People's party paper. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1891-1898, 1892-09-16

From the Pinetuck Times.

Oh, just give us a chance. We
have never had a chance yet. That
is what the Democrats say down
here who had the majority in the
last Congress. Well, | believe it
it was Democrats who killed the
free silver bill. / don't know, I
think it was Democrats. Yes; well,
what did they kill it for? I think it
was to keep down the force bill.
Well, you are easy bluffed. Who
was going to pass the force bill? Re-
publicans. How could they pass it
through Democratic house if they
are not in together? Their excuse
will not do, and their promises we
cannot stand. They don't like Tom
just because he will stick to his
principles, party or no party.
I saw paper the other day that
said, we will give Major Black all
the votes in Richmond county, and
then Tom will carry this district.
This is true, but we expect to let
them know on election day that we
are not all Black men in this county.
[ want to be true about it, and I
don't want to lie like some of tie
Democrats did that went to Craw-
louisville the other day and thought
they were the only men there. This
county is about equally divided be-
tween Democrats and Peoples party
and this is the strongest Democratic
county in the Tenth District. All
we ask is our rights. They are try
ing to buy all they can to vote their
ticket down here. One man has sold
out for a dollar and a half. 1t was
more than he was worth, I believe
q man who will sell his vote is dis
honest, and a man who will buy one
is the same.
1t will be goodbye Jimmie Black
this fall.
Major, why do you ask for the
colored vote? L thought you was
afraid of negro supremacy.
Hon w. III. Fleming thinks that
we are fools because we are Peoples
party. If we are he will find out
that there is more fool men than
Black men on election day. I have
nice sample Of Democracy, we
have man down here who says, if
it was not for the laws of the coun-
try he would take is gun and kill all
his fool kinfolks because they are
Peoples party. We are not afrrid
of him, for if he was fool-killer he
would commit suicide first thing.
Mind, John, don't kill yourself. The
Democrats would not be responsible
for it. John, we are all glad that
the law is such a protection to us,
and If you don't like such laws you
ought not to get SO mad with US for
wanting better laws.
I believe in peace and plenty, but
as long as Wall street has control Of
US we will not have either for a man
has high temper when low viotuals.
The idsa of running railroad
lawyer against Tom Watson is
enough to open your eyes, boys, and
then trying to buy votes is another
thing I object to. Why can't you be
honest and truthful,
The Augusta Evening News said
the other day that the Republicans
met to nominate a man for Congress
from the Tenth district, but decided
to support Major Black rather than
to nominate one of their own party.
l tell you, boys, there is another
fine sample of Democracy.
Our lines are filing in every day.
It is nothing strange to see man
crawl out Of the Democratic ditch
and say, DWELL, [ am Peoples
party man" Why? "Well, when I
thought I was Democrat did not
know what [ was, and don't know
precisely yet, but [ do know enough
to know [ am not one.
