He Criticised Cleveland and
Lost his Head.
“Cleveland is another Benedict
Arnold.”
“He has betrayed the Democratic
party.”
“He was all right during his first
Administration, but he is no longer
to be trusted.”
These are some of the expressions
which were published recently on
the editorial page of the Selma Ir
rigator, a California Democratic
Free-Silver newspaper. The editor
of that paper is W. T. Lyons, then
the Democratic postmaster of that
town. His removal from that office
followed, but not, it is said, until
Postmister General Wilson had
written to Senator White of Califor
nia, who had secured the appoint
ment of Lyon in a Republican dis
trict, asking for an explanation.
The Postmaster General, in dis
cussing the affair to-day, said to the
Press correspondent: “I did not
act hastily in Lyon’s case, but I
could get no satisfaction. Ido not
believe that a man holding a com
mission from the President of the
United States should speak disre
spectfully of the Chief Executive.
I grant to everybody the right to ex
press his opinion, and even within
party lines to offer fair criticism.
Neither do I believe in interfering
with the freedom of the' press.
“Mr. Lyon, however, was dealt
with as a subordinate of the Post
Office Department. He may not as
some say, have written the article in
question, but it appeared in his pa
per and to that extent had his en
dorsement. It is a violation of the
rules of the department for any offi
cer publicly to criticise his superiors.
There is a quick redress for all offi
cial grievances, and yet this was not
an official complaint. However that
may be, I do not propose to continue
in office one who has so flagrantly
violated all the decencies of official
life. Mr. Lyon’s removal is in the
execution of that purpose. I have
received telegrams from friends of
the deposed postmaster asking a
suspension of the order of removal.
I do not see what ground of defense
can be offered, and it is my judg
ment that the Selma Post Office will
have, and ought to have, a new
head.”—New York Press.

PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER. ATLANTA, GA., SEPTEMBER 20. 1895.
THE OTHER SIDE.
MR. WORRELL EXPOSES HIS
CALUMNIATOR.
A GENTLEMANLY REPLY.
To a Bass and Groundless Charge
Made For Partisan
Purposes.
Several days ago the Chronicle
published and republisned a letter in
which Mr. Sturgis offered to bet ten
bales of cotton to prove to the satis
faction of a committee of partisan
Democrats that the tax receiver of
McDuffie county was a thief. The
Chronicle commented editorially on
this proposition of Mr. Sturgis, anil
claimed it furnished a reason for
supporting Mr. Black for Congress
and damning the Populists generally.
To-day the Chronicle publishes a
reply from Mr. Worrfll. Although
she had grievously wronged an hon
est man by allowing his character
assailed in her columns by disrepu
; table methods, and given editorial
: sanction and support to the wanton
I defamation, she did not have the
fairness to give as prominent display
to the denial as she gave to the ac
cusation. She covered it with the
mantle of silence as far as she dared.
This is Democratic.
Here is the way the calumniator
is nailed:
Thomson, Ga., Sept. 13, 1895.
Editors Chronicle :—ln your is
sue of yesterday, the 11th, there is a
letter signed by A. E. Sturgis which
makes some serious charges against
me, the tax collector of McDuffie
county, and the Populist party, to
which letter I desire to make an
swer in no uncertain way. Mr. Stur
gis is a citizen of this county, and if
the readers of the Chronicle and the
public generally knew him as his
neighbors know him no answer would
be necessary.
Mr. Sturgis, charges, first, that the
county did not owe one dollar and
had $1,500 in its treasury when the
Populists took charge. The) truth
is in ’92 the Democratic ordinary
borrowed SI,OOO, as he had done on
previous occasions. The Populists
took charge of the county offices in
1893, and as the revenues for 1892
were smaller than for any previous
year, by reason of the advance of
State tax, and this SI,OOO having
to be paid out of this small revenue
left the county in worse condition
financially than it ever had been.
The records show this assertion to
be true and that the Populist are in
no wise responsible for what they
inherited. •
As to Mr. Sturgis’s charges against
me personally the records shows
such to ba utterly untrue. Mr. Stur
gis and his committee had access to
my papers, books, and vouchers time
and again. The year 1889 is the
year that Mr. Sturgis claims I had
collected tax for which I had failed
to account. At the March term,
1889, Mr. Sturgis was a member of
the grand jury, and he was a mem
ber of the committee appointed to
examine my books and accounts for
the year 1889. Mr. Sturgis as chair
man of that committee made the fol
lowing report, which was incorpora
ted into the general presentments, to
wit: “Too much praise cannot be
bestowed upon our tax collector for
his diligence in collecting the default
tax, as his balance sheet shows $136.-
96 of said tax for 1888 and 1889
collected at this term of the court.”
In view of this report written by Mr.
Sturgis himself the animus of his
present attack can be readily seen,
I hold and have exhibited to Mr.
Sturgis and the grand jury the
vouchers and receipts of the Comp
troller General and Treasurer of Mc-
Duffie county showing a clear record
with the State and county.
Mr. Sturgis claims he can prove I
am a defaulter. Why has he not
done so before the proper tribunal ?
He complains that the grand jury,
to which he made his report, re
fused to investigate because it was
composed mostly of Populists. This
is a serious reflection upon the mem
bers of the grand jury, and no one
who knows the personnel of that
grand jury will credit the statement.
Among the members of that grand
jury appears the name of the fol
lowing gentlemen, who were then
and are still Democrats, to wit:
J. T. Wright, W. H. Stone, H. C
Langham, G. A. Rease, J. D. Barnej,
IL L. Reeves, F. M. Hobbs, W. T.
Lizenby, J. D. Wadell, E. 11. Barn
side.
,It will certainly take more than
Mr. Sturgis’ word to convince the
public that these gentlemen and the
Populists upon the grand jury w uld
wilfully violate their oaths and screen
a public officer where he had de
frauded the State and county. But
■ onceding that this particular grand
jury’ would refuse to do its duty, Mr.
Sturgis has had ample oportuniry to
have my accounts investigated by
grand juries since that time, the
majority of members composing
which were Democrats. There have
been several grand juries since then
composed of a majority of Demo
crats. The grand jury of July,
1895, was made up of a majority of
Democrats.
Why has Mr. Sturgis not gone
before these grand juries? The
truth is Mr. Sturgis’s charges are
utterly untrue, and I have been
ready at any and all times to meet
them before the proper tribunal.
Having failed to sustain his charges
before the courts, he now rushes into
print to traduce my character and
discredit the Populist party.
I stand ready at any and all times
to meet any attack upon my official
conduct before the proper tribunal.
I cannot hope to compete with Mr.
Sturgif in abuse and shall not at
tempt it. Nor shall I attempt to
i follow his wild vagaries as to inves
tigating my accounts in the imprac
tical way he proposes. If I am a
defaulter let the courts indict and
punish me. If lam iunocent I do
I not care to deprive Mr. Sturgis of
j any of his cotton to prove it. If he
I really has ten bales of cotton I would
I much prefer he would turn it over
|to the numerous creditors whom he
I owes in payment of his debts, than
i to give it to me.
I My books have been examined by
! every grand jury that has been or
-1 ganized since 1892, and my accounts j
j have been approved and endorsed.
1 This should be a complete answer in
the minds o f all fairminded men to
such charges as are made by Mr.
Sturgis.
I hope the papers that ’have pub
lished Mr. Sturgis’ letter will be kind
enough to publish tais.
Yours Truly,
I. G. Wokrill.

Hi there! you fellows that are
raring around a out hard times'
How did you vote at the last elec

didn’t you ? Voted the same ticket
the robbers did! Voted just like
the monopolists wanted you to!
Walked right up and voted against
the only anti monopoly party’ there
was ! How do you feel now ? Hard
times? Well, you voted for the fel
lows who made times hard! The
two old parties have been in power
all the time. You have been voting
to keep them there, and each year
the times got harder all the time.
And you, you great big yawking
ninnie, you followed the band wagon
in each. Each year they promised
you better times, campaigned and

vote has done. You ought to be
ashamed of yourself. You ought to
go out and die. God has given you
great opportunities. You, like a fool,
have voted them away. Your revolu

voted back your dependence on Eng
land, and stand to day, with your
fingers in your mouths, asking Eng
land if you may have free silver.
For shame! You haven’t got as
much independence as a hound dog.
You grumble about your condition
and then vote to make it worse all
the time. A doodlebug would have
more sense than that. You ought
