WATCH THEM.
A MENACING DANGER IN THE
SOUTH,
An Effort by Free Silver Congressmen tc
Sldetrack the PopuI'sts

Sdetrack the PopuIlsts.
Never before il the history of the
Democratic party Of the south or any
other place was there as much dis
satisfaction as at present The reasons
for this are obvious. The action Of
the party on the silver question; the
hostility Of Cleveland to everything
in the interest Of the masses; the
panic and general depression OF busi-
ness everywhere; the failure to redeem
its pledges 10 the people; and the
quarreling, quibling and filibustering,
the divisions and petty jea!ousies and
chickering's all have created a disgust
that is causing disin:ergration Of the
Democratic party in the south.
The southern politicians are alarmed
over the situation. Two years ago
they went before the people and
promised that if they were given a
chance they would pass free silver
law, abolish tie Mckinney tariff law,
do away with national banks and W pc
up the ground with the trusts.
Not one of these things have they
done.
! On the other hand they have gone
to Il greater length in the interest of
Wall street ,l'an.'-thc Republicans
, did:
What will they say to the people IN
the coming campaign? What account
can they render Of their stewardship?
What excuse can they plead for then
promises?
These are the questions that arc
troubling the politicians, of the south
and causing them to law awake OF
nights.
