Mr. B. M. Blackburn’s papar, Tint
Atlanta Commercial is making a
gallant fight for onr State and Na
tional ticket. While Mr. Blackburn
is a Democrat, he is thoroughly in
dependent, and having declared his
preference for Watson and Wright
he may be relied on to defend the
ticket from all unjust attacks.
This being the case it was decided
that instead of establishing a daily
paper ourselves we woul3 export

County Meetings and Resolutions
At great expense and to theexclu
siou of olher matter we have hereto
fore published j.roceedings of neigh
borhood meetings and county con
ventions.
We beg our friends to bear in
mind that a great campaign is now
on, and that if we should publish all
the resolutions adopted at county
meetings, and the minutes of the
Secretary thereof, we would have no
room for anything else.
Excuse us, good friends, and pub
lish these county proceedings in the
county paper.
Wharton Barker’s American.
One of the very best free-silver
papers published anywhere is The
American, published in Philadelphia
and edited by Wharton Barker.
His reasoning upon the topics con
nected with the money question is
strong and clear; his resea-ch untir
ing, and his manner of presenting his
views most-convincing.
The American holds itself npon a
high plane, and deals in no editorial
shoddy,—no extravagance, no sophis
try, no intemperate abuse of op
ponents.
We recommend The American to
any one who wishes to follow intel
ligently every turn of the financial |
discussion.
Its suiscription price is 12.00 per ;
year; SI.OO for six months.
We will send The American and
The Peoples Party Paper 1 year
(or $2.00; or six months for SI.OO.

Tom Cobb.
It was bravely done—bravely,
loyally and wisely.
He stood in New York itself—did
this gallant Southern boy—and amid
the festivities of the Bryan and Sew
all demonstration dared to epaak
boldly for Watson and the South!
In his own chosen lair, Tom Cobb
bearded the lion cf the North: in
his own particular Hall, Tom Cobb
bearded the Douglass of the East.
"I itn a Democrat” says Tom,
“but a Georgian also;—a man of the
South, loving her as I love the life
blood in my veins. For thirty years
she has worn sack-cloth and has
crouched in the ashes of humiliation.
She has been in the Union—yet not
in it. She has been forgiven the
alleged sin of Secession, —and yet
not forgiven.
“Her 156 voteselects your Presi
dent, yet no son of hers must be
honored wrth her vote!
“The time has come when wa will
bear this no longer 1 In the name
of our honored fathers, I call upon
the sons of the South to lift the
standard of revolt and stand up for
the rights of the South.”
Thus spoke Tom Cobb, and as his
manly voice rang through the room,
and boomed out through the win
dows, those within, though Northern
men, sprang to their feet and cheered
the gallant gentleman who thus
spoke for Lis people; and those who
were passing on the streets, gathered
into curious and excited groups as
they caught his burning words.
Well done, Tom Cobb! Not so
much because you spoke for me—
no ! —but because you spoke the firit
manly, patriotic and Southern speech
which any politician of the South
has uttered in New York since the
war!
You spoke for Georgia and all her
Southern sisters, —and no man had a
better right to speak for them.
You said just what ninety-nine
out of every hundred Georgians
would say, if the party bridles were
oast off.
You spoke the truth as you see it
and feel it, and better than that, no
man can speak.
Democratic editors in Georgia
have not garlanded you with praise,
Tom Cobb. They shy at your
speech, and quiver with terror at
your audacity.
For thirty years their craven souls
have bent humbly to the brdship of
the North and East, and their knees
are worn with much kneeling.
They are so used to the dust of
political cowardice that they shrink
from the high, pure, clear atmos
phere of the brave.
They may not greet you with
warmth and generous pride when
you come back to Georgia, but there
are those who will—thank God!
The honest, unselfish Democrat
who seeks no office and wears no
chain—he will cheer you when he
meets you:—for his heart thrills in
unison with every word yon spoke.
The young men of the South, of
all parties whatsoever, will cheer
you when you come—for the pro
scription against which you spoke is
as intolerable to them as to you.
