POLITICS AT coRDELE.
Berner and Harris on the Political
Issues of the Day.

BeFner and Harris on the Political
Issues of the Day.
Cordele, Ca, Sept. 26.-Messrs. N. E.
Harris and r. L. Berner addressed our
citizens to-day on political issues. The for
mer went into detail on the national cam
paign, and especially dwelt upon the
financial issue. He did his best for the sill
yer cause, but advanced reasons for Ger
many and France adopting the gold stand
ard, which was very. good argument for
the wisdom and policy of such a system.
He touched up the populist in good shape
and showed The absurdity and impracti-
cability of their platform.
Mr.. Berner made a stirring appeal to all
democrats and populists to put aside per-
sonal prejudces and feelings, and support
the Chicago democratic nominees. He said
Mr.. Watson was a personal friend that he
loved, but could not support, as he CWat-
SOM had donned the robes of populism. He
devoted his speech principally to the state
campaign, reviewing the creditabIe id
ministrations and expanding developments
of the state under the democratic party.
Mr. Berners review of populism, national
and state was splendid, and showed the
rapid declination of the misguided prodi-
gals.
He referred to two or three planks of
their state platform to show that the
primary object of populism Is office
first. then national, state, county and mu-
ncipal bankruptcy. The populist atten-
ton was invited to the fact that, nation
ally, they had no sufficiently intellectual
man to select for President, and had to
select for their governor. man who
represented no party.
Both speeches were punctuated by apt
Illustrations. They held the au-
dience's attention and entertain-
ed them for over three hours
Both speakers spoke in the most
creditable and praiseworthy terms of Gov.
Atkinson and his administration.

This cable was from Deputy Consul
Khouri, and gives the first detailed in
formation of Mr. Gibson's sickness and
death. The DR.. Graham referred to is
a warm personal friend whom Mr.. Glib
son has mentioned in his letters home
and the family now feel satisfied that he
had every attention. The cable also set
ties the question which has frequently
been asked by his friends about the re-
turn Of his remains to his home. This
will not be DONE as the family have rea-
son to believe his burial there was at his
own wish. Frequently he has comment
ed upon the shipment OF remains long
distances and has expressed the wish
that should he die away from home that
ne be buried wherever he might die.
