Mr.. Watson. Listen to this, la
dies. 81 have been called dreamer
and expelled to Arcadia"
Who called him dreamer? Why,
Mr.. Patrick Walsh, of Richmond
county. "But / would like before |
60 to get" What? GA little Ar
oadian atmosphere into Georgia poll
taes. Do not lower your standard
of morals" In other words, Mr..
Black said at that time that Georgia
politics needed purifying, but now
be says that it is all serene and lovely,
and all you have to do is just to beat
Watson and put him in Congress.
(Derisive laughter.) What else did
he say? "There is no denying but
among the people there is a feeling
of distrust, and there is" what 7?
"just cause for it." Now he says
that it is largely exaggerated. IRE
newed laughter of the derisive sort.)
"There is just cause for it," why?
"Because there must be charmed
circle into which if man does MOI
enter be need never aspire to any
honor" What is the charmed cir
ole? The political ring.
Voices. That's SO Tom, we know
it, God bless you. And great cheer
ing.
Mr.. Watson. Until he did get
into that ring the Augusta and At
lanta politicians had not the slightest
use for Mr.. Black.
Cries of. That is right, Tom, old
boy. Hurrah for our Tom.
Mr. Watson. What else does he
say9 "There is one head, and when
it takes snuff there is a universal
sneeze." (Laughter.) "When it
pipes all dance" (Renewed laugh
ter)
Listen. 81 call upon you to arise,
and smite this power" What power?
The corrupt ring. Ring rule in
Georgia politics. Amt that what I
am asking you to do now?
Voices. That is right, and that is
what we are going to do. cloud
cheering, and feeble attempts to turn
the tide by hurrahs for Black, but
enthusiasm and numbers were both
against it,
Mr.. Watson. Now listen, hear
what he says further. To the Ia
dies. l want you to hear this.
"For twenty days Goliath defed the
armies of Israel" Great laughter
from the ladies, and bowls from a
cOterie of claquers in the front and
left of the STACEY
Oh, yes, you Richmond county
fellows have got enough steam to
last you a little while yet, but the
siokest looking crowd / ever saw are
you Hancock county democrats.
Uproarous laughter.
Now listen, ladies; I want you to
hear the conclusion. t'For twenty
days Goliath deied the armiesSof
Israel, but there came an Arcsdlan
youth and slew him. Great laugh
ter. Slew Goliath Pointing his
thumb behind.) That is the Area
dian youth! Uncomfortable laugh.
ter.
Listen. No power can brighten
me, no honor can bride me. 81 hope
for the fate Of Goliath to all who OBJ
tain and mold office by corrupt prac-
tees"
That was what he said when he
was fighting the ring that the peo-
pie of Georgia were beset as the
Philistines beset the people of Israel,
by GOiah, but that they had
David-and he was David. (Laugh-
teri And the Democratic newspa-
pers all made fun OF the David of
that day. Laughter) But where
is David now? Does he know
sswhere he's at 20
A voice. We know where he's
at. Laughtar.)
Mr.. Watson. Yes, my friends,
there is one instance of where a Dem
oorat knows where he is at. Iaugh-
ter.) He has passed over the river
of Sulong and joined forces with
Goliath.
A voice. That's right.
Another voice. That is wrong;
and cheering from both sides.
Mr.. Watson. Goliath takes snuff
and, 10! David sneezes. (Laughter)
Goliath pipes and, 10 David dances,
(Side-splltting laughter.) Being
somewhat fat he is not very grace
full dancer, but he does 1t the very
best he can,
Cries of Good good! good! and
uproalious laughter.
Mr.. Watson. Now, do you not
think that Major Black is the last
man in the world to abuse you and
me for not sneezlug and dancing
when the Goliath newspapers take
snuff and pipe? (Renewed laugh .er.)
do not say it by way of putting us
in opposition that Major Black is the
very worst man in the Tenth district
to represent you, but really, do you
not think that he would be one Of
the most improperest selections?

Unsurpassed, laughter mischievous
