LIV[NGSTON'S CRUSADE.
Hg MAKES A DEPARTURE FROM
TIE ROUTINE SPhECBf S.


ATLANTA, GA, July 1.-The alliance
,oaders held forth at Hogansville to-day.
Can Weaver and jerry Simpson spoke
,,bstentiallv as heretofore quoted. Presi-
dent livingston, however. made depart
,ra from the routine. "Our people have
NOT aligned themselves with any political
marty. said he. ~ told you Gen. Weaver
and Jerry Simpson did not come down here
to talk third party, and they have
m. done SO. They didn't come here
totalk democracy or republicanism, aud
they haven't done il, either. There are
some people who think every time you say
ANYTHING that you are talking about them.
The alliance, in or out of Georgia, ia not
talking about the Democratic or Republican
Iartv. There is no third party. Gen.
Weaver will tell you So"
WEAVER DISAPPOINTED.
81 am disappointed, said Gen. Weaver;
"they are ali one way"
rarity in Georgia" continued Col. Living
ston "but 1t is not there. He finds every
man, woman and child going the
same road. The Georgia state alliance has
not authorized me to talk the third
party. The national meeting at Ocala never
authorized me TO talk the third party. They
neyer instructed me to talk the Democratic
party. | will never go to Oh alliance meet
ing and talk the Democratic party. II there
i, a democratic meeting it may be different.
don't ask Gen. Weaver and Mr.. Simpson
what they talk at republican or third party
meetings; that is none Of my business.
1T is said tAat guilty conscience needs
no accuseT, and when alliaucemen stand up
aad talk straight alliance doctrine there is
always somebody to call it third party.
A PREDICTION.
81 am going TO make prediction. II
neither the Democratic nor Republican
party fights the alliance there will be no
fight on our side against either one of them.
l believe il as honestly as l do that l stand
on this platform. But do you suppose that
we are such set of towards
tnat we are not going to stand true to this
sunny land, true to these women and chill
cren, true to this great constitution of
of Independence Do you suppose we
have lost all respect for everything
that is good aud Rreatl II you do l want
to tell you that the alliance people are not
quite that low down. / have always been
taught that the Democratic party is the
rarty of the people. for the people and by
the people.
THE REPUBLICAN DOCTRINE.
II know one thing about the Republican
party. 1t came into existence in that line,
and said to the Democratic party, which,
from time immemorial had stood on the
platform OF equal rights to all
and special privileges to none,
You democrats are hypocrites. There is
one class you are denying these rights to,
and it is the black man. We believe in
equal rights to all, black and white. On
that they made their fight and won.
want to say, once for all, about this third
party business that our people
have not taken any position whatever.
am not authorized TO do it as
president of the alliance, and no
other man in Georgia is, but l want to say
this, that the ridicule of the opposition,
through political leaders and political news
papers, will do more. and has done more. to
break up the Democratic party than any
alliance organization in this country. The
Democratic party in Georgia since the war
has had very little chance to do good or
evil" [Laughter.l
Mr.. Simpson-That'S right.
THE republicans either had all three de-
partments of the government or the presi>
dent and Senate. In 1884 we got President
Cleveland and the House. That was the
hrst chance we had to show our haud.
THk ISSUE TODAY.
VI am going to tell you something some
fyou may not like. The issue to-day is
not between the democrats of the south, but
between the eastern protective tariff, the
Angle-standard money or gold-bug Demo-
cratic and Republican parties on one
SIDE and the south and northwest
on the other. can't tell
you whether in that contest the democracy
Will be emblazoned on one banner and
republicanism on the other, but mark my
prediction, the fight amt going to be be-
I"een democrats. 1t is going to be between
"oations, it is going to lie between the east
and the west.n
ten. Weaver-Thats where it will be
and we are with you.
Ihe east has the money Of the country
aal the President and Senate. A noted
Eohucian in Wall street made this remark
. tasl thursday: We have got an offer of
@ ,our millions Of money TO carry an eastern
oDen INTO the presidency next time There's
aanght. In the name Of God, is it not about
uLle we should open our eyes. 1t is the
,HSoaey ,So power of the east and Europe against
rus us south and west. l ask you as honest
HIl n 70 look at the thing as it is"
Heie ne stated that at Ocala every west
~ n allanceman voted for the resolution
6Sau-uemnlng the force bill. 1t was not the
n,ti' nettli'ocratic party. but the north western re-.
rtqWolilicans, who defeated the force bill.
doit, nat, said he, was President Cleveland
in-. iiv..g all that time9 Did he go to Wash
wetS ,rsVon and ask congressman to vote and
tbo o'A against the force bill? No; mum was
'uT word with him.
n he Ie was elected by mugwumps and hoped
roaa'i 10 reelected by them; and that was the
laro why he kept quiet. When he could
conid inelped us he was silent, and when be
1u nurt us he wrote that silver letter.
QUEER COMPARISON.
dsrd. IN tell you what 1 think of a
VIII bOcrat IN Georgia. A democrat
swan. could swallow Cleveland could
enco @,iow Harrison. What Is the differ
Hsrri. oetween Cleveland, democrat, and
pea,JIison, republican? Because the alliance
are sPie eet.e are lighting Cleveland YOU say they
il not otenHng the Democratic party. There
tslEinaa word of truth in it. Let US quit
discu.Ks about the third party anC
If - our principles. Are they right
derroo want to 20 to my
'Ppt aatlo Saalo friends everywhere and say;
