The Treatment Accorded Him There VIII
Give Him the state in November.
According to dispatch Gen. Weaver
refused to speak in Atlanta Friday. He
had seven appointments in the state.
The first three were filed. At Albany
and Columbus the bourbons hired
toughs to engage in most disgraceful
proceedings. At Macon rotten eggs
were thrown, one Of which struck Mrs
Weaver on the head. Gen. Weaver,
after comforting with friends, concluded
not to fill the last four appointments,
and wrote letter to Mr.. r. d. Irwin,
chairman of the peoples party execu-
tive committee, giving reasons
The democrats of Georgia, instead of
meeting him with speakers, have re-
sorted to tactics that are disgrace to
civilization. Gen. Weaver is a gentle
man, and his speeches have all been
conservative and instructive. One of
them was published in this paper re-
Gently.
While these proceedings will cause
all honest people to blush with shame
to think that any element of people in
any section Of the 'land of the Free
where freedom of speech" and 'of the
press" has been the motto for years,
should disgrace themselves, yet the
friends of reform will shed no tears
The action of those Georgia toughs and
their hackers will undou btedly carry
that state for Weaver 1t will have a
powerful influence on the conservative
voters of every state in the union. 1t
means thousands of votes to Weaver
where they might have went to his op-
ponents. The republicans. by false
doctrines, have driven the masses
from them in the west. The
democrats are doing the same by
false promises and disgraceful con-
duct in the south. Vance truly
said; "The democratic party can al
ways be depended upon to act the fool
at just the right time" If Thomas JEFF
ferson could only come back and see
the party that he started! Let us be
thankful that the great and good man
is spared the humiliation.
Weaver will 6ll his appointments in
North Carolina. There is a small ele.
ment here who would like to mistreat
him, but his friends will see that he
has fair show. North Carolina will
not be disgraced by the action o.
toughs. The small element of idiotit
bourbons here cannot get enough fol
lowing to disgrace the state. -Raleigf

THE ELEPHANT AND TIGER.

In Texas They Lie Down Together, But
the Populists VIII Smother Them With
the Bedclothes.
THE two old parties will pursue their
own course and the Farmers Alliance
will pursue its path until enough of its
members recover from their mid-sum-
mer madness, when the organization
will crumble to pieces, as the old oath
bound secret know nothing party did
If 1t should appear that there was real
danger of the peoples party holding
together long enough to do great mis-
chief, the democrats would unite with
the republicans, from whom they differ
chiefly on the tariff and offices, and the
two would fight against common enc
my. When that job was ended the two
parties would separate and resume their
dispute on the tariff as of old. Chi

Gratis have been industriouslY charg-
ing all over Texas that the peoples
party was organized in the interest f

VIGOROUSLY adopted by the representa-

Clark or of Gov. Hogg, for that matter,

IT Matters Not winch.

After Clicks speech last week, good
republican friend of ours, and one that
did not get mad over it, said to us:
''Isn't that just what we have been tell
ing you all along, that it was scheme
to elect Cleveland? Didn't Click say
SOP" We answered him yes, that is it
What difference does it make to man
in Kansas which is elected, Cleveland
or Harrison? If we can't elect Weaver.
we do not care. What have you got to
say about the republicans in the FIVE
southern states, Georgia, Alabama,
Florida, North and South Carolina, tell
ing them to vote our ticket to help elect
Harrison, and what have you got to say
about the republicans of Iowa trying to
fuse with our party? And then Ten
nessee, how about that? With lone.
some smile our republican friend moved
on, but left our conundrum unanswered.

the conduct in Georgia, but the or

carrying several southern states if an
honest election could be secured, which
was tae greatest trouble. He said Ala

PARTIES, saying in part: 81 shall speak
this eu ening in defense of the self-same
measuaes l have heretofore advocated
upon all occasions. I shall defend the
doctrine, as heretofore, that the bulk
of federal taxation should be levied
upon wealth rather than upon labor
and the industries of the country; that
there sho uld be free and equal coinage
of both gold and silver money; that
both shonld be full legal tender, and
that l'Spel' money required by business
inter- SITS should be issued direct
by the government rather than by
private banking associations, which,
like gold and silver, should be
legal tender It Is true, how
ever, that in advocating these
measures now. find myself outside of
the political organiza ton to which 1
formerly belonged, but this is neither
my fault nor misfortune. 1t is the
fault if not the misfortune of the late
democratic party which, having aban-
doned its principles, now ought by
right to abandon it's name. A great
political party has at last proved recre-
ant to all traditions and forswearing its
fealty to the cause of the people has
knelt in blind, idolatrous devotion at
the shrine of a man whose sole dis
tinguishing characteristic is his stub
born subserviency to the demands of
the m monometallistS Careful investiga-
tion, However, discloses the fact that
this devotion is really not to him, as he
has neither personal qualities, intellect
ual endowments, nor the political sa-
gacity to win homage. The real reason
of his potency is the fact that his can
didacy is demanded by the money
power. The Chicago convention
turned its back upon all its rever-
end traditions and made a most
profound salaam to the great
joss set up by the devotees of mono
metallism and bank rag money. The
nomination of Harrison and Cleveland.
of like principles and policy upon lead
ing questions by opposing political par
ties, Is quite an anomaly in the political
world But fortunately for the country
new party has entered the political
arena in antagonism to both of the old
parties Instead of raising the bulk of
the national revenue by tariff taxation,
which falls with unjust and unequal
weight upon labor and the industries
OF the country it would transfer the
bulk of the burden by an income tax to
the wealth of the nation, where it just
ly belongs The only just standard of
taxation is the one which compels a
man to pay according to his wealth"
