SOME CORRECTIONS.
In the confusion which reigned at
Sparta much of the time, it is
natural that the reporter should
have made some mistakes.
1. As to the tenant bill intro
duced by me. It provided that a
tenant who was unable to give the
guaranty bond required by law
should have the privilege of making
oath to that fact, and that he should
thereupon have the privilege of
coming into court and being heard
2. In the paragraph where I am
am reported as saying that the ten
ant could buy him a home at 8 or 20
per cent, interest, I said this, “That
under our land loan plank a tenant
who is now barely making a living
while paying two bales rent could
borrow (say $400) and pay for a
piece of land. Instead of giving
1,000 pounds of cotton rent he
would pay $8 interest and save the
balance. This saving would, of
itself, soon pay the S4OO.
3. In speaking of Livingston an d
Ham, I did not wish to be under
stood as speaking except hy hearsay.
I simply quoted a few of the sweet
things the Journal said about Leoni
das before his recent nomination.
And as to Ham, I quoted what Liv
ingston said in reference to the
Ocala force bill resolution—“it was
fished up out of the spittoon and
pieced together by Ham.” Brother
Northen got it printed in the Jour
nal. Now that they are all dwelling
together in such unselfigh harmony,
perhaps they can adjust the dispute
among themselves.
4. I named as voting for the so-
called slavery bill Hon. W. T. Gary
and Hon. J. S. James, the two
electors for the State-at large on the
presidential ticket. I hope the Dem
ocrats will let this cheerful fact be
generally known: T. E. W.
REV. BRADWELL.
That blue-ribbon Donkey, W. J.
Northen, carried this colored man
down to Sandersville to tell the col
ored voters that I had called the
regular order on his claim, and
that therefore I should be beat for
Congress.
Did Northen investigate this
claim?
Does he know its nature?
Does he know it has been paid?
Dnes he know I was calling the
the regular order to get the Sub-
Treasury Bill up?
Does he know that Bradwell is
complaining that his Bill was not
not taken up out of its regular
order?
Does he know that I was obeying
the instructions of the Alliance peo
ple in trying to force up the Sub-
Treasury Bill—so that a measure to
help millions of people should have a
hearing?
Does he know that I succeeded
and won what the National Econo
mist called “our first victory?”
Does he know that Bradwell’s
Bill is there on the calendar just like
many others,to be dealt with accord
ing to the miller’s rule of “first] come
first served?”
No. He does not know any of
these these things. Why? Because
he has more whiskers than sense.
* * *
How crazy the Democrats are. In
one breath they say “Watson has no
influence.”
In the next breath they say he
killed a bill which Livingston was
trying his best to pass.
* * *
Bradwell’s claim was for many
thousands of dollars—a claim for
cotton burnt or taken during the
war, or just after. Congress con
sidered his Bill, reported the sum
which the evidence showed to be
due and paid it. Bradwell accept
ed the money, and entered no pro
test as to the amount. Now he
wants the tax payers bled again. He
gave me the above facts in Wash
ington, and I told him I thought his
claim was settled by said payment.
What do the tax payers say?
Can a man sue you for SIOO, and
after getting judgment for SSO, and
you have paid the money, then turn
round and sue you again for the
other $50.?
Surely not. Then why does not
the same rule apply in favor of the
tax payers?
If Billy Northen would trim* his
whiskers perhaps his brains would
grow some.

CRAWFORDVILLE ECHOSE.
How scared the Democrats are!
They poured in from every city in
Georgia. No wonder they declined
to debate off the Rail Roads. Their
crowd has to be imported.

Brother Black lost the thread of

The Crawfordsville Hotel was well
supplied with colored people. They
were in the rooms up-stairs as well
as down-stairs. Yet the Democrats
raised no row, Why? They were
Democratic negroes. That makes
all the difference in the world. See?
* * *
An imported Democratic negro
stood on the hotel steps and said
“any man who will vote for Watson
is a G-d d-n fool.”
This was wildly applauded by the
Democrats, and they took the negro
over to the court house steps and
had him to address the crowd and
repeat the insult. Suppose one of
us had done such a thing!

