People's party paper. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1891-1898, 1896-07-10

Let the negro Democrat rouse him.
self.
Let him shake the dewdrops of
his name and tail, ard lift his resonant
roar. The jungle is lonely without
him. Let him put himself in evidence,
SO that the procession may start. We
jusS can't think of moving peg until
the negro Democrat speaks. Let him
asst m9le himself together and make
known bis wants. His grievances.
And his rosy hopes. Lethim state
in plain EnglishIwhat positions will
satisfy him. And how many of them
ne must have.
When be formulates himself in this
business-liks way, we can play ball
but it is madness to think of start
ing until the negro Dem ,crat tips us
his cheerful and biennial howl.
According to the Washington Post
the South is not considered very
much in selecting the man to head
the National Democratic ticket. The
North, the East and the West are
the con rolling fsctors-especially
the North and the East. AS to the
South the politicians consider her
vote as certain, no matter who the
nominee may be. So insolent are
they in this assumption that the
remark is common among them that
"1Ae South a0ouId cote for dead
dog on the Democratic ticket"
My authority is The Washington
Post Of July 4, 1895.
God pity the South!
Down into this mire of humiliation
and shame has the Tammany Hall
Democracy led her. Her people are
boes-r dden and prejudice. bound,
they are fed on political lies, frauds
and hypocrisies, they are kept chained
to old sectionalisms, race hatreds,
party traditions and party names,
until their blind idolatry of serfdom
excites the derision and the scorn of
the politicians themselves.
Think of Tammany Hall Demo
crst, reeking with the rottenness Of
New York politics, insolently assert
ing that the South need not be con-
sidered in the naming Of a Presiden-
tial candidate - that "the South
would vote for a dead dog on the
Democratic ticket"

Here is an item to think about:
81 think that Louisiana is by no
means certain to 60 Democratic this
year, said Mr. a. Dugas, of that
Safe, at the Riggs, "although the
nomination of free silver candidate
will undoubtedly strengthen the
party. A great many of our people
are partial to Mckinley on account
of his protection policy. They want
protection for their sugar, and the
Democratic free trade programme is
anything but popular down our way.
Though lifelong Democrat, would
be glad to see the Republicans carry
the State"
The Mckinley Bill gave to the
millionaire sugar planters of Loui-
siana reward of some ten million
dollars per ysar for making sugar.
Where did the Government get the
money with which this reward was
paid
From the people who raise corr,
wheat, cotton, etc.
The Wilson Bill repealed the Sugar
Bounty law.
And now come the louisiana mil
lionalres and say they viii vote for
Mckinley with the expectation that
the Government will again make
them gift Of ten millions per year
as a reward for growing cane instead
of cotton,
Ths Fulton County Populists,
speaking through the Chairman of
the Executive Committee, deny that
they have any intention Of returning
TO the Democratic fold. Thu Atlanta
Constitution mjsrepresented them,
just as we supposed.
