A GENTLEMAN’S LETTER. Mr. Iverson L, Harris, a prominent Easiness man of Macon, has published over his own signature an account of the outrage on free speech in that city. It is not strange that the honest blood of any gentleman should boil when it is known tbat a refined, white-haired woman has been stricken full in the face with a stale egg. The people of the whole country will indorse Mr. Harris’ views: It is not pleasant to be too specific, but a sense of duty leads me on. Observe the Constitution on Gen. Weaver’s trip. This paper is mentioned as it makes the unfairest report in its columns and treats, Gen. Weaver more shamefully on the editorial page than any other I have seen. This sheet is the leading Southern journal, edited and owned by men of heart and men of brains,yet it is so far lost in the mire of partisanship, it cannot or will not tell the facts. The editorial in substance says: The sum total of Gen. Weaver’s wrongs at Macon consisted in the trifling matter of a small boy throwing an egg, said small boy be ing at once arrested. If the paper desired to publish the truth, it could have learned a different tale. one seeing that impassioned crowd could have pictured it so mild. Some of ths facts are as follows: General Weaver, after several efforts iqade to start, spoke about a dozen lines when the egg or eggs were thrown and struck Nirs. Weaver, a gray-haired lady, on the bead. Gen. Weaver then with drew. Would any man do less ? The crowd continued throwing eggs, think ing, doubtless, that Gen. Weaver was still upon the stand. It was as wild and passion-full a crowd as I have ever seen; and yet the Constitution says “ a small boy did it all.” Can this be true ? Since writing the above, Mr. Atkinson, chairman of the State Democratic Execu tive Committee, has used about the same language as the Constitution did. Does Mr. Atkinson dare let the world know the truth ? If so, why publish what he did ? With joy I claim many good people frown on the whole affair, but it is cow ardly to charge the rabble guilty of it all The next day, after calm reason should have resumed her sway, a number of prominent and respected citizens, some of them so-called followers of the meek and lowly Jesus, whose central doctrine was to do to others as you would have others do to you, appeared in public prints approving every act that was done —some said he was treated too well. Democracy attempts to take some ben efit to itself from the fact that at the meeting of the Young Men’s Club in Macon on the night of Gen. Weaver’s visit its speakers gave some good advice and resolved to give Gen Weaver a re f'peotful hearing. Were the speakersand was the resolution honest ? I will make no argument from the fact so well known that the Democratic meeting was not called till after Gen. Weaver’s date had been advertised; let this dumbly speak for itself. The meeting was opened by the presi dent with a formal address. Hon. Du- Pont Guerry was the first orator of the occasion. * * * With his earnest voice and pleading way he bade the boys throw no eggs at Gen. Weaver; with the next breath, in high ascending voice, he gave his reason for the good advice. Was it wrong to egg a man? Should every American be protected in his native right of tpeecli? Mr. Guerry did not say. The reason gitfen was as follews: If you snoulfl break every ancient egg in town on Gen. Weaver’s filthy carcass you could not make him Stink the worse in the nosrtils of decent people. Mr. Hardeman’s first admission was: “The third party are misguided friends ” Then; without ope word of proof or show of reason, he gave expression to this bald, bare statement: “The People’s party platform has not one single principle on which to test.” He then grew tragic, and with awful voice and pose, gave birth to the kind, peace-loving words below: The Populists are a rainbow gang; thej r are many hued ; they are red with the red of com munlsni. blue wit h the blue of woman suffrage and black with the black of negro domination. Were these men honest when they spoke their pacific lines? The club, upon adjournment, left their ball headed by a loud and lusty band, with torches waving high and yells that no native American Indian would have been ashamed to call his own. marched down the street where the other crowd appeared, and with this retinue of braves split midway through, and then, with the tumult growing fast, turning about and we. t through again. We all have heard th° wise old saw, “Actions speak louder than words.” Was this conduct observing either thelettei or spirit of then resolution? “ I am native here and to the manner born ” I have been a regulation Demo crat all mv life. Therefore, I know whereof I speak and speak what I do know. My parents and grandparents were Georgians born and reared, their wre fathers for many generations were South ern people. For this reason and the larger one of love which is brink-full in for every great achievement of the South’s grand past, acknowledge ment is to no man made of deeper, broad er. higher nor more perfect interest and hope m everything which can affect hei future, I express/ 11 ® opinion that nno change is made in Democratic methods, Ol- if the party be not overthrown, we will soon become abject slaves to party yoke, and will not dare, as we have scarcely dared for two decades, to say what we do think If this conclusion to no other mind seems true, then give me the credit of be ing myself convinced. from the Hayseed Mansion.

