Send contributions to Oscar Parker, Secretary Campaign Committee. Whitehall Street, Atlanta, Ga. 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. A convention was held at Dah lonega, Ga., July 5, by the Demo crats to elect delegates to the Gaines ville and Atlanta conventions. The attendance was slim, with no enthusi asm whatever. Not a single address | was made. Total present 61.
