at the request and desire of majority
of the Democratic members of the
House."
In the face of this record how
should we measure Mr.. Crisp's fealty
to the cause Of silver? Shall we ap-
ply the yard stick to his weak vote
as Congressman, or to his powerful
manipulations as Speaker.
Shall we establish the rule that
pledges made in secret caucus out
weigh public pledges made to the
people? If so, Mr.. Crisp will make
an excellent leader in the Democratic
battle for free silver at the ratio OF
16 to 1.

s. G. McLendon's Opinion.

Mr.. Curtis, correspondent of the
Chicago RECORD, a few weeks since,
gave Mr.. McLendon's opinion Of
politics an airing through the col
umns of the RECORD.
This week he gives the Thomas
vile statesman's opinion of poor
white people.
Mr.. McLendon is an attorney for
the Plant System of Railroads, and
sprung from the loins of the poor
white man. Here is "the opinion :"
"There's nothing in the world that
surpasses the contempt of a negro
for poor white man." said Col. Nc
Tendon. 81 suppose it is inherited.
A white man who didn't own slaves
in the old times was considered be-
meath the notice of a respectable
negro, and the feeling has grown
more pronounced since emancipa-
ton. Then, again, the plantation
overseers were usually poor whites.
The negroes all hated them, and
they may have taken some satisfac-
ton in contempt for the whole
class they represented.
"The other day l was walking
along the street when colored man
came by driving before wagon the
most forlorn specimen of COW l
have ever seen. She was an ami
mated skeleton, and half her hide
YVES bare where she had rubbed off
the hair. One horn was gone, and
the other dropped as if it were fall
ing out. She was just able to creep
and drag the wagon along after her,
but the old darkey who was driving
beat the poor beast with stick and
exclaimed: 'G'long Oar, naow, you
poor white trash p"
"Guyt" should get an iron band
around his head, and a gag in his
mouth.

Speaker Crisp in Line.

The interview with ex-Speaker
Crisp, printed in another column,
sets him in line as one of the most
important leaders of the great popu-
lar movement toward remedying the
financial situation,
The record of ex-Speaker Crisp in
congress is that of an unfinching
advocate of the restoration of the
free coinage of silver. Conserva-
tive by instinct, opposed to violent
changes, and avoiding exuberance of
language, he possesses the essential
qualification for successful leader
ship. Because of his conservatism
Of speech, there have been those
who, forgetting his uniform votes,
have been engaged in making it APP
pear that his position was doubtful.
Now Mr.. Crisp speaks for himself
and in words bold enough, but not
holder than the votes he was always
bold enough to cast in Congress. He
declares that silver, now that the
tariff has been settled, Las become
the main question; that the CON-
mon people of the country, ire
spective of party, favor It's restored
free coinage; that the Democratic
party is the agency through which it
must be accomplished that upon
this point the national platform of
1896 must be plain beyond perad-
venture, and that the nominee Sc
lected must come from the West,
where his surroundings will be such
as to guarantee his fidelity to the
platform adopted.
AS the leader of the Democratic
minority in the next House, Mr..
Crisp's duties will be delicate and
arduous. He will have the shaping,
to a large degree, of he policies
which will enter into the Democratic
People's party paper. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1891-1898, 1895-05-03
One Thousand Papers Subsidized

According to the New York
HERALD an important crusade
against Bi-metallism was inaugu-
rated in New York last week. Ex-
Secretary Fairchilds, J. Dewitt
Warren, VIM. J. Combs, E. Ellery
Anderson, E. P. Wheeler and 9TH
ers are identified if not prime
movers in the scheme.
About a thousand newspapers
throughout the country have agreed
to aid the schemers by publishing as
editorial matter articles prepared by
the gold syndicate in New York.
These articles will attack the fnan-
cial theories of Thomas Jefferson
and the advocates of free coinage of
silver.
The Reform Club of New York,
which entertained Speaker Crisp be-
fore he showed his animus against
the free coinage of silver, is the
head-center of gold-bugism and ma
nipulator of the movement. For
months past this club has been
quietly working among its two or
three thousand members scattered
through ut the country preparatory
to opening the crusade. The rapid
advance made by the free silver SEN
timent at the South and West forces
the club to come out into an open
field fight. Therefore they have
concluded to use such newspapers
as they can in the effusion of New
York gold monometallist sentiment
and not the thought or sentiment of
the editor of the paper. Democratic
and Republican newspapers will
agree upon sound money however
much they may disagree as to other
policies. The only hope for this
country to escape gold monometal-
lism is through the success of the
Populist party. And the sooner
Southern and Western free silverites
or bi-metallists recognize the fact
the better for the prosperity OF
America.

