A DEMOCRATIC SPEECH.

When the Kimball House lobby
was full of "organHed" Democracy
on Monday night, last week, one war
horse told another war-horse of
speech he had made day or two
before. He said:
Well, they are strong in my county,
and as l have accepted the nominal
ton to run for the Legislature, |
took advantage of a Third party
meeting in one Of the militia dis
tricts and went down to talk to
them. I had difficulty in getting
them to give me time, but by talking
very nicely I succeeded in getting
half an hour. Well, | talked kindly
and tried to wean them from their
heresies. [ said: at does my heart
good to be allowed to talk to the
honest yeomanry of Georgia, the
workers who produce her wealth.
am grieved to see you going off after
strange political gods. You are being
deceived and misled by ofice-seekers
and designing men. I want to tell you
that the grand old Democratic party
is the party of the people; capable
Of securing and granting you all you
want, and pledged to give you relief.
The grand old party invites you to
repent Of your heresies and return
to your true home in her bosom.
Every honest member of the Third
party will find the latch string on
the outside, and on the back porch
there is soap, towel and water, where
he may wash and be cIeansed of his
heresy. But as for the leaders and
office-seekers, those suns Of guns are
not wanted. The Democracy is glad
to be rid of them, as lot of bad
And the warehouses drifted off in
to an experience meeting as to
what = fools the farmers are, any
how, but agreed that the best nurs-
ing for the Peoples Party craze was
to be soothing and kind but rea-
sonably firm with the patient.

VIEWS OF THE MINORITY.

The facts developed by the ''jag"
committee are presented in minor
ity report, and sustain Mr.. Watts on's
terrible Indictment upon the only
count the majority dared dispute.
This report follows in full:
To the honorable House Of Represegta-
tives:
The undersigned member of the
committee appointed to investigate
charges contained in the campaign
book published by Mr.. Watson, begs
to submit the following minority re-
port:
In the House of Representatives
on Friday last, Mr.. Wheeler, of AL
ALBANIA, arose to question of privi-
lege and read certain extracts from
the campaign book Of the Peoples
party, whose author he stated to be
Mr.. Watson, of Georgia.
Mr.. Speaker Crisp ruled repeated
ly that the language quoted raised
no question Of privilege, and en-
deavored to proceed with the regu-
lar business Of the House. Mr..
Wheeler, however, was not to be di-
verted from his purpose of making
an attack upon Mr.. Watsons He
still kept the floor in spite of the re-
peated rulings of the chair, and
finally directed attention to the para
graph of the book wherein Mr.. Wat
son arraigns the present Congress.
The Speaker having ruled that two
sentences in the paragraph raised
questions of privilege, the gentleman
from Alabama Mr.. Wheeler pro
ceeded to denounce Mr.. Watson, by
name, in the bitterest and most un-
measured terms. This denunciation
was taken up by the ostensible leader
of the House Mr.. McMillin, who
made use of such terms of abuse as
had not been already pre- empted by
Mr.. Wheeler.
At the conclusion of these scurili-
ties, Mr.. Watson took the floor to re-
ply. He called the House to witness
that he had not assalled the gentle
man from Alabama Mr.. Wheeler |,
but had done all in his power to
avoid the unpleasantness. While he
was proceeding to take up in their
order the charges of falsehood which
Mr., Wheeler had made against him,
Democratic members of the House
continually interrupted him in the
most offensive manner, and Mr.. Nc
Millin, the ostensible leader, was
specially prominent In cutting off the
explanation which the, House had
voted Mr.. Watson the privilege Of
making.
The Interruptions were so persist
ent that in spite Of the manly attempt
of Mr.. Butler, of Iowa, to secure a
fair hearing for Mr.. Wat on, that
gentleman was forced to abandon the
specific charges Of falsehood which
Mr.. Wheeler had made against him,
and come at once to the sentences
complained of.
Mr.. Watson insisted that he should
have the privilege of commenting
! upon the whole paragraph, so that
People's party paper. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1891-1898, 1892-08-19

