STUMPING GEORGIA
Candidate Weaver Finds No
Fun Therein.
MRS. LEASE AND A NEwsPAPERMAN

She Says He Lies and He Pulls Afdavits-
A Blusterous Time at acknowledgements
Hold an Opposition NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Making 1t Very Warm for the Popuiist
Leader-Hoots Instead of Cheers-Nrs.
Lease Declines to Talk.
MACON, Ga, Sept 23-Gen. Weaver, the
Populist candidate for president arrived
here from Columbus yesterday, morning.
During his whole canvass in the state he
has been followed around by a Pulaski,
Tenn, newspaperman who charges him
with financial skullduggery when he was
in command of Union troops at that place.
At the Columbus meeting there were only
a half dozen third party men present
Weaver spoke only a few minutes and did
not reply to the Pulaski, Tenn, charges
Mrs. Lease. in referring to them, said:
'These Democratic statesmen in Georgia
have sent out the lying representative of a
lying newspaper to rake up these old lies. )"
Had His Afidavits Along.
The newspaper man who wrote them
was there again. He rushed to the front OF
the stage with his affidavits and said
.'Here ARE the affidavits to prove those
charges. Disprove them if you can" The
crowd. in which there was a number of
Democrats, applauded and Weaver retired.
He says the Georgia people are mighty
good folks, but when you come a politi-
cal enemy of the majority there's no fun in
it. When he reached here he attempted tc
address a crowd of third partyites and
hoodlums from the balcony of the Hotel
I4anier, but the hoodlums would not heal
him and the third party was toe weak to
crush out the opposition.
The Meeting at Macon.
The party was met on its arrival here by
a committee and escorted at once to the
hotel A meeting of the young Mems
Democratic club had been called for 6
O'Clock at the court house and was attend
ed by not less than 1000 Democrats
Ringing Democratic speeches were deliv-
cred by Hon. Dupont Gerry, Hon. John
l.. Hardeman, Hon. Charles l.. Bartlett,
and others. Meanwhile the negro brass
band, hired by the third party, had gath
cred a crowd on the street opposite the no
Poo, the third party candidate from this
district for the senate.
The Democrats Appear.
During the introduction some hoodlums
threw septic, and the act nearly precipi-
tated fight. When Weaver advanced he
was hooted continuously, and at last got
angry and retired. Just at this moment
the Democratic meeting, 1000 strong,
turned out and marched behind their band
to the tune of Dixie" amid the widest en-
thusiasm. After this it was impossible fol-
any one to get a hearing except Hon. Du-
pont Query, who got quiet for Mrs. Lease
but that lady declined to speak.

THE MILLS IN BAD SHAPE.
What Prick Found During Visit to
Homestead.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Sept. 23.-Manager
Prick visited the mills here yesterday, and
did not find everything in a satisfactory
condition. That is certain. He would not
however, make known his conclusions, or
have anything to say to representatives of
the press about the situation of affairs be
hind the big fence, from which newspaper
men are carefully excluded, and the mill
officials refuse to talk for the public's in
formation. However, Prick found the
twenty-three-inch mill not running. owing
to its bad condition. The big 119-inch mill
is idle, owing to costly breakage of both
shears and rolls. The new beam bill, as
well one of the open-hearth mills, was
barely in operation and doing very little.
The Water Causes Sickness.
Prick also found much sickness among
the non-union workmen, attributable to
bad water. He also found the number of
workmen greatly reduced until now there
are not more than 200 workmen at his
command. Prick was accompanied on his
tour of investigation by Julian Kennedy,
formerly the superintendent of the Home
stead plant. Kennedy is now one of the
owners of the Apollo Iron works, and
stands very high in the estimation of the
Carnegie company, with which he has not
for some time been connected in any man
ner His presence at this time is regarded
| as very significant.
RNmor That Potter Is to Go.
In fact it is currently rumored that Ken
nedy will very soon succeed Superintendent
Potter, with whose conduct of the present
| labor troubles, rumor says, the Carnegie
| people are very much dissatisfied. Ken
nedy is also held in high regard by the
| former employees at Homestead and it is
| believed that his engagement by the COM
| pany would certainly bring about an early
| termination of the present difficulties.

POLITICAL FIELD NOTES.
Democratic National Committee Explains
About state Banks.

About State Banks.
New YORK, Sept. 23.-The Democratic
national committee has issued a text book
which among other political matter con-
tains an explanation of the meaning of the
platform plank demanding repeal of the
tax on state bank issues. The explanation
says that the issue is not joined ON the ex-
cellence of the national banking system
and its services in the past, but whether it
can be perpetuated and what shall be sub
stituted fori it. The system is disappearing,
the book says and the repeal of the tax
would open the way for another system
flexible and responsible.
