Taliaferro, Next Member of Congress from the Fifth Georgia District. CORRESPONDENCE. Hon. Samuel M. Taliaferro, Atlanta, Ga.: Dear Sir The pleasing duty devolves upon us, a committee of five selected by the Fifth Congres sional Convention of the People’s Party, assembled in this city on the 2d instant, to notify you officially that, although you had several able and worthy competitors in the race for congressional honors, still you were made the unanimous choice of said covvention on the 6th ballot and declared the standard-bearer of the party in the approaching cam paign. The convention, through this com mittee, desire to express their heart felt thanks for your honorable course in said contest, and assure you that although there were individual pledges and personal preferences, yet, being Democrats of the Jeffer sonian type, they willingly bow to the majority rule and pledge their united support of the nominee. The committee further desire to tell you, and our brethren throughout the district, that there is a hard fight on hand and that each member from now until the close of the contest should make our cause his constant study and its success his solemn and religious duty. All great and lasting reforms spring from wealth-producers, and when they unite for their common good the Deity will in pi re them with renewed zeal and crown their efforts with success. Conscious of His di vine assistance, we feel that your selection as the industrial candidate for congressional honors marks an epoch on the pages of time. With us, princple is principle, yes terday, to-day and forever. Submis sion to might is not surrender of right. We may yield to the one, but never to the other. Fraternally your's, A. D. Humphries, J. P. Austin, H. N. Cramer, W. A. Phillips, L. P. Barnes, Committee. Hon. A. D. Humphries, and others of Com mittee : I accept with thanks the distin guished honor you have tendered me, that of being the People’s Party candidate of the Fifth congressional district. While I may not merit this honor I shall endeavor to prove to you that I am not insensible to the high estimate you have placed upon me in nominating me your candidate, by being true and faithful to every interest of my constituency, and that I fully appreciate the profound distinction of being a standard-bearer in a cause that advocates justice and right. Respectfully, S. M. Taliaferro. W. A. BAGGETT. The Alliancemen of Douglas coun ty having decided since Bro. Ivey’s nomination for Comptroller-General to present the name of Bro. W. A. Badgett for State Secretary, I wish to bear testimony to the fitness of Bro. Baggett for the place. He is a farmer, and a good one. An Allianceman, and a good one ; no better anywhere, with education enough (obtained as he has obtained everything he has, by hard knocks) to enable him to do the business of the office. I do not doubt there are other good men who may be presented for the office, but there will be none better or more deserving than Bro. W. A. Baggett. C. C. Post. Grand Rally. There will be a grand rally of the peoples party at Laurenceville, Gwin nett county, August 27. Let all friends of political reform turn out in mass. Speaking will begin at ten o’clock. Good speakers will address the people in behalf of financial re lief and industrial liberation. Come and bring your friinds. Lumpkin County. We are strong in Lumpkin—at least two to one. Our men here in the country, as a rule, make but lit tle noise, while the Democrats who live in the towns and at cross-road stores keep up such a fuss that one might think there were a good many of them. But it is like the old rid dle about the snakes there is a house full, and yard full, and you can’t get a dish full; it is all noise. Even in the towns I think we are as strong as they are. In fact, the so called Democracy has shrunk to such a small remnant that if it did not make a heap of fuss nobody would know it was here. We are on the plain road of principle and can neither be coyed, ridiculed or pur suaded from our purpose. We have followed men into ruin and bank ruptcy; we intend now to follow principle to success and prosperity. Our recent county convention was perfectly harmonious, and everybody seems perfectly satisfied with W. J. Woodward for the Legislature. Prof. W. S. Wilson, of Dahlonega, is chairman, and V. A. Higgins, of Auroria, is secretary of our county executive committee. The press at the time complimented the people of Homestead on expert handling of the two cannons they turned on the barges. This seems to have been in irony, as the coroner’s jury find that the cannon on the Pitts burg side of the river killed seven of the miners on the other bank. In view of the fact that the tariff as an issue has been badly man gled recently, and the force bill bug-a-boo has been relegated to the rear, what is the matter with the two g. o. p.’s having a class meeting in each county and tell about each oth er’s sins ? It would keep them busy during the entire campaign.—Na tional Watchman. The agreement of Winn and Pick ett, in the Ninth Congressional Dis trict, to leave the question of regu larity to the State Executive Com mittee promises to heal an ugly break in the People’s ranks. Mass Meeting at Sandersville. On Tuesday, August 23, 1892, there will be public speaking at Sandersville. All are invited. Mr. Watson will address the people on the issues of the campaign. The colored people are also invited to be present. On that day a candidate will be selected for the Legislature on the People’s Party ticket. The ladies are especially invited to be present. R. A. Kelly, Ch’m’n. W. T. Askew, Sec’y. Notice. There will be a People’s Party rally at Cox’s Cross Roads, Fulton county, on Monday, August 15. All friendly to the cause are request ed to bring well filled baskets, as the programme is for all day. Promi nent speakers will address the meet ing, which will begin at 9 o’clock a. m. Everybody is invited. Balding County. At a People’s Party rally at Mc- Garity school house, August 6, about 250 voters present, J. W. McGarity was unanimously endorsed by all present to represent the Seventh Congressional District. A. H. Mosley, Ch’m’n. NOTICE. ~ Please do not send us checks f o less than five dollars, as the banks ob ject to receiving them on deposit. Do aot send stamps if it can be avoided. Never send them unless oiled paper is placed next to the gummed side to keep them from sticking fast. If they are rubbed over the hair it will usually prevent them from sticking so they cannot be separated. Notice to P. P. Men. Cannot the county committeemen and other zealous workers in the re form cause interest themselves in collecting a quarter or a (lime from each earnest P. P. man for campaign purposes? The enemy say that we will fail for want of election funds. We neither seek nor desire a corrup tion fund, but we do need a fund to disseminate reform literature and to pay the expenses of the speakers. It is the people’s fight; let the peo ple sustain it.
