Surrounded by n Mob.

Iithia Springs, Go, July Especial. 1.-THE
third party had n speaking and basket dinner
at Jram today. A short time after the speak
ing began, John VI. James appeared on the
grounds and asked for Il division of time that
he desired to speak for the democrats. The
third party crowd refused to give him any
time until after dinner and that he could have
one hour aud ii half and john Sbley, of Cobb
one hour and half.
MIR. James agreed to this g. G.. Post spoke
three hours and adjourned to dinner. After
dinner James spoke one hour and ten minutes
and Sibley spoke one hour hnd q half.
When james arose to closh i'll twenty minutes
he was surrounded by Il bowling mob with
drawn knives, swearing that he should not
speak, James was very cool and stood his
ground nobly, and told them that they had
woke up the wrong man to scare, that he had
faced mimic balls, bomb shells and cannon
balls and that he there TO close the de-
bate for the democrats and intended to do so.
At this time John Sibley, the third party
speaker walked up to Mr.. James and placed
his arms around him and salu he was a true
man and true democrat, and must be allow
ed to finish his speech. After several min
utes the crowd was quoted down and Mr..
James finished his speech. 1t is believed that
Harvey Rich, an eX-republcan and a third
party leader, was the cause OF the trouble.

Jacksonville, Fla, July 20,-The state
convention of the people s party was call
ed to order here today at noon. About
thirty-two out of forty-fve counties We're
represented. Delegates who have arrived
so far number about two hundred. They
represent Farmers Alliance, republicans,
numerous labor and industrial organiza-
tions and Kicking democrats" There
are very few colored men among the dele
gates. Temporary organization was effect
ed and the committee on credentials retired
The rest of the time was
consumed in speech-making. The
convention will probably be i'll session two
days and will put up full state ticket and
make congressional nominations. There
are rumors that if the state ticket is half
way acceptable to the republicans they will
endorse it and make a hot fight for the
democracy.
The gubernatorial candidate is Alonzo
.Bas1in, of Marion county, president of the
State Farmers Alliance. The presidential
electors are A. w. Weeks, of Washington
county state lecturer of the Farmers
Alliance, and Thomas Hind, of Putnam
county, the latter republican in his
former political affiliations

elect Post chairman of the central COM
mittee, and it did so, but Colonel Post in
o speech, declined to serve, saying ha
thought it best for him not to be the chair
man. lie was q Northen man, and, while
he didn't care q snap for the abuse Of
some on that score, still it might injure tho
cause of the peoples party for him to be
the chairman. He emphatically declined
the nomination.
Somebody moved that all confederate
soldiers who endorsed the third party stand
up, and, according to the secretary's count,
there were POI who arose.
There was but one union soldier to
rise when called on, but he said his
heart was full of love for the old con-
federates now, and the trouble was all
over.
Mr.. Chambers, of Lafayette, the singer,
was called on for song, and here's q.
sample verse:
When Watson called the people out
He marched through food and flame.
livingston tried to pull them back
But they got there just the same.
Chorus: 90
Git there git there git there, boys;
Let liberty be your aim,
Never mind what's said, keep n level head
And Wen git thar just the same.
This song set the convention crazy with
enthusiasm. Men threw Up their hats,
some took Off their coats, and even one
delegate took off his brognn shoes
The singing man had to give them an
other song, entitled THE Young Wife's
Song" and it is Il production from the
pen of Tom Watson.
Some Eloquent Speeches.

orator from Milledgevile, who is running
for congress on the peoples party ticket,
was repeatedly called for, and finally walked

Sam Small's Abuse.
Sam Small in some way or other was
strag@ler i'll the convention hall all day and
was called on to speak.
He started out by saying it was a peculiar
compliment, as he was not Il member Of
the party, and vet he took ND an hour
abusing the democratic, republican and ev-
cry other party under the sun than the
peoples party, TIE democratic particularly.
Never was there more ViiiIying, wins
dlctiyea, ugly and unproyoked attack of men,
of individuals, Of paricuaritics' and ''geIs
eralities" than was this speech from begiu@
ming to end. Said he:
THE day has come when the conscicna
tious voice of the people is the voice of God
to the sea. The people should be uua
shackled. 1t cannot be charged that you
have gone off without delibcraton.
THE old parties have advised you to hold
back but this has been drummcd into your
heads for twenty-seyen years. We're going
into new grounds for politics. Woe unto
the man upon whom the milestone falls.
The southern delegates in Tammany hall
sold out democratic principles and southern
allegiance and loyalty to the Tammany
hall men in IS, and since that time every
four years.
Grover Cleveland invited that leader Of
niggerdom, Fred Douglass, to his dinner ta~
bic. | might excuse him for getting the
niger into his house for supper, but when
he invited the low White wife to so theres
it is more than / can stomach"
The speech was terrifying one.
Then Chairman Post called for campaign
money and the delegates went up 10 the Sec
rotary, thinking in their dollars, quarters
and halves until nearly half peek Of money
was i'll hand.
The convention was declared adjourned.

