Almost Ready to Point Him Out.
Stonewall Alliance, No. 1650, of
Cobb county, adopted the following
resolutions at its last meeting :
Whereas, We, the AHiancemen,
frequently hear remarks not very
complimentary of ourselves or very
becoming in those who make them;
therefore
Resolved, - That in the future, as in
the past, we will usually treat such
remarks with the silent contempt
they deserve. We do not object —in
fact we invite friendly criticisms and
honest discussions of our principles.
We claim to be honest and truthful
men, and credit our neighbors and
opponents with being the same—all
striving for the same object, “the
greatest good for the greatest num
bers.” Then why should we abuse
and persecute each other? Attack
our principles, meet us in fair and
open discussion, and show us if you
can where we are wrong and we will
thank you and endeavor to get right.
But please do not so far forget your
self as a business man and citizen of
Acworth did when the news arrived
that our National President, Col. L.
L. Polk, was dangerously ill; he said
that he hoped Colonel Polk would
die, added other names and other
wishes which we will not repeat,
We claim that such remarks are
mean, cowardly and contemptible,
and we feel much like the minister
did who was much annoyed by a
young gentleman engaged in conver
sation while he was preaching: Fi
nally the preacher paused and said,
“If that young man with freckeled
face and red hair sitting against the
second post does not cease talking I
will be compelled to point him out
to the congregation.” Yes. we feel
much inclined “to point him out.”
We pity bis ignorance of his own
interest, and deplore the deep de
pravity into which he has fallen. He
will henceforth be held in utter con
tempt by us and all good citizens.
But words are inadequate, and we
pass him with the remark that any
Allianceman can get his name and
other items by applying to any mem
ber of Stonewall Alliance.
The People’s Party in Baldwin.
I write to congratulate you and the
country upon the work that is being
done in the cause of reform by your
paper and that noble. Roman, Hon.
Thos. E. Watson. The local press
has been against us all the time, and
for that reason we were slow in or
ganizing, but I am happy to say we
are now organized, and, with the re
form papers to help fight our battles,
we are coming with a rush.
Brother S. A. Walker, the old war
veteran, has been with us, and it is
needless to say he put new life and
energy into the party.
Col. Joseph E. Pottle, of Milledge
ville, a lawyer of repute and one of
the very best exponents of the prin
ciples of the party, is also doing
much for the cause, and but for his
recent illness would have been a
tower of strength in the Sixth Con
gressional district. Vigilant, brainy,
and fully consecrated to the work of
reform, we have laid our hands upon
him to represent us in the next Con
gress, and shall ask the district con
vention to send him thither to enter
the political arena with Watson and
his gallant band.
Like the country at large, our peo
ple are poverty-stricken and finan
cially depressed, and many in the
merciless grasp of plutocracy, but I
am confident we are growing stronger
and stronger every day, and will roll
up handsome majorities in all of the
elections this fall.
Hurrah for Weaver and Field,
Watson and the People’s Party!
Baldwin.
Emanuel County.
At Red Oak Chapel in Emanuel
county on the 9th day of July, 189'2,
our people gathered for a grand rally
for the People’s Party. The good
people turned out in that neighbor
hood three or four hundred in num
ber. They were entertained by a
ringing speech by our district lectur
er 11. L. Smith for two hours.
Then followed a magnificent dinner
spread by our good ladies—by Peo
ple’s Party ladies. Every body
feasted, after which the Hon. W. R.
Kemp addressed the people. He is
our best loved citizen and is to be
the next Representative to Congress
from the First District.
The next speaker was the vener
able Capt. A. C. Flanders, of this
county, who is certain to represent
Emanuel county in the next General
Assembly. Several other short
speeches were made by true and
good People’s Party men, and then
was organized the biggest People’s
Party club in our memory—even the
wives and daughters all joining the
club. Hurrah for Red Oak and old
Emanuel! Count on us for reform,
and set us down as certain to carry
Emanuel county for the People’s
Party three to one.
