National Committee Reviewed.
To The People’s Party Paper:
And so the Executive Committee
of the People’s Party got together
the other day in Chicago and issued
a manifesto, did it? And they have
“resolnted” something on this wise :
“That inasmuch as we sacrificed
everything eave honor when we met
at St. Louis for the purpose of se
curing harmony among the reform
ranks, submitting to humiliation, lick,
ing the feet that so often have kick
ed us, etc, in the hope that onr un
selfish example would be teoipro
cated by the Democratic party; and
inasmuch as the said Democratic
party still clings to its time-honored',
prerogative of taking all it can get,
keepingall it can hold, and is still
Democratic (?) that is to say, is still
utterly void of honor or principle,
still insensible to justice, still an in
grate, void of feeling and because of
these characteristics is unable to
make any concessions and to meet
us on half-way ground, therefore
be it resolved, that we sacrifice all
that is left us—our honor—that we
throw down our principles, put on
sack-cloth and ashes, get on our faces
in the dust, and crawl into the Dem
cratic camp on any terms that Sena
tor Jones and his henchmen may dic
tate; that in the very moment when
victory is possible we “fuse” our
party out of existence by amalga
mating it with the very enemy we
have given the last six years of our
life to destroy.”
Fellow Populists, what do you
think of the above resolutions? True,
these men on the executive commit
tee ought to understand their busi
ness, but have not we, the people
who constitute the People’s party,
a right to say whether or not our
principles shall be forfeited and our
party “fused away?” We’ve given
too much sweat to this fight during
the past six years to now give up
the battle. Victory is too near in
hand for us now to speak of compro
m s", much lees surrender. Having
planted our banner in tho very heart
cf the enemy’s country it is now too
late to haul it down. If our leaders
prove weak-kneed in this critical
cement, then remember fellow-com
moners, tnat this fight began with
the common people and the coultt*-..
people must maintain it.
Let us remember the old Green
back party whose ruins stand out
today a monument to its own stupid
simplicity aud to the treachery of
the party that stole its platform and
betrayed it. Having, as I said, com
promised away everything at the St.
Louis convention save our honor, we
placed that in tie hands o' a man
whom we knew wo could trust, a
man who, having consecrated his
life to our cause, anil had proved his
ability and fidelity, the common
people had learned to love. Placing
this great responsibility upon Mr.
Watson when we made him our
nominee for Vice President. We
promised to stand by him in this bat
tle. We have made him conspicu
ous as our color-bearer, and tiue to
his trust, Mr. Watson has planted
cur banner in the thickest of the
fight only to find himself deserted—
deserted, did 1 say? Nay, nay! His
lieutenants may beat a retreat but
the boys in the trenches are going to
stand by their colors, To desert our
Standard-bearer now would be with
out a parallel in history since Joat
of Arc was betrayed by the people
God sent her to deliver.
It is in faithful obedience to the
command of a sovereign people that
Tom Watson upholds the standard
of bis party today, and only this
sovereign people have the right to
order their standard lowered.
And now in response to that rab
ble clamor that Watson come down
in favor of the “gold clause” demi
god from Maine, the boys in the
trenches would reply that the reason
dont come down is because
he is not a traitor to the people who
put him up. And right here the i
boys in the trenches would serve j
notice to the world that while Tom '
Watson lives they have no fear of I
their colors being lowered or of the
People’s Parly being buiied; and
when Tom Watson falls a martyr to
their cause, the boys in the trenches ;
will take up their banner, so bravely
borne, and carry it forward to vic
tory, made possible only by the
faithfulness and courage of that hero. j

Broken Faith.—The Compact
Violated.
Birmingham, Ala,, Oct. 15, 1896.
Hon. Tnomas E. Watson, Thomson,
Ga.:
My Dear Sir—The demand for
your retirement as our candidate for
the vice presidency is pure insolence.
Don’t come down except by special
command of Almighty God. (I speak
with deepest reverence.) Our people
deserve all of the intense humiliation
we are being heaped with for touch
ing the unclean thing, Democracy, or
for believing it capable of keeping a
compact which it can break with or
without impunity. The love of a lie
seems so deeply ingrained that it has
always obscured whatever wit of
statesmanship it may have possessed.
The legitimate result of the infamy
of the extra session of’93 was death
to the party. The attempt to revamp
with Populism was sound politics if
they could do it, and if patriotism
had been behind it corporate power
could not have made a decent defense
even tho’ lead by the ability of a
Hanna, much less an assault which
appears now to be won.
But the truth is, that after the
compact was made with Chairman
Jones at St. Louis that for our sup
port you should occupy Mr. Sewall’s
place on the ticket, they saw that
| success under such an arrangement
I would kill Democracy and so the
negaters in control concluded it to be
to their interest to preserve the dear
party at the probable cost of Ameri
l can liberty—and they broke the con
tract. I despise them for their per
fidy and yet I reckon that is wrong.
They probably couldn’t help it.
Things are usually ordered and the
Lord God uses human agency
amongst men. The awful corruption
I —personal and official—will bring
upon us the open wrath of God.
I Revolution fierce and bloody is almost
upon us. There is no other adequate
remedy. Let it come. We need it,
but don’t you retire.
Sincerely Yours,
Geo. P. Zimmerman.

| Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson,
Dear Sir and Brother Populists:
Whiap reading the news from ihe
various parts of the country in the
People’s Party Paper, and seeing
nothing from our state, (Tenn) I will
give you a few items on the politi
cal situation here, as viewed from a
“middle-of-the-road” Papulist stand
point.
National, we are for Bryan and
Watson, first, last, and all tho time.
Possessed with that liberal and
patriotic, (?) spirit that always char
acterizes the Bourbon Damooiacy of
the South, when they see defeat
staring them in the face, they had
the audacity to propose fusion to our
s:ate committee on the basis of four
Populist electors to eight Democratic
electors, provided we would with
draw our state ticket. This, our
committee flatly refused to do, and
they fully represented the wishes of
the People’s party when they did it,
as has been proven by some eigh
teen or twenty counties and at least
three congressional districts having
i officially endorsed their action. We
j as Populists of Tennessee positively
retuse to vote eight times for Saw
all to four times tor Watson.
We have a full Bryan and
j Watson electoral ticket now in the
I field. True Populists will not turn
their bajks upon their principles aud
again trust tue pro.mses of men who
have so often deceived them.
We will stick to our principles and
ticket though the heaveus fall. We
highly con-mend you in the patriotic
1 course you have taken in this oam
i paign and entreat you to pursue it to
I the end. We greatly deplore the
■ fact that our party principles have
been so debased and traded off iu
other states by designing politicians
'who are in it only for office sake.
Yours for the cause,
Sam Hudson.

Editor Silver Knight Watchman,
Washington, D. 0.

