MR., RUSSELL IN DAWSON
A VISIT FROM THE SECOND DIS
TRICT'S CONGRESSMAN.
Talk--ColoneI Halves Made 1t Lively
For the POpuliSts

Talk--Colonel Hawes Made 1t Lively
For the Populists.
Congressman Ben E. Russell, accom-
panied by Mr.. A. L. Halves, of Balm
bridge, arrived in Dawson on the olum
bus Southern train early last Wednesday
and remained until Thursday morning
Mr.. Russell's visit here was for the
purpose of speaking to the pc pie OF
Terrell county on the issues of the cam
paign. He was quite feeble, however,
from several days sickness, and the
main speech was made by Colonel
HAYES.
The speaking began in the superior
court room at II o'clock, the audience
numbering Is or 100 people. Colonel
HAYES was introduced by Judge Query
in few timely and thoroughly demo
cratic remarks, and for the next hour the
third party received severe rasping.
The speaker first gave his attention to
the record made my Mr.. Smith, the pop
ulist candidate for congress- in the
Georgia legislature. MI. Smith is now
the advocate of government ownership
of railroads and the free coinage of silver,
but ACCOUNTING to the speaker, when d
3Icalo,r ot the general assembly he
voted to sell the state road and later
voted to require the lessees of the road
to pay the rental in gold. From this MIR.
Halves went into a criticism and denun-
citation of the dangers of the third party,
and from then until he closed made it
decidedly warm for the few pOpulists
who were present. He was Interrupted
two or three times, but he kept up
heavy and continual fire and made it SO
hot for the enemies of democracy that
several of them left the meeting.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Halves re-
marks CONGRESSMAN Russell cOnsumed
about five minutes time. He said that
the great issue upon which the ampaigu
was fought two wears ago was the tariff,
and that the democratic party was en-
trusted with the affairs Of the govern
ment on q promise to revise the tariff
laws and lessen the cost OF the necessa-
RES of life to the masses OF the people.
This promise, he SAID, had been rigidly
kept so far as it was possible, and he
briefly reviewed some of the benefits
that the people will derive from the tariff
legislation of the recent congress. He
said he was in favor of the free coinage
of silver at any ratio that would keep it
on a parity with gold, and closed by urg-
ing democrats to stand firm and make an
active campaign.
During the day Mr.. Russell was called
upon by a number of our people and
given cordial welcome to Dawson.
His next appointment was at Morgan,
in Calhoun county, and he and Colonel
Halves left for that place early Thursday
morning by private conveyance.

Call Issued by Secretary Car
Isle For Bids For New \
Bonds. -,
AN ISSUE OF S5o,ooo,o0o,
Amount Realized Expected to
Exceed the February
Issue.

WASHINGTON, Nov. ID. - Secretary
Carlisle has issued his call for bids foz
$50, ,OOO,0O0 s per cent, 10-year bonds,
interest to be paid in coin, which is
interpreted to mean gold. The only
material changes made in the present
call from that issued Jan. IA last are
the omission of the upset or minimum
price which would be accepted, and the
notice that the proposals for the pres
ent issue must be sealed. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY expected at the treasury depart
ment that an amount will be realized
considerably in excess Of that received
on the February issue. This expecta'
ton is based on the fact that there are
exceptionally large amounts Of money
now lying idle
And Seeking Investment
in the money centers of the country.
and upon the further fact that the Feb
ruary issue is now quoted at $118.5O or
about 2 per cent above the price which
would yield per cent. From the last
issue there was realized $5S, $3.50, 9l7. 63,
and Of this amount $52, $50, 264.24 was
in gold coin, $3.50, 42O in gold certifi-
Gates, and $2S3.39 in other money
which the sub-treasuries were COM
PEELED to take in making change.
While these amounts were actually
paid into the treasury in gold or its
equivalent, very considerable amount
of gold was withdrawn from the sub
treasures
For the Express Purpose
of using it again in paying for the
bonds. The exact amount thus with
drawn cannot be ascertained, but the
best knowledge obtainable is that it
approximated $15, ,O0O, 900.
Sealed proposals for the bonds will be
received at the treasury department.
until IL o'clock noon ON the 24th day of
November, 1894. The bonds are re-
deemable in coin at the pleasure of the
government, after 10 years from date
of their issue, and bearing interest pay
able quarterly in coin, at the rate of 5
per cent per annum.
