man OF whom we nay all feel proud as
citizen of our State. But what is he 2 |
| ask. Does he agree with YOU upon |
he question of monopolies? /? Where do
you find him You find him nearly at
the head OF one Of the greatest mon0po-
lies IN the United States TCheeyiDp au1
applause Gou find him in charge
seven thousand five hundred miles Of
railroad continued appiaueel, which.
like the octopus with its venomous head
resting upon the mountain top. stretches
its tentaclliferous shape through tie
south aud sucks the life blood of It's pao-
pc. Tremendous cheering He has
written two Communications signed
Georgia, and, so far as | kn0w, upon
these two communications rests his
character as a statesman, his friendship
for the Alliance and his devotion to
| your cause. Laughter and applause.
Back OF this stands the record
of Mr.. Calhoun. | DO not speak
Of his reputation as man,
| but as a tinancier. Whatever reputation
he has made has been by forming combi-
nations of railroads, and by manipula-
ting bonds and stocks. Now, gentlemen,
do You know anything for which he is
celebrated except these things? Il you
do, name them and viii give him credit
for it. Cheers and derisive laughter.
And now with bis knee upon your neck
as a mOnopolst be comes before the
people Of the State and asks them to
send him to the United States Senate to
guard their interest. Renewed laughter
and applause Will you commit the
Alliance to the world as nursing moth
err Will the mother throw her babe to
the hungry lion ? Ii 50 send Pat Cal
houn, the monopolist, the railroad mag
nate, the man who has made his money
out of you by manipulating stocks and
bonds, to the United States Senate to
guard your interest; and when you do,
or before you do, ask your friends to sue
out commission of lunacy and send
you to the asylum.
Now, my friends, there is the logic
of the Alliance action There were four
candidates before the caucus-a anyhow
there were three-one was Judge Hines,
the other was Mr.. Calhoun and the other
was myself. There was fourth candi-
date-Gov Gordon.
Nov, the objections to Gov Gordon
are twofod FIRST, his objection to the
| connection with the railroad monoa0
lists Now, the objection to General
] Gordon, as said, is based upon tae sub
treasury plan and his connection with
the monopolists. Excepting the sub
t treasury plan, does not the same ohicc
ton hold as to Mr. Pat Calhoun If you
can approve of the one, why can you not
Of the other? More applause
