SYLvANIA, GA. July 13.-In response 10
the call Of the chairman Of the democratic
executive committee the unterrihed democ-
racy of Scrivsn, about 200 strong, as
sembled In this town this morning. In the
crowd were many ladies. In the park In
the rear of the court house, amid the oaks,
a bush arbor had been erected, and beneath
their friendly shelter a platform and seats
had been arranged. At IL O'Clock Hon. U.
p. Wade, the chairman, arose and In few
well-timed and complimentary remarks
introduced T. s. Morgan of Chatham, who
was greeted with great applause. 1t was
this young orators first appearance before
a Serevin audience and he was well re-
ceived. He held the audience well for Que
hour and made a fine impression. de de-
Tended the democratic doctrines and plat
form, and went for the Peoples party plat
form without gloves. He said he was not
here 20 abuse any one and knew that there
were in the Peoples party many good and
well meaning men who were mtsled.
Those he desired to reason with and show
the error Of their way, to the LEADERS and
demaeogue, statesmen without job, men
who had been repudted and RELOCATED TO
private life by both the old parties,
he paid his respects. Gen. Weaver was
like unto q chameleon on the money ques-
ton. He had been a greenbaoker. and bad
advocated almost everything else, and was
AoV1 - ha 10
60 Ignatius Donnelly, and convicted him of
advocating the doctrine Of Capitalization by
his own book.
While Mr.. Morgan was speaking, Gilbert
Jawton, a colored man who had always
been a democrat, and is also freeholder,
interrupted him to say that the Democratic
party was the old ship Of Zion, and bad
saved this country, and that ne intended TO
stick to II.
DU BIGSoS's SPEECH.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Morgan's ad-
dress, the chairman introduced Hon. F. G..
6uBignon of Chatham, who was greeted
with great applause. This was this speak
er's first appearance before a Scriven audi
ence, but his fame as an orator had pres
ceded him. His bearers reviewed him
critically and expected much Of him, but
were not disappointed. A telegraphic
synopsis Of the speech will not do 1t justice.
It was a great effort, deep in reasoning,
and IL there was a Peoples party advocate
who heard and was open to reason
the audience for two hours and
made grand impression. He defended the
democratic doctrines and showed that the
democrats were not responsible for any OBJ
noxious legislation and had not had control
of the government since Buchanan was
President and could pass no laws since that
time. He said he favored the free coinage
of silver, provided Ii was an honest dollar
worth 100 cents every where, but that free
coinage would not relieve the financial dis
tress. He said the farmers were
not the cause OF the financial distress, that
they had worked hard and patiently and
had produced millions OF value Of products
and sent loaded fleets aAd trains out OF the
state, but none OF the money remained
here It was gathered at the money osn-
ters by the robber tariff. that silent, relent-
less TAX Rathersr who, with muff1ed feet.
drank the life blood of the people almost
without their knowledge.
THE FoROE ELL.
He said the force bill was the greatest
evil that threatened the south, that threat
ened our civilization and il the republicans
were successful In this election they would
force it on US. his appeals to the Peoples
party to come back to the democratic ranks
and not expose US to this danger by dis
rupting the ranks when victory was so near
were sublime in the extreme and touched
many heart.
At the close Of the address a motion was
made that all who favored the Peoples
party hold up their hand, and only five
showed up.
Lemonade and public dinner followed
and were greatly enjoyed
A mass meeting was held In the afternoon
at 3 O'Clock. Ii appointed delegates to the
congressional and gubernational CON
ventions and nominated Causey Overstreet
as the democratic nominee for the legis-
lature. Scriven will go democratic. II
Thomas e. Watson finds time TO Leave the
Tenth district and invades the First dis
trict Scriven will have to make a requisi-
zion on Savannah for Messrs. duBignon and
Morgan to meet him.