has slandered the House, then some
member or members have done the
same, and that the House has been
somewhat slow in making its assault
upon the great daily newspapers, and
even now does not propose to inves-
tigate the press gallery and bring the
offender to a reckoning.
The evidence further showed that
an honorable colleague and party as
sociate of the gentleman heard him
call several times for whisky, and
that he considered him intoxicated,
and that his condition was a source
of comment upon the part Of many
members.
Mr.. Otis testified to this instance,
as did several other members Of this
body.
Probably the richest nugget brought
to light by the laborious prospecting
Of our committee, was contained in
the testimony of General Tracey, of
New York.
This member was introduced in be-
half of the accused. He said that he
had listened to the argument of the
gentleman who was said to have been
intoxicated, and this argument had
left him in a very peculiar, not to say
complex, state of mind. He said, in
effect, that when he went away, his
mental condition was such that il any
one had told him that the gentleman
in question was intoxicated, he should
not have been surprised; but that if
the man had said, on the contrary,
that the gentleman was perfectly So
ber, he should not have been at all
astonished.
The author of this report has lost
considerable sleep in trying 80 figure
out what this language means, but
finding the effort too severe for sum-
mer work, has had to give it up. lie
merely spreads the riddle on the
Record of this House as an ilIustra-
ton of the aggressive state of incom-
prehensibility into which the New
York mind can sometimes stagger.
Mr.. Watson offered to prove that
the House keeps bar room in the
basement for its own peculiar accom-
mediation, and that members freely
patronize it. He was not only de-
MED the privilege of proving this,
but Mr.. Boatner decided that the
Record should not be allowed to
show that he had offered to do so.
1t is submitted that when drunk
enDess is charged against the House,
it is competent to prove that the
House has supplied itself with the
usual orthodox means Of getting
drunk that it makes use Of those
means in the regular and accepted
way; and that therefore the alleged
result, which u7ually flows from these
causes, is not the wild product of
malice and SANDER, but is the legiti-
mate offspring of that prolific citizen
generally known as John Barleycorn.
The conclusion this minority has
reached, therefore, is that Mr.. Wat
son has not violated the privileges of
this House by defending himself from
q violent and continued assault; nor
has he deserved it's censure for say
ing that which other honorable mem
bers of this House have sworn is the
truth. JERRY SIMPSON.

VILLA RIGA, GA, Aug. 10

VILLA hICA3 OA.3 mug -
Several weeks ago arrangements
were perfected for Peoples Party
rally at this place August II. by 8
o'clock the honest yeomanry of Car
roll. Douglas and Paulding began to
gather on the grounds. They came
in every mode of conveyance from
a wagon to a two-horse carriage, and
by 10 o'clock at least five hundred
people were present.
S. w. Nolan was elected chairman,
who called the assemblage to order
and in a few appropriate remarks IN
troduced w. z. Stone, a new con-
vert, who delivered the welcome
address and also discussed at some
length the Issues Of the day.
The chairman then introduced the
sewar horse from Cobb" Hon. John
A. Sibley, vino held the audience for
two hours. Brother Slbley was wit
ty, sarcastic or clearly logical as the
point demanded, and his speech was
eloquent and convincing. His vim
dication of the economic principles
Of the Peoples Party was complete
and triumphant. He exposed the
Democratic dupliclty in way that
made the people open their eyes,
while the few Democrats. present
sat silent and overwhelmed with
confusion. Brother Sibley knows po-
litical history like book and is pre-
pared to battle with any opponent
who may come in contact with him.
At the conclusion of Brother
Sibley's speech the band played Dixie
and the chairman announced a re-
cess of one hour for refreshments.
After most bountiful and pala-
table dinner, prepared by the ladies,
spread. openly, and more than enough
for all present, speaking was re-
sumed.
The chairman, in a few witty re-
marks, introduced the old veteran
from Paulding, VIM. Jones, who has
been in the fight from the beginning
and says he is in to the finish. He
exposed the infamies Of the British
system OF finance which has been
introduced into this country. He
showed himself close student of
the currency question, and made
plain how our finances are operated
for the enrichment Of the few and
the robbery of the many.
At the conclusion Of Bro. jones'
speech, Bro. Stone requested all Peo-
pies Party men to meet at the old
academy at 3 o'clock p. m. the next
day for the purpose Of organizing a
Peoples Party club.
On Saturday, the 18th, at o'clock.
the citizens of Villa Rica district
met in mass meeting for the purpose
above stated and elected S. w. No
land permanent chairman and J. r.
Mathews secretary. After a short
talk from the chairman explaining
the object of the meeting, proceeded
to enroll members.
Fifty names were enrolled at the
first meeting.
Moved and carried to name said
club the W. L. Peek Club.
After appointing several commit
teemen to solicit signatures to the
club, the meeting adjourned to meet

Chicago Wins a Big Case

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 5-The
United States supreme court today
affirmed the judgment of the United
States circuit court in the well known
Chicago lake front cases. The lower
court had decided in favor of the city,
holding that the Illinois Central did
not own riparian rights and could not
use the submerged lands along the lake
front adjoining its right Of way for
wharves, piers, etc. This controversy
has been going on for many years and
involves property already worth mill
lions of dollars and wharf privileges
which are beyond estimate.
