Disfranchisement,
I jo th, Editor of The Georgian:
Since The Georgian bu had an In-

10 which he seriously reflects upon me,
I desire a brief space tot reply.
I wish to say In the first place
tint I have found hut one Populist
I leader who admits that he advised Mr.
Watson prior to Ills speech of Septem
ber 1, 1904. on the disfranchisement
! Question. I hnve not consulted Mr.
Sibley nor Mr. McGregor as to the
| truth of Mr. Watson’s statement. but<I
have a very distinct recollection of
[ having been In Judge Hines’ office some
weeks ago, at which time he stated to
me most positively, In reply to my
Question, "With whom did Mr. Watson
consult before he made that speech,
I pledging the Populist party to the dis
franchisement of the negro?” His re-
! ply was: "Nobody—none of the lead
ers, certainly not me. I tried to get
Mm to tell me what he was going to
I aay In his speech nnd he refused." My
recollection Is that Chairman Holloway
was present at this conference, and I •

Replies Strongly to
Editorial in How
ell’s Paper.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
I have no disposition to make your
paper a Smith organ, but as your rep
resentative sought me between the
Plow handles to obtain the Interview In
regartl to the Populist state ticket,
which haa been made the basts of a
leading editorial In The Constitution In
which the editor seems to think that he
has now struck the "lie” that will
grease the Howell machinery and cause
It to run to a successful end, I ask
apace In your paper to meet the editor
of The Constitution (said to be Mr.
Howell) with his own srguments.
Let’s Bee If Mr. Howell’s lightning
won’t do him as applied by his own
rule. It la needless to rehearse to your
readers the tactics of Mr. Howell’s
campaign since his stand-pat, let-well-
enough-alone platform has failed to
rally a majority of the Populists tq hla
standard. Hla policy toward them has
been to discourage their taking part In
the primary. Notwithstanding the fact
that their organisation has been broken
up for six years, the big Howell organs
have been working hard for some time
to reorganise the Pops, and as there is
to be a ticket put In the field, I sup
pose they think their triumph Is at

think he stated practically the same t h "^ S"
thing, or, at leant, that he did' not give
any such advice aa Watson claims.
The next paragraph of the statement
of Mr. Watson sounds more like a mil
itary or naval commander. It was
| Nelson, I believe, who said In a great
naval conflict, "England expects every
man to do his duty today.” Mr. Wat-
aon, In his imperial way, says: ”1 will
expect all Populists, who then indorsed
me, to stand by me,” but will they do
I ft, and will they stand by all he says,
1 whether authorised to say it or not?
The main point in this Interview of
Mr. Watson that interests me Is the
following paragraph: “The most active
! workers for the convention were John
Fullwood, who Is a Republican and
holds an office under Roosevelt os
postmaster of Cedartown, and Yancey
Carter, long a Republican deputy mar
shal under A. E. Ruck, then a Populist,
who was denounced by me In the Peo
ple's Party paper for his shameful vote
against the anti-bar room bill after he
had been elected to the state senate on
the first place, there isn’t a pubflc man
In the state, Including Tom Watson,
who does not know that when I was
appointed deputy by Marshal Buck I
was a Democrat, and any statement to
the contrary Is absolutely false. N •«-.
m to the denouncement oy Watson In
his paper at the time of my vote
against the anti-bar room bill, I have
this to say, that denouncement con
tained more than one absolute un
truth. When he said then, and when
he says now, that I made my race on
that Issue, that is, the anti-bar room
bill, he was and Is guilty of uttering a
Migrate untruth. 1 recoiled well aJJ
about that campaign, and I know what
Watson will say, and all that he bases
this charge on, Is that I was chairman
of the platform committee at the state
convention when the plank declaring
against open bar rooms was Inserted
for the first time In a Populist plat
form. When he said In that denounce
ment In his paper that I favored the
plank and worked to get It In the plat
form he stated what he knew to be un
true. if he repeats it now he will utter
an untruth, and every member of that
committee knows this to be true. An
other thing about this campaign I rec
ollect is that I was a candidate for the
•ennte before this convention met and
had declared myself most postlvely, In
the presence of the executive commit
tee of Bart county, composed of forty
men, my opposition to adding anything
to our platform at the coming state
convention, particularly anything look-
in* to the Indorsement of the so-called
Rush Btl|, which was at that time agi
tating the public mind. On another oc
casion, In a public speech In the acad
emy near Airline, In Hart county, I
warned my friends against this folly
and declared my hostility thereto. La
ter on In a Joint discussion with Hon.
A 0. McCurry, my opponent In this
campaign, I most positively declared
that I would vote against this bill.
There were mor4 than 100 men present
«t each of these meetings. If I made
my race on that Issue, as Mr. Watson
•ays 1 did, when and where did I ad
vocate It?
Now, as to the servlet and help ren
dered me by Mr. Watson In my race
for the senate, he did make two
•peechet In my senatorial district. I
*a* present at both meetings. In
neither of his speeches did he say one
word about the anti-bar room plank or
Yancey Carter. He was at that time a
candidate for vice president: discussed
national issues, and It was then, as It Is
nos. at it always has been and as It al
ways will be—Watson, Watson, Wat
son.
" hen Mr. Watson charges that Full-
wood and I are the agents, or emlssa-
of the Howell-McWhorter ring he
Jitters a statement that he and every-
sody must know to be untrue.
It 111 becomes Mr. Watson to charge

