come Democratic Speakers
The democrats Of Bull0ch county have
held the boards in that section this week,
aud they have been putting in some tell
ing work, and such as is calculated to
| successfully drown all populist hopes.
The bali was started rolling last We'd
/ nesday at Hagin, little country place
( IN tnat county which IS rather
centrally located, and OF which
large crowd can easily asscmDIe Two
meetings were held at Hagiu On Wednes-
/ daE, one IN the morning and the Other IN
the evening. MIR w. Fl. Davis of Burke
county, solicitor general of the Augusta
I circuit, did the hOnOrs for the morning
meeting, and ne talked sound democratic
| doctrine To between $50 and LOCO people.
There are nearly 1000 voters in Bull0.h,
and they turn out in large numbers on an
occasion Of this kind
In the afternoon Mr. T. S. Morgan of
savannah addressed a meeting OF about
the same size at Hagin. The crowd was
a very enthusiastic one, and was at
tended largely by the c0l0red voters.
many OF whom it is said viii heartily es-
pouse the democratic cause.
>. i. Moore, Jr., the Democratic candi-
! GATE FOR the legislature frOmBuloch was
on hand at the Hagin meetings, and he
lntrodu ced the speakers in short and APP
prOPrIdte speeches. Rev. Ldeniield, the
popGllst candidate for the legislature
/ IRON that county, was not present at
either OF the meetings, but there was d
majority OF the populists who compose the
party III the county on hand. They lis
tened attentiEely to the speeches made,
and 1t IS believed the work win bring
many OF them back into the democratic
fold
Wednesday night at Statesboro before
the county court house. q meeting of more
than 800 voters of Bulloch county was
addressed both by blr. Davis and Mr..
Morgan. Quite a number of the pOpulists
were also on hand at this meeting.
The next meeting was at Bitch, Thurs
day afternoon, when a crowd of about
oDO voters was addressed by MessrS. g.
y. Wnatley, w. ii. Davis and T. >. Nor
gan. All of them discussed living
party issues, and comparisons of
the three party platforms We're made
disastrOusly for those of the p0pulist and
republican. The speakers told the voters
II They wanted to accomplish any reform
they could not do it in a divided state
There was division in 1861, they said,
and IL resulted in a republican rule for
nearly thirty years. The applause was
good. and the indications a all the meet
lngs were that there would be a much
larger democratic majority in Bulloch
than thai county has ever given, and that
there would be rapid subsistence of third
partyism.
There is no doubt, - said Mr. Morgan
yesterday, 'abouE the democrats sweep
ing everything in that county by a largely
increased majority With reference 10
the county Ottices, all OF which are now
filled by democrats, it is confidently
claimed that all the democratic candi-
dates Will be elected, and that the
county S uGmOprdtlC will
Inquire IN the state majority. The people
all over the county, MIR Morgan said, are
enthusiastic in the work, and the demo
Gratis are going to leave nothing undOne
10 sweep the field"
A continuation of the work in that see
ton will be the visit of Hon w. Y At
klnson and Mr.. A. o. Bacon to Bulloch
about Sept. l. Both will speak to the
democrats of the county before the court
house at StatesbQro, and they will 80
from there TO Screven county, where they
will speak together also Sept T.
They expect to do some good work
IN this section. and are making
arrangements TO do it effectively. When
they speak there will no doubt be large
delegations present at Statesbor0 from
the counties which border Bulloch. There
were some representatives at the meet
ing this week from Iattnall. ScFeven,
k,ttingham and Bryan, and there is no
doubt that Atkinson and Bacon together
will draw large crowd from ali these
sections when they appear at Statesboro
