The Populists are coming to the
front in the south Notwithstanding
the efforts of both the old parties to
keep them down. The following
from the Wichita COmmOner throws
much light on the subject:
THE rotten, subsidized plutOcratic
press was significantly silent on the
recent county elections in Georgia,
and there are reasons enough. Frank
lin and Hart cOunties-heretofore
Democratic strongholds, and which
rolled up handsome majOrities for
Cleveland last fall, gave nearly all
the county officers to the POpulists,
while in Warren and McDuffie coun-
ties the POpulist majOrities ranged
from $50 to 800. In Augusta and At
lanta the wOrkingmen succeeded in
electing number of candidates. In
Tom Watson's district the Populist
counties roll,d up overwhelming ma.
