and the court house walls are ringing with
the cheers OF democrats wedged into it like
sardines in box, intently listening to
democratic eloquence expounded by Cos
l. Mershon. Brunswick some days
ago decided TO have a rally and
discuss local politics, but none thought that
such a crowd would gather. Rain fell for
hours before the meeting, but nothing
dampened the ardor of those who wanted
to drive the nails in the political coffin OF
Glynn's independents candidate for the
legislature against Judge NJ. L. Marshon.

MERsHoN RECEIVES AN OVATION.
Col. Mershon was next introduced and
received an ovation. He began by stating
that his democracy had been challenged by
the statements that he held Office in Glynn
county under Bullock. He proved that be-

toosa county and that through his instru-
mentality the notorious union league OF
Catoosa county was broken up.

ing notice to Bullock that be was against
him, be was appointed. He proved that he
was appointed by request Of united demo-
Gratis and republicans, who wanted demo-
cratic solicitor. and that during his Office he
was against the governor that appointed
him and would not accept a cent
of the republican money for the work
he did during his entire term. [Great ap-

that be had ever drawn q republican breath
or uttered one syllable for republicanism or
other than for democracy. Col Mershon
indicated himself, and when he concluded
the applause was deAfening. Glynn will
send him TO the legislature despite Bucks
orders for the negroes to vote against him.
