MR.. WATsON's SPEECH.
Mr., Watson was in fine voice and made
grand speech. After asking his audience
to stand with him in bis attack upon their
enemies and the Wall street capitalists. he
went at length into discussion Of the two
great principles of our government: The
one represented by Thomas Jeffer-
soma government by and for
the people; the other by Alexander Hamil-
ton, the advocate Of national banks and
plutocracy. He then affirmed all that he
had said in his Atlanta speech, and illus
trated his position by the reply Of the
woman who was suing for a divorce. When
asked If she was married she said Eyes"

her marriage she said she had three living

HIS IDEAS OF DEMOCRACY.
He said that Jeffersonian democracy de-
manded three things-free silver, free cur
rency and free tariff, with an abolition Of
the national banks He said he had done
IN Atlanta what he would to-day-criticize
the errors of the leaders OF the Democratic
party, and nothing more. He said that
Calvin Brice, the chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee, was a national
banker, and as corrupt as Matthew Quay.
THE sUB-TREAsURY ARGUMENT.
He then took up the subject Of the SUBJ
treasury, and said he could best illustrate
his position by saying that if a farmer
wanted to buy plantation for S6 an acre
he could, under the sub-treasury plan,
borrow "a per acre from the government at
low rate of interest. He could impro We
the place by building houses and improving
the land so that If the seller had to take it
back the other 81 per acre would be secured
by the improvements made. He said that
any tenant under this system could
In ten years pay for his
home by paying the same as be does now
for rent. He affirmed that he was a candi-
date for no other position than the one he
now holds; that his law books had been
burned, and he only had few of the Geor-
gia reports, which he sold to a young man
who wanted them; that he was now draw
ing his salary as a congressman, and he
wanted to be true to his constituents by try
ing to earn his s14 per day that he was now
drawing.
MRS. LEASES ADDRESS.
Mrs. M. A. Lease spoke q short while be-
fore dinner, and about one and half hours
after dinner. She complimented Mr.. Wat
son by saying that the west would take such
a man as Mr.. Watson as their candidate for
President in 1892, and they would be satisfied
with the second place. She arraigned the
leaders of both parties for their failure to
air the farmers side. She was ready to 20
into the Peoples party, and said that the
farmers were going to have what they de-
manded In the Ocala platform.
Her speech was replete with eloquence
and torcible illustrations Of the farmers