from which YOU freed us in 1874, will be
placed upon our necks ag1n. If, in the mean
time the force bill should become n law, Uni
ted States soldiers, with Eheir glistenng bay

this fair land viii become, under negro rule,
II wilderness. You who Hive in your white
counties cannot appreciate the situation here.
White men will rule you no matter who is in
office Not so here. If MEN are put in office
here by negro votes the negro becomes a
power in the land and will practically rule.
There be chance for this if the white
people will stand together. We outnumber
the blacks by many thousands in all the
state, but in a few countles here in the CEN
ter Of the state the negroes are largely in
the majority. We desire the good of both
races when we plead for good government.
Under white rule the whole state has prosper
ed. The progress of the negro socially, NOR
ally ana financially has been remarkable. 1t
has been accomplished under the white mans

DR.. A. l., Nance, of Gainesville, put the

THE TWO MEN
Who VIII Have Charge of the National Cam
patgn-HarritY and Carter.

William +. Harrity, the newly elected
chairman Of the democratic national com
mittee, is Il man of signal ability, and is
brilliantly qualified for the work of his
new position.
He is democrat of acknowledged fidel-
ity to the party, and brings to his office as
chairman of the national committee ripe
experience in the management of political
campaigns.
He is at present the secretary of the COM
monwealth of Pennsylvania, a position of
high honor and responsibility In the state
to which he was elected i'm November, 1890.
The credit of the campaign that resulted
In the election of Govern or Pattison is due
in a large measure to the skillful and able
work of Mr. Harrity. lit brought him into

permanent chairman and Messrs. Oscar
Parker and NJ. ID. Irwin, editor of The
Southern Alliance Farmer, as secretaries.
Mr.. Post was elected by accamatlon and
50 were the secretaries named in turn.
When Mr.. Post went up at the bidding
of Chairman Branch, he was greeted by
long applause.
Chairman Mel Branch introduced him with
these words: Il feel that it is not necessary
for me to introduce to you your permanent
chairman. Five years ago he came to Geor-
gia to die But the climate has been such
rejuyenative one that he has grown so strong
as to throw heart and soul into this great
movement and has done much to build up
the peoples party in Georgia"
The permanent chairman expressed ms
heartfelt thanks to the convention for the
honor conferred on him i'll his election
While he was no parliamentarian, he de-
clared he was certain that with such har-
mony as prevailed on this occasion he could
act as the head of the convention with con-
tidence even i'll his inability.

PeouIe Would Head New Revolution.

He Appeals to All that Is Demagogic in the
People, Would Head a New Revolution
Washing July 17-(Special)- tom
Watson mas written a book-'Not It Ete-
volt; 1t Is Il Revolution: the People 5
Party Campaign Book"
But it is very much more Tom than peo-
pies party. Indeed, the third party CON
gresham, from the appearance Of his
book. is proud of himself. His picture
adorns the outer cover. 1t is not modestly
on the inside, but conspicuously covers the
outside.
While Tom lacks Judgment and discre-
ton he is smart and industrious, and he
knows how to boom Tom and keep Tom
before the footlghts of the public stage.
A History of Parties.
The book pretends to give a history OF
all political parties from the foundation
of the government down to the present
day 1t dwells upon the changes OF the
names of parties and seeks to prove that
the peoples party is the natural outcome
of the conditions of the present day. At
ter detailing acts of the parties he sums
mp the situation in this way:
"rhuS the parties stood until all the
disgusted and dissatisfied and oppressed
elements of the old parties united to form
the peoples party. = In old age the
ape is said to be greatly distressed by
his tail 1t gets too long and too heavy
and not only produces mental worry, but
also physical discomfort.
ct is much the same with old political
parties Both democrats and republicans
have more record than they know what
to dc with just at present.
Their tails are in their way"
There Is Slang in 1t.
The book is decidedly slangy all
through All the latest slang political eX-
pressons Of the day are made use Of. 1t
is II book of paragraphs simple, slangy,
shreWdly written to catch the ignorant.
Matters are so presented in it that the
more ignorant can understand and his
arguments. while il many cases ridiculous
to the informed are calculated to catch
the uniformed.
His attacks are almost solely directed
towards the democratic party. He seeks
to show up the records of the democratic
leaders by reCiting what has been said
against them, but furnishing proof of
nothing.
He seeks to prove that neither of the old
parties has redeemed its platform pledges.
Then follows the peoples party plat
forms, demands and various other literl-
ture of the kind.
The Pinkertons and Himself.
He deals with the Pinkertons in the
New York Central strike, giving various
newspaper comments, and comes down
to what he has done to suppress the
Pinkertons, copying from The Congress
sional Record all he has said on the sub
ject of his resolution.
Then he reprcduces the speeches of the
third party men in this congress and
concludes with reproduction of the va
rious articles he has written to the third
party papers on the acts of this congress.
The book is loosely prepared. There
is Il sort of negligent independent style
about it. and in that very thing viii lie
it's strength with the people in whose
hands he intends it to fall.
But as the book sells for dollar the
chances are it will not have very wide
circulation.