Macon, the beautiful city by the river, in our fair Southland; the mother of colleges; how hath she fallen! She has forgotten that it was the farmers of Georgia that built her colleges, supported and kept them up by sending sons and daughters to them to be edu cated. She has forgotten that it was the farmers that made her merchants rich; in fact, made her, as to wealth, what she is. How has she rewarded them for this toil? The rotten eggs that were thrown at General Weaver in Macon were not at the General any more than at the farmers and the farmers’ wives of Georgia. Shame, shame on the city, the mother of female colleges, that she should rotten egg a lady who came to Georgia in the interest of the hard worked, poor paid mothers of Georgia —mothers who denied themselves of the comforts of life that they might help a son or daughter that w’as at school in Macon to finish their education. Where were the minis ters of the gospel, the college professors of Greek and Latin, teachers of English language ? Have they done Macon no good? Have they been for fifty years teaching and preaching in the city, and yet the city don’t know what good man ners are? Mothers, fathers of Georgia, keep your sons and daughters away from towns that don't know what good man ners are ; that don't know how to treat visitors and strangers, and, forsooth, if visitors and strangers don’t think and talk as these town people think and talk, the way to reprove them is to throw rot ten eggs at them. Macon has built her self a monument in one night that rises far above her loftiest tower of college or church, and that monument is a rotten egg. Aunt Polly Hayseed. Is It Not So 2 Genuine Democracy and true Republi canism presupposes common honesty, justice and fair dealing. In the face of these common sense ideas results are obtained by the grossest fraud, misrepresentation and trickery. And this is done in the name of Demooracy and Republicanism. It should properly be called atrocity, deviltry or diabolism. A glaring instance of the above may be found in the throwing of rotten eggs at General Weaver and his lady travel ing companions in the great State of Georgia, which boasts of its honor, gal lantry and chivalry. Away with such hypocrisy and mean ness. Language fails to express the ab horrence we feel for this burlesque on justice, and hence we will say no more, except to aid, we hope the thoughtful better class may yet vindicate the good name of the State of Georgia, at present under a cloud. American Liberty. Blue Anchor, N. J. It is Here to Stay. From the Toiler. Turn your eyes to the great West and Northwest. Look closely at the political situation there. In Nevada there is only one electoral ticket in the field and it stands for Weaver and Field. It has been endorsed by all political factions. In Colorado the Democratic convention of the State with a thousand delegates instructed their electors for Weaver and Fields In Kansas, the Dakotas, Oregon and Washington, the Democrats have endorsed our electors, and thus it is that the great West stands in a solid phalanx for those grand champions of the Peo ple's cause. Weaver and Field. In Ne braska dozens of bourbon papers have torn off the mask. Prominent politicians and business men by the thousands have come out squarely for the party of ‘ equal rights.” In that State the election of our ticket is conceded. Every prominent daily papei’ in the mining region of the West, whether Democratic or Republi can, has rushed to the defense of the only party which pre poses free silver. It is a mighty ground-swell out there. Then do we not become convinced that we are here to stay? The inevitable re sult of this year’s political contest will be to combine the forces of monopoly against the producing classes. In the faraway Northwest this amalgamation has already been perfected among the two old parties boodlers. The rank and file of the old parties has allied itself with the people, and time will serve to convert the com pact. This is no temporary upheaval, it :s a political eruption which will leave its trace upon history’s pages. It is no child’s? play. The ‘Lonest yeomanry are up in arms. Let the South do its duty on the Bth of November, and the country will draw a breath of relief. Cleveland and Pensions. New York World. Gen. Sickles said at the recent meeting of the Grand Army : The people of the United States will see that no man is ever elected to an office of profit and trust in this country who op poses the payment of pensons to the sol diers of the rebellion. Some of the more reckless of the Republican organs are parading this sentiment and applying it against Grover Cleveland. If Gen. Sickles had meant to ap ply it to Mr. Cleveland he would have said so. He does not usually micne