CRISP ON THE PARTY.

Speaker Charles F. Crisp delivered a
speech in Atlanta one night last week
that will do the democratic party and
the cause of true democracy more real
good than any speech delivered BY any
man since the las. election. The rea-
SON it will do good is beaause it is so
full of facts, so full Of earncssness, and
so completely refutes the republican aud
populist charges that the democratic
party has failed III toto to carry out the
pledges made in the last campaign He
shows what has been done, what great
relief has been given the masses by the
legislation of the democratic party, and
completely wipes away the falsehoods
circulated by those who hope to reap
benefit from the destruction fthe demo-

We want every democrat to read the

man ask himself whether the democratic
party has been true to the promises made
in the last campaign or as false as some
of our South Carolina Office hunters 60

the jobbers did not look
for such a large trade as

tween times held an audible deb tie
wiLh himself as to which of them he
should thrash. When the conductor
tried to quiet him the bully raved
and cursed and promised the con-
"uctor and driver, too. a more t-rri-

received. When a pa,seny ger wanted
