AUGUSTA, Ga, Oct. 9.-The largest Re-
publican rally held since reconstruction
days in Georgia took place tonight. The
Grand Opera House was comfortably filled
and a. large part Of the white side of the
house was occupied by Democrats drawn
to hear the old commander, General Long
street and Major J. f. Hansen. the latter
being a manufacture of cotton goods at
Macon, Ga. Col A. E. Buck, the Republic
an leader of Georgia, also delivered q short
address. General Longstreet was unable to
speak, owing to throat trouble from the
wound which he received at the battle of
the Wilderness and the speech he had pre-
pared was read from the platform. General
Longstreet sat on the stage and heard the
old rebel yer' from number of his old
soldiers who, although Democrats, turned
out to do honor to their old commander.
On his arrival in the city a salute of thir-
teen guns was fired by ex-Confederate
Democrats General Longstreets address
was in part follows:
When people feel the pinch Of hard
times it is unpatriotic to make incendiary
appeals to their prejudice and seek to
arouse the masses against the mythical
classes, debtor against creditor, poor
against rich, employe against employer,
and section against section, in times of

financial standard without weakening the
confidence of the people in their own gov
eminent, besides mourning the distrust and
contempt of the great family of nations.
General LOngStreet reviewed the depre-

This silver craze merely points the ardu-
Gus long way all nations must YEARLY
travel who wrongfully seek a nigh cut to
prosperity by a money debauch. Seventy
markets where the single gold standard
prevails and regulates prices, and how can
this wild project change the standard of
value and force UP the level of prices in
Europe, and particularly in England? 1t is
a grave error to assume that the gold
! standard is the enemy of Silver-it is its
only protection. There can only be one
standard coin measure of value and
legal tender for all others
General LOngStreet quoted figures SHOW
ing, as he said, the increase of the Souths
wealth. while on q gold basis and said:
Our trade relations are, not with the six
YER but with the East and with England,
France and Germany. and if we would con-
suit and vote for our material interests we
might make the South the seat and center
OF the money power and have more pluto
Gratis and fewer paupers down here" Gen
eral Iongstreet closed with an appeal for
protection and the Republican ticket.
