Their Denial Won’t Stand.
An effort is made to deny respon
sibility for certain disreputable cir
culars sent out from Democratic
headquarters.
The most dangerous of these was
4.U.* «.w<, contained th«
in&a. ——— — ;
“He pardoned Adolphus Duncan,
s negro who had been twice con
victed of rape on a white woman,
and had been sentenced to hang.”
“He reprieved Gus Fambles, a
negro, who was convicted of murder
ing a white man, until the case of
the other accessory, a white woman,
is passed upon by the Supreme Court.
Now, that circular wts issued from
Democratic headquarters in A.lanta
and was sent, out, along with other
campaign literature, to certain promi
nent Democratic politicians in Geor
gia. The letter containing the circu
cular in question was received in
Macon on Thursday, September 3d,
and bore date of “Atlanta, Septem
ber 2d.” The envelope in which it
was enclosed was the c ffieial envelope
of the Democratic executive commit
tee and was as follows :
State Democratic Headquarters.
Atlanta, Georgia.
Kimball House: Rooms 116, 151.
A. S. Clay, Chairman,
Democratic Executive Committee.
Among tho campaign literature ac
companying the incendiary circular
in question was a copy of Mr. Bryan’s
speech of acceptance, a leaflet on
what the Democratic administration
has done for Georgia, and another
lesflet giving the receipts and ex
penses of the State for last year.
Now, is it possible that such litera
ture was sent out by other than tho
Democratic executive or campaign
committee? Is it at all likely that
the negroes would have sent out
copies of Mr. Bryan’s speech of ac
ceptance? Is it possible that the
Populists wouhl have sent out leaflets
showing wbat the Democratic admin
istration has done for Georgia? Isn’t
it more likely that the Democratic
campaign managers would attend to
this? And if the Democratic man
agers sent out these leaflets, they
alto sent out the Adolphus Duncan
circular—because they were sent
OUT IN THE SAME ENVELOPE.
Now, who is going to believe the
Democratic executive committee
when they deny all connection with
the circular in question? Nobody.
No, gentlemen, you pitched the
State campaign on the wrong plane
AND NOBODY IS NOW MORS PAIN
FULLY AWARE OF THAT FA(.T THAN
yourselves. But you shall not
shirk the responsibility for your act--
you shall not leave the News with
the bag to hold. You are guilty, and
you know it, and everybody else
knows it. When you attempt to
deny it, you simply make a bad mat
ter worse.
The News’ only object in alluding
to your incendiary circular was to
wirn ana-waube you to stop
such methods. But you were self
opinionated, and you would not listen
to reason. On the contrary you con
tinued to send out these and other
circulars and you kept up this style
of campaign until the decency of the
Slate began to revolt. And then, at
last, you saw the error of your way
—and now you are trying to craw
fish out of it.
No, gentlemen, you starled out
with a wrong conception of the situ
ation.
Even the Telegraph says of it:
“One, at least, of these blunders is
of the kind that can be, with justice,
called a crime. We allude to the cir
cular, extensively distributed, in
tended to attract negro votes to the
Democratic ticket.”
The righteous indignation which
your plan of campaign has aroused
within our own party has now fright
ened you into a denial of all respon
sibility for the objectionable circulars.
You either seek ta place the blame
upon others, or make it appear that
someone has been lying on you
And your effort to sneak out of it is,
if possible, even more contemptible
than the “crime” itself.
But why should you make a denial?
And what do you hope togain there
by? Do not Mr. Atkinson’s own ut
terances on the Mu up oonviot you?
Has not Mr. Atkinson himself said
to and about the negro all and more
than your incendiary circulars can
tain? Is it not true that his own
speeches prove that your plan of
campaign was mutually agree! upon,
and up to the time you began to see
the disastrous effects of it, persistently
pursued by all of you?