The crowds who go out to hear
the People’s speakers are in strong
contrast with the difficulty encoun
tered by Democrats in securing au
diences. The people are interested
in political reform.
The Atlanta Constitution of Mon
day makes an important admission
in an editorial on the force bill issue.
After calling attention to the fact
that Mr. Halstead ridicules the force
bill as a humbug, and that the third
(presumably People’s) party agree
that it is not an issue, the Constitu
tion says:
At the North the republicans are ap
pealing to the conservative business ele
ments for their aid and support, and the
editors and orators know that if these
elements can be convinced that force bill
legislation is to be the result of republi
can success, the party of fraud and sec
tionalism would be promptly voted
down. This is why the democrats are
making the force bill a prominent issue
in the contest. This feature of the cam
paign is not confined to those democrats
who nave a notion that the democratic
platform goes further than even Mr.
Cleveland thought desirable, but it is
endorsed by those democrats who are
out-and-out free traders.
This gives the whole case away.
The Southern people know that
there is no probability of a Con
gress favorable to the force bill, un
less, as has been threatened, the
democrats of New England join the
gold-standard republicans in its pas
sage, in which event it is still doubt
ful if it can be passed.
The Augusta Chronicle admits
that Mr. Watson was purposely mis
quoted at Bishop. It says of the
incident at Crawfordsville:
The platform went down again
yesterday, but had hardly settled on
the ground before Mr. W atson was
upon the table smiling and bowing
to the crowd, He took the oppor
tunity to say that he had said on a
former occasion that he could speak
from any platform that anybody
else could, meaning the speaker’s
stand, and not any political platform.
Everybody knows what Mr. Watson
meant, but the other construction
was so natural and true that the press
could not fail to make the point on it.
And it seems to have hit the quick.
How natural lying is to some peo
ple is here illustrated.
It is reported that a Democratic

A Nebraska Woman.
Kearney, Neb., Sept. 3,1892.
I have just laid down the People’s
Party Paper, and it gives me great
hope ; the debates, rallies and barbe
cues of which I have just read are
all in full blast in Nebraska. Yes,
we go a step further. The women,
■who share our poverty, are organiz
ing clubs, and getting in their handy
work. Some may ask what they can
do. I will answer by telling a few
of the things our club has done to
raise the necessary funds for the cam
paign. We had a huckster stand on
the fourth of July and cleared $25.
At rallies we sell photos of Weaver
and h ield and our nominee for Gov
ernor; also campaign badges, and
now have nearly completed a histori
cal quilt.
In the centre block the pictures of
W eaver and Field are stamped, and
on another the People’s nominees for
Governor and Lieutenant Governor.
The blocks around these contain the
names of our candidates for State
and county officers. On the outside
blocks are the names of the Women’s
Club. It is pronounced very pretty
and ingenious. It will be sold by
numbers, 25 cents a number, and we
expect to realize twenty-five or thirty
dollars.
It takes a great deal of money to
run a campaign, and there is just
where the people always get left.
Our oppressors depend upon their
money and our poverty.
I write this to encourage the good
women of Georgiaf to lend a helping
hand. All can do something to re
move tliis yoke of corporate bondage.
We must work in the tgood cause or
be monopolized from he fa ce of the
earth.

From Kansas.
Winfield, Kan., Sept. 3. ’92.
Kansas is now undergoing one of
the most bitter political campaigns
ever waged in the history of the
State.
At last we have the lines closely
drawn between the corporations on
the one hand and the people on the
other.
The Republicans do not deny that
they are receiving help from the rail
roads ; yes, even boasting of it.
Their campaign treasury is kept
full. They have unlimited means at
their command—and are using it.
Nowhere else have we seen such an
avowed attempt on the part of the
corporations to set aside the will of
the people.
We have done here what must be
done in every State before we win.
That is, secure the support of all the
honest Republicans and Democrats,
and force the balance to fall in with
plutocrats and to the defense of the
Carnegies, Vanderbilts and Goulds.
