Brunswick. Ga. Sept 25.-The biggest
sensation of the day in politics culmi-
mated tonight AT O'Clock. when Mayor
II. F. Dunwody arose in a meeting that J.
3. Osborne a populist, was addressing
and denounced him as an UnmitiEated
liar, breaking up the meeting and causing
Osborne to swallow his words.
The Morning Call, a new paper just
started here, started the sensations to-
day by publishing under glaring head
lines a story of at1daVlts made against
Osborne to the effect that on recent
visit to Brunswick he acted
in disgraceful manner. Osborne
tonight delivered a pOpulist harangue
and concluded by saying he would neither
deny or affirm the charges, and denounced
the Call for publishing his private move
ments lie then followed by making al
lUsions to certain matters which We're
brought out in a divorce suit here some
years ago. These illusions affected
relative Of DunwOdy, and at the time
the divorce suit was tried they were de
MED. Tonight when Osborne referred
to this case the hall was packed and
jammed 10 the doors. Policemen were
present to preserve order, but in the back
part of the hall Dunwody
arose and said: Those statements
have been denied, and l say they are
hes" We'll. =" said Osborne, II was told
so any way 1t makes no difference
who told you, " said Dunwody, they are
lies and YOU tell lie when you repeat
them. You shall not stand there. SIR,
and malign a man in his absence, and say
you shall stop it,
DunwOdy was then advancing to Os
borne and the police closed in. Osborne
then said, We'll, III not say it then"
In the meantime the crowd began to
make for the doors. while the friends Of
Dunwody and Osborne began TO crowd
around each. All trouble was stopped
however, and big yell sent up
for Dunwody. The crowd then broke
away and no fights occurred.
AS Osborne was making his way from
the hall to the train Judge Spencer *.
A tkinson publicly caned him, striking
him several terrible ticks before friends
pulled him of and let Osborne escape.
Judge Atkinson was the person Osborne
referred TO in his speech tonight, and
whom DunwOdy defended. Judge Atkin-
son and Dunwody are related.
THE RALLY AT JEsUP.
Jesup. Ca, Sept 25.-There will be a
grand democratic rally held here Satur-
day, Sept. % Hons. II. G. Turner, w.
g. Brantley, Il. l.. Berner and probably
II. w. j. Ham will speak. Reduced rates
will be given on railroads entering here.
Several of the better class of people in
this county, who were popuHsts before,
have openly declared they cannot support
a party that will act in the manner that
the populists did on Saturday last when
they prevented Col. J. w. Bennett. demo
cratic nominee for the legislature, from
speaking.
News reaches here to-day of many
threats made by the populists, and a good
many are afraid to attend the election at
certain precincts in this county. How
ever, some of the more conservative
members of the populisJ party are OPP
posed to any harsh means being used
The democrats of this district hope there
will be no trouble on the day of the cleo
tlon, and will do all in their power to pre-
vent any disturbance should the popuists
insist upon making trouble
