DR.. Kendrick does not get but one
VOTE he said, 'that vote will be mine y
Mr.. Fletcher was of the opinion that
all the farmers did not think like Mr..
Jennings. They had changed their choice
OF parties, and had a right to choose
other men-men in sympathy with their
movement.
Here Chairman Martin called Mr.. Cas-.
tleoerry TO the chair and took the floor.
Mr.. Martin said he did not want to throw
any luslnuatlons upon DR.. Kendrick, but
he was Peoples party man and it
was his duty to speak in the interest of
his party. When he was a Democrat he
was sure enough Democrat Now that
he is Peoples party man he will be one
In the true sense of the word. 1.-THE
democrats will grant us nothing, and as
Peoples party men we cannot concede
them anything, and I am sorry there are
some who can't fully endorse this motion,
but grant them the privilege of voting as
they wish" Mr.. Martins talk was earn
estly delivered, but was conservative
throughout.
Colonel Christie arose again. He
thought every Peoples party man should
vote for men in sympathy with them.
DR.. Kendrick was not in sympathy with
them, and when they cut loose from Dr.
Hendricks party had right to cut loose
from Kendrick also. If they would ap-
proach DR.. Kendrick and explain the
situation to him, as gentlem an he would
excuse them from: any obligation that
they may be under.
The motion was adopted, and nomina-
tons were declared in order.
Mr.. j. j. Taylor nominated Hon. VIM.
Martin, and he was chosen by acclama-
ton.
Mr.. Martin was apparently much
touched, and expressed thanks for the
honor, saying that he did not expect to
be elected, but if he should be he would
RECOGNIZE the rights of the whole people,
irrespective of party, and would do his
best to serve them well.
Col. Christie took the floor at the con-
clusion of Mr.. Martins speech of accept
ance and said he hoped the Peoples
party of Terrell county had entered into
the movement feeling that they were do
| ing right, and that they would put forth
| every effort for success.
A motion made by II. T. LoylesS that
the proceedings of the meeting be pub
lisLed in the Peoples Party Paper, South
ern Alliance Farmer and Bainbridge
Globe, with SPECIAL request that other
papers reporting the meeting tell the
truth, was adopted, after which the Peo-
pies party mass meeting adjourned.
Hon. VIM. Martin,
the Peoples party nominee for the leg.
islature, is native of Ireland, coming 10
this country when a boy and settling in
Houston county. He came from Houston
to Terrell a number of years ago, and has
since been good citizen of this county.
He has served the people as county
commissioner, and has been prominent
in alliance circles since it's inception. If
our memory serves us correctly, he is
now vice-president of the county alliance.
He is an honest and clever man and is
generally wei thought of, and were he
in the Democratic fold would make a
much better race.
The Executive Committee Meets.
| Immediately after the adjournment of
| the mass meeting the executive commit
tee met and elected Mr.. Lott Jennings
chairman. The only other business done
was to pass resolution asking that they
be given one election manager at each
precinct.

SO the third party is with us. What
shall we do with it? The Democrats will
answer positively on the 9TH of October
next

Mr.. II. Christie will not serve on the

without his knowledge or consent.