This movement, as understood by
us, is not a fight between the Peo
ple’s party and the old parties for
offices, but it is a fight between the
Nineteenth century American aris
tocracy and the people. In short, it
is the irrepressible conflict between
organized and rapidly centralizing
capital and labor, and free govern
ment is now undergoing the crucial
test.
The old parties are the allies and
true friends of aristocracy because it
is their child, and they could not be
expected to disown it.
How near is our country to the
brink of material ruin. We of times
wonder, do the people of the South
realize these conditions that confront
us as we do ?
The reform movement in Kansas
is no new thing any more.- It is
feared by the corporate powers, and
at last they have awakened to real
ize that it really means the struggle
of labor, the foundation of wealth, to
wrest from the hands of the cor
porations, the basis of aristocracyj
that government for which our own
Washington fought.
How long, in Heaven’s name, will
the people of this country defen,d
plutocracy? We have driven the
Republican party in this State into
the last ditch—the arms of the cor
porations—and in November will
finish the job. Now, will the South
land come to our assistance by wip
ing out the other defender of plu
tocracy, called the Democratic party,
and give back to the people their
lost liberties. Brethren of the
South, many earnest, anxious prayers
are going up from the firesides of
Kansas homes that the people of the
South will realize the true conditions
which we have to meet and unite
with the West, for we must conquer
or we die so far as free government
is concerned. Our party is rallying
everywhere, animated by one
thought, that is, that it is a question
as to who shall rule, the people or
organized capital. We mean tight
to the end at the ballot-box. The
hour demands men who are good
and true, men who are willing to lay
their all on the altar of their country
for freedom’s sake. We are inspired
by the thought that our Southern
brethren will be with us. I have
always been a Democrat, am yet,
after the fashion of Jefferson and
Jackson, and was born in the South,
old Virginia, and I had inherited the
most bitter opposition to the Repub
lican party, yet the happiest moment
of my life was when I could take
my republican neighbor by the hand
and together go down to battle in a
common cause, for our country and
our homes. We are a happier peo-
and united because we
know what confronts us and the
danger of being disunited. Breth
ren, come to the rescue of the re
public. “We must hang together or
hang separately.”

The committee on the investiga
tion of the charges of drunkenness on
the part of Members of Congres,
contained in a campaign book by the
Hon. T. E. Watson, of Georgia, a
member of the House, report
the charges “false and unfounded
and an assault upon the honor and
dignity of the House.” The honor
and dignity of the House, let that
pass. L T pon the question of drunk
enness the report itself is the false
and unfounded part of the proceed
ings. The usual row in such cases
was worked over. If a man makes
a public exhibition of himself, act
ing foolishly, disgustingly, or inde-
cently under the influence of dnnk,
he is drunk. Whether merely “gen
tlemanly tight” or “hog drunk”'is a
fruitless question. As to the whisky
mill kept for the private use of
members in the basement of the
Representative Hall, it is an offense
that smells to heaven. That dis
grace being a matter of public no
toriety, it has been thought best to
“tell the truth” about that. As to
Mr. Watson himself, he has shown
so much ability, so much readiness
in debate, so much accuracy of in
formation, that it has been resolved
at every hazard to put him out of
the House. If a million of dollars
can beat him before the People, that
or as much more as is neccessarv is
going to be put up.
Democracy iu Pinetucky.
Fine samples of democracy we
have down in old Pinetucky.
We have all sorts of democrats in
this county. Some are democrats
for want of light, others for want of
sense, others for want of money,
others for want of office, others for
want of principle, and some for the
want of all these things. At the
same time, if a man wants to be a
democrat it is nothing to me, for I
have close kin people that are demo
crats (or say they are), but let me
tell you right now I am not a demo
crat by name. I heard a man say,
«I am a democrat because pa always
was.” Now, if my pa had always
plowed an ox, must I plow one just
because he did ? If I can do better,
no. I know another man that said,
“ I would vote for a yellow dog if it
was nominated by the Democratic
party.” Now, don’t that show you
that thej? don’t care for our welfare,
but will stick to party rather than
principle? That is what is the mat
ter. They have voted for the yellow
dog too much already; that was what
killed the party. Another says, “ I
am a democrat because I was born a
democrat.” Now, the people around
here that know say that the nearest
kin he had that had ever voted a
democratic ticket was a great uncle.
