The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1892-09-15

Here we have the old fight again, contest
ing with Grant for the safety Of the
union Charge on them, fellow citi-
gems; spare not one.n Weaver also
/ charged the south with murder, treason
| and theft Mr.. Turner thought that the
people Of the south should pause before
/ casting their ballots for a man who, after
| peace had sent its light over civilization,
| had declared that he had nothing to take
| back. He spoke Of Gen. Weavers deserving
] the Republican party and riding into the
| Forty-sixbh congress as a greenbacker.
! HIS MALIGNANT HATRED OF THE SOUTH.
During that time be still retained his ma
lignant hatred for the south. 1t would seem
at that era when peace was beginning TO
spread her wings over this fair southland,
that Gen. Weaver would have given in TO
the bill against federal interference, but
such was not the case. He voted to strike
out the provisions in the bill which
provide for the repeal Of these officers and
their pay. He said that be had not met
Weaver in debate, and that it was not his
intention TO do him an injustice; that he
was only telling that which came from the
records. Mr.. Turner continued to show up
Weaver's record until the close Of his
speech.
Rev. Thsd Pickett, third party can
didRte for congress from the Ninth con-
gressional district, was next introduced.
Mr.. Pickett began by claiming that he was
free man; that he has home-born and
Georgia-reared. He said that the gentle-
man who preceded him had done his best,
but that he represented a bad cause. He
wanted to know whether the Democratic
party was the first or second party. The
republicans claimed to be the first party
and 80 did the democrats He then spoke Of
the tariff and the national banking system.
He said the tariff would not afford the re-
lief sought by the third party, and the ma
tional banking system was an abominRble
thing. The Democratic party had always
acted In the
INTEREST OF GLASS LBaIsLATIoTs
He said the people would have been bet
ter off il there had been no Democratic
party; that when the people talked of join
ing a new party here would come up the
elect, sanctified old Democratic party wip-
ing its mouth, saying that it had always
been for the people. He said that the DEM
ocratic party had voted for the contraction
OF the currency and the repeal of the in
come tax He said that what Weaver had
said about the south could not beat what the
south had said about the north. At this juno
ture the crowd yelled, Take him away"
Mr.. Turner then stepped to the front and
asked the people to give the speaker a re-
spectful hearing.
Continuing. Mr.. Pickett said that Grover
Cleveland would never be elected for the
reason that the solid south was divided. He
said that Alabama. Georgia and North
Carolina would go with the Peoples party
As he said this, a voice called out, The
Tar Heel state will never CO." From this
time on, on account Of his bitter denuncia-
tions OF the Democratic party, he was con-
tinually interrupted. He was asked
whether he was not a deserter from the
confederate army. He refused to answer
the question and became so embarrassed
that the remainder of his speech was
repetition of his former Statements
TURNER REPLIES.
Mr.. Turner took the stand again and re-
piled to Mr.. Pickett's speech He desired
that Mr.. Pickett be present to hear what he
had to say, but Mr.. Pickett was conspicu-
ously absent.
NJ. D. Irwin of Atlanta spoke next. Mr..
Irwin said that Mr.. Turner was the fairest
man that he ever met In joint debate. He
spoke Of the conventions held by the three
great political parties. He said that Chaun-
cey M. Depew, the great railroad monopo-
list, dictated the policy of the republican
convention; that the people who went to
that convention to represent the people
were national bank attorneys and office
holders; that the democratic policy was die
tated by William c. Whitney, the head of
the Standard OIL Company. The Omaha
convention, he claimed. was represented by
the tillers Of the soil and the workingipeople
| generally.
Mr.. Turner followed Mr.. Irwin in a
thirty minutes speech, in which he success
fully refuted the arguments of Mr.. Irwin