Clayton County Election Case.

The Populists have a majority of
the votes in Clayton county. Nobody
doubts it.
Their vote was legally polled in
the January election. Nobody
disputes it.
But the Democrats hold the offices
in Clayton county and will continue
to draw the salary for two years
from January 1895.
How is this outrage upon the right
of the people to choose their officers
perpetrated?
By Democratic election Managers
refusing to count the Popu ist major
lty and the Democratic Judiciary
of the state sustaining the managers
illegal action.
Why did not Governor Atkinson
refuse to issue the commissions and
order new election?
Because the Democratic Attorney
General says Democratic Governor
cannot 90 behind the fraudulent re-
turns made by Democratic rascals
And Democratic Ex-Governor
Northen is inviting northern and
western freemen to buy land and
settle in state whose Judiciary and
executive unite in DISTINGUISHING them
by refusing to count their ballot as
cast.
And the Silver Democrats of
Georgia expect the Populists of
Clayton county to lick the hand that
smites them by uniting with party
whose Judiciary and executive re-
fuse to recognize their American
born rights!
Such brazen- brass irritates the
vomiting machinery.

Der. Fl. K, was Republican and
F. B., was Democrat. 1t was
alleged that they usually contributed
100000 each to the campaign fund
OF their respective parties. This
liberal contribution gave the firm a
'pulr' on the party that got into
power. 1t should be remembered
and never forgot that the Demo.
cratic party had what was called a
free silver plank in their platform of
1892. F. B. Thurber, the Democrat,
was solicited to publish in the North
American REVIEW in August 1892
an article setting forth the effect a
Presidential year had upon business,
from which we clip the following:
sentiment has a powerful infu-
once upon business, notwithstanding
the proverb that there is mo senti-
ment in business The silver ques-
ton is an illustration of this. 1t is
safe to say that an infinitely greater
number of new business enterprises
await the settlement of this question
than any other upon which the Pres
idential election has bearing. There
is feeling among investors-the
men who furnish the money for
large business enterprises-that they
want to go slow until this question is
out of the way. The men
who are agitating free silver are
retarding business activities and pre-
venting the investment of capital in
this country, however just their con-
tention may be. AS
to the differing policies of the two
principal parties affecting business
interests, they are not likely to diff
fer as much in performance as they
do in the promise of political cam
paign. The business
men of the country should make
their voices heard upon these main
questions of policy no matter which
party wins, so that radical and un-
wise action from any source may be
discouraged"
The agitation of the silver question
was thought by Democratic Thur
Der to be very dangerous to the
"men who furnish the money for
large business enterprises" and
while he believed the Democratic
party would not do what they prom
ised, he advised the business men to
"make their voices heard upon the
main question of policy"
1t was the Congress of 1872 which,
under the manipulation of Speaker
Crisp, killed the Bland Silver bill.
Mr.. Crisp promised Mr.. Bland
that he would stand by his bill and
force it to vote. At the critics
moment Mr.. Crisp not only failed
stand by his promise, but backed
completely.
The business men-the ssmen who
furnish money for big enterprises"
had succeeded in making a Demo.
cratic Congress hear their voice.
But it didn't save the firm of
Thurber & Co.-they were bor-
the advanced value of
gold forced them to the wall In 1898.

Speaker Fleming's Letter.

