The Peoples Party In the South.
One Of the stock cries of the Re
publican orators this fall will be, 'Old
Republicans who have joined the
Peoples party should not vote that
ticket because a vote for Weaver will
be one-half vote for Cleveland, and
as the Peoples party has no follow
ing in the south, and is a Democratic |
move, of course you old Republicans
do not want Cleveland elected" etc,
etc. The HERALD has been collecting
lot of clippings from papers pub
lished IN the south bearing on this
question, and give them to its readers
below. These show that the Peoples
party is cutting wide swaths in the
Democratic states of the south as it is
in the Republican states of the north.

win any ex-Republicans back, they
must try some other tact:
