Mr.. Watson. / will tell you one
thing my friends, you are not max

group of disturbers.) Sit down, you
men over there, Sit down. Be-
have yourselves.
Mr.. Watson. I say this, that the
Peoples party proposes to do what
Henry Grady said ought to be done,
what the Farmers Alliance said
ought to be done, namely, to bury
the bloody shirt and tell the politi-
tlcians that we do not intend to al
ways be kept divided with partisan
politics, giving them chance to rob
the people of both sections. We
propose to re-establish fraternity be-
tween the South and the West to
have a union between the South and
the West. And we propose in do
ing this to carry the principles upon
which the rich and the poor, the
farmer, the laborer and the mechanic,
the man of the city and of the vii
lage can stand. With these pledges
we propose to go forward under the
Peoples party banner rehabilitating
the temple of liberty, dedicated to
all races, colOrs and conditions.

speech.
I am glad to say that Mr.. Watson
has discussed the questions on one
line at least, the political issues that
distract the country. If that is cor
rect, you ought to listen with all the
listening powers you have got. In
formation is what we want, and we
will soon have you all on the side of
the Democratic party. Iaughter).