The Jonesboro News has been re
vived as an Alliance People’s Party
paper. Welcome, brother, to the
true faith.
Carroll County all Right.
Bowden, Ga., July 11, 1882.
The Constitution of July 5, in set
ting the action of the Democratic
primaries of Carroll county before the
public, says that the Hon. Chas. L.
Moses carries Carroll county “solid.”
I am not competent to fully define
the word “solid” at present; guess,
though, it means the solid Democrat
ic vote of Carroll county. Moses re
ceived 368 votes in the county. Car
roll county generally polls near four
thousand votes in a general election.
I therefore can’t see how 368 votes
in a primary would be called “solid.”
I don’t think the Constitution intend
ed to exactly misrepresent the pri
mary of Carroll, but to simply try a
bluff on the People'e Party in the 4th
Congressional district. We are here,
Mr. Constitution, with our faces all
one way, and our ticket ready (not
for Moses) for some good reformer.
I think old Troup lias material that
will make us a good Congressman in
the person of J. 11. T. Col. Edgar
Watkins, a prominent young lawyer
of Carroll tor, addressed the Demo
crats of Bowdan district at College
Hall on July 2. I learn his hearers
was 8 or 16 voters and a few boys to
cheer him. Col. Watkins will try
his luck again at the same place on
the 19th, He has agreed to divide
time with the People’s Party speak
ers. That is the way. Colonel, to
get a crowd to hear you now-a-days.
I heard a Democrat say the other day
that Weaver was an old Greenback
er. Great god! don’t you wish we
all had been Greenbackers a few
years back?
The nominees are cheerfully ac
cepted with us.
L. W. Cunningham.
From Taliaferro County.
At a meeting of the People’s Par
ty men in Baytown district, Juyv 8,
a People’s Party club was organized
with thirty-seven members. J. J.
Moore was elected temporary chair
man and, explained the object of the
meeting, after which the election of
permanent officers resulted as fol
lows : F. F. Darden, chairman; W.
H. Moore, vice-president; J. A.
Woodall, secretary; J. T. Fergur
son, lecturer, and T. E. Hendrick as
sistant lecturer. The meeting was
enthusiastic and many more names
will be added at next meeting. The
people are m earnest, and determined
to win the fight. Let every district
organize, and every one do his duty,
and the victory will be ours. Too
high an estimate cannot be placed
upon the People’s Party Paper lor
the noble effort it has, and is still
making in instructing the people and
carrying our banner to victory. Ev
ery day grows brighter as the grand
column moves along.
J. A. Woodall.
J. A. Graham writes from Stone
Hill, July 11 :
Our Lodge numbers upwards of
forty members, and we have been
reading the Alliance Farmer for four
years, and now we are reading the
Peeple’s Party Paper; but we have
been liberal, some have taken the
Journal and Constitution and -we
have passed them round from house
to house, so you see that we are
posted as to the times. At least we
think so. Now, Mr. Editor, you re
member that the Apostle Paul said
to the Corinthians, “Brethren, for I
determined not to know anything
among you save Jesus Christ and
Him crucified.” That is, he did not
despise any other doctrine, only so
far as it stood in opposition to or in
competition with the knowledge of
Christ. So I think we have taken
this great question as to our govern
ment and considered it as Paul did
the religion of Christ. Now I speak
the sentiments of Stone Hill Alliance
No. 2155, that it is our stated, set
tled judgment, not a hasty inconsid
erate censure, but the result of our
most serious inquiries. After we
have well weighed the case, viewed
it exactly on every side, balanced all
advantages and disadvantages, pon
dered all things that are fit to come
into consideration about it, this is the
issue and final determination : We
care not how pleasant or profitable
the way of the two old parties may
seem to their leaders, it is not worthy
to be named in comparison with
“equal rights to all and special privi
leges to none.” So you see we have
never resolved this or that before,
but the Omaha convention has en
abled us to arrive at the above con
clusion. So w’e have determined to
and resolved to make the scope and
end of our work in the reform move
ment, and the end regulates the
means.