Now, that is another fine sample.
Some of the democrats around here
praise Major Black because he voted
a wet ticket. Now, I have nothing
against Black for that, if he had not
said he was a prohibitionist. He was
a prohibition man, and thought it
best until he saw this county was go
ing wet by a large majority, then
voted for the sale. I am not a pro
hibitionist at all. I don’t believe in
prohibition unless it will prohibit,
but I fall out with anybody—
that is, if you are one and think it
best, it is all right with me. They
say prohibition split the People’s
party, but it didn’t. We are in for
the People’s party and Hon. Thomas
E. Watson, whisky or no whisky. I
want m y brother damocrats to read
the 18th chapter of
think over it. There is something
in it that you don’t want to hear, I
am afraid. You must remember that
the New Testament says: “And I
gave her space to repent of her forni
cation, and she repented not.” So
we gave you a chance to do. The
democrats had 148 majority in the
House, and then had no chance.
What sort of a chance did they want ?
But let me say, it was your last
chance, if we get an honest count,
and they don’t try to do like they did
in Alabama. We must have our
rights. I have a few words to say
about the Augusta Chronicle; it has
got its reputation up for lying, as
sure as you are born,, and you can
put that down, Jakie.
D. S. Blackstone, Bath, Ga.
Over the Country.
August 31, 1892.
I feel just like I want to put my
brethren readers of the People’s
Party Paper on notice. Brethren,
I beg of you to keep cool and make
a still hunt in this matter, especially
in State politics, for I am where I
can catch on occasionally, and I do
know that the policy of the pluto
cratic Democracy is to keep up na
tional political excitement among
the People so they can slip into all
the state offices and thereby carry
Georgia for Cleveland. Now, look
around. Here for instance in Spald
ing 33 and 500 other Democrats,
(SUO guess woik) urging Judge Jno.
I. Hall to take a seat in the next
Georgia legislature, step down from
Senate to lower House, (next step to
baliff I expect.) What for? “Oh
Judge, he is such a good man, and
we of Griffin must have the agricul
tural college. A. O. Bacon, (a chro
nic office seeker,) will help Hall get
the college, and Hill, of Meriwether,
(anothe/chronic seeker.) Just watch
the boss lying papers all over Geor
gia and they want the big day in
politics. Why now “Peeping Tom”
has found out one little secret. Bill
Atkinson, the chiefest of chronics,
has been greased 1 suspect by the
big city of “Religion atad Licker”
(Atlanta) to make just such legisla
tors as as will receive that gracious
gift, the Soldiers Home, an infam
ous scheme for Atlanta and a cursed
paupers’s home for the poor Confed
erate soldier. What does Atlanta
care for a poor Confederate soldier?
It is the rich Confederate soldier
Atlanta is after. Again, what will
become of the poor Confederate sol
dier’s old decrepit wife? She, I
presume, can stop at the county
poor farm. Bah! Such love. It is
damning the lost cause and her gal
lant heroes. But that is not all.
Some $550,000 other appropriations
to be distributed among the colleges
to educate the rich bond-holder’s
boys and girls is asked for besides
$5,000 more tor the |btate encamp
ment at Griffin for the white besides
$5,000 for a colored encampment.
For Gov. Northen has promised the
colored troops an encampment pro
vided they vote straight-out Demo
cracy against the Thtrd party in
State politics.
To the colored farmers and labor
ers of Georgia I appeal. You who
suffer as we suffer, who, through
cold and heat, rain and shine and all
kinds of weather, carry this
State Government and its rascally
officers in sweat, don’t be fooled by
these rascally town foppish negroes
who are bought by Democratic lead
ers to catch your vote.
More anon, if necessary from a
poor Confederate soldier who to-day
carries a Yankee bullet in his body.
Peeping Tom.
