People's party paper. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1891-1898, 1892-12-09

him.
When the immense multitude set
tied itself amid the grove of pines it
covered near two acres Of ground.
Hundreds were unable to get in hear
ing distance of the stand.
When Mr.. Watson took the stand
he was greeted with a cheering that
was never equaled in Georgia. It's
echo filled the town. He was in fine
trim and more vigorous than when
he made his first campaign. His
hearers were in excellent voice and
full of enthusiasm.
Never has victor in martial or civil
life had a grander ovation.
Under the mantel of apparent de-
feat he rose the victor.
Under the misrepresentation of
vindictive and servile press, he shone
pure and undefiled.
Emerging from campaign that
has never had its equal in all that
was vile, corrupt and villainous, his
hands were clean, his Christian char
acter spotless and his integrity I'M
defled.
Well might he exclaim, A." I would
rather be the defeated candidate of
a clean campaign and have the love
and respect of my fellows than claim
a victory won by rum, rascality and
repeaters."
1t is impossible to outline his
speech. It was the best he ever
made.
Watson and the Peoples party
are stronger to-day than ever.
The October election found us
unorganized, but we threw our Skin
misn line against the old parties and
gave them lively scrimmage.
The Democrats read our funeral
service then, and invited the few liv-
ing survivors back into the fold.
The fold didn't grow any.
In November, they found us quite
lively corpse. In fact they found
we had grown several thousand
stronger. We hit 'em again, and hit
'em harder.
Our funeral service is again read,
and we are begged to come into the
fold.
In January Wen hit 'em again,
and hit 'em harder and harder, and
two years hence the corpse will bury
the undertakers.
No man who was present at Thorn
son doubts it.
1t is the liveliest corpse that ever
strutted this mundane sphere.
Several speeches were made. En-
thusiasm was unbounded.
The money necessary to contest
Mr.. Blacks election was pledged,
and will be raised, regardless of
what the Democratic papers say.
The frauds in Richmond county
will be published to the world. No
man that contributed to them will be
spared when the evidence is obtained.
From every quarter of the district
the cry for exposure comes ringing
along, and the cry will be answered,
and don't you forget it.
The protection of the purity of the
ballot-box in Georgia has been dele
gated to the Peoples party. The
trust will be faithfully executed.
That's what the meeting at Thorn
son has demanded.
What Democrat is patriotic enough
to aid us? The door is open.
Democratic liquor, Democratic
Doodle, Democratic frauds, Demo
cratic repeaters in the late election,
are eye-openers to hundreds of up
right, honest men who have hereto
fore affiliated with the Democratic
party. They can't stay in such COM
pany when the facts are known with
out being contaminated. The door
is open.
We won't ask Billy to call out the
militia.
Peoples party men throughout the
State, take courage.
Attack the enemy at every point.
Rally your forces for the January
election. Make a fight on every
office, from coroner to sheriff, from
constable to magistrate.
That's what we'll do in the tenth
district, and We'll win "a heap of
them, too.
You can do the same. Try it.
