X ®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®® 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. Micon Evening News. 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. of France! i PRICE, • SI 00.5 1 Mr. Watson’s new his-S i torical work is now ready? ] for delivery. ’ p It is elegantly printed, 4 and beautifully bound in?
