GOBER'S INVESTIGATION.
Sharp Tits Between Members of Il
Legislative Committees.

Sharp Tits Between Members of the
Legislative Committees.
ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 16.-Messrs Glenn
aud Maddox concluded their case before the
Gober legislative investigating committee
to-day, and tonight Judge Gober COM
menced the introduction Of testimony in de-
tense. He has large number OF witnesses.
and ii is probable that this committee will
not get through before Friday. All the
evidence 30 far has been OF an embarrassing
character.
The feature OF to-dsy's session was sharp
controversy between Maj Bacon of the
House branch of the committee aud Mr..
Glenn as TO the character Of evidence adj
missible, which ended in the committee sub
stantially resembling It's former ruling, con-
filming the investigation to the charge OF AL
teration OF court record, and ex-
tending 1t to three distinct charges
contained in the memorial to the
House-first, the refusal to grant super
sedeas; second, the alteration of the record 4;
and third, the issuing Of rule nisi for cor
rupt and tyrannicAl practice. Mr.. Glenn
and the member from Bib. who has as
sumed the leadership In the committee, had
sharp words over The point raised, Maj.
Bacon endeavoring to squelch Mr.. Glenn in
his plan OF action. Both became angry and
vigorous words were used.

AN ADDRESS BY WEAVER
THE POPULIsTs BUT LITTLE BE-
HIND THE REPUBLICANS.

The Balance OF Power Claimed in the
United States Senate-The Number
of It's Adherents In the House
Doubled-He Gives the Democrats a
Left Handed Slap as BE Goes along.
DIES MONIES, IA, Nov. 16.-Gen. Weaver,
candidate for President on the Peoples
party ticket, to-day issued an address to the
voters of the party. He declares that the
Peoples party are but little behind the Re-
publican party in the number of states car
ried that it would doubtless hold the balance
of power in the United States Senate; had
doubled its adherents in the House: had Sc
cured control Of number of state govern
ments; holds the balance of power in a
majority of the states, and had gained
large following in every state Of the south
Gen. " eaver says the almost humiliation
of the Republican party organiLa-
ton leaves the former adherents os
that party free to align themselves
with the anti-monoDoly and industrial
movement The accession Of the Demo-
cratic party t. power is the
result OF violent reaction and
not the deliberate judgment of the
American people. he leaders Of democracy,
he declares, are without any we'll defined
policy except that Of contempt for every
element OF reform within the
ranks OF their own party and
among the people at large. The new ad-
ministration will ignore taree contentious
of modern times relating to land, money
and transportation, and in fact the whole
force Of the new regime will be exercised to
prevent reform in these important matters.
The urgent demand for the free coinage of
silver is to be disdainfully ignored, and in
contempt OF the doctrine OF Andrew Jack
son European aristocrats are to be permitted
to dictate our financial policy. The
uniform legal tender currency of the gov
eminent is to be sacrificed and serious at
tempts made TO force the people to return
to the fraudulent system OF state bank is
sues. In Gen. Weaver's view the violent
political storms of 1883 and 1892 signify the
turbulent condition of the political atmos-
phere, foreshadowlng an approaching
crisis. He urges that the work Of organs
cation be pushed with energy through all
the states.