non. w. IL. lemlnSs Speaker
the Georgia House of Representa-
tives, has a three column letter il
Thursdays CONSTITUTION, express
i've of his political creed in the past
present and future.
Coming as it does from the Tent
Congressional District where a can
didate is to be nominated by tn,
Democratic party to contend for thu
vacancy caused by the resignation o
aSHon. j. G. G. Black, Mr.. Fleming
letter assumes an importance greater
than attaches to the mere opinion o.
a member of the General Assembly
1t is to be regretted that Mr.
Fleming did not control his patisan
zeal in the preparation and expires
sion of his sentiments as dexterously
as he has skilfully manipulated his
political opinions to fit the emer-
gency surrounding his party in the
Tenth district.
There are two parties in Georgia
among the whites and the blacks.
The division has occurred. Whether
wise or unwise, it is an accomplished
"fact and not theory that confronts
us" on that line. Recruits from the
one to the other is the means by
which dominant strength will be OBJ
tanned in the future. Democrats
outside of the Tenth district are be-
ginning to recognize this fact and
are trimming their sails with argu-
ment. The Populists have recog-
nized it from the start and will fight
it out on that line to the finish. Why
the Democratic leaders In the Tenth
district, and especially Augusta, in
sist upon dealing in slurs and abuse,
which ALLEVIATE friends and damage
the city's commerce is an enigma
hard of solution.
Speaker Jennings arraignment OF
the Democratic party for duplicity
is patent whether so intended or not,
and as we have endeavored for four
wears to convince "the great mass OF
the common people who form the
backbone of the nations strength
and power" that the "men who con-
troll" the Democratic Party were pc,
litical thimble-riggers and deceivers,
we will be excused by the conserv-
alive Democrat for our present com.
ments upon Mr.. Fleming's utterances.
He says:
"Both the great political parties
rDemocrat and Republican have
heretofore in their platf' rms pro
fessed a desire to preserve both
metals as redemption money and
have succeeded by aptly turned
phrases in beguiling the people into
fancied security. Perhaps that
course was wisest. Perhaps the
times were not ripe. But the time
for dalIying is gone. Equivocatior
is no longer possible"
That is an exceedingly bold charge
of duplicity against the Democratic
party from the Speaker of the Dem
cratic House of Representatives; anc
while Speaker Fleming may thinl
"aptly turned phrases" used Sin be-
guiding thereople" is "wisest," wher
practiced upon confding but igno
rant constituency, he has discovered
that it won't do to practice an OLE
lie upon people who have success
fully exposed the deceivers. Henc
he says, "equivOcation is no longe
possible" Evidence of penitence
not an unusual manifestation, but tn
verdict "guilty" generally Nprecede
the manifestation. ~

acts of the last General Assembly.
1t is further evidenced by the Gov
ernor forcing the banks to pay in
terest upon the States deposits.
The greater part of Mr.. Fleming's
letter being reiteration of the doc
trines which we have heard the
Hon. Thos. E. Watson expound du-
ring the last four years, we can
heartily endorse them, and consist

face of these facts, Of which he has
personal and official knowledge, he
goes to the public branding them as
unworthy to wear public honors and
discharge official functions,and pleads
with them to prove they are not
"partisans but patriots" by casting
their ballots for representatives of a
political party which he openly
charges with duplicity, deception
and equivocation :! 4!
= "Why should they the Populits ]
not cease their vain struggles and en-

Because your party has been I'M
true to the principles of Thomas JEFF
ferson; because your party has been
untrue to the example of Andrew
jackson; because your party is the
twin brother of Repblicanism-the
father of protection, and promoter
of monopolies, trusts and combines ;
because your party has been untrue
to the promises it made, the prom
ises you made, and the promises
your State platform made; because
your party leaders helped demone-
tie silver in 1878; because your
party was given chance by the
people and by Preside Cleveland
to remonetize silver in 1913 and it
struck down the only law by and
through which silver found its trick
ling way into our currency; because
your party has forfeited the conf
dence of every man in the Populist
party and ninety per cent of the
members of your own party; be-
cause your party has lied to the peo-
pie, and your leaders have lied
about US; because self-respect is the
foundation of individual character
and the individual is part of the
of the Republic - the
loss Of the former involves the ruin
of the latter.

lip himself. He was poor, his pension
withdrawn, sick, alone, except for one
faithful friend and attendant who had
followed him years ago from Spain.
Finally in January of 1911 he sent this
faithful attendant, Gil de Ia Mesa to
Madrid, imploring the court of the inuuisi-
ton that he be allowed to present him
self for fair trial on the original clauses,
before the holy Office at S~aragoza, ask
ing only that no account be made of his
lnvasions and escapes. This was not
granted, but how he longed for native
land and kin can be seen from the re-
guest. Finally his faithful Gil de la
Mesa Journeyed to Rome and succeeded
in convincing his holiness of Parez's in
nocence in part at least, and of his re-
p~entance. The Pope granted him absolu-
ton. The faithful Gil returned to Paris
to give him this consolation at least in
his dying hour. for Parez died in Paris in
November of the same year 1911.
But the trial began twenty-seyen
years before in Madrid was not ended by
the death of the defendant. Still against
his name and lineage stood the accusa-
ton as of old, for in the Inquisitional
court sentence against a dead body may
be passed. Then, for the sake of her
sons, the wife once more approached the
lnquisition armed with the Pope's abso-
luton. For the sake of these sons the
court OF the holy Office pronounced the
sentence held in waiting all these years.
They declared him not guilty, restored
his name and honor to his descendants,
and the long trial of thirty-one years
was ended.
Is there any man in history who has
such a record as this of Antonio Parez?