his words. As an -honest and well informed though occasionally too im pulsive man, Gen. Sickles could not have had the Democratic candidate in his mind, because during President Cleveland’s Administration more pen sioners were put upon the rolls and more money was paid in pensions than had ever before been added or disbursed in the same length of time. The only criticism that could with justice be brought against Cleveland is that he signed too many rather than too few pensions bills. For 1886-7-8 Gen. Black, Presi dent Cleveland’s Pension Commis sioner, issued 359,452 certificates, ex ceeding by 168,231 the last three years of the preceding Republican Administration. The disbursements for the same period exceeded those of the Republican Commissioner by 34,000,000. There were 345,000 pensioners on the list when President Cleveland as sumed office. When he left there were 489,000 —a gain of 144,0.00. The increase during the proceeding four years of Republiican rule was only 95,000. President Cleveland vetoed ex actly 250 private pension bills during his. four years in office, all of them for good* reasons. But he signed or permitted to become laws 1,825, which was 259 more than were ap proved by all the Presidents from Grant to Arthur, both inclusive. Does this record look like hostility to soldiers or opposition to pensions ? When Georgians assemble to hear a servant render his account —howl like wolves and bray like asses, so all the people may leave in disgust. SING, BOYS, SING!

We endorse and reaffirm the preamble, resolutions and platform adopted by the People’s Party in national convention as sembled at Omaha, July 4, 1892. We indorse the ticket nominated and pledge the party when it shall come into power in the State to frame and administer the laws in the spirit of the Omaha platform, which is equal justice to all, and special privileges to none. 2. We condemn the convict lease sys tem. 3. We demand rigid economy in all public matters and inist on every pos sible reduction df taxation during the present impoverished condition of the people. And we call public attention to the fact that the producing interest in both city and country is bearing more than its fair share of taxation. National Platform, Adopted a Omaha, July 4th, 1892. Assembled upon the one hundred and six teenth anniversary of the declaration of inde pendence, the People's Party of America, in their first national convention, invoking upon their action the blessing of the Almighty God, put forth in the name of the people of this country, the following preamble and declara tion of principles; The conditions which surround us besn justnry our co-operation; we meet in the midst of a nation brought to the verge of moral, political and material ruin. Corrup tion dominates the ballot box, legislatures, congress, and touches even the ermine of the bench. The people are demoralized ; most, of the states have been compelled to isolate voters at polling places to prevent universal in timidation or bribery. Newspapers are largely subsidized or muzzled; public opinion silenced; business prostrated; our homes covered with mortgages; labor im poverished ; and the land concentrating in the hands of capitalists. The urban work men are denied the right of organization for self-protection; imported pauperized labor beats down their wages; a hireling standing •army, unrecognized by our laws, is estab lished to shoot them down, and they are rapidly degenerating into European condi tions. The fruits of the toil of millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes for a few, unprecedented in the history of mankind; and the possessors of these in turn despise the republic and endanger liberty. From the same prolific womb of governmental injustice, we breed two great 1 classes—tramps and millionaires. National power to create money is appropriated to enrich bondholders: a vast public debt pay able in legal tender currency has been funded into gold bearing bonds, thereby adding millions to the burdens of the peo ple. Silver, which has been accepted as coin since the dawn of history, has been demonetized to add to the purchasing pow er of gold by decreasing the value of all forms of property as well as human labor, i and the supply of currency is purposely i abridged to ratten usurers, bankrupt enter prise and enslave industry. A vast con spiracy against mankind has been organized on the two continents and it is rapidly taking possession of the world. If not met and overthrown at once it forebodes terrible social convulsions, the destruction of civil ization or the establishment of an absolute despotism. We have witnessed for more than a quar ter of a century the struggles of two great i political parties for power and plunder, while grievous