And the Populists of Georgia—
one hundred thousand strong—will
cheer you when you come—for away
off in New York, amid the richest
Democrats on earth, you were not
ashamed of Watson and of those
whose standard he bears 1
Wherever this paper finds its way,
wherever these hurried lines are
read, warm hearts will follow what
I’ve written, strong hands will lift
the hat into the air, and manly faces
will beam with pleasure as the Pop
ulists who love tru'h and courage
and patriotism cry out, “Three cheers
for Tom Ccbb 1 ”
Sewall and McKinleyism.
Hon. Ar hur Sewall is President
of the “American Merchant Murine
Associition,” which was organized
in Philadelphia on the 9th of April,
1895.
The purpose of the Association is
to secure special legislation from
Congress in bshalf of the New En
gland ship builders, and, with this
end in view, representatives of the
Association were sent to the state
conventions of the Republican party
in the state of New Jersey, Georgia,
Alabama, Connecticut, Pennsylvania,
North Carolina, Michigan, Indiana.
Delaware, and Colorado.
With the exception of Indiana,
each of the states visited took action
favorable to the designs of the As
sociation.
At the Republican National Con
vention President Sewall’s agents
were equally successful, and the
McKinley platform assures the ship.
PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER, ATLANTA, GA., AUGUST 21, 1896.
builders of the governmental aid
they seek.
Having in this neat and business
like way got the Republicans commit
ted to their selfish designs, the New
England ship builders turned their at
tention to the Democrats. They
met with wonderful success. While
nothing was said in the Chicago
Platform in favor of the Association,
its President was nominated for the
Vice-Presidency of the United
States.
The American Merchant Marine
Association may, therefore, congrat
ulate itself upon having won greater
success in a shorter campaign than
any capitalistic combine which has
yet conspired against the American
tax-payer and consumer. In less
than five months their syndicate of
Eastern plutocrats has lassoed both
the leading political parties.
The Tariff legislation which for
bids the use of foreign materials and
foreign vessels, has already given
the New England ship-builders a
monstrous monopoly, at the expense
of the people. Every American is
virtually compelled to buy Ameri
can-built ships. In the coast-wise
trade no foreign-built ship is allowed
upon any terms.
Not satisfied with these special
laws in their favor, the New England
ship-builders demand that Congress
shall levy a duty of 10 per cent upon
all goods not imported in American
built ships.
In other words, Mr. Sewall and
his Republican associates demand
that the Government drive game
into their net by levying a fine of
ten per cent upon goods which do
not cross the ocean in their ships.
If the Ron. Tom Reed or Major
McKinloy were found advocating
legislation of this kind no surprise
would bo felt. It is in keeping with
their creeds and their records.
But if Mr. Arthur Sewall remains
on the Democratic ticket after the
exposure of the designs of the Asso
ciation of which he isjPresident, the
people will be justified in believing
that, beneath the Populist planks of
the Chicago platform and the free
silver eloquence of Mr. Bryan, lurks
the deliberate deception and the
deep-laid plan of those who fatten
nn class
Editorial Notes.
The Hon. Philander Morgan, of
Alabama, who has published a letter
urging Watson to “come down,” will
be grief-stricken when he learns th it
the Hon. Arthur Sewall, of Maine,
has “been caught” circulating cam
paign literature of the McKinley sort;
and that the son of said Arthur is
making stump speeches for McKinley.
* * *
The Hon. Philander Morgan, of
Alabama, is the same eminent in
dividual who left the Populist party,
some months ago, and who was
received by the Democrats with that
delirious joy which Gen. Weaver and
Joe Pottle have so keenly enjoyed.
We advise, Philander to drop a
line, by the next mail, to the Hon.
Harold Sewall, of Bath, Me., com
manding that eloquent gentleman to
“come down” off the stump, and to
quit miking speeches against his own
daddy.
* * *
The lion. Philander Morgan, of
Alabama, says that Watson ought to
‘■come down” because Sewall is
“stronger” than he.
When Philander, seated himself
and took his pen in hand to write
those few lines he surely was not
aware of the fact that Sewall was
not “strong” enough to carry his own
son.
