People's party paper. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1891-1898, 1892-10-07


Col. Livingston. He says that Mr..
Cleveland refused to go to Rich
mond, because he did not want his
women folks to be introduced to
Winnie Davis. All | have to say is,
that Grover Cleveland's personal
friends deny that in toto.
Mr.. Watson. Which one?
Mr.. Livingston. Burke Cochran.
Mr.. Watson. When !?
Mr.. Livingston. A day or two be-
fore [ left there.
Mr.. Watson. It occurred in 1886,
and Dan Lamont.did not deny it.
Mr.. Livingston. Cleveland's re-
cord is as fair to the South as that Of
any mans North or South. Mr..
Watson will not admit it.
Now my fellow citizens, listen
moment and I will SIT down. I have
shown that Mr.. Watson did not run
On platform in favor of the govern
ment ownership of railroads. Mr.
Watson has reported himself in Wash
ington city, elected as q Democrat.
[ reported myself as elected a Demo
GRAFT. We are both on record over
our own signatures as Democrats.
A voice. What are you now
Mr.. Livingston. A Democrat
What are you? Mr.. Watson says
that he is in favor of the Oca1a de-
mands, and so am I. | am IN favor
Of the demands that we put into the
State platform. They are the Ocala
demands, and every one is put into
the Chicago platform. I asked him
why heis fghting'3Qs, and the onlyreply
makes Is that the Eastern Democrats
would not let him get what he wants.
My advice is TO move up there where
be can hurt his enemies and not be
fighting his friends. When the Oct
ober and November elections are
over, these third party men will be
sober. And when Cleveland goes to
Washington, and Governor Northen
goes into the gubernatorial chair,
and Livingston gets there, and when
friend Watson gets there-if he gets
there-he is going to be a soberer
man than he is, and he will come
nearer to voting with the Demo
Gratis than some Of you think he will.
Don't you know he voted right along
with the Democrats with one or two
exceptions. Now why does he go to
Washington and vote with the Demo-
Gratis and come to Rockdale County
and ask the good people to vote
against the very party that he voted
with day by day I?
Now, [ will tell you this: If you
elect a Peoples party man from
Georgia and one from Kansas, they
are not going to vote together.
Why? Because whenever his North
ern friends went estray he voted
with the balance Of us, and yet he
comes down here and asks you far
mers to vote with these third party
people in Kansas.
Now, my dear friends, I want to
say this: You Peoples party. have
nothing to brag on IN your platform.
If you should continue together,
which is improbable, it will take you
long time to control legislation.
Here is the Democratic party that
has been your friend. You are gong
back on the record Of your fathers
and your grandiathers; you are d.
viding your families and your schools;
you are risking strife, turmoil and
confusion. For what? Ask your
selves for what? To get more
money, that is all. Now let me tell
you, and | ask his attention to this
point. I believe that if you ask Tom
Watson he will tell you that il you
get any more money out of the Gov
ernment in the next two decades you
will have to getsit5out Of the Demo
cratic or the Republican parties.
Why, then, ''striye at q gnat and
swallow camel"
| thank those Of you that have
been quiet. I did not expect any
thing more Of some Of you. You
did not know better, but you ought
to learn.
UNLIMITED GALL.
am glad that you gave Mr.. Wat
son such good attention. [ hope you
will give him chance to answer the
questions I have asked him. [ de-
mand that he take his platform and
the Jeffereonian platform, and pre-.
