People's party paper. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1891-1898, 1897-08-06

at st. Louis. ] 90 wonder
if he thought that any genuine we'll
Peoples Party man in the
South would, like the ''sow that was
washed return to the wallowing in
the mire of the old worn out, thread
bare Democratic party. "God forbid!
If he now imagines that he can deceive
Or nislead any true Populist 1 pity his
delusion. can safely assure him that
no man who is a Populist at heart in
Georgia will longer follow his lead.
In all candor aud friendship I would
ask him to resign and let us select
leader whom we can trust, so that we
can again carry out the work of edu-
cation and bring the only party that
is trying to restore autonomy or gov
eminent by the people into the respect
and consideration which it once was
held by all educated lovers of sound
The honest workers at reform have
labored too long in trying to restore
the Governmento of this glorious coun-
try to the people to thus be checked
and held back by Butler, Weaver,
Stewart and the silver trust in general.
THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION.
This old two-faced, self-exploded
sheet is still at the old stand and can
be relied on to misrepresent and deceive
the peple AS an evidence of its cor
ruption will just say, 'only a few days
ago a rock ribbed Democrat said to
me, that he had dismissed the old
rotten thing from his house." He
said that he did not want his family to
read the falsehoods published in it.
This man IS in as high standing as any
man in Cherokee, He further said that
it had for years been run by bar room
bully.
Now why will sensible, intelligent
men ana women any longer patronize
such debaslng institution?
The noble, highminded portion of our
citizens should help the reformers to
elevate the race by giving such wicked
institutions to understand that they
can no longer deceive and mislead the
people.
It seems to revel and glory in trying
to destroy Tom Watson and the reform
movement.
l will give but one instance Its
columns for some weeks in the past has
teemed with the statement that the
Populist conference at Nashville had
discarded Free Silver and turned it
over to the so-called Democrats.
Oh, the exec eding wickedness of a
corrupted press.
CALLING FOR MOURNERS.
1t even has the impudence to ask in
telligent Populists to come back into
it's folds. What would we come back
to this old empty hull for? Has it not
had its chance? Was it not the party
that gave silver; the peoples money,
it's death blow? Is it not the party
that said Grover Cleveland stands
head and shoulders higher, &c,
No, in the language of DR.. Talmage,
this old party filed its cup of iniquity'
when it went out of power before the
war, and before l would go back to it
1 would take its chairman's Jim Jones
advice and go to the negroes.
assert without fear of successful
contradic ton that this old rotten fabric
has ceased it's usefulness and that no
permanent reform can ever be accom-
plished until that party Qike the old
Federal party becomes extinct.
1t and its corrupt press can control
just enough votes to keep the money
power dominant.
AS TO MIR. BRYAN.
Mr.. Bryan and the Democratic press
are flattering them selveswith the vain
delusion will of the wisp" idea that
with the aid of the fusion element
of the Populists he can yet ride into
the Presidential office. That is their
object in trying to throw fire brands
into the ranks Of the honest voters Of
the Populist party. That was the OBJ
ject in corrupting Taubepeck, Butler
and other false leaders. But they will
just have their pains for their trouble
They can never deceive the people
again, and if Mr. Bryan gets to Wash
ington he will have to pay his own
way unless the corporations give him a
free pass
If his emmissaries at st. Louis did
not do the work for him for all time to
come, his effort at lecturing in the in
terest OF monopoly did. Selah!
BROTHER BARRETT TIRED.
We Popalists, l think, should wear
the usual badge of mourning for his
loss as he has returned to his wallow-
ing in Democratic mud. 1 guess he
got tired waiting for Office az the Pops
could not elect him soon enough.
The Dem ocrats viii put him in. They
never fail to put in traitors from our
ranks. They took up Livingston and
Northern and Barrett will make the
trio. Amen.
WHERE is DOBBSp
In answer to so many asking what
has become of J. D. Dobbs, will just
say that he is still natural born Pop
ulist. repeat that l think that he
was born into the world lover of sell
government or government of anC
by the people, and l guess he will die
in the faith once given to our noble
fathers of revolutionary fame who
fought eight years for the glorious lib
erty of sef government which nov
