WAYCRoss, GA, Sept. 20.-Gsn. Weaver
began his campaign In Georgia under
dismal auspices to-day. The skies were
clouded, the crowd was small, aud the
enthusiasm lacking. Altogether the recep-
tion was not encouraging. There were juss
four third party men at the depot to meet
Gen. Weaver and Mrs. Lease when tha
train arrived from jacksonville at O'Clock.
There were no brass bands, no wild hur-
rahs and no superfluous enthusiasm about
the reception. The knots Of democrats
gathered around the depot and the hotels
gazed sympatheAcally at the party and oon.
cluded that the whole thing was farce.
THIRD PARTY PROSPECTS.
The party was escorted to the Southern
hotel, where Gen. Weaver and wife regis
tered from DeS Moines, la, and Mrs. Mary
e. Lease from Kansas. The party re-
turned to their rooms. where they received
half dozen representatives of the
press who called upon them.
Gen. Weaver talked at length upon the
third party's prospects and the campaign,
denying the reports that had been circulated
against him and giving a glowing account
Oh nm campaign. As 1eh. weaver went
over preoissiy tne same grounu IN ms
speech. it is not necessary TO go into details
Of his statements.
The boys at Waycross had been arrang~
ing for some little fun with the third party
presidential candidate and very consider
able supply Of
ANCIENT AND VENERABLE HEN FRUIT
and other similar delectable products had
been gathered with a view 20 the entertain
ment Of the distinguished guest
The weather, however, prevented the
speaking taking place In the open air and the
strong efforts Of cooler and wiser heads of the
tion at the hall. In fact the greater portion
of the town people stayed away from the
hall and the audience was almost entirely
composed Of country people, two-thirds Of
OF whom were democratic Circulars headed
weaver" and signed Southern Demo-
orat," were distributed throughout the town
in the morning as follows:
