during his remarks
Hon. S. A. londonderry. Jr., of Thomas
county, talented young orator of South
Georgia, delivered one OF the best
speeches ever listened to in South Geor-
gia, consuming one hour, during which
John Brooks, one of the third party
representatives, interrupted him several
times, and while he was treated kindly,
Brooks was greatly enlightened, like a
great many others present, with good
sound democratic doctrine.
A. q. Gowen, nominee of the third
party for representative, was expected to
be present, but failed to show up. Later
it was learned he was in F'olkston, solitic-

themselves TO be caught and the third
party will be showed under.

and Clarke Howell spoke 10 over 800 en-
thusiastic democrats in the opera house
Tonight. speaker Crisp was introduced
by Capt. Willie Burnett, and was greeted
with much applause He was at his best.
and made most lucid, logical and con
vincing argument for democracy. He said
he came to make no apology for their past
record IN congress, but on that
record to demand the support
OF all friends of rood and honest
government. His ridicule of the popu-
lists vagaries and the bills introduced
IN congress by their representatives ellie
TIED much laughter. Democracy's de.
feat, SAID he, means republican TRUMP
for no sane man could believe that the
popullsts stood now or ever would stand
ghost of chance.
Editor Howell was introduced by Prof
Henry White, and made a fine speech
supplementary TO that of Speaker Crisp.

Of every one present, and for half an hou
talked logically TO the negro, which re
