est upon the bonds, stocks, mort
cages, ETC., which they held against
us. Do you suppose they will allow
a war--the very first result of which
will be that the tribute we pay them
will cease?
Cleveland issues bonds to get gold,
then turns loose the gold to get
greenbacks, then issues bonds to get
the gold again. Why not reverse
the thing awhile? Why not issue
greenbacks to get gold? Do you
say he couldn't get geld for green
backsS
Try it and see.

Chairman Tsubeneck has called a
meeting OF the National Executive
Committee for Jan II, 1896. The
place Of the meeting is the Linden
Hotel, St. Louis, Missouri. The
purpose Of the meeting is to decide
upon the time and place for the next
Populist National Convention.
Thus the ball begins to roll. The
indications are that 1896 will be the
stormiest campaign year this country
has known.
We have made arrangements to
have our paper printed more speedily
hereafter and to get it to our sub
scribers more promptly. We will
publish larger amount of news and
a greater variety OF reading matter.
We expect to add the Cartoon fea-
ture soon.
Thus we hope to be in better
shape to do our full share of the
fighting in the great battle of 1896.
n
Our friends brought US hand
some addition to subscription lists
last week, and encouraged US greatly
by their proofs of jealous friendship
for the paper.
II this revival Of interest can be
steadily kept up until every Populist
in Georgia is fired with energy and
determination, there is no power on
earth that can keep us from success
in 1896.
The contest in the Tenth goes
merrily on. Our witnesses are not
confined to the Peoples party. By
Democrats Of the. highest standing
we are showing up systematic cor
ruption Of the ballot. box in Augusta.
Read the testimony Of Rev. VIM. B.
Stradley, prominent Methodist di-
vine. He was a Democrat at the
time the special election was held,
and had voted the ticket up to that
time.
We are making out a case which
damns the Augusta bosses, and
which Congress cannot afford to ig-
more. We ara going to prove by I'M
improbable testimony every charge
we have made against those unscru-
pulous s'oundrels. We are g ing to
prove to the whole country that J. G
G. Black holds fraudulent title, and
knows it to be so. He has refused
every honorable proposition we have
made him looking to a fair and
speedy settlement, here at home, of
the vexed question which has rent
the district. He has refused all our
offers. lie will agree to nothing
that does not keep him in the seat,
In vain have we appealed for decent
methods, honest treatment, and a
fair election. In vain have we
pleaded for justice. In vain have
we invoked at the hands of our OPP
ponents that honorable treatment
which We have always accorded to
them, and to which we are entitled
under the law.
~
They need cot believe that we
ever intended to submit to the infa
nous outrage they have put upon
us. We have not deserved such
treatment, have done nothing to jus
tify it, and we do not intend to rest
under it.
Populism holds majority in this
district, and no little squad OF po-
Iitical trlokgters have the right to
say that they will not allow the ma
jority to rule. Tbs district is being
