HAwKINsvILLE, GA, April l9.-The
democrats OF Pulaski county assembled in
mass meeting here to-day and reaffirmed
their allegiance to the Democratic party.
The meeting was large and harmonious,
and by mutual concessions from alliance
men and non-alliancemen such resolutions

quietus to the third perty in Pulaski county.
The county executive committee was di-
rected TO call mass meetings in the
various militia districts, at which meetings
each district will select five delegates, who
will meet at the court house on May 8, at
which meeting delegates to the state con-
VentiOn will be selected and new execu-

point campaign committee of three from
each district, with central committee of
five. The democrats of the county are
fully awake. and the danger which
threatened this county is not so alarming
as 1t was few weeks ago.
LIvINGsToN's CAMPAIGN.
ATLANTA, GA, April l9.-Congressman
Livingston spent part Of to-day in Atlanta
and left tonight at o'clock for Washington.
Col Livingston had been absent from his
seat in the House Of Representatives for two
weeks stumping his district for a renomlna-
tion. Just before leaving Tonight the
colonel, in an interview, took a very gloomy
view OF the situation. He said the repub-
Iicans and third party men, backed by
President Polk and other foreign powers,
had q determined to make des-
perate war on him, and at all
efforts prevent his return as
congressman from the Fifth district. He
did not express himself as satisfied as re-
CARDS his prospects of success in the face of
this desperate opposition, but left the i'm
preston that he was wholly satisfied with
the reception he has received during his
Btumping tour OF his district. In speaking
of the recent flying visit of President L. L.
Polk to Atlanta, Col. Livingston said he
had undoubtedly come here to confer with
local third party men in regard to
the establishment of a third party
daily paper in Atlanta, land
it isn't democratic money that will
back the paper either, you may be sure" he
added. "Neither is it Peoples party money;
they haven't got any" Col Livingston's
idea is that the republicans will turn their
undivided attention to Georgia this foil IN
an effort to break the solid south and make
bad worse He frankly says he is marked
by the campaign managers as one who must
be defeated. They are determined that
my district shall not send democrat to
congress this fall he said. But we shall
eee.n Right here it can be well stated that
while there is in this district
an element of democrats which will fight
Col Livingston bitterly, there are plenty
of good and influential democratic cam
paiguers who will take their coats off for
him to win a victory for the old standard,
regardless of the accusations thai have been
made against the alliance president. Col
Livington's presence in the city to~day was
for the purpose of settling the dispute over
the Alliance Farmers political policy.
Editor Irwin is still in charge, and this
weeks issue is more rampant in third party
docseine than ever, despite the action Of
the committee ordering the course of
the paper changed. Col. Livingston's best
friends admit mistake in attempting to
force the alliance organization back into
line. He evidently reokoned without his
host, because to-day's work left. the paper
Just where it was before he and Mr..
Calvin issued their ultimatum last week.
He should have been sure OF his authority
and power to carry out his orders before
he issued them. President Livingston
however says that the ultimate result will
be that the paper will resume its national
non-parIisan policy, though he admits that
nothing has been accomplished as yet.