No Hope in the Democratic Party.
Mr. Editor :—lt is evident that
the last ray of hope of ever accom
plishing reform through the Demo
cratic partj* has vanished. While
we hold that the Republican party
is mainly responsible foe. our class
and oppressive laws, yet we hold
that the leaders of modern democ
racy are responsible for a full share,
especially from an indisposition to
attempt to repeal them. We have
been admonished by the press and
modern leaders to stand by the party
and we could get our reform de
mands. Have they proven by prac
tice what they preach ? With a ma
jority of 148 in the lower House, led
by Tom Reed, they defeated the sil
ver bill passed by a Republican Sen
ate, one of the least of reform meas
ures. They also defeated a bill to
repeal the 10 per cent, tax on State
banks, both of which were prominent
planks in our State and national
platforms. But can we be much
surprised. For thirty years we
have had meaningless platforms and
have been fed on unfaithful prom
ises. Democratsj|voted to repeal the
income tax (among -whom was our
much loved Gordon), the only
method by which the millions of un
taxed property could be reached.
Democrats, our Gordon included,
voted on the side of the Pacific rail
road steals. Democrats voted for
the act calling in the greenbacks, and
having millions of them burnt, carry
ing out the policy outlined in 1862
by English bankers to American
bankers in the Hazzard circular.
Democrats are responsible, as much
so as the Republicans, for the de
monetization of silver, as there was
no opposition vote against it. Now
they say they did not know the act
demonetized. Yet they say intelli
gence must rule. (I reckon they
were under a maudlin sleep or at the
horse races.) But still they, with a
majority of 148, refuse to remone
tize, and worse still, have voted an
international conference by which,
if there should be a treaty between
nations, fixed. ai
agriculture robbed. This will per
petuate the power of English lords
to rob by depressing the price of our
products. Os recent date, modern
Democrats, led by R. Hobbs & Co.,
enacted a force ‘bill, connected with
a party gag oath, to-wit: “I do
solemnly swear that I am a citizen
and resident of this county and pre
cinct, and endorse, and will support
the Democratic platform adopted at
Chicago this year, and the Demo
cratic candidates upon same for Presi
dent and for Congress, and have not
voted in any other primary election
for said delegates now being elect
ed to represent this county at this
convention to be held at Albany
Aug 17th next.” Yes, they sw r ear
us to support the platform and can
didate of the bosses. They take away
by force the time honored usage of
county sovereignty to fix the time
and mode of choosing delegates.
They also, by force under the Al
bany police, or Pinkerton’s, suppress
a minority of free speech. In plain
terms the Hobbs force bill and gag
'oath has robbed a large class of vot
ers of an honestly expressed will at
the ballot box. Any party so full of
corruption, and which so far forgets
the fundamental principles of our
American liberties should die. They
are no longer the representatives ©f
the House of Jefferson and Jackson.
For thirty years they have been
drifting with the tide of cor
ruption as practiced by the Repub
lican party with nothing in view but
party success. We have followed
blindly like a good boy. But the
veil has been lifted from our eyes,
and because we refuse to be led fur
ther hence the Hobbs force bill and
gag oath. But thank God as this
old house have decayed and rotted
we have a foundation left whose
builders were Jefferson and Jack
son, the pillars of which is “Equal
Rights to all and Special Privileges
to None.” Upon this foundation, the
People’s party is founded, and will
press forward for the rights of the
people until our government is res
cued from the clutches of English
noblemen and American plutocrats.

The Democrats of this county got
the negroes to have a big Republi
can barbecue on the first of Septem
ber in Irwinton,- our county site. It
leaked out this way, that they got a
good Democrat negro by the name
of John Brown to go around to see
all the Democratic white friends to
throw in money to go to Macon and
hire Jeff Long and another negro to
come down and speak to the colored
people of this county, but there were
few colored people out. The negroes
said they could not catch them that
way, as they intended to vote for the
People’s party. Col. Frank Cham
bers, of Irwinton, the Democrat!®
nominee for the Senate,was the very
man that went to Macon and made
