WATSON SAWS THE AIR.
CORDELE THE SCENE OF HIS THIRD
PARTY EFFUSION.

Ee Was Given a Respectful Hearing
By the Democrats-He Accused the
Democrats Of Demonetizing silver
in 1973-He Jumped Upon Every
thing Democratic efused to Re-
main to Listen to Col Tom Taylor.
CoRDELE, GA, Sept. 27.-Tom Watson
sawed the air here to-day before an audi
ence composed of 500 third partyites from
ten counties and about as many democrats.
The democrats had T. C. Taylor of Hawkins
vile present. and asked Mr.. Watson to
divide time with him, Mr.. Watson refused
to do so. The speaking occurred in the
grove near the water works plant There
was some talk, originating with
the third partyites, that the
third party orator would be
mistreated, but he received a respectful
hearing from beginning to end. Mr.. Wat
son was introduced by Capt. Hiram Will
Jams, chairman of the third party executive
committee of Dooly county. He id Wat
son was man who had often been abused
by the democratic newspapers, but had
never been inundated. In haglnni & Lis
speech Watson referred to his reception in
Atlanta and warned the boys that they
would not raise themselves in his estimation
by throwing eggs at him. The first half
hour was consumed in njectinZ third party
martyrdom into the air. He then turned
hls attention to Mr.. Crisp,
ACCUSING HIM OF STAYING AWAY
from the meeting to-day because he was
afraid to meet the third party argument.
he endeavored to make the impression that
nothing would have given him more pleas

mated that Mr.. Crisp had lost his opportu-
nifty 70 debate with the messiah of the third
party. be quoted q state nent made by
Mr.. Crisp that there has never been finan-
ctal measure in congress when the demo-
Gratis did not vote with the people, and in
an attempt 60 refute it charged the demo-
Gratis with demonetizing silver in 1873 and
burning up 81 ZOO. 100000 in 1886. He made
the tariff issue OF small importance, and pre-
sented the sub-treasury scheme in its most
ridiculous light. He made a great many
remarks which we're well received by the
third partyites present, but upon their face
they were the veriest sophistry. He jumped
upon everything democratic with both
feet, but refrained from discussing the
platform Of his own party. At the end of
his speech he made frantic appeal TO the
negroes to vote the third party ticket. He
spoke for over two hours, aud was listened
to with respect until near the end.
The democrats were anxious to hear some
GOOD DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE
expounded by Col Tom Taylor, and as
they saw no end in sight to the Watson
harsngue they began to call him down. As
he finished his speech he left the stand, fol-
lowed by all the third party men present,
withdrawing the announcements that
there would be democratic speech.
Mr.: Shipp introduced Mr.. Taylor of
HawkInsville, who spoke for fifteen minutes
and completely answered every attack that
Watson had made on the democracy. He
said he regretted that the third partyites
had left after Mr. Watson finished speaking,
and he thought they we're very ill-mannered
to act as they did after democrats had
listened 30 attenuvely to Watson. He said
he would have ri en- them "hel by sections
If they had stayed, as he brought the record
forward to prove that Mr.. Watson had
been making fools of them.