The New York papers announce
that Chairman Jones who dismissed
the Southern Populists “to the
negroes where they belong,” has now
given up all hope of carrying the
Northern.and Ne .v England States,
ami has dismissed them to the Re
publicans.
If Senator Jones keeps on talking
at this rate, he will soon have Bryan’s
campaign reduced to that convenience
of size which will enable a buggy
umbrella to keep the sun off it.
Mr. Sewall of Maine enjoys the
distinction of being the only Demo
crat who ever ran for Presidential
office and could not get the support
of his own son.
* • *
Hon. Harold Sewall is a stalwart
Republican and bis father, lion.
Arthur Sewall, is now circulating
campaign documents of the Republi
can sort. Suppose Bryan should be
elected and dis—what kind of Presi
dent would Sewall make ?
Grover Cleveland himself is not
more acceptable to tbe Trusts and
the Protected Classes than Arthur
Sewall would be.
• * •
The Hon Philander Morgan, of
Alabama, is hereby informed that if
Mr. Watson’s son should take the
stump against his daddy, the said
daddy will then and there begin to
consider the suggestion about “com
ing down.”
But not till then, Philander—not
till then.
• * *
The main purpose of the candidacy
of Sewall seems to be to contradict
what Bryan asserts.
Mr. Bryan had hardly finished the
speech in which he said that those
who would elect him would ask no
favors of the government, before
Sewsll discloses the fact that he is
the chosen representative of those
who will demand a ten per cent dis
crimination in behalf of the New
England ship builders.
* * *
That was a magnetic and power
ful little speech made by Hon. H. IL
Colquitt at Alpharetta.
He spoke as a Democrat and a
Georgian-a patriot and not a partisan,
He urged union of South and West,
and dwelt upon the splendid oppor
tunity the South now had to regain
her old position in the Union.
Mr. Colquitt is the son of the late
Hon. Walter T. Colquitt, and the
brother of the late Senator Alfred H.
Co’quitt.
His manner on the stump is much
like that of his deceased brother.
He speaks with absolute ease, in
tense earnestness, and fine command
of good English. His points are
scored with sledge-hammer force and
the echo of each blow is a cheer from
the crowd.
Mr. Co'quitt will be heard from
again in this campaign, and unless
we are much mistaken he will be
rated as one of the best stump speak
ers in Georgia when the contest is
over.
• * *
In two counties of Georgia the
Democrats have officially declared
their preference for Bryan and Wat
son.
Fifty-two Democratic papers in
Georgia h ? -V expressed their prefer
ence for Bi- 'i and Wateon.
Roll on—deep tide of Sou hern
patriotism!
The politicians will feel your force
bye and bye.
Good Advice From an Impartial
Source.
Let bimetallists of sll parties pull
together, let those who are resolve 1
on freeing our people from depend
ence on foreign money cliques and
their American allies put aside party
prejudices, let Democrats make it
easy for Pooulists to throw thei r
strength to Mr. Bryan by according
them fair treatment and recognizing
them as men who are prompted by
patriotism and a resolve to free our
people from the yoke of the money
power, let Populists, on the other
hand, put aside their petty jealousies
within their party as well as without;
above all let all parties drop the as
sumption that they alone have a
monopoly of patriotism, an assump
tion both of Democrats and Popu
lists that crops out from time to time,
Jet us all give our support to Mr.
Bryan and the principle of Ameri
can independence for wh'ch ho
elands, and come what may we will
confound the machinations of the
money cl ques to enslave our propls
and we will inauguarane an era of
prosperity and advancement for our
common country that will ast< nish
the world.—The Ameiican, Phila
delphia.
Sewall and liis Son.
Perhaps something might be done
to settle the silver question by arrang
ing a joint discussion betwe'n candi
date Ar hur Sewall and hie son
Harold M. Sewall, as represents ives
of the opposing sides. Candidate
Sewall’s ccckeureness could not be
greater if be had written “Coin’s
Financial School,” but so long as he
is unable to convert his own sun to
his views he has no right to expect
that other people’s sons will care
much about anything that he says.—

Chairman.
Why the Lights Went Out.
