WILCOX DEMOCRATS.
They Will Garry the County by a
Large Majority.

Abbeville, Ga, Sept. 26.-Yesterday
was field day for democracy in Wilcox
county. Judge Crisp addressed the larg-
est audience perhaps that ever assembled
in the county, and for two hours elo-
quently and forcibly expounded demo-
cratic doctrines. His speech aroused
much enthusiasm, and if there was a pop
ulist present he discreetly concealed his
identity.
In the afternoon w. J. Campbell of
Campbell county and w. ]. Arnold, pop
ulists, addressed a large audience, and
were rep lied 10 by Col. Tom TAYLOR of
Hawkinsville and Col. d. b. Nicholson
of Abbeville The young dis
ciples of Tom Watson were
accorded respectful hearing, but made
no impression on the rock ribbed demo-
Gratis of Wilcox. Col TAYLOR followed
the first speaker, and literally demol-
ished him. He eulogized President Cleve-
land and was chcered TO the echo. and
his advocacy Of sound money was enthu-
siasticaly indorsed Col y. b. Nichol-
son made forcible address and poured
hot shot into the populists. He was fol-
lowed by Col. Arnold, who is a bright
young man, but his eloquence was like
the desert flower, doomed to waste its
sweetness. Out of the large audience of
several hundred people, there was prob
ably half dozen populists. Wilcox will
poll a practically solid democratic vote
Judge Smith was attacked with fever
on Monday and court was adjourned in
consequence, 10 the fourth Monday in
October.

TRICKY PoPULISTs.
Secretary of State Discovers Dupi-
cate Election Blanks.


Atlanta, Ga, Sept. ga populist trick
that is yet something of puzzle to the
democratic mana gers came to light to-
day, through Col Allan Gambler, secre-
tary Of state.
Three weeks ago Col. Gambler sent out
the blanks for the election TO the ordi-
naries Of the counties, as the law re
quires. The packages of blanks were re-
ceived duly and acknowledged, and the
matter was dismissed from the mind Of
the secretary of state Yesterday after
noon, however, he was handed package
by the pOstman, who said package stamps
had been neglected. Col. Gambler opened
the package and found that it contained
full set of election blanks. similar to
those he had sent out. The pack
age had not come from his Office,
however, and was addressed to a citizen
instead of an ordinary
The populists are evidently preparing a
scheme of some sort in connection with
the duplicate blanks. The timely dis
covery by Secretary Gambler has. how
ever, put the democratic managers on
notice, and the populists will be closely
atched on the day of the election. 1t is
thought that the intention was TO substi-
tute bogus returns for the regular ones.
Senator Gordon reached the city
this morning. He was one of
the visitors to democratic head
quarters, where he went TO discuss
the situation and tender his services from
now on TO the day of election. Chairman
Clay at once made an appointment for
Senator Gordon to speak with Gen.
Evans at Gainesville tomorrow. He
will also speak with Judge Crisp at But
Ter on oct. l, and at other places that
may be assigned him by the state COM
mittee.
Hon. Fleming duBignon was also a Wis
itor at democratic headquarters to-day.

at the Fifth avenue hotel, is defendant in

wealthy. She was a graduate Of the
Ladies Seminary at Ithica, an annex Of

them. In 1886 Col. Gage, said to be worth
81 900, became a member of the
Mcneil household here. After year
or so the colonel took up his residence
elsewhere, but it is alleged that his re-
lations with the family were not broken
of.
There are stories of Nvery expensive
presents made to Mrs. Mcneil without
her husband S knowledge, and finally the
discovery by him of number of letters
written by the colonel; letters such as no
man could permit his wife to receive.
A separation was the result, and about
six weeks ago Mcneil began a suit, claim
ing that Col. Gage had been intimate
with Mrs. Mcneil and subsequently had
alienated her affections. Judgment was
asked for in the sum of 100000 At the
same time Mcneil sued his wife for abso-
