more likely fifty than forty-I have
agreed to answer roll call in the Sen
ate, and be respectful to its presiding
officer for which l will be paid twiee
as much as The PEOPLES PARTY PAPER
now pays me for ten and twelve hours
of work per day. AS l can't be in two
places at one and the same time, drop
two dollars per day and ten hours
work, for four dollars a day and a re-
volving chair to earn it in. If have
made anybody mad by my squbbing
there is d Haven of rest" beyond Mil

this side of the Oconee. If have Of
| Tended any one I regret it, and will
coca-cola the chasm any day they will
meet me at Jacobs Pharmacy. If l
have done any good, the benefciaries
can give me credit at their local bank
and I'll draw on it when my 'four-dol-
lar-per-day" job plays out.
The PEOPLES PARTY PAPER has
grown into national repute, and is now
the leading political paper of the South
IN circulation and influence. | am
proud of the distinction of having con-
tributed a mite to it's prosperity.
Backed, as it is, by the country people
the working men-the combined in
fiuence of all the city dailies have been
| powerless to overcome it's influence
with the honest voters of the country
Stand by your colors comrades You
have driven the enemy to the protec-
ton of partisan Judiciary, and the
sheltering care of the legislature. An
other conflict, and you will rout them
from their places of temporary refuge.

In 1894 every Democrat denied there
was fraud permitted by the election
managers in Richmond county Later
on they admitted it and apologized for
it on the ground that the Pops commit
ted frauds also. In 1895 they held the
election under a new law but kept the
management of the polls in the hands
of the same men who permitted the
frauds in 1894 j. it not reasonable to
suppose that the thief who is convicted
of robbing your smoke house, but not
punished for the act, will commit the
same crime if necessity and opportunity
arise? Does not every man in Georgia
know the frauds OF 1894 could not have
been committed withoat the aid and
connivance of the election managers,
|
calls who robbed Mr.. Watson of his cleo
ton in 1894 would not do the same
thing in 1895 if given the opportunity {?
That's all wool and yard wide
There was spasmodic demand for
one issue of the Augusta Chronicle last

and sheriff turn the corpse loose.

The Atlanta Consti should not desert
the Augusta Chronic in it's dying mo-
ment. Pat and the Chronic stood by
Evan P. and the Consti, when Jim Bar
rett was throwing dynamite bombs.
Consti ought to stand by the Chronic in
its commandment of McGregor.

Ten dollars reward for any evidence,
taken from any live newspaper in
America, showing that the Augusta
Chronicle is alive and doing business at
the old stand References to the Me
Gregor-ism" which appeared in it's col
umns last week are barred.
Brother McGregor says to Watson:
& can't get the negroes out at night
Why was it, do you suppose, Brother
McGregor? They say Mr.. Watson
Jared the same way in Washington
county. The Democrats down there
say the negroes are tired of Watson
and his unfulflled promises, See -
Augusta Chronicle. Yes, l not only
see but saw and I partly conquered.