It was an existing scene when the
ballot was taken at midnight for vice
president. It was plain the conven
tion was going for Watson. The
Sewall men were trying to force an
adjournment. The gallaiies had their
cue and cried “adjourn, adj uurn.”
Tom Patterson of Colorado, Stone of
Missouri, and Gen. Weaver of lowa,
were holding a conference back of
the chairman’s desk. It was anything
to beat Watson. Gen. Weaver in
person appealed to the delegates to
adjourn as they were “in no frame
of mind to nominate.” He was
greeted with cries of “no,” and Sena
tor Allen ordered the roll call. The
Southern delegations were split up
over favorite sone, and it was plain
no nomination would be made on the
first ballot. Several men of Nebraska
ran, with trembling lips, to the Texas
and Tennessee delegations to beg
them to changa their votes to Wat
son. Tom Patterson, the Populist
Democrat of Colorado, and Governor
Stone, the silver Democrat of Mis
souri—as I saw with my own eyes—
broke up their conference and Stone
walked away to a remote part of the
building. In less than two minutes
after Stone’s disappearance the eleo
trie lights began to flutter and pale.
While Texas clamored for recognition
to change her vote for Watson the
row of gallery chandeliers went out,
leavirg us in twilight, and the
moment after Tennessee changed her
vote giving Watson the votes to
nominate, e’very light went out and
the blackness cf Missouri bourbon
Democracy reigned above men who
shouted and cried and shook hands
and cheered for Tom Watson of
Georgia, the heroic Populist and
leader of the South. After ten min
utes the light was again turned on
and at “16 to 1” sixteen minutes to
one o’c’ock Chairman Allen an
nounced Toni Watson’s nomination
and adjournment immediately fol
lowed.
No power on earth can ever per
suade me that it was not the hand of
Governor Stone that turned off those
lights. And the malignant bitter
ness and vi'operation, the wrath,
lurid damnation curses, invectives
and personal abuse that poured from
Ilin Demcfcrats ;si the galleries and in
the hotels upon that convention of
Populists for presuming to name a
Populist for vice president were con
firmation. I never heard anything
like it. It wrs hell itself turned
loose. St. Louis Democrats, with
whom I became a quainted and
whom I met afterward in the hotel
lobbies were white as molten lava
with rag’. A for me, I drew a long
breath and said “Thank God, Popu
lism still lives and Tom Watson is its
leader. Let the heathen rage.” Let
the Populists of Northwest Nebraska
bear these things in mind. This is
no exaggeration. It was (ho deliber
ate purpose cf the Bourbon Demo
mocracy to break and destroy the
Populist party at St. Louis.
The story of Bryan’s nomination is
already well told to you. It was
made possible without a bolt by the
nomination of Watson. Peace had
already stretched her wings over the
hall when the convention met next
morning, and when State after State
which had come thtre hostile to Bry
an swung into line for Nebraska’s
gallant son every vote was a p:en of
rejoicing in the hearts of the dele
gates. Even the bitterness of Texas
was gone and Georgia raised shouts
of victory when she cast 55 of her 61
votes for W. J. Bryan.
One word to close this loug letter.
The Populist party is the coming
party of America. It has met its
greatest crisis; met it bravely, con
quered its enemies, carquered its
own selfishness an 1 partisanism—the
pith of brotherhood union and vic
tory lies broad before us.
A. E. Sheldon,
The Alabama Election.
The result in Alabama is due to
Alabama methods. Votes do nut
count against Alabama Democratic
election frauds. Mr. Baltzell, chair
man of the People’s party State
committee, makes the following
statement relative to the late elec
tion:
“The eledion last Monday wa ß
characterized by frauds more wide
spread than at any previous election,
and in the black belt, in defiance of
law and in contempt for the opposi
tion, which the law required should
be recognized by from three to ten
representatives at every poll, the
Populists were denied the represen
tation. In Montgomery, at the
court house poll, an illiterate sus
pected his ticket was wrongly
marked, showed it to friends to de-
cide, and the fact was developed
that a Goodwyn ticket had been
marked for Johnston. The illiterate
was arrested and jailed for showing
his ticket, and tee marker, who was
guilty of the crime, was not inter
rupted. In the black belt counties
the reports state that Dallas and the
other black belt counties will send
up the usual majorities, which means
that whatever majority may be need
ed from these counties will be tent
up when the vote is canvassed.
