Congressman Dixon WAS the first speaker
introduced to the audience. He spoke at
length and made the point that the demo-
cratic house was not responsible for failure
TO pass certain needed legislation. The re-
publican senate had defeated such legisIa-
tion continually. He claimed for the dem

and the eight hour law. The senate had
failed to endorse other beneficial legislation
passed by the house. He said the failure
TO pass the mineral land bill was due to

CATION
4 Typical Tennessee Town.
Pulaski is a pretty place. The capital
Of Giles, one of the richest counties in the
state, tits itself wealthy town and the
home of highly intelligent and cult
waited people, thoroughly southern in ma
ture and instincts, frank and outspoken in
their opinions. The population is about
$500. The town has more than its share
OF banks and its handsome church, school
and college buildings attest the high state
OF its progressiveness.
The country about Pulaski is pictur.
esQue and very fertile. In richness and
attTactiveness it is rivalled only by the
bIus grass region of Kentucky. Fine
horses and cattle and hogs are raised in
protusion and the crops of corn and grain
that grow on these Giles county lands
would make the Georgia cotton planter
grow as green as the leaves Of Pulaski's
Suady streets with very envy.
The Advent of Weaver.
1t was into such favored region that
James B. Weaver made his advent in the
Winter Of 1868. He came in that general
movement of the western armies which
o'gan in that year and ended with Sher-
man march to the sea. 1t was about No
FemDer that Gen. Weaver reached Pulaski
as colonel of the second Iowa regiment of
infantry, under General Dodge, and was
~aue commandment of the post herr He
ueiu that place for several months, in
winch period he succeeded in making him
s5lSo thoroughly obnoxious to the people
o'ef whom he ruled with an iron hand

The Case of j. p. Williams
The story of Weaver's treatment OF j. 2.
Williams, a substantial and inoffensive
farmer of Giles county, is enough to make
the blood boil in the heart of every patri-
otto son of the south. AS Mr.. Williams
lives in the country it was impossible to
see him in person, but the nature OF the
outrages practiced on him is told in the
following sworn statement.
AFFIDAVIT OF W. J. RAIvEY.
To AU Whom IL May Concern:
j.. P. Williams is a second cousin of mine. l
knew of his arrest by General Weaver The
only charge aga nst him was that he had col
lected lot of cattle and let the confederates
have them instead of the federals Weaver
fined Sir. Williams $500, and because he could
not pay it had HIM thrown into jill. He was let
out on parole to raise the money, being escorted
by yankee guard. He uId raise the money and
WAS released.
Weaver had my brother, who had come home
on furlough from the confederate amy, ar
rested aud ironed with stiff irons on both legs
and kept that way for many weeks. He was
finally tried as spy and acquitted.
B. F. Maxwell had a stallion which he valued
at over 81, 200. Weaver wanted the horse and
took him. giving Maxwell voucher for TWO
horses. The government allowed $40 apiece
for horses, if l recollect Alright.

/, Jasper Cox, or the county OF Giles ana sraIa
of Tennessee, upon my Dash state that during
the war, while Weaver, the present peoples
party candidate for president, was stationed at
Pulaski. he Weaver took from me four thou
sand dozen thread worth at that time two thou
sand dollars, aud refused TO pay for it or give
any recent whatever for it.
afterwards employed j. q. Whitson as my
agent to collect pay for the thread. Whitson
wrote to Weaver about it and Weaver replied
that he had turned it over to John II. Dillon,
surveyor of customs, at Nashville. Whitson
then wrote to Dillon about the matter and
Dillon replied that Weaver had never turned
over to him any cotton thread that be (Diilon)
knew nothing about it, According to my best
informant ton and belief Waver appropriated
nv thread to his own individual use.

AFFIDAVIT OF 9. L. WITT.

AFFIDAVIT OF g. L. WITT.
10 Whom 4 MAJ Co GERM
At the time General James B. Weaver wac
stationed at Pulaski was boy of about Il
years of age, and was living at my fathers
home, ten miles from Pulaski
Iremember General Weaver from one moi
dent which impressed him on my mind that
WAS the transaction about Mr.. Jasper Cox's
thread. My rather. G. h Witt, sold Mr.. Cox
large lot of bacon. This bacon Mr. Cox took 10
factory in Laurens, the adjoining county, and
traded 1t for cotton yarn or head which he
brought back and stored in his house. it being
hi intention TO hold the thread until the war
closed when he hoped to sell 1t and buy him
home. That thread represented his accumu.
lated savings up TO that time
After ME- Cox had gone off to join the south
ern army Weaver heard of this threat in some
way and sending a squad of soldiers to MIR.
Cox's house, forcibly took 1t away. Mr.. Cox
has never seen the thread since nor has he ever
been able to recover one cent from Weaver for
1t.
After Weaver had taken the thread, my IA
ther went to him in company with Mr.. Cox's
wife and begged MIN TO ls.urn II, mrs. COX
pleading for it with tears in her e7es. My IA
Their showed Weaver that Mr.. Cox had come by
the thread honestly, having traded for it with
the bacon my father had sold him, but Weaver
was memorable and would do nothing to right
the wrong that had been done.
know these facts of my own knowledge and
have besides, heard my father tell the story
more than once.

AS q Hog Stealer.

AS Hog stealer.
Mr.. Williams also says that on one oc-
casiop. when Weaver was passing his (Wil-
Iiams9 house he drove off every fattening
hog he had, and allowed his men to shoot
down all of the women's turkeys before
their ewes. and when asked for a receipt or
voucher, fatty refused to give any. This
he did without any cause whatever, as the
government had an abundance OF supplies
at Pulaski.
This conduct appears even the worse IN
comparison with that of other Federal Off
GERS. as in the case of Gen Johnson, who,
while in command here. told the people II
thew caught his soldiers foraging to shoot
them down.

AFFIDAVIT OF J. @. ROBERTS, N. d,
To All Hhono it May Concern:
Weaver was o terror to all the men, women
and children in this region round about our
town and county. especially to those who were
known to have money.
He arrested me and tried to extort from me

charge He extorted in that way from many OF
our best citizens money and everything else.
On another occasion, weaver had me arrested
and forced me- to receght for $1,000 due me on
farm had sold before the war credit. All
this money proved dead loss to me-
