This Paper is now and will ever be a fearless
advocate of the Jeffersonian Theory of Popu
lar Government, and will oppose io the bitter
end the Hamiltonian Doctrines of Class Rule.
Moneyed Aristocracy, National Banks, High
Tariffs, Standing Armies and Formidable Na
ives: -all of which go together as a system of
oppressing the People.

Wo want the Industrial Classes to feel that
this Paper is THEIR FRIEND. It is conduct
ed by men who are intensely interested in the
Reform Movement, and have been battling for
it many years.
The price shows that the Paper is not being

lieve is best for Georgia, best for the South,
and best for the country at large.

Campaign Song for 1892.
I have seen many thousands
In ragged garments clad;
Toiling for their living,
They all seemed very sad;
Their backs were bent in sorrow,
Their hopes were almost gone;
Hoping through the two old parties,
Deliverance would surely come.
Chorus —
Then palms of victory,
Crowns of glory,
Palms of victory,
We shall bear.
They worked both late and early,
Through rain, snow and sun,
Hoping through the two old parties,
That deliverance would surely come;
But when their hopes were blasted,
And their work was never done,
God sent the People's Party,
As he sent His only Son.
Chorus—
Now when the People’s Party,
The victory they have won,
We hope to work ten hours,
And call our days work done.
And now on next November,
About the rising of the sun,
We will call upon the people
To sec that this is done.
Chorus—
We will call upon the Nations
Every honest hearted son,
To cast their ballots fearlessly,
Each and every one,
And with our Tom in Congress,
With Talliaferro and the others.
We will shout a loud Hosanna,
For our deliverance has come.
Chorus—
When the. votes are counted,
And the old parties are sick,
We’ll have a People’s rally,
And give three cheers for Peck.
And when the two old parties
Begin to give us taffy,
We’ll retire to our capitol
Ami shake hands with Mahaffey.
Chorus—
When the plutocrats and goldbugs,
Have retired to the rear,
We’ll climb to the dome,
Ami praise the name of Ware.
Then the old parties meetings
Will be very informal.
For seated in his office,
You find our noble Gorman.
Now since our victory’s won,
And the old parties realize the fact,.
They will join us in the chorus
For Ivey to collect the tax.
Then the two old parties
Ami the rest of the elite set,
Will join the great majority
And give three cheers for Barrett.
Chorus:
New-worker.
WALTON COUNTY.
Resolutions Passed in Mass Meeting of
the People’s Party.
Whereas, the National Convention
of the People’s Party, assembled in the
city of Omaha on the 4th day of July,
1892, did then and there formulate a
platform which offers equal rights to
all men; and whereas, the said conven
tion did nominate James B. Weaver
and Janies G. Field for President and
vice-President of the United States,
therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the citizens of
Walton county, in convention assem
bled, endorse the Omaha platform and
pledge our support to Weaver and
Field for President and vice-President
of the United States, believing them to
be the only candidates who stand upon
a platform that offers relief to the pro
ducers and laborers, and places a check
upon the national bankers, monopolists
and speculators of this country.
2. That we condemn extravagant ex
penditures, and insist that the most
careful economy be enforced by our
legislature, that taxation should not be
increased, but reduced.
3. That our county expenses should
be reduced to the smallest possible
amount consistent with the interest of
the people.
4. That to carry out our faith to the
above stated platform and nominees,
we place candidates in the Held to rep
resent Walton county in the next
Legislature of Georgia who stand
squarely and unreservedly upon the
Omaha platform ; therefore, we nomi
nate Walton Lines and Moses Spence
as candidates to repreteat Wai on
county in the next General Assembly.
Judson F. Moore, Sec’y.
Schley County.
A mass meeting of the People’s
party of Schley county was held in
the court house at Ellaville, July 30th,
to nominate a candidate for the legis
lature. J. H. Bivins was called to
the chair, and C. R. Tondee secre
tary. Mr. J. T. Collins was nomi
nated for the legislature without op
potition, receiving 148 votes.
Delegates to the congressional and
senatorial conventions were elected.
After the nomination the following
resolution was unanimously adopted :
Whereas, The Schley County News,
published at Ellaville, Georgia, has
stooped so low in public journalism
as to prostitute its columns to a scur
rilous and contemptible attack upon
one of our most worthy citizens, Dr.
R. T. Bivins, and for no otlur cause
than an honest political opinion, we,
the undersigned, as his neighbors and
friends, feel that a great outrage has
been committed upon him, and we
brand the unprovoked attack as vin
dictive, contemptible and cowardly
and beneath respectable journalism.
Signed by one hundred and thirty
Voters.
Notice.
All persons who are in favor of or
ganizing the People’s Party in Madi
son county, Georgia, are requested to
meet at Danielsville on Wednesday,
the 24th day of August, 1892, for the
purpose of organizing said party and
electing a chairman and executive
committee for Madison county, and
transacting all other business that
properly comes before the meeting.
Prominent speakers will be on hand
to address the people.

The people of militia district No. 322,
S>ephens’ Potterr, are all solid lor the
People’s party, except the three whose
names are inclosed, and we think a lew
sample copies of the People's Pai ty Paper
will change them. They are real good
men, but they are wrong in their opin
ions, so send them a few sample copies
of our paper. They are the only men in
the neighborhood who advocate the
claims of the old democratic party. We
have the People’s party on a boom and
gaining every day. They will all be
right in November. I think there are at
least 1,000 People's party men in the
county.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.
The chairmen, secretaries and
others friendly to the People’s cause
in the various Militia districts in the
several counties of the Fifth con
gressional district are requested to
send their names to me at once, so
that we may put ourselves in close
touch and harmony for the approach

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.
Please do not send us checks so
less than five dollars, as the banks ob
ject to receiving them on deposit. Do
not 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 dime 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. Send contributions to

Committee, 117} Whitehall Street,
