act upon the MORNING NEWS advice TO
draw she line clearly between those who are
members OF the Democratic party and those
who sympathize with the Peoples party
there has been a noticeable illumination OF
enthusiasm for the Peoples party. A
good many democrats who were
led by the noise the Peoples party made
to believe that that party was much strong
er than il really is, and who were permit
ting,themselves to be drawn into it by the
representations that were made in its behalf.
promptly gave it the cold shoulder when they
saw they we're IN danger Of beiug shut out
OF the grand old Democratic party-the
party TO which they owe 80 much, and
which is the only hope of the south.
Many Of those who have been induced to
join the Peoples party are beginning to
realize they have made a mistake Of the
most serious kind and they are gradually
coming back to the Democratic party.
Demagogues had led them to believe that
the Democratic party was not doing for
them all it could, and that the Peoples
party would afford them the re-
lief they thought could be obtained
by legislation. The more they
study the two parties, however, the clearer
becomes the conviction that the Democratic
party is doing for the people all that can be
done, and that it is guarding their interests
with wisdom and fidelity. The men at the
head of it are among the wisest in the
country and are In full sympathy with the
toiling masses.
Who are the men who have organized
and are leading the Peoples party3 Are
they not men who, having failed to become
prominent in either of the old parties, are
now trying to get into Office by means of
another partyl To how many parties has
c. C. Post, the leader of the Peoples party
in this state, Belonged Has he not been
republican and follower of Gen. Weaver
and Of Gen. Butlerl He has been In every
new party that has been started, and
has accomplished nothing in any one of
them. He and such men as he
are the leaders of the Peoples party. They
are the ones who are promising the farmers
a condition OF affairs that will make them
all prosperous and contented. The best evil
dence that they are not telling the truth is
the fact that they have not succeeded in
anything they have undertaken. Failing
to secure place aud prominence in the old
parties, they are trying to use the farmers
and workingmen to advance their political
fortunes.
And they are not dealing honestly with
those who follow their lead. They make
promises that will never be realized and de-
x,afslaoIfnrr he for
cess. In the south they are still asserting
that there is no plank in the st. LOUIS
platform providing for the payment
TO union soldiers Of the difference
in the price of the deprecated currency in
which they were paid and gold and yet that
plank appears in the copies OF the platform
that are being circulated in the north.
This one attempt to deceive the farmers Of
the south is sufficient to show that they are
not the kind Of men to follow or trust.
They hate the Democratic party. At the
st. Louis convention they boasted they
would break the backbone of the southern
democracy, and they said they would not
have much trouble in breaking the backbone
Of the democracy OF Georgia.
They haven't broken the backbone of
Georgia's democracy yet, and
they will not succeed in break
ing it. The democracy is ready for the
battle. It is now asking all who are against
it to step outside of its ranks so it may
know who are its friends and who its
enemies 1t wants in its camp only those
who believe in its principles aud desire it to
be victorious. And it is going to win a
glorious victory and put an end to the
Peoples party.