wrongs have been inflicted upon the suffering people. We charge that the controlling influence dominating both these parties has permitted the exist ing dreadful conditions to develop without serious effort to prevent or restrain them. Neither do they now promise us any sub stantial reform. They have agreed togeth er to ignore in the coming campaign, every issue but one. They propose to out I the cries of the plundered people Wh the uproar of a sham battle over the tariff, so that capitalists, corporations, national banks, rings, trusts, watered stock, de ; monetization of silver and the oppression I of the usurers may all be lost sight of. i They propose to sacrifice our homes, lives ■ and children on the altar of mammon; to i destroy the multitude in order to secure j corruption funds from millionaires. Assembled on the anniversary of the I birthday of the nation and filled with the ' spirit of the grand general-in-ehief who es , tabliahed our independence, we seek to re- I store the government of the republic to the , hands of “the plain people” with whose » class it originated. We assert our puxpfts©! t® bfi to the constlttitldh hy which all persons engaged in the government service shall be placed under a civil service regulation of the most rigid character, so as to prevent an increase of the power of the national administration by the use of such addition al government employes. We demand a national currency, safe sound and flexible, issued by the general government only, a full legal tender for all debts, public and private, and that with out the use of banking corporations; a just, equitable and efficient means of distribu tion direct to the people at a tax not to ex ceed 2 per cent per annum be provided as set forth in the sub-treasury plan of the Farmers’ Alliance, or some better system; also by payment in discharge of its ob ligations for public improvements. We demand the free and unlimited coin age of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1. We demand that the amount of the cir culating medium be speedily increased to not less than fifty dollars per capita. We demand a graduated income tax. We believe that the money of the coun try should be kept as much as possible in the hands of the people, and hence we demand, that all state and national revenues shall be limited to the necessary expenses of the go\ ernment economically and honestly administered. We demand that postal savings banks be established by the government for the safe deposit of the'earnings of the people and to facilitate exchange. Transportation being a means of ex change and a public necessity, the govern ment should own and operate the railroads in the inter cat oi the people. The tele graph and the telephone, like the postal system, being a necessity for the trans mission of news, should be owned and op erated by the government in the interest of the people. The land, including all the natural sources of wealth, is the heritage of all the people and should not be monopolized for speculative purposes, and alien ownership of land should he prohibited. All lands now aeld by railroads and other corpora tions in excess of their actual needs, and all lands now owned by aliens should be reclaimed by the government and held for actual sextieis onlv the national constitu tion—to form a more perfect union and es tablish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the bless ings of liberty for ourselves and our pos terity. We declare that this republic can only endure as a free government while built upon the 1 ove of the whole people for each other, and for the nation; that it can not be pinned together by bayonets; but the civil war is over and that every passion and resentment which grew out of it must die with it, and that we must be in fact, as we are in name, one united brotherhood. Our country finds itself confronted by conditions for which there are no prece dents in the history of the world. Our annual agricultural productions amount to billions of dollars in value, which must within a few weeks or months, be exchang ed for billions of dollars of the commodi ties consumed in their production. The currency supply is wholly inade quate to make the exchange. The results are falling prices; formation of combines and rings; and the impoverishment of the producing class. We pledge ourselves that if given power we will labor to correct these evils by wise and reasonable legislation in accordance with the terms of our platform. We be lieve that the powers of government—in other words of the people—should be ex panded as in the case of the postal service, as rapidly and as far as the good sense of an intelligent people and the teachings of experience shall justify, to the end that op pression, injustice