Gen. Weaver IN Georgia.


Gen. Viewers first speech in Georgia in
this campaign will be delivered at Way
cross to-day. The adherents of the third
party are preparing to give him an euthu-
siastic welcome. 1t is greatly to be re-
GREETED that the manager Of the third party
campaign in this state refused to permit q
| joint discussion between Gen. Weaver aud
Senator Gordon or Congressman Turner or
some other prominent democrat. His re-
fusal is open 10 the Interpretation that he
was afraid that Gen. Weaver would not be
able to successfully defend the third party
demands.
Gen. Weaver is not a great stump speaker.
When he made speeches In company with
mrs. Lease in this state a number Of months
ago, on the pretense OF discussing alliance
doctrines, but. in reality, for the purpose OF
establishing the Peoples party. he attracted
very little attention. There was much
greater desire to hear and see Mrs. Lease
than there was to hear what be had to say.
And be would not attract large audiences
during his present visit if it were not for the
fact that he is the third psrty's presidential
candidate.
He can do the Democratic party no harm.
Even if he we're a powerful stump speaker
10 would be about impossible for him TO
make favorable impression upon Georgia
| audience. His record is against him. There
is nothing init to show that he ever had
kindly feeling for the southern people, and
much to show that until be became oon-
nected with the third party and ga"
u q. -
chance to get help in the south Tor that
party. he was pronounced south hater.
| There Is nothing to show that he has re-
| pented OF his utteranoes against the south
ern people, and the inference that he now
represses bis sentiments with respect to the
south for policy sake Is justihable.
His letter OF acceptance shows that he be-
Iieves the statements of the Republican
party that there is no such thing as free
ballot and fair count in the south. He does
not say frankly that he believes that the
democrats IN the south are ballot-box
suffers, but he strongly intimates that
such Is his belief, thus showing that his
views relative to elections in the south are
similar to those of the Republican party,
OF which he was conspicuous member.
He will be given a respectful and attent-
i've hearing. Hell Ia entitled to that, but he
ought to be asked about the bitter utter
ances against the southern people attributed
to him. Some of these utterances are al
legged to have been made on the floor OF con-
greSs in recent years. he cannot have for
gotten them, II he made them. AS he comes
begging for the help Of southern men, he
ought to be required to show that be is en-
titled to their help While every courtesy
will be extended to him. he can hardly hope
to be permitted to conduct his campaign in
Georgia without being called upon to ex-
plain the things IN his record that justify
the conclusion that he has no love for the
south or her people.

The democrats at Way cross to-day, in
their reception of Gen. Weaver. will pro-
badly set the pace for democrats of the
other sections of the state he will visit.
Therefore, it is to be hoped that there will
be no demonstrations of physical charac-
ter against him. He has said many bard
things about the south and southern men
it is true, and he should be made to know
that both his personality and his teachings
are objectionable to GeorGians. But there
should not be anything done that would
afford him the slightest .pretext for posing
as martyr TO his political cenvictions-if,
indeed, he has any.

James B. Weaver.

From the Charleston Netos and Courier Dem }.
He was in no proper sense a soldier at all
He was robber AID plunderer. He used his
military power to seize upon and appropriate
the property of non-combaIants. He perse-
less. Like the bandit chief that he was, he
seized upon the persons OF private citizens and
made them pay ransom for their release. After
the war when he could no longer employ his
rufflan soldiery TOR purposes of robbery and op.
preston, he became the vilest calum niator of
the south and the southern people in the land.
He declared that the only fault he had TO ind
with the Republican party was that IL was too
merciful to those southern TRAITORS" whom he
thought worthy OF being shot or hanged. And
this is the man, this robber chief, this defamer
of the confederate soldier and of all the men
and women OF the south. whom some people
want the south to help to elect President Of the
United Statesl

President Harrison's position during the
last ten days has been one to excite the
sympathy of everybody, without respect to
party. In the midst of a warm political
campaign his wife was stricken down with
an illness that threatens fatal results, and
upon this came the cholera, menacing the
country. With these three matters in
mind, it may well be imagined that the
President has passed many an uneasy hour
at Loon Lake recently. Mrs. Harrison's
improved condition, reported yesterday,
was good news to all sympathetic Ameri-
cans.

Peck's Confession.

The leading republican papers do not seem
10 be able to say enough about the report of
Mr.. Peck, the labor commissioner of New
York. Day after day they publish articles
commencing 1t and pointing to ID as proof
that in New York at least the effect of the
Mckinley bill has been to raise the wages
of workingmen.
But nobody seems to be able 10 find any
Of the workingmen whose wages have been
raised, and Commissioner Peek refuses to
name any Of the manufacturers who,
according to his story, reported to him in
writing that they had raised the wages Of
their employees.
Commissioner Peck cannot produce any
of the papers furnished him by manufact-
urers, and upon which he says he based
his report, for the reason that he burned
them. Why did he burn them9
Aday or two ago Congressman Springer,
in an interview In Chicago relative TO
| Peck's statement that he burned the papers
| upon which he based his report, said: IA
| public officer who will burn documents on
which he bases an importans report con-
fesses that he has poor cass. A man who
has good case will not destroy his evidence
| will he's II Is a confession that he cannot
prove what he claims"
1t is quite evident that there are no dem
ocrats, and few, IL any, republicans, who
believe that Peck's report is based
upon information obtained from man
ufacturers. The republicans pretend,
of course, that they believe the res
port 70 be a thoroughly honest one
because ii suits their purpose to do so, but
in view OF the fact that it is impossible to
find any manufacturers in New York who
have raised toe wages Of their employees or
any employees who have had their wages
raised since the Mckinley tariff went into
operation there IS no reason why repub-
licans should have any more confidence In
Peck's report THAI democrats.
An effort is being made to find out Peck's
motive for making such a report. If the
truth should he discovered 1t would prob
ably creste a much greater sensation IN po-
itcal circles than the report did

The Republican party in the south
never was able to stand prosperity, and
now even the shadow of prosperity has
the same effect upon 1t that blow with
a stick upon the back has upon jointed
snake-it flies all to pieces. The third party
movement in North Carolina gave the re-
publicans Of that state chance to do some-
thing this fall, but no sooner was the oppor-
tunity afforded than factional rows in the
&. o. p. began, and they have continued until
the party is hardly deserving OF the name.

Declaration of a Great Reformer.

from the Louisville Courier-Journol dem }.
The needs Of the government are steadily ad-
vancing. Presently they will reach a figure not
much less than S400. 000, 900. At least twothirds
of this vast sum will have to be raised through
the custom houses and that circumstance offers
a sure bar TO any rash adventures in tariff legis-
lation if such were meditated by the democrats.
But, in truth, they are not We denounce the
robber tariff We denounce the fraud Of pro-
lection. We declare that the government has
no right, constitutional or otherwise, 70 raise a
dollar by taxation except for its own uses,
economically administered, and we PROPOSE
when we get the power, to put our revenue sys-
tenn in a state of transition from the policy of
protection, which now prevails, to a policy of
free trade. which shall prevail. In other words,
we shall begin by reducing the war tariff to a
peace footing, coming as fast as the require
ment of public affairs allow--a most vexatious
obstacle and Limitation TO reform-to "a tariff
for revenue only" as promised by our national
prospectus.
