Billy McGarrahan's Claim Bill.

WASHINGTON CRY. July oa-As the
opening OF the House, Wheeler OF Ala
bama took Tom Watson of Georgia to
task for stating in campaign pamphlet
that drunken members reel through aisles
and drunken members speak on grave is
sues. Watson declared ever word IN the
pamphlet literally true, ana said he was
ready TO defend every word. He dehed
the House to punish him. Watson said
there was not charge in the paragraph
IN question that had not been made from
the press gallery and circulated through
the country, and now, because he made it,
and because the ten members of the Peo-
pies party were in the power of tyran-
nical majority. he was selected as scape-
goat. Laughter and hisses on the Demo-
cratic side. oh" cried Watson. If you
want to howl me down you can do so. and
| will appeal from your tyranny TO the
fair sense of justice that abides IN
the hearts of the American people.
Applause on the Republican side. Amid
many Interruptions Watson continued.
He said the only charge at which the
Democrats took offense was that the MEN,
bers got drunk at the bar which the House
permitted to be run in the basement OF the
capitol. They had planted the tree; why
wonder at its fruit? This congress-"
said Watson in conclusion, "can do what
1t likes about that paragraph, but l stand
by 1t as the exact truth. and | defy you to
contradict it." Cries of Name your man"
resounded through the hall, but Watson
remained impressive. Finally Boatner in
troduced resolution for the appointment
of a committee to investigate and report
on Watson's charges. The resolution was
adopted. and the char appointed Boatner,
Wolverton, Buchanan, Grant and Simpson.
The remainder of the dav was spent IN
filibustering over the Worlds fair amend
ment. A recess was finally taken until

Speaking of the action of the house
on the silver bill, Congressman Watson
of Georgia says: "This action of the
house OH the silver bill is
the death knell of the demo-
cratic organization. Hundreds of
thousands of voters in the southern
states felt that if financial relief could
be had the democracy, as now organ
lied, would give that relief if it had a
chance. With a majority of 14S in the
house it certainly had a chance to pass
the free silver bill. 1t failed to do it.
1t was only by the help of the nine
Peoples party men and the eleven re-
publicanS that this immense democrat
ic majority escaped Waterloo. Con-
ssquently the most conservative demo-
Gratis in the south know now that dem
ocratic majOritieS welded under the
present organization mean absolutely
nothing so far as practical legislation
is concerned. No power on earth can
now keep Georgia from going into the
electoral college with a Peoples party
representation. l confidently believe
that the same is true of several south
ern states. What the democrats may
do with thelsilver bill hereafter is CON-
paratively unimpOrtant. They have
had their opportunity, and with the
outside help of nineteen votes, they
were absolutely unable to pass such a
mild measure as the Bland silver bill.
I have never ceased to claim that the
Alliance demands, upon which the
Peoples party is founded, are the true
JefferSonian principles. Let it never
be forgotten that Boutelle, republic
can, asked the Tammany democrats to
stop fhbuStering on the bill, and chal
lenged the democrats of the house to
come at once to direct vote on the
bill itself. That challenge was refused
by the democrats. We who swung
loose from the democratic party claim
ed that the northern and eastern dem.
ocrats had no real sympathy with our
people, but were as much under the
domination of the money power as the
republicans of the north and east
After the vote of last Thursday night
no man will ever be able to success
fully deny that proposition"

STILL ON THE BOARDS.

The bribery caseis still on the boards.
The Monitor-Press, after ignoring the
matter uutil it had become almost
stale, true to its foolish characteristics
climbed down off the fence on the side
Of the. briber, censuring the District
Judge and thereby breathing new life
and renewed vigor into the scandal.
Judge Ray fred back at it through the
Daily Mail of Tuesday which commun-
ication we publish elsewhere. The
Judge talks quite briskly, making use
of such vigorous phrases as dirty and
cowardly,' hypocrisy" infamous
Islander and falsehood," prefers to pub
fish a falsehood rather than the truth"
"ungainly creature" "him with the
itching palm had he been in my stead
would have been the posSessor of $500
and the county would be minus over
three three times that amount" etc.,
etc. 1t remains to be seen how Bro.
Campbell will take such epithets. The
merry war is undoubtedly on. Verify,
"whom the gods would destroy they
FIRST make mad" There is evidently
good prospect for a further exhibition
of the g. o. p. dirty linen.

The New Nation on the Platform.

In comparing the st. Louis platform
with the Cincinnati platform the Ne1C
Nation says:
"The marks of the class origin of the
Peoples party as farmers patty, of
which there were so many in the Cincin-
natl platform, have disappeared in the
st. Louis declaration. We find in the lat
ter little of the agrarian point of view
of the Ocala and first st. Louis plat
forms, which the Cincinnati document
reflected. This is platform evidently
constructed for artisan, merchant or
professional man as well as for farm
ers, a platform not for a class or
classes, but for the masses. The
change marks the second stage in this
great popular revolt and pOrtends its
national scope.
Again, the declaration at st. Louis
as to the currency and banking issues,
while as broad and radical as those at
Cincinnati, are constructed with a far
wiser Difference to the variety of Opin-
ion on these vexed questions and will
attract many who found the Cincin-
natl utteranceS too narrow.
As to questions of the extension of
government control, observe that while
the Cincinnati platform only called for
control and supervision of the means
of transportation and communication"
and mentioned national ownership
only as a last resort, the st. Louis plat
Iorm declares explicitly that "the gov
eminent should own and operate the
railroads, telegraphS and telephone
lines in the interest of the people"
Finally an entirely new proposition,
which did not appear at all in the Gin
cinnati platform, is found in that
adopted at st. Louis, namely, the de-
mand for a postal bank system not
only for savings but for exchange pur-
poses. This is a proposition of the
first Importance.
The Ne,D Nation heartily congratu.
lates the st. Louis convention upon
the wise, courageous and statesman
like work. We expect to support the
candidates nominated on that plat
form, as the most effective means
within our reach of of preparing the
way for the ultimate triumph Of ma
tionalism."
