and a committee. They were escorted TO
the hall by leading Republicans, white and
colored besides many well-known men
formerly Democrats. Chairman Martin in
troduced Major Hanson. who was greeted
with applause. The views set forth by
Major Hanson were formally adopted as
the platform of the league.
Political conditions in the South are un-
natural. illogical and wrong" he said, and
upon the Judgment of our best men ought
To change and must change. Alive TO the
Importance of the proper settlement OF the
great economic question now before the
country and realizing the grave dangers
arising from modern political agitation, the
Southern people have determined 10 proper
ly perform their duties as citizens. He
felt that the grave risks incurred in the
last campaign were compensated for in
some parts by two of its resulys-the cTeac
ton of a demand for q higher standard Of
citizenship and the development of a more
earnest patriotism In Georgia TINS was
evidenced by the fact that thousands did
not vote as they desired to vote last year.
while tens of thousands did not vote at all -
because they were opposed TO the revolu-
tionary doctrines of the Chicago platform,
though unwilling TO leave the Democratic
party.
After alluding to the threats that the
ISSUES of 1885, would have to be again met
in 1898 and 1900. Major Hanson asked: IF
so, what do the people of Georgia and the
South propose to do? Upon which side of
the line drawn i'm the recent campaign do
they propose TO array themselves when
the battle is renewed? Upon one side of
this line we find all the lawless and revolu-
tionary elements of the country and upon
the other side the countrys law-abiding,
conservative forces"

nature is TO be blamed. She has been more

Let us rather recognize our own ignorance
