester concluded by
speaking of the Democratic party
as one slow to do wrong, and as a bulwark
against Entertainments on the liberties of
the people. II is not so much now what the
party has done, but what 1t has not done.
What the Republican party has done is its
greatest fault, and the chief mission OF the
Democratic party is to undo it..
Col Lester concluded amidst loud cheers,
and the band played Dixie" which brought
forth, as usual, increased enthusiasm.
Hon. Alfred Harrington was the next
speaker. He opened his speech by saying
that be came from the pine bsrrens of the
free hills of the wiregrass.
Mr.. Herringbon's speech was humorous
eloquent and lofty, combining various ele-
ments and captured the crowd from the be-
ginning.
Mr. Harrington was a new speaker to the
Savannah audience, and the 'cracker from
Emanuel had the crowd with him until
the close.
A man In the front row of the dress cir
Gle wanted to discuss the issues with Mr..
Harrington and came near having himself
put out.
HARRINGTON TELLS STORIES.
He told the story of the fellow who mar
ried the rich girl and claimed everything
she had. The story took with the crowd
immensely. MIR. Harrington said
he had dealt with the
third party people until he hardly knew
how to deal with civilized people. He told
Of the fight with the third party In the wire
grass. where families had been arrayed
| against each other; father against son,
| brother against brother, and even husband
against wife.
The victory he ascribed to the
power Of the name of Grover
| Cleveland. The people OF Savan-
nah had no idea, he said. of the heat Of the
fight that had been waged around them.

Kemp and Mr.. Smith, the whilom third
party speaker and alliance lecturer.
1--WE have 'em down now," said Mr.. Her
rington, land we will endeavor to hold 'em
down until after tomorrow night anyhow !"
Mr.. Harrington then told the story of the
old man and the steel trap by way Of illus
| tratlon.
The speaker followed this with q number
Of other stories. And that reminds me, -
he would say, and each time no followed 1t
with good story.
eve had heard tell of the yankees in
time of the war; said Mr.. Harrington and
I'VE had heard Of the Republican party
after the war and we knew OF divisions in
the politics, but we never had this kind of
q thing at our doors before and l hope we
will never have it again"

about the dissensions which distracted the
country. Unity, he said, was the object
| which he sought. Submission on the part
of the minority might often be bitter, but
| it was a condition that must be accepted in
the best spirit we may. The third party he
characterized as q direct otf-shoot OF the
| Republican party.
This party, the Republican party" he
seid, us the old enemy which heaped
burdens upon the country and overturned
the constitution, which must still be
| fought"
He attacked che force bill as an effort on
| the part of the Republican party TO regain
that control of tine negro which they now
realized they have lost. The negro had
proved a boomerang to the Republican
party, he said. Is would take an army OF
several millions, said Mr.. Harrington, to en-
! force the force bill at the first election after
| its passage.
Force bill or something else, he said, is
sending back numbers of the third party
people to the democratic fold.
Mr.. Harrington exhorted every Ssvan-
nathan to uphold the fair name and main
tain the Importance of his city in the sup
port of the man who had done most for the
! development and advancement Of this port
| he pronounced panegyric upon Savan-
nab, praisiug her IN glowing terms.
The speaker closed with prophecy Of
! the early demise or the third party and the
final triumph OF democracy.
MIR. Herriugton's speech was interesting
throughout and he was frequently inter
rupted with applause.
DU BIGNoN CALLED FOR.
There were Immediately cries for "du-
Bignon," to which that gentleman at length
responded. He was created with wild ap-
plause, lasting several seconds. Mr. duBig-
non said that while appeciating the friendly
call, the time for speaking had closed. The
issues were clearly defined and nothing re-
manned but the casting Of the ballots. He
predicted in eloquent words that the unter-
riied democrats would to-day triumph at
the polls and restore the control of the
country to the people. AT the close OF Mr..
| duBignon's speech there were mingled cries
for Mercer and Morgan, to which at
last the latter gentleman was
prevailed upon to respond. MIR, Morgan re-
spondei feelingly and eloquently, His
words Of praise and description OF tho Dem
ocratic party were grand. He denounced
the third party as not the party Of the peo-
pie but of centralized government. The
issue is, whether the lowest and the worst
elements OF the country should control or
the people themselves There was loud ap~
plause at the mention Of the name Of Cleve-
land by Mr.. Morgan.
Col. Mercer was again called for and was