creed and once labored for the suc
cess of your paper but since you
have turned traitor to the cause
which you once seemed to advocate [
PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER, ATLANTA, GA., OCTOBER 30, 1896.
so ardently, I am ashamed that I
ever asked a single man to subscribe
for the Silver Knight Watchman. I
hoped you would stop my paper
when the time expired, but you con
tinue to send the infamous thing to
me and I assume this privilege of
ordering you to stop my part of that
corrupt organ you call the Silver
Knight Watchman, wnich doesn’t
deserve the patronage of true reform
ers and not even the name it bears,
only one thing it does deserve, and
that is tho condemnation of al), even
to Sewall and his gang, because of
your treachery. I want you to dis
tinctly understand that we are Wat
son folks down here and when any
one attacks him as you did in your
issue of October, 8, 1896, under the
heading of “Opposition to Fusion is
Opposition to Bryan,” our Southern
blood boils with righteous indignation
Watson is a man of tho people,
Stewart is a thing against the peo
ple; Watson labors for the success of
right, Stewart yearns for the triumph
of wrong; Wat ton is glad to help
his people, Stewart shirks their cause;
"Watson is a hero, Stewart is a traitor;
Watson is a Washington, Stewart is
an Arnold. We love Tom Watson,
we revere him, but for Senator Win.
M. Stewart we have nothing but con
tempt. Stewart, you accuse Watson
of being a tool for Hanna. Hanna
like you a great deal better than he
does Watson. To vote for Watson
is to vote against Hanna’s McKinley;
to vote for Sewall is to vote for Han
na’s McKinley. Bryan and Watson
could be elected if there were no
Sewall. If Watson should withdraw
from the race the People’s party as
a National party would die, while if
Sewall would withdraw, instead of
killing the Democratic party it would
carry the silver banner to victory,
and the gold standard cause would
go down in defeat. Watson can
carry bis home, he can carry hie
town, he can carry his county, he
can carry bis state and that is why
Hanna likes you better than he does
Tom Watson.
That thing from Maine they call
Sewal’, will elect McKinley. Many
Populists will vote for McKinley in
order to defeat that Democratic ma
chination which promise! to take
Sewalldown and substitute Watson
J'.i-J which has failed to oo it. To
slander Watson is to boom McKinley
and when you, like a fool, sling your
mud down South at our gallant Tom
Watson, you sling it at Southern
pride and nobility, you insult the
manhood of our imperial country of
industry and dignity, and at the
same time you are cleaning the shoes
of the standard bearer of the despis
ed gold standard, more than that
you bow in hearty approbation of
j the threats of the nefarious lunatics
! of Brooklyn and Los Angeles upon
the lite of Mr. Watson. Stewart.
I you are one of the sinners of 187:;
You claim that you didn’t know what
i you were doing then. Do you kno w
| what you are doing now? Yen
seem to be impissioned about some
i thing until you are totally unconcious
j of what you once pretended to be.
you -would have been a pretty thing
m the Revolutionary war. We had
heroes in the Revolution that said:
* I am no' worth much, but such
is I am the King of England is not
able to bury.” That is the kind of
i patriot! m that lifted England’s yoke
from America's neck. Now, in
in limes of peace you allow your own
pecuniary interests to buy you from
the cause of the people of whom you
claim to be one, and have the impu
dence to slander the noblest son of
j the South. No denunciation is too
! severe for you and if every reformer
iu America should rise and denounce
you as a scoundrel and a traitor, you
should thank them for giving ycu
I what you have merited.

Mecca, Ind, Oct, 21, 1896.
Hon. Thas. E. Watson, Thomson
Tra.t
Dear Sir.—Under the present oir
cumstanoss I feel it my duty to thus
address you, showing my kindest re
gards for your manly fight for the
People’s Party, and it is needless to
say that your work has been appre
ciated by all true Populists of which
I claim to be one.
There has been one cf the greatest
conspiracies ever enactel against
any Political Party that was ever
created, now in progress against the
People’s party and yourself.
From the beginning of the cam
paign until the present time there
has been for sale Bryan and Sewall
capsfor boys,but noßryan and Watson
caps. There are all kinds of Bryan
and Sewall campaign buttons and
badges, but no Bryan and Watson
badges. I presume this is not the
case in the South, or at least hope
so, but it is the case in Indiana.
What does this signify? simply that
Sewall is to be implored and Watson
ignored by the Democrats. It is
enough to make an honest man’s
blood run cold. We as Populists
(and I speak for the majority) are
in sympathy for you and the cause
which you represent.
In this sta e ten of the fifteen
electors are Bryan and Sewall and
five are Bryan and Watson electors,
and had the gall to ask the Populists
to withdraw the State ticket, which
however (for a wonder) they did not
do, and now Chas. X. Mathews,
former editor of the Nonconformist,
the only true newspaper patriot in
this state has been deposed because
be was talking for the People, he
was not begging for Sewall and he
had to come off by order of the
Democratic committee. The question
was hurled at the committee of this
state by gold Democrats, if you take
oh any more Populism, we will for
sake you. I would like to have
been on that committee, I should
have said go depart from me thou
workers of iniquity, let the Devil
take you and your infirmities, we
want nothing but honest votes for
honest motives, if we cannot gain a
victory without resorting to dishon
est means we are not worthy to be
calleiS-
Through the action of the state
committee by no; giving an equal
division of electors will cause many
to vote for McKinley, others will
vote for the Bryan and Watson elec
tors. Thus in one instance Bryan
will receive only one third of the
electors, and in the other instance
will cause a diiest vote against him.
If Bryan is defeated the responsibili
ty rests upon Jas. K. Jones, and no
one else, he has had it in his power
to withdraw Sewall, and if he was a
I patriot and had the cause of the
people at heart instead of the Demo-
I eratio party, Sewall’s name wonld
: have been withdrawn at St. Louie
and perfect harmony would have
prevailed in a short time, but as it is
the result is feared by many good,
honest thinking men.
I have written more than I intend
i ed. If you can use this letter to any
purpose for tne advancements of the
Peoples cause, you are at liberty to
do so.
It has been and will be our ob
ject to sea a perfect union of South,
North and West, all the labor class
arrayed with one object in view and
that is justice.
Hoping that sometime ycu wi’l
be rewarded and honored as a true
patriot by the people that have
sought to dishonor the peoples cause
I remain, Your sincere friend,
W. S. Fulwider.
To Vote for Sewall is a Sacrifice
of Principle.