“The Populists are very muoh ex ■
asperated on account of the wrongs
practiced upon them and will not
support the Bryan Democratic elec
tors. They will put out an electoral
ticket for Bryan and Watson. The
Democrats can take down their tick
et, vote for that ticket, or see 100,-
000 votes practically lost. If this
shall not be done, the Populists will
refuse to vote and let the silver
Democrats work out their destiny
and repent their meanness. Self
respect, manhood and civil liberty
are dearer to some people than free
silver or any other political issue.
‘ Hon. A. T. Goodwyn made a
brilliant, effective campaign, visiting
nearly every county and speaking to
the largest audiences ever accorded
a speaker in this state. He has been
elected by from 16,000 to 17,010
majority in the white counties and
received about 40,000 votes in the
black belt, but these 40,000 votes
are counted for Johnston, giving him
a majority of about 25,000.”
Frank Baltzell,
Chairman Campaign Committee.
Comforting to General Weaver.
It will rejoice the genial soul of
Gen. James B. Weaver, of lowa, to
learn that he has acquired a firm
lodgment in the confidence and
esteem of vast numbers of his coun
trymen who formerly, and not very
long ago, regirded him a “howling
lunatic'’ and a “dangerous dema
gogue.” This change of sentiment
is not the product of any change
of views, opinions, or convictions on
the part of Gen. Weaver. Ila is un
changed and unchangeable. Although
he is now a statesman “of distin
guished ability” he believes the same
things, thinks the same thoughts, and
advocates the same theories that he
did four years ago when he was the
Populist candidate for the Presi
dency. The ex-candidate is now
accompanying the present candidate
of his party on his Eastern tour, and
this incident moves the Atlanta Con
stitution to remark that “Gen. Weaver
is a man of high patriotism and of
distinguished ability, with a mind
large enough to comprehend great
principles, and entirely too broad for
such narrow conceptions as gather
around a scramble for small offices.”
Four years ago, about this time,
this “man of high patriotism and
distinguished ability” was getting out
of Giorgia, and the Constitution
was hilarious over his exit. It will
be remembered that Mrs. Lease and
Candidate Weaver undertook to
stump the South in the interest of
the r party, and that they gave up
the attempt. They stated that they
were the recipients of such tributes
as stale eggs, and they declared that
they left the South for fear of per
sona! violence. “Weaver Skips”
was the headline under which the
Constitution recorded their exit.
Os course, Gen. Weaver is a great
man. How else could he have been
the Populist leader in 1892? But
great as he is, ho is human, and must,
therefore, be deeply sentible of the
compliment now paid him by the
Constitution. But that compliment
is only an incident of the grander
tribute paid to him and his party by
his and its acceptance into the heav
ing bosom of the Demuora'io party.
This is Weaver’s victory and vindi
cation. This is the reason why the
“howling lunatic” has come to be a
broad-gauge statesman.- Washington

Two of a Kind,
From Chicago Evening Post.
Tha two candidates for Vice Presi
dent are pretty equally matched,
except as to age, Mr. Sewall being
a great deal older than Mr- Hobart.
I Both wear mustaches and each looks
i as though he was trying to pattern
his hair after President Cleveland.
They are both corporation men and
rich. Mr. Sewall was president of
’he Maine central for years and is
president of a national bank now
He is at the head of a ship building
company and is interested in many
other business enterprises. Mr.
Hobart is president of the Passaio
Water company, of t e Aquackancnk
Water company, of the Morris
Couaty railroad and of the Paterson
Electric railway. He is besides a
director in two other railroad com
panies and in two bank?, one cf them
a national bink. He is director in
a lot of other companies too numer
ous to mention. From a business
point of view there doesn’t seem to
be much choice between the two
Vico Presidential candidates. Mr
Sewall is an ardent silver man, while
Mr. Hobart is equally ardent in his
opposition to free coinage. ■