toward the old-line Democrat, has been
to prejudice those who have never
voted the Populist ticket by crying
"Watch the line-up”—Wright, Watson,
Hines, Peek, etc., nnd now In this arti
cle because I said Hoke Smith stood
for reform In the state that the Pops
had advocated all the time, The Con
stitution thinks It hoe fyund a mare's
nest Indeed.
In big capitals, the editor says, "As
Mr. Ward so frankly nays, Mr, Smith
atands for the same principles that the
Populist party atood for, nnd for this
reason I am going to vote for him.'
Then he asks what have the Demo
crats to say about this? Then he says
If It means anything it means that Mr.
Hoke Smith Is openly and braxenly
seeking the aid of Democrats on a
platform that during the past fifteen or
twenty years the Democratic party has
been wrong and the Populist party haa
been right. Then he say», "Do tho
Democrats of Georgia believe this?”
It will be seen at a glance thnt Mr.
Howell aeeka to prejudice the old-line
Democrats against Hoke Smith because
he Is contending for some of the re
forms thnt the Populists advocated, to-
wit: Abolition of free passes, against
corporation funds In elections, against
lobbying and so on. Your readers are

Washington, June 27.—Congress will

Cannon and his lieutenants, and Is be
ing emphasized at this time to court

It Is still hoped that congress will

but unless strong pressure Is brought
to bear on those conferees liming sev

The conferences holding up legisla

In the railroad rate squahble the

Senator Tillman holds that they should.
A speedy agreement on this seems
hardly probable at present.

main trouble Is over the amendment

no danger then from Populism, oven
had Bryan been elected, whore Ih the
danger now, should a candidate for
governor on that platform be elected?
Mr. Howell cannot claim a change of
heart, for he recently wrote an editor
ial on Bryan’s vindication and la ap
pointed to meet Bryan when he returns
home. And Bryan hna been converted
to the government ownership of rail
roads, since Howell last voted for him.
The only difference Is that he wants
tho state to own them and the Pops
want the nation. Yet Howell says
Bryan’s principles have been vindi
cated. _. . _
B What say the Democrats to this?
when the new party wae springing to Howell has for years been supporting
tho front like a young giant, Clark
Howell was In the front rank of the
Democratic leaders who adopted Ha
platform In toto. Hines had polled
90,000 votes, after the culling In 1894.
It has been eald that Howell admitted
his election. At any rate, two years
afterwards, Mr. Howell made a loud,
long and vociferous plea for the re
formed Democracy led by Bryan, and
Invited the Pops to “Come back, we
stand for your platform.” The Demo
cratic and Populist platforms were
nearly alike, except the railroad plank.
The Democrats seenied to think that
free silver was the main plank, and Mr.
Howell was the biggest duck In the
puddle. He and Crisp kicked Hoke
down stairs. The old-line Democrats
did not follow his Populistic lead.
Among them In this county was Col
onel J. Hans el I Merrill, who at this
time seems to be Mr. Howell’s best man
In Thomas county. He would have
none of It in hls’n, but hied him away
to Indianapolis, and organized him a
new “old-line Democratic party,” with
a gallant Union general at the head and
a gallant Confederate general bringing
up the rear. My, how Clark did riddle
them, hoof, horns and all. because they
would not swallow the Populistic plat
form. He said they were trying to
wreck the Democratic party as Mc
Kinley dscoy ducks.
Now, the editor of The Constitution
says Just what I wanted to say In the
Interview. Hoke Smith has committed
the unpardonable political sin by ad
vocating some of the Populist state re
forms. How much better Is Clark's
condition, when he has swallowed the
national Populist baggage, boots and
all. Did Mr. Howell believe In the doc
trine he preached then. or he tr Y-
tng to fool the people? If there waa
Bryan and Populism, nationally, while
he sandbags, and denounces as a dem
agogue, the candidate that favors some
of the Populist state reforms.
