some Figures to Study.
Colonel Atkinson chen reviewed the fig
mes OF the last campaign to show the
third party people how hopeless was their
cause.
He showed how, while they had polled
IS 800 votes in the election Tor governor
they had fallen off to 1888 IN the November
election The democrats had carried the
state by over II 600 in the race for governor
and in November-immediately following
had carried the state by a majority Oh

He showed the hopelessness OF the popu-
list cause by pointing to the fact that of
the $40 electoral votes the populsts had
only succeeded in securing q and most
of these were given them by democratic
votes in order to beat the republican party
out of them.
Coming down to the state ticket, Colo
mel Atkinson took it up from the top to
the bottom and showed how not one single
man on the ticket had carried his home
county. This statement he proved by the
figures and it made a decided impression
upon the crowd.
''No," said he, "the third party is good
for only one thing. The only thing they
can do is to raise a row. | have been all
over Georgia." said he, "and they're the
sickest set / ever S Nv.
Colonel Atkinson concluded with u strong
address to the colored people who were
present, showing that the democrats were
their best friends and had done for them
every thing that had been done for them,
providing school facilities for their children
and being their friends in every respect.
The speech a strong one throughout
and made q deep impression upon all who
heard 1t. The speaker was frequently and
heartily applauded and in the two or three
tits he had with the third party people
who interrupted him he completely dis
ccmfited the interrupters and caught the
crowd.
