tInent Questions in Regard to the Peo-
pies Party Champion.
Under the above caption the Atlanta
Constitution takes Gen. Weaver to task
for past utterances. When the man is
considered this may be unfair, and it
may also not be in accordance with the
ideas of such Kansas populists who
have buried the bloody shirt, nor may
it be a sweet morsel to democrats, but it
is the tone OF the entire southern press.
The Constitution editorial is given en-
tire as a curiosity to Kansas soldiers
who have been willing to forget every
thing:
Gen. James 3. Weaver is coming to
Georgia in few weeks to beg the peo-
pie of this state to vote for him for
president as the candidate of the peo-
pies party. 1t IS to be supposed that he
will endeayor TO give some reason why
the people should do this, but what
those reasons will be it is hard to tell.
Weaver will speak at Waycross on
the 18th of September. VIII he tell the
people there, as ne did at keokuk, Ia,
on the 10th of September, 1871, that
the record of the republican party APP
peals to the candid Judgment of all
men as unimpeachable, save, perhaps,
that il was too lenient with the leading
democratic conspirators? and that the
same old gang, save those who We're
shot or hung, are again commencing to
get possession of the government next
year

of Georgians, many of them confederate
veterans, that will greet him at Albany,
will he congratulate them as he did
the citizens of Abba. Ia, on the 18th of
July, 1866, on the suppression of the
purely democratic rebellion, gotten up
by democrats for the democratic pur-
pose of discovering this union and per-
petually establishing human slavery?
when, ut Newman, he stands up be-
fore men of Georgia who have fought
for years in the ranks of the democ-
racy, will he say to them, as at Bloom
field. September 4, 1865, he said to the
people of Iowa: The confederate de-
mocracy. north and south, in which the
infamous copperhead division of Iowa
appears, are again conteSting with
Grant for the safety of the union. As
at Donelson, he proposes to move on
their works at once, and there is no
escape for this rank, traitorous horde,
except in another surrender. Charge
on them, fellow republicans, and spare
not one, not even deputy road super
visor, from total political humiliation"
''Will he, when he addresses the peo-
pie of Atlanta, say what he did to the
people of Oskaloosa, Ia, on the 18th of
September, 1871, that No republican
can ever, under any circumstances,
have any part or lot with the hungry,
rebellious, man-hating. woman-selling

poison that it should be blotted from
the vocabulary of civilized men and
handed over 70 the barbarism that it so
fifty now and in all the past has pre-
sented?'
Gen. Weaver has never denied say
Ing all these things They are on rec
ord against him. VIII he say them
again? If not why not? If the south
eru people were democratic conspira-
tors who deserved to be shot or hung in
1871. what are they now? If the men
Of Georgia whose votes Gen. Weaver is
soliciting were members OF hungry.

gang. corporated under the name of
democracy in 1871, are they any better
now? VIII the peoples party candi-

them?r
