The principal issue Of the canvass in Bar

the present nominees stand for the present

one OF the third party nominees is in favor
of repeating the law. Mr.. Rollins, his COL
league on the ticket, is rather nOn-com-
initial. Mr. Meals election is needed by the
third party. MIR. Baker will get some
liquor votes from the democrats. and he
Will lose some prohibition votes from the

MR.. DU BIGNON's SPEECH.
Mr.. duBignoD, the peerless orator from
Savannah, made the opening speech. He
spoke OF the charges which are
being made against the party
by Weaver and Field. He showed by their
own statements that the Republican party
was responsible for the wrongs of which
they complained. Gen. Field so adj
mitted only a few days ago. saving
that the indictment he brought against
the Democratic party was for doing moth
ing to relieve the distress OF the countrg.
The charge, as made officially, amounts to
this: that the Democratic party has been
unable to dislodge from the control Of the
government the responsible authors of our
wrongs, therefore it should perish. Mr..
duBiRnon said that he was unwilling
to admit that success 10 the only criterion
OF merit, and that failure aud misfortune
are the iudices Of vice. But has the Demo
cratic party done nothing, he asked.
but on this lines He spoke of
what 1t has done In state politics. in redeem
ing the government, in restoring social
order and driving specters from hearth
stones throughout the state, in building I'D
the splendid schools, in reolaiming the prop
erty Of the state and restoring financial as
well as social order.
IN THE INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE,
Who, he asked, would be no bold or reck.
less as to assert that the legislation of
Georgia for twenty years had not been in
the interest Of the whole people7 What
officer, executive legislative or judicial. had
been fatthless to his trust2 The speaker
was scoring point after point, and
when he dwelt for few minutes on Peek's
slavery bill he got the sympathetic interest
or more than the colored hearers One
white man, who seemed deeply IN earnest,
cried out that he would kill any man who
tried to put him in slavery. The mans
earnestness made the audience smile.
'Is it nothing that the force bill has been
twice defeatedl Is it nothing that the Dem
ocratlc party has prevented the worst piece
OF financial legislation that john Sherman
could devise" he asked. "If all our friends
desire success regardless of prin-
ciple, would it not be better
for them to affiliate with the republicans at
oncel But" he inquired, do you expect
to achieve success alone and siugle handedg"
Suppose the party of the populist should
be successful. what would they do with the
countryp
MAGNIFICENT HERITAGE.
This country is a magnificent heritage
set for the hope or disappointment of the
liberty loving world.
Then followed keen criticism Of the plat
form of the third party. Mr.. duBignon de-
nounced the declaration made in the Omaha
| convention that this country is on the
verge OF a moral bankruptcy.
He pronounced the charge libeIous. an in
suit to the memory OF our mothers and the
| living presence Of our wives and daughters.
He was heartily applauded and presented
| with some beautiful flowers. His speech
| made great impression, aud he was invited
TO come back and speak again.
Gov. Northen and Sam Jones then made
speeches which were received with great
favor, especially that of Georgia's noble
governor.
