People's party paper. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1891-1898, 1892-07-15
THE PEOPLES FORUM.
PUBLIC SENTIMENT AS CLEANED
FROM CORRESPONDENTS.

introduced by Frederick w. Long, at
the meeting of Typographical Union
No. 2 on Sunday last, were tabled,
and a special to-day that they de-
nounced the action of the committee
of Typographical Union No. 6, of
New York, in endorsing the candi-
dacy Of Whitelaw Reid for vice
president, and called upon the Re
publican party to withdraw his name.
The people of Gloster suggest that
the Democratic party withdraw Gro
yer G7veland's name for president
and renominate him for vice, with
Mr. Harrison. Mr.. Cleveland can
carry the fur-hat men and poor boot
lickers of the South and Wall street,
and Mr.. Harrison may control part
of the negro vote of the South and
the poor boot-lickers of the North,
as all of their best material has
flown to the Peoples Party for the
November battle.
Adam Johnson, Secretary of Clay
ton County Alliance, writes from
Jonesboro, July 2:
Clayton County Alliance, in con-
vention the 1st instant, with much
animation, passed two resolutions,
which they ask that you publish in
your paper:
l. They endorsed unanimously
/ (without having to make it SOY J. L.
Chupp, of DeKalb county, for Con-
gress from the Fifth district.
2. They appointed committee of
forty-four live men to arrange for q
barbecue at some future day to feed
five thousand men, and invite the
Hon. Thos. E. Watson and others to
address the people from the adjacent
counties on said occasion.
O. P. Florence, of Grovetown,
writes:
At a meeting of the citizens of
Grovetown, July 2, for the purpose
of organizing Peoples Party Club
for Grovetown, or No 7 district, the
following was the result:
There was no announcement for
speaking or any other attraction than
: a plain call for citizens meeting,
and when the meeting was called to
order by the executive committee,
W. L. Benton We called to the chair
and 0. P. Florence made secretary.
Mr.. Benton, in few appropriate re-
marks, stated the object of the meet
ing, and the secretary opened the
books for the names of those who
wished to join the club, excluding
those who belonged to other clubs,
when forty six names were enrolled,
and sixteen new subscribers received
for the PEoPLE's PARTY PAPER.
Now, Mr.. Editor, as we do not ex-
pect the ''world," we are well salts
fed with our beginning, as it consti-
tutes about one-half of the white
votes of our district.
w. A. Pyne, editor of the Peo-
pies Defender, St. Francis, Kansas,
writes:
| desire to send a word of greet
ing to my brethren in the Sunny
South, and | also desire to congratu-
late them upon their sweeping vic
tory in the recent election in Glass
cock county. Many persons, true
Peoples Party men, have, in mo-
ments of refectiveness, asked me
the question: ''Will the Southern
people stick ?" I have always con-
tended that the Johnnies would be
just as loyal to the Peoples Party
and its principles as their Northern
brothers, and the election, of which
l have spoken, fully demonstrates
the correctness of this view. They,
like their Northern brothers, have at
last, thank God, had their eyes
opened to the true aspect of the
condition of affairs, and like us have
learned thht there is no hope of re-
lief in any form whatever except
through the agency of the Third or
Peoples Party, unless the twin Pla-
tocrats become scared lest they
should be buried under an avalanche
of votes cast by the common people
whom they have SO long plundered
and robbed in open daylight, and
act, but even though they should at
this late hour act, ! think the peo-
pie would not be again deceived by
them, and would tell them by their
ballots that their action came ever
lastingly too late. In the Northwest
the two old parties are becoming
scared, and badly, too, and I think |
am safe in making the prediction
that before the coming election day
finally rolls around they will have
adjusted all the differences now ex-
listing between them and united their
waning forces to down their COM
mon enemy-the Peoples Party