Now, gentlemen, to disprove your
responsibility for the circulars in
question and for the plan of campaign
which you have seen lit to id opt, you
will have to break down the affidavits
which thousands of reputable men
throughout Georgia will be willing to
make as to Mr. Atkinson’s public ut
terances, which correspond almist
verbatim with the language of your
circulars. You will have to impeach
some of tho most reputable politicians
of your party, who have received
these circulars direct frem you You
will have to go a step further and
make your own printer swear falsely.

PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPJk ATLANTA, GA„ OCTOBER 2, 1896.
SEWALL IS FOR
EUROPEAN WAGES
HIS RECORD AS AN ENEMY
OF THE LABORING MAN
WELL KNOWN.
STRIKES IN HIS SHIPYARD.
He Regards Toilers as so Much
Machinery, is the Verdict of
Those Who Have Worked
For Him.
From a Special Correspondent of tbe
Press.
Bath, Me., Sept., I.—“ European
wages are good enough for Ameri
can workingmen.”
This declaration, according to a
prominent citizen of this place, was
made by Arthur Sewill, Vice Presi
dential candidate on the Democratic
national ticket, to that citizen per
sonally soon after Mr. Sewall begin
to take active interest in his father’s
business affairs.
“This declaration,” said the citizen
quoted, “has been the ruling principle
of Mr. Sewall in his relations with
workingmen from the time he gave
utterance to it until now. After he
assumed control of the Bewail ship
yard Mr. Sewall began his aotive
campaign of wage reduction, which
he has never relinquished, and which
has made him the most unpopular
employer of labor in this city. His
record is known, and he will get fe v
votes of laboring men iu the whole
State of Maine.”
PLENTY OF EVIDENCE.
Thus spoke an employer of labor
who had risen from its ranks by hard
work and attention to business, and
with his permission The Press’s
special correspondent went among
his employes in search of men who
had worked for Mr. Sewall, whose
own yard is now idle—in fact, wai
almost clcied with a strike before
the last ship built was liunohei.
7'116 Press’s special correspondent
found men by scores who had worked
for Mr. Sewall, and each and every
one substantiated the statements be-
“Mr. Sewall,” said a calker who
was seen, “Is only doing now what
he has always baon doing. In advo
eating free silver h 6 is trying to cut
down our wages. We understand
the whole question, and ate going to
do all wo can to prevent him carry
ing out his plan, just as we have
done before. We can’t strike now,
but we can vote against him, aud we
are going to do so.”
can’t CAREY HIS OWN FAMILY.
A man engaged fitting some irons
on the bow of a vessel stopped work
a moment and declared that he and
all others who know from experi
ence or report of Mr. Sewall’s an
tagonism to hb»r would certainly di
all they could to defeat him.
“Why.” said he, “Mr. Sewall can’t
carry his own family, his own pre
cinct, ward, c lunty or state, and I
don’t believe he can carry this Na
tion, without Mr. Bryan at the head
of the ticket. If Mr. Sewall’s labor
record were shown up as it should
be, Mr. Bryan’s eloquence could not
explain it away to the satisfaction of
the laboring men of this country.”
Mr. Sewall during the last twenty
years has had frequent troubles with
his employes, caused in the majority
of cases by unsatisfactory treatment
on the wage question. Os all these
disturbances the most serious was
i the strike of 1887-1888, when opsra
■ tions in his shipyard were entirely
’ suspended becau’o of of a reduction
in wages which the men thought not
only unfair and unjust, but unroa
sonable and dishonest.
REASONS FOR STRIKING.
During the fall of 1887 Mr. Setr
ail's employes held meetings at
which they discussed the
and appointed committees to investi
gate and see what could be done.
Their most important meeting wa
held on Novenber 30. It was called
to order over Farrar’s store, but was
so largely attended as to compel al
journment to the city hall, which
was crowded to the doors.
At this meeting one committee re
ported that Mr. Sewall had taken
contrac s on all vessels then buil 1
ing on a wage basis of $2 50 This
report wrs declared to be substan
tiated by proof, which could be pro
dueed ifnscessary, and consequently
called forth the strongest denuncia
tion of the man whom the men. re-
garded as i bing them of their own,
for Sewall i ,s then paying $1 75 to
skilled woi ngmen and $1.25 to
. laborers.
