The Democratic Party of Thomas
County Analyzed-His Hayward
Children and What Thsy are Doing.
THoMAsvILLE, GA, July 20. 1892.
1. Democrdt-Poor old father Demo-
crat, with care-worn features, is sitting on
the fence looking down the jagged line of
posterity upon his erring and errstic off
spring. Il is with sadness that no contem-
plates the situation. His onoe powerful
household Was an impregnable fort where
peace and happiness reigned supreme with
an assuring confidence of unity of strength.
But alas how soon was this peaceful abode
to be invaded by contentious, struggles and
disruption.
There was born unto this old man a son,
whom ne called
2. Alliance Democratic or course Mr..
Democrat belongs to this household,
but as she is kind Of household nonenity
she can claim no part in this progeny.
This young alliance democrat was
beautiful child. His physical form was
perfect. He at once became the pride of
the old mans heart The child grew and
waxed strong. The old man thought he
could begin to see the dawn Of a day in the
distant future, when he would have a
valuable ally in filling his Golfers. In fact
he dreamed of gold dollars taking the place
of the grains on the cob. But In time when
hot wheather came on, and young A. D.
began to cut bis eye-teeth, and began TO
have the stomach hart 80 otteu, the
old man became alarmed and sent
for the doctor. The doctor came and
patched him up, aud he ffourished a few
seasons like the young bay tree. In the
meantime other Offspring were in the field,
and stripped this first born OF rights
and privileges And while he was
oufred and kicked about, he deye-
oped tumor on the leg cen
ter OF his brain, which produced paralysis
of his right leg, so that he now is physically
and mentally unable TO pace his broad ex-
tended acres DER and garner the rich har-
vest so fondly dreamed Of.
Now the next child born unto this family
was named
8. alliance. He was a tough little
gamin. He cut his eye-teeth and went
through the second summer without a sin
gle attack of cholera infantum. In fact he
was so bull-headed and uncompromising
that the old man threatened to dislnherit
him, but the elder brother persuaded him
not to do 80. This young rascal gave the
old man great deal of trouble. He was
the worst gad-about in the whole country.
He was terror to the towns. Whenever
he went to town to trade the merchants
would let him have goods at half cost. He
bad mighty loose notion about the finan-
cial problem. he wanted his daddy to put
repositories all over The county aud loan all
his money out at 2 per cent. He also
wanted big barns built TO store up the cot
ton and the corn SO that therel would never
be scarcity of these products. There was
another child born, and his name Is
4. Third Party alliance. Now, this
chlld's physical condition is unfortunate
He was born with cleft palate, and you
can scarcely understand what he says when
he talks; besides, he is bow-legged and tries
TO walk on both sides of the fence at the
same time. The old man is heart-sick over
the development of this unfortunate child
He tried to give 1t away 70 certain
wealthy gentleman, but this said gentleman
wouldn't have him. He then gave it
TO another fellow and he kept it
awhile, until he got TOO much for him,
aud took wings and flew away. This wan
deriug brother is in pitiable condition.
Disinherited by the old man, discounte-
nanced by Alliance Democrat, and receiv-
ing simply broad facial grin (over the left
shoulder) from Alliance, be wanders over
the earth without hope. save that 'some-
thing may turn up" to save him.
Now we come to the
5. Third Party child. The fates save us
from this physical monstroslty! He is born
blind, without legs, without arms without
rnourners slowly vending their way to the
boneyard to lay this thing away in it's last
resting place with that part where his head
ought to be dolcntDard.
Now we come to the next which Is the
8. SteUens' Alliance. This child was
born in obscurity, reared in uncertainty,
and developed into full hedged
crookedness. He amuses himself and tor
ments his aged and sorrowful father, by
lying fiat on his back on the top rail Of
the fence and pounding his brother, AL
lance Democrat, on the head with the heel
of his right foot, and the head Of Third
Party with his left foot. Then again
shakes hands with Alliance Democrat. and
caresses Third Party Alliance. This bril-
liant brsiny disturber, gives his family a
deal OF trouble. This political shaper Of
events stirs the political boiling pot with O
stick dipped in caustic potash and then
pours in little oil, which hardly mixes
aud finally turns out q soap that will not
whitewash democrat or disinfect third
partyite.
Finally we come TO the last born,
z. Hammond Democrat. Get the family
together! Send runners 70 every corner Of
the landl A peacemaser is born unto this
household! How beautiful How perfect
In the outlines OF his make-upl Go out on
the hastings, the highways and the hedges
and bring in every man, that he may hold
up the hands OF this, the last born-that he
may be the harbinger Of peace, happiness
and prosperity to this household 80 long
distrusted and disrupted! But alaa! the
little thing is born with his eyes shut
Calmly wait till this, which seems so pro-
pitlous. develops into something which we
can look at, size up, feel and measure.

81 am about your size"