and poverty shall event ually cease in the land. While our sym pathies, as a party of reform, are naturally upon the side of every proposition which will tend to make men intelligent, virtuous and temperate, we nevertheless regard these questions—important as they are— as secondary to the great issues now press ing for solution and upon which not only our individual prosperity but the very exist ence of free institutions depend, and we ask all men to first help us to determine whether we are to have a republic to ad minister, before we differ as to the condi tions upon which it is to be administered, believing that the? forces of reform this day organized will never cease to move for ward until every wrong is righted and equal rights and equal privileges securely established for all men and women of this country. We declare, therefore: 1. That the union of the Labor forces of the Uniled States this day consummated shall be permanent and perpetual. May its spirit enter into all hearts for the salva tion of the republic and the uplifting of mankind. 2. Wealth belongs to him who creates it, and every dollar taken from industry with out an equivalent is robbery. “If any will not work, neither shall he eat.” The in terests of rural and civic labor are the same; their enemies are identical. 3. We believe that the time has come when railroad corporations will either own the people or the people must own the rail roads : and should the government enter upon the work of owning and managing all should favor an amendinent UPPLEMENTAL RESOLUTICNS. Whereas, other questions have been present ed for our consideration, we herebj’ submit the following, not as a part of the platform of the People’s Party, but as resolutions expres sive of the seiitim- nt of this convention. First—Resolved. That we demand a free bai tlot and a fair count in all elections and pledge ourselves to secure it to every legal voter without federal intervention through the adoption by the States of the unperverted Australian oi- secret ballet system. Second—Resolved, That the revenue derived from a graduated income tax should be applied to the reduction of the burden of taxation resting upon the domestic industries of this country. Third—Resolved, That we pledge our sup port to fair and liberal pensions to ex-Union soldiers and sailors. Fourth—Resolved, That we condemn the fallacy of protecting American labor under the present system, which opens our ports to the pauper and criminal classes of the world, and crowds out our wage earners; and we de nounce the present ineffective laws against contract labor, and demand the further re striction of undesirable immigration. Fifth—Resolved, That we cordially sympa thize with the efforts of orga >ized working men to shorten tha hoursof labor, and demand a rigid enforcement of the existing eight-hour law on government work, and ask that a pen alty clause be added to the said law. Sixth—Resolved, That we regard the main tenance of a large standing army of mercena ries, known as the Pin jrton system, as a men ace to our liberties, a we demand its aboli tion ; and we condemn the recent invasion of the territory of Wyoming by the hired assas sins of plutocracy, assisted by federal officials Seventh—Resolved. Tbat we commend to the favorable cons.deration of the people and the reform press the legislative system known as the initiative and referendum. Eight—Resolved, That we favor a constitu tional provision limiting the office of President and vice-President to one term, and providing for the election of Senators of the United States by a direct vote of the people. Ninth—Resolved, That we oppose any sub sidy or national aid to an private corporation for any purpose. “The People’s Party at the outset to secure permanent control of the party organization of the people unaffected by the interests of those in public service does herebj’ in national con vention assembled at Omaha on the 4th of July, 1892, establish this ordinance as funda mental law of party organization, viz: No per son holding any office or position of profit, trust or emolument under the federal or any state or municipal government, including Sen ators, Congressmen and members of the Leg islature. State and local, shall be eligible to sit or vote iu any convention of this party, and a copy of this ordinance shall be annexed by ev ery call for any future convention of the par ty.” RESOLUTION OF SYMPATHY. Resolved, That this convention sympathizes with the Knights of Labor in their righteous Contest with the tyrannical combine of cloth ing manufacturers of Rochester and declares it to be the duty of all who hate tyranny and oppression to refuse to purchase the goods made by said manufacturers or to patronize any merchants who sell such goods.

