II CnafleS Il. crisp wants WIN. =.
Whitney for President, the Ishmaelite
doesn't want Charles f. Crisp for any
thing. No sincere friend of financial
reform can favor mere creature of
the money ring for an Office which will
enable him to perpetuate the present
infamous financial system, -Sparta
Ishmaelite
How about your advocacy of Major
Black who voted to kill the only law
which recognized silver as part of the
circu ating currency in 1898, and was
nominated by Cleveland-Whltney-
Crisp gold bug, at the Crawfordville
convention in '95?
If Mr.. Blacks votes in congress were
not creatures of the money ring" they
have no parentage.

The Ishmaelite wants "a victory for
Mr.. Black which will leave no incurable
wounds" Then give the Populists
equal representation at each polling
precinct in Hancock county, on the day
of election; allow every citizen to de-
post his ballot without threats, intim-
idation or violence refuse the election
managers at Sparta the privilege of
dining the ballot-box in room from
which all Populist are excluded allow
the votes counted as cast, when the
consolidated returns are made up, and
if the Pops are defeated they will take
it CT eerfully and contentedly Other
wise, they WONT!
The Missouri World says: Speaker
Crisp, silver democrat, has been in
terviewed. So has Hoke Smith, gold
bug democrat. Both. are prominent
Georgians, and both favor Standard
Oil-Goldbug- Whitney for President in.
96. 1t is such men as these that con-
troll nominating conventions, too.
In the congressional election in No.
vember 1894 Richmond county polled
$4,000 votes and the managers counted
$4,000 of them, making Mr.. Black win
ner by 1878 majority. The registrar
ton just closed foots up 7,4O0 voters.
Now you know why Major Black re-
signed.
#*
a city that voted $4,000 ballots out of,
a registry of .4ea voters, owes. ~ zoo t-of
which were not 81 years old in 1894,
should add sack cloth and ashes to
the mantle of silence" What kind of
title bad Major Black to resign?

The mills of the gods grind slow but
sure. The addition of 1900 81 year old
negroes to the registration list recently
closed in Augusta is illustrative of
white supremacy" as practiced by
Georgia Democrats.
OF the Z, 400 voters registered in Au-
gusta so per cent are negroes, and 1900
of these were born in 1s74-just p
years ago Who is responsible for the
perjury many of these poor negro boys
committed ? Major Black, Boykin
Wright, or both ? Looks like the Chris
tian gentleman will have to sail out of
the ash again and re-import Ham,
Shem, and Jepthat and manufacture
more ''mantles of oblivion"
**
In one ward in Augusta 242 negroes
registered as just '21 years OF age"
The total white and black, registered
in this ward in the hottest campaigns
heretofore has never been higher than
295. More kiyer, please, Bro Black.
w*x
In the past seven years the American
congress has voted over 1000, 900 for
the maintenance of the Catholic schools
among the Indians. In some, if not
all, of these schools the PROTESTANT
Bible, and the ENGLISH language is
forbidden 1t is said Major Black
voted that way. More kiver, if you
please.
The entire total registration of all
! colors in the 123 district Augusta is
registered as just "2l years old" and
fifty as ''22 years old - Getting rather
warm for kiver, now!
M%
7,40O to- 6 registration in Richmond:
1900 are negroes nder2l-that couldn't
vote in the election in 1914. 1900 from
7,400 leaves $500 votes. Where DID Mr..
Black get his 1878 majority from in
'04 p?
$50
The democratic papers of Augusta
give the total reg istration in Richmond
county as T, 400 1t is claimed that
$500 of these are negroes. The United
States census of 1890 says Richmond
county had SLIP white males voting
age. 1t thus appears that little less
than so per cent of the white voters of
that county refused to qualify for the
