People's party paper. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1891-1898, 1896-10-30

ever asked a single man to subscribe
for the Silver Knight Waterman. l
hoped you would stop my paper
when the time expired, but you con-
tinue to send the infamous thing to
me and l assume this privilege of
ordering you to stop my part of that
corrupt organ you call the Silver
Knight Waterman, which doesn't
deserve the patronage Of true reform
ers and not even the name it bears,
only one thing it does deserve, and
that is the condemnation of all, even
to Sewall and his gang, because Of
your treachery. want you to dis
tinctly understand that WE are WAT
SON folks down here and when any
one attacks him as you did in your
issue of October, 8, 1896, under the
heading OF "Opposition to Fusion is
Opposition to Bryau," our Southern
blood boils with righteous indignation
Watson is man of the people,
Stewart is thing against the peo'
pie; Watson labors for the success OF
right, Stewart yearns for the triumph
of wrong; Wat,o is glad to help
his people, Stewart shirks their cause;
Watson is hero, Stewart is traitor;
Watson is Washington, Stewart is
an Arnold. We love Tom Watson,
we revere him, but for Senator VIM.
RI. Stewart we have nothing but con.
tempt. Stewart, you accuse Watson
of being a tool for Hanna. Hanna
like you great deal better than he
does Watson. To vote for Watson
is to vote against Hanna's Mckinley;
to vote for SewaIl is to vote for Han
mas Mckinley. Bryan and Watson
could be elected if there were no
Sewall. If Watson should withdraw
from the race the Peoples party as
q National party would die, while if
SeWall would withdraw, instead of
killing the Democratic party it would
carry the silver banner to victory,
and the gold standard cause would
go down in defeat. Watson can
carry bis home, he can carry his
town, he can carry his county, he
can carry his state and that is why
Hanna likes you better than he does
Tom Watson.
That thing from Maine they call
Sewall, will elect Mckinley. Many
Populists will vote for Mckinley in
order to defeat that Democratic ma
chination which promised to take
Sewall down and substitute Watson
.ad which has failed to 90 it. 70
SANDER Watson is to boom Mckinley
and when you, like fool, sling your
mud down South at our gallant Tom
Watson, you sling it at Southern
pride and nobility, you insult the
manhood of our imperial country Of
industry and dignity, and at the
same time you are cleaning the shoes
of the standard bearer of the despis
ed gold standard, more than thai
you bow in hearty appreciation o.
the threats of the nefarious lunaticl
of Brooklyn and Los Angeles upor
the lie OF Mr.. Watson. Stewart
you are one of the sinners OF 1873
You claim that you didn't know VIDA
you were dong then. Do you know
what you are doing now? Yo1
seem to be imprisoned about some
thing until you are totally uaconciou'
of what you once pretended to be
) you would have been pretty thing
IN the Revolutionary war. We has
heroes in the Revolution that said
Il AN not worth much, but such
AS am the King Of England is MOI
able to bury" That is the kind o.
= patriot m that lifted EngIand's yoke
from Americas neck. Now, il
in times Of peace you allow your owr
pecuniary interests to buy you from
the cause Of the people of whom yor
claim to be one, and have the impu
deuce to Islander the noblest son O
the South. No denuuciation is toe
severe for you and if every reformeI
, in America should rise and denounct
you as scouudrel and traitor, yog
should thank them for giving yot
what you have merlted.