Another mmittee reported that
in Baltimor philaielphia and other
places skilk men wore paid s‘^-50 )
and in Datr ; $2.75.
LOWE WAGES IN BATH.
These re[ rts determined the ac
tion of tbe im, and they immedi -
ately began > prepare for a strike’
They were i ged by men in other
yards to allow them to help, but re
fused to do !t>, as better wages were
i paid in all oh er yards in Bath, and
tiese wages||iey did not care to en
danger.
Throughci|t December, January
and Februaiy Mr. Sewall’s men held
meetings, perfected plans and con.
tributed to ajpomnion fund, and on
March 1, 188, struck in a body, so
that tho yarlwas silent as a grave,
yard. Mr. nwsl ’s every ship car
penter wentbut and stayed out.
On Marctfi, when he discovered
that h's ealloyes meant businass,
Mr. Sewall tied to tempt them back
with the prinise of fifty cent ad
vance all yriind, but they remained
firm. Mr. men wanted and
demanded'iiir wages, just as his
contracts provided they should have*
YIBLDtD RELUCTANTLY.
’On March MjMr.Se wall yielded,af
ter having triedin vainto procure men
from other yarls, and agreed to pay
skilled men $5 50, the next lower
grade $2 25, aid common laborers
$1.75. The nun thought they had
won a victory.
But no soontr had work been re
. Burned than they found out their
miitake. Mr. Sewall placed on his
payrolls very few $2.50 meo, more
$2.25 men, and still more $1.75 men.
There were threats of another strike,
but as the men could see nothing to
be gained in contending with a trick
ster they submitted the autocratic
authority exercised by the man who
is now Vice President! 11 candidate
on the Democratic ticket.
GRADED THEM OUT.
Mr. Sewall continued his grading
process until the men, according to
their statements, were all paid alike.
They gradually procured employ
ment in other yards, and their places
were iaken by Canadians at still
lower wages,
Such was tbeugrg it. .Kirks in Ar
■iiu< as rAnearsea
by his ex-employes and verified in
the essential points by the Bath
Daily Timer. But this was not by
any means the last strike. As has
been said before, Mr. Sa wall hid
trouble with his men on the last ship
(an iron vessel) which he ever built.
“Arthur Sewall,” said a gray
headtd carpenter as he rested his
adz on a stick of timber, “regards
all workingmen ai machines. He
has no more feeling for them than he
has for the steam engine which runs
yonder mill. He discharged a house
finisher because the poor fellow went
to a relative’s funeral, although he
asked permission to do so. Mr.
Sewall told him he could go, but not
■ to be surprised to find some one on
his job when he got back, and that’s
just what the poor fellow found.
This was when Air. Sewall was build-
| ing that fine house of his.”
I KAILROAD WAGES REDUCED.
' During his investigation in this
The Press’s special correspondent
heard that Mr. Sewall had pursued
bis wage reduction campaign on the
Maine Central Railroad, and found
' upon careful inquiry this to be a
j fact. He was Vice President of the
| road when he began his crusade
against labor, as the writer was in
formed, and for three weeks demand,
ed of Payson Tucker, the general
manager, that wages be reduced. So
urgently did ha press his demand
that Mr. Tucker at last was com
pelled to accede, with the result that
Maine Central Railroad men ware
soon working, they declare, for 25
per cent, less wages.
Os all the railroad man questioned
not one will vote for Arthur Sewall,
though they dare not openly work
against him for fear of losing their
places, as he is still an influential
diruotcr of the road.
LABOR DETESTS HIM,
I I Q short, laboring men throughout
Maine are against Arthur Sewall be
cause he has bean and is now against
them, and because they believe that
he further is advocating free silver
from selfish motives, there being a
report current that tie owns $117,000
of silver mine stock.
Be this as it may—for it does not
j cut mac iof a figure compared to
more tangible reasons tor opposing
him—the fact remains that Arthur
’ ; Sewall is the most disliked of any
I capitalist in Maine, and will have the
. i labor vote solidly against him.