Hou. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga
My Dear Sir -For the past six
j ears I have contended for the pure
' principles of Populism. I have read
your paper most of the time, taken
the stump and carried my county and
adjoining ones for Populist prin-
I cipks.
I have admired your career and
endorsed your portion. Myself and
many otheis are rtaiy to follow you
to victory, believ ng you will yet be
needed to guide the affairs of this
nation. We honor you for “holding
the Kort” till the last vote is cast and
i regret excedumgly that we in Vir
ginia are deprived of the pleasure
and privilege cf voting for you.
You ara aware that no ticket has
been officially entered here. Though
I was in the State meeting thatnom
l inated" electors, yet in the failure to
I make a co-oporative ticket they made
none at all. Now, Ido Hot wish to
endorse Sewall.
What is your wish in regard to
the Populist vote in a position like
ours? What ought to be done?
Bryan and silver protesting against
Sewall, or not vote at all.
Please give . your candid opinion
as to what is best, and oblige,
Respectfully yours,

P. S. Don’t forget hundreds and
thousands of people are with you
and your principles ready to follow I
and uphold you. C. N. S.
Fusion Ruled Watson Out.
Editor People’s Party Paper:
Please allow me a small space in
your paper to ask a few questions-
What is Watson’s chance with Sewa’J
on the ticket? If they give Sewall
the most electors, why not give it to
him at once? lam for Watson first,
last and all the time, but I want him
to have some chance so that my work
will not be thrown away. If they
don’t give him some chance I am not
going to vote for Bryan. With me
it is no Tommy no Billy, I don’t in
tend to vote a Democratic ticket
under any circumstance unless we
have some showing. It will be hard
to do anything for Watson down here
if it amounts to nothing. I wish he
would send me a list of ths fusion
States. What does he think of it—
the Democratic party wants every
thing for nothing but it won’t get it
about here. I will do all I can for
Watson. J. R. Darby.

He requests his friends to correct
the statement that he has withdrawn.
Money as a measure of value and
a legal tender in the payment of
debts is a creation of law. It may
be of gold, silver, copper, paper or
any other substance but of whatever
substance made, its value as a circu
lating medium and a legal tender in
payment of debts is derived from the
laws of a man and not from the laws
of nature. The Supreme Court of
the United States has denied that
Congress has power to make money
out of paper, and make that paper aa
legal tender in payment of debts.
The grant of power to Congress not
only includes the power to “coin
money,” but also to “regulate the
value thereof.” The present stand
ard silver dollar is a legal tender in
payment of debts for one hundred
cents on ths dollar, and yet until the
recent rise in silver bullion in con
tamed less than ninety cents’ worth
of silver. The material of which a
one thousand dollar legal tender
note in composed is not as valuable
as an ounce of catton or an ear of
corn. It derives its value frem the
law, which makes it a legal tender in
payment of debts for the amount ex
pressed on its face. Gold and silver
in bullion or in spoon l , plates, or
ornaments, is not money. In all
these shapes gold and silver are mere
commodities to be bought and sold
in the market like cotton or any
other commodity. It must be coined
by tho government, and its valqe fix
ed and stamped u ion it by law, be
fore it bee nies money. Henry Clay

