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.
