| SAILED INTO THR OLD PARTIES.
Mrs. Lease sailed into both the old par
ties right and left and ridiculed their plat
forms and their methods without stint.
| and sectionalism for their own benefit, she
said, and by this means only were they ena-
bled to keep IN power
The Peoples party, she declared, was the
party OF fraternity and right and justice,
and il put in power 1t would not cease its
efforts until every difficulty OF the people
was adjusted and every ragged boy on the
streets taken care Of.
| The Peoples party had swept both of the
old parties out of the way out west. she
said. In Colorado four out Of every five
votes would be cast for Weaver and Field,
and in Nevada the old parties haven't
| enough members left to name a committee
The same state of affairs exists In the other
western states. In Kansas they propose
this year to elect everything from dog
catcher to governor.
HANDICAPPED BY THEIR LEADERS.
The old parties, she said were so handi-
capped by their leaders that il the third
party were to cease its efforts they would
| both die natural death. Mrs. Lease was
| telling the old anecdote about the doctors
| who were going to find out what allied the
patient at the post mortem, referring to she
early decease Of the old parties, when she
was interrupted by such a long drawn out,
| lugubrious sign Of approval from the gal
| leries that she was unable TO control herself
and burst out laughing in the midst OF the
| anecdote.
Mrs. Lease was literally applauded dur
| ing her speech by democrats and third party
men alike.
Gen. Weaver, In his speech, condemned
the charges against him of misconduct at
Pulaski, Tenn, as false.
REQUESTED A CORRECTION.
MIR. Horton, the Journal representative
at Waycross yesterday, also happened to be
the correspondent who looked up Gen.
| Viewers record as Pulaski. Mr.. Horton
| addressed note to Gen. Weaver while Mrs.
| Lease was speaking, stating that the state
| ments In the Journal were not made upon
its own responsibility. but strictly upon
the authority Of other parties whose
names we're given. He requested that Gen.
| Weaver make the correction, as he had
made asweeping charge Of falseness against
the reports as whole. Gen. Weaver prob
ably did not read the note carefully. He
arose and stated that the correspondent of
the Journal requested that it be announced
that the Journal had not made the charges
upon its own authority, but had merely
copied them from other papers.
HORTON CoRRECTs WEAVER.
Mr.. Horton interrupted Gen. Weaver
and corrected his correction, stating that
the Journal had not copied the charges
from other papers, but published them
upon the sworn statements OF parties at
Pulaski, Tenn.
Gen. Weaver accepted Mr.. Horizons
statement without saying anything further
for himself.
Mr.. Horton had several OF the sworn
affidavits in question in his pocket and
would have drawn them at once had Gen.
Weaver attempted any further discussion Of
the point.
Gen. Weaver and Mrs. Lease speak at
| Albany to-day. The meeting is expected
to be little hvelier than yesterdays meet
ing at Wayoross.
THE SMALL ATTENDANCE.
Well posted citizens of Waycross when
questioned as to the reason OF the smallness
OF the attendance upon Gen. Weavers adj
dress said that there were not over fifty
third party men in the county and that
with two or three exceptions they were Of
the most ignorant GLASS. A large part of
the crowd yesterday came from other
counties, and then there were more demo~
Gratis present than third party men.