'They Bury Their Sick.
There is a ghastly horror in the
mere mention of the fact that a hu
man being has been buriei alive, and
yet, shocking as it is, there is a tribe
on cna of the Phillippine islands
known as the Ahetaj who have the
cruel custom of b trying the sick be
fore death. Uafortun ate indeed is a
person among the Ahetas who is
afflicted with a serious illness, for he
is almost certain to be cons gned to
the gravs alive. As soon as a high
fever sets in the patient is taken out
of his hut, wrapped in his old clothes
and rudely deposited in a grave.
Bat no sooner has the body been
placed in the grave than it becomes
at ones apparent to his rela’ive», ac
cording to their traditions, that hie
death (which should more properly
be termed murder) must be avenged.
Accordingly, the warriors of the
tribe sally forth with lance and ar
rows to slay the first living creature
they encounter whether it be man,
woman, child, or wild beast. When
thus in quest of an expiatory viotm
they take the precaution of breaking
off young shoots of the shrubs as
they pass by, leaving the broken ends
hanging in the direction they are
going as a warning to travelers and
neighbors to shun that path. Even
should one of their own people be
the first to meet the avengers they
dare not suffer him to escape.
Whether an Aheta is buried alive
or after death his kinsmen at once
assemble and destroy all the goods
and chat 1 els he had accumulated
during his lifetime, even breaking
his gong in pieces. The curse of the
tribe would fall upon any one who
should attempt to make use of any
article left by the buried person.
After the destruction of the property
hss taken place the hut is filled with
fumes of burning dammar or rosin.
The guests sit in the perfumed at
mosphere drinking large drafts of
arrack, and also some kind of spirit
which they manage to distill from
the juice of native fruit. This stim
ulant soon does its work, and they
give vent to their feelings in violent
shouts, mingled with the howls of
the children, wails of the women and
the hoarse discord of the gongs. A
tree is generally planted near the
grave, and at the final ceremony
nine but naked women are allowed
to be present. This last rite is
termed the “Suiah-buang” and sig
nifies that the body is thenceforth
abandoned to the wilderness and
wild beasts.
The Ahetas will worship for a day
the trunk of a distorted tree or a
fragment of a rock which haa any
resemblance to an animal. Then
they turn away from these and think
no more about God or worship until
they again encounter another strange
and fantastical form.
Superstition cuts a large figure in
their lives. In fact, every race of
the Malays, excepting the Orang
Lauts, are governed in the moat
minute affairs of life by s ; gns and
omens. The wonderful phosphorus
that is seen in the sea surrounding
the Philippine islands has a super
natural awe for this tribe.—Cincin
nati Enquirer.
A dairy farmer writes that he has
been noticing that sunshine and
plenty of air in his stables aids a
great deal in giving rich, yellow

The Great Jenny Lind Concert.
Only a few remain who can recall
the marvelous enthusiasm whioh at
tended Jenny Lind’s first appearance
in America, in the old Castle Gar
don,in 1850. When she arrived from
England 50,000 people were at the
dock to greet her. That night 30,-
000 people serenaded her in front of
her hotel. Seats for her concert
sold at fabulous prices. Oa the
night of her first American concert
over 5000 people had gathered in the
Battery before Castle Garden by six
o’clock, although tho concert did not
begin until eight. When the doo.-s
were opened the crush was terrible, -
and within fifteen minutes every
available inch of room, other than
t.ho reserve ! seats, was occopie and
10,000 people were outside unable
to get in. Then every rowboat,
sailboat and steamer which could be
pressed into service was engaged to
lay in the water by the old Gardan
Hall crowded with people who could
only hear the strains of Jenny’s voice
as it floated through the open win
dows. Tho whole acene has now
been repicturyi by Hon. A Oakey