To Our Patrons Who Are Lucky Enough To Solve Our W WE The p uwißber9 ° f the cincijj J nati Herald, one of the most in- fluential Reform newspaper’s published in this part of the world, and one of most able People’s Party, Farmer’s Alliance and Labor Advocate journals of the world, has undertaken to guarantee to the party throughout the United States and to its adver tisers (40,000) FORTY THOUSAND additional subscribers by January 1,1893, and in Or der to secure this large number in so short a time, necessitates a big outlay of money. We fully appreciate the fact that if we put agents into every county in every state in the union to canvass for subscriptions it would cost us not less than TWENTY THOUSAND DOL LARS to secure 40,000 subscribers, and then it would take these agents one year or longer to secure this number and hence to get so large a number of subscribers’in so short a time, we have carefully calculated that the cheaper and best plan is, to offer a CASH DONATION of SIO,OOO and give every man, woman and child iu the universe a chance to get a part of this large sum. t < v 40,00 u additional subscribers will bring to our advertising columns $50,000 of advertising each year and hence we oan well afford to pay out in cash to secure this list. Any school boy ten years old can see the philosophy of our argument. This is the greatest country on earth for NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE and the pub lishers of The Cincinnati Herald do not propose to allow any other newspaper on earth to get a head of them in generous boneflde offers to subscribers. i FORTY THOUSAND SUBSCRIBERS means to us $40,000 to say nothing of the large amount of money we will get through our advertising patronage, find we can well afford to GIVE AWAY SIO,OOO in premiums or rewards to those who are intelligent enough to solve our Word Puzzels as given below. This is the fairest and most original, just and straight forward offer ever made. 4 It is estimated by publishers generally who have offered premiums and rewards to the lucky guessers or solvers of their puzzles and riddles that ONE out oi every TWENTY are successful, and taking this as a basis we would be called upon to pay cash money to 2,000 persons out of 40,(XX) subscribers entering the puzzle contest. Hence, SIO,OOO divided between 2,000 persons would be $5.00 a piece for each person. It will thus be seen that each person who is lucky enough to solve our word puzzle will receive $5.00. If we should not secure more than half of this large number of subscribers, we would pay each lucky contestant $5.00 In getting 20,000 subscribers, we would pay out, figuring accord ing to the same rule $5,000 to 1,000 persons. If we get 10,000 subscribers we would pay out $2,500 to 500 persons. If we got 5,000 subscribers we would pay out $1,250 to 250 persons, and hence it will be seen that the rule applies in any case and we can well and ably afford to give each contestant to the word puzzle $5.00 if he should be successful in solving it. Each oerson can solve as many of the words as he or she may choose. e THE OQLY aOQDITIOQ: %ffer is to secure subsribers AT ONCE and in large numbers to The Cincinnati Herald one of the best newspapers published. It is aggresive, fearless and independent and is brim full of news from the whole world. Tiie People’s party principles are ably and thoroughly discussed editorially and by the best writers of the day. The Laboring classes. Farmer’s Alliance and the in dustrial classes generally will find in the columns of The Herald just such reading matter as they can not find in any other paper of the day. It’s Woman’s department is read with a deep interest by every mother and young woman in thousands of homes and copious extracts, and articles are copied in all the leading magazines and newspa pers of the world. The farm and other departments sparkle with interest and in short it is one of the most able and interesting newspapers of the age and should be in every home in christendom. It is seven column folio in size and printed in plain neat type on good paper and can be read by old as well as young with the greatest ease to the' most trying eyes. We therefore require that SI.OO be sent with each and every answer to the word puzzle to pay for a years subscription to The Herald, elf you send an answer to more that one word you will be required to send SI.OO and a separate name for each word you sob’e. RE MJEiI BE 11 we will pay you $5.00 for each word you solve correctly. If you solve one word you will be required to send SI.OO to pay for a years subscription to the Herald. If you solve two words you will be required to send $2.00 to pay for two yearly subscrip tions and so on for each word you solve. But in every case you must send a separate name and address for each word you solve. The whole amount of cash you receive for correct answers can be divided among the persons whose names you send, or you can keep the whole amount yourself just as you may arange among yourselves. In every in stance we will pay the cash rewards to the person sending the names. ■(Don’t Send answers to the puzzle without subscriptions and SI.OO for each subscription as they will not receive any attention.
