RICHMOND cOUNTYs PoPuLIsTs.
Each Faction Holds Meeting and
DenOunccs the Other.

DenOunccs the other.
Augusta, Ga, June 12-The popullsts of
Richmond county seem to be badly split
up. They held two mass meetings to-day,
one at the Augusta court house, and one
at Gracewood or the Augusta Southern
railroad. James Barrett was the leader
of the Gracewood faction, and charged
the Augusta faction with being A. =. AS
The Augusta meeting numbered about
thirty-five, and the Greenwood meeting,
with the attraction of a free barbecue
thrown in, got out only twice this many.
Both factions elected delegates to the
state convention.
The Augusta meeting was presided over
by W. c. Chapman and adopted resolu-
tions condemning James Barrett and look
ing with disgust and Indignation on his
course" and declaring II IAN outrage
upon common deceney." They sympa-
thlze with misguided brethren who have
been "misled by demagogues and traitors, &"
but condemn each one Of the little com
pany OF three or four who have, by their
treachery, Jeopardized the usefulness of
our party and proved themselves unWor-
thy OF membership" They deny the A.
p. A. charge. and claim to be middle-of-
the-road populists.
The Oracswood meeting called by Chair
man Barrett, was presided over by Silas
Reed, and the leading feature was the
speech Of Mr.. Barrett, denouncing the
editors OF the Daily Tribune, the populst
organ here. He said he would not waste
time on the fool Cartledge, but would
address his remarks to the "knave" Hem
mig. lie reviewed the history Of Hennig
on the wool hat and the Daily Tribune,
denounclng his course in unmeasured
terms and declaring him "red-mouthed
republican, anarchist and foreigner"
The outlook for populist harmony in
Richmond is gloomy. When It Is borne in
mind that two rival meetings and an the
excitement that the split has occasioned,
supplemented by a barbecue, could only
call out 100 men to the two meetings. II

London, June 12.-The past week has
seen the arrival OF numerous military de-

'"rhe Cuban side, for certainty, have at
least 10000 to 5000 men to-day armed and
