said: "If were not democrat I would
be raithless 10 my people and my God, aud
am here as an old schoolmats Of Con
gresham Watson to warn the people against

noble a man to-day as then, and II Mr..
Watson thought he was such patriot why
should he now make such ContemPtibe
hing at hmm by saying he was reigner.
| have been led TO support the lennOor soy
for the same reason that Mr.. Watson did in
| years ago. After a patriotic citizen re-
| views the demands OF the democracy and
| the third party, aud then concludes to vote
| for the latter, | have nothing more to say.
| Who has caused div. zion among the people!
| We are told that brother is against br Their,
and that the county committee 10
| divided. All patriots should forget all
| persons and parties and stand
firm in advocacy Of the principles
| which will benefit our common country. Is
everything all right in this country}
GEoRGIA's ALLEGED DANGER
I'VE are told Georgia is in danger. Who
is responsible for the bad legislation under
which tue people have grown restlessI Mr.
| Watson says the Democratic party is re-
! sponslUle A more infamous falsehood
never emanated from the throat OF any
man, and want the third parry men to
tell Mr.. Watson what say. haven't had
| an opportunity to meet him since congress
| adjourned, though no had said he was not
| going to give much attention to the Tenth
! but would invade other districts. Tho third
| party 10 sick unto death in my district, and
the nominee has declined to make the race.
| Mr. Watson says, in order 70 catch the
negro vote, that he mad an old family
servant on his place he lets hoe cotton.
| l have an old family servant on
my place and have told him to quit
hoeinR cotton. Mr.. Watson says there Is
no difference between the Republican aud
Democratic parties. Any intelligent school
| boy will refute this statement Mr.. Watson
| says that in 1850 taxation was 81 per cap
ita; to-day it is s. The former was dem.
! la
administration, and he says there Is no diff
ference. Georgia pays $40 900, 900 in taxes,
half the value Of her cotton crop. The
democrats tried to reduce the tax on every
thing the poor man buys. We want the
votes OF the oolored people, but so help US
God we will not try to deceive you to get
your votes. Mr.. Watson says II you vote
for him ne will see you get your rights.
We say we will give you your rights
whether you vote with us or not. He
says wipe out the color line in
politics. II you wipe it off
the voter why not the candidate2 He wants
you to vote for him, but won't vote for you.
TBt FARMER IN CONGRESS.
81 am a farmer. Every dollar l have is
invested in a farm. Mir. Watson SAYS the
farmer has no friend in congrass This is
not true. The farmer has more friends In
congress than any other class The mem
bers know better than to oppose measures
that benefit the farmerS Mr.. Watson d.
vided the alliance and the membership
dwindled from $1,000 to 1870 II you
send him back to congress respectable pee
pie In other parts OF the state will want 30
cut the Tenth district out of the state. He
was elected as a democrat two years ago
Now he denounces the party. Hon. B. Fl.
Hall said. mo man who accepts q commits
sion from one party has a right TO execute
II in the name of another"
The representative Of the people
should show fidelity to the trnst
given him. When do such a thing want
my name taken away from my children.
Has Mr.. Watson done anything in con-
gressl 1t was all he could do to stay there
himself [Laughtsrl Mr.. Watson is like a
achoolboy calculating how soon . frog could
jump out OF well at one foot day and
fall back two at night, who said If he had
two more states be would have the frog in
hell. II we follow Mr.. Wa son we will 20
down to a political he'll in Georgia MIR.
Watson said the wool bill hit the farmer
Then why did he vote for it, He also said
it reduced the tariff on raw material. buJ
not clothing. When told that his stafe-
ment was not true he frankly
admitted that he had not read
the bill. Is such man the
kind to follow! II Mr. Watson was demo
crat some Of you third party men would be
also. If there is a lady in the audience who
has a husband with no head of his owl. for
heavens sake go home, get a divorce and
marry a man. Mr.. Mex eighan, a third
party congressman, opposed the SUD
treasury bill"
THE THIRD PARTY PLATFORM.
The speaker reviewed the third party
platform in scathing terms, especially the
land and railroad plAnks, and said II the
Giro lation increases to $50 per capita 1t
would take more than all this money to pay
back the pensions that some VI them are on
record as favoring, and there would be
nothing left to buy railroads. Direct
taxes would have to be laid on
the states, not in proportion to
wealth and ability to pay, but according to
population. Every inhabitant in Washing
ton EQUITY would have to pay $1S4 You
would have to mortgage your properly and
sell these beautiful women TO pay the debt.
Ihe hope not only of America, but human
liberty, demands that we stand together in
resisting the encroachment Of the ideas en-
bodied In the Peoples party demands. II
We should fall we will fall never to rise
again. Mr. Moseg speech was strong and
convincing, and was frequently interrupted
by tremendous applause as he scored point
after point and exposed Mr.. Watson's false
statements.
