much to elect the candidate of his

principles, and after being forsaken
aud abused by the leaders in his own
party, and humiliated it would saem
beyond forbearance, still stuck to
what be believed to be the path of
duty—and that man is Thos. E.
Watson, the hero of the campaign
of ’96. If every man who proffesses
to be his foilowtr had half the pa
triotism and principle that he has
manifested, the little leaven would
soon leaven the whole lump, and
America would soon be wo at our
forefathers intended it to be—“the

KEV. J. W. BLOSSER.
Dr. Blosser is well known to many
of cur readers, having conducted a
number of revival mooting in this city
and in many of the principal cities
and towns of the Southern and
Western States. In his two-fold
mission he has literally followed the
divifie command to preach the gospel
and heal the sick. He graduated in
medicine in Cincinnati in 1865, and
Client twelve years in general prac
tice, during which time he discovered
and introduced a new remedy for
ratTrh, bronchitis, asthma and other
d teases of the air passages, which
has been remarkably sucacessful in
curing these diseases, in which other
remedies have so signa’ly failed.
In offering this remedy to the pub
lie Dr. Blosser pursues an original
method which at once demonstrates
his confidence in the remedy and
vine the confilence of the afflicted.
He gives to every sufferer who ap
plies to him a sample of the remedy
for trial, absolutely free, and says tc
him: “Try it and see for yourself
and buy 3 supply or not, as you may
wish after trying the sample.”
Ii is evident that unless the remedy
was exactly as it ia re presented to be,
it couid not be sold in this way.
This remedy ia entirely different
from all others and is usad in a very
< mole, practical way. It is a vege
table compound possessing wonder
'd healing properties, which is used
bv smoking by a common pipe, like
tobacco, but it does not contain a
particle of that or any other poison
ous or injurious drug. The smoke,
in going through the air passages,
applies the fresh, warm extract of the
medicine directly to the affected parts
;.n the most remote and inaccessible
cavity aud dudt connected With ths
nasal passage, giving speedy relief,
healing the mucous membrane and
male ng a radical, permanent cure.
It is the only remedy that can be
successfully applied by the patient in
self treatment. N > kind of stuff
douche, ointment or spray oan reach
all the affected localities and, there
fore, all such remedies fail to cure.
Every reader of The People’s
Party Paper who is afflicted with
nasal or post-nasal catarrh, bronchi
tis, asthma, or deafness, is invited tc
call or address Dr. J. W. Blosser &
Son, 12 and 13 Grant Building, At
lan a, Ga., for a free sample of this
remedy which will be sent postpaid,
together with full particulars, testi
monials, etc. The price after the
■sample, is SI for one months’ treat
ment.

g LATE FOX & SHELLING SIOE CO. S
MR.BUTLER TO MR.WATSON
His Reply to the Letter That
Was so Long Lost.
By Southern Associated Press.
Washington, Nov. 15. Senator
Marion Butler, chairman of the Pop
ulist national campaign committee)
teday made public ths following let
ter, which he addressed to Mr. Wat
son two days afier the receipt of his
latter of acceptance:
Washington, D. C., Oct, 26.
Hon. Thomas E. Watson, Thomson,
Ga.
Dear Sir:—Your letter of accept
ance was received Saturday night.
It had been detained in ths postoffioe
for want of sufficient postage.
You, in effect, advise Populists
not to support the joint electoral
tickets that have been arranged in
a number of States. Is it possible
that you fully appreciate the effect
of such advice? At least, upon re
il motion, you must know that if
enough Populists should follow such
advice, it would mean the defeat of
Bryan and the electioa of McKinley.
Besides, if your advice should ba fol
lowed by enough Populists, the
People’s Party would not have a
single elector in the electoral college.
In the states where we have joint
electoral tickets, we will got every
elector that we do get; and, besides,
it i< m those states where we will
gat the bulk, if not all, of the Peo
ple’s Party congressmen. In your
own state, and other states which
have followed your advice against
electoral tickets, we will not get s
single elector, and I fear not many
congressmen, if any.
You certainly cannot mean, how
ever, much you have favored a mid
dis of the road policy in the begin ■
ning, to advice your friends to do
that which at this time would be the
most effective agency in placing in
po yer McKinley aud his backers—
the trusts and monopolies.
Can any personal or party injus
tice, however great, justify ua in be
ing responsible, either directly cr
indirectly, for placing in power the
stock jobbers, monopolists, trusts,the
Brit’sh gold ring and all of the com.
bined robbers of the people and
enemies of good government?
In the name of outraged and suf
fering humanity, whose prayers to
day go up from millions of homes
for William J. Bryan, in his heroic
and marvelous struggle against the
minions of corporate greed and the
hellish gold conspiracy, let us sink
every other consideration and hold
up our hands and do the full duty
of Americans and patriots. Let us
remember that it is a suffering peo
ple (and a betrayed republic, and not
Democratic politicians, that today
call for our help and demand our
services. Bryan will be elected and
the government redeemed if every
patriot does his duty. Let us do
ours.
Therefore, I beseech you to change
at least that part of your letter which
gives advice which, if followed,
would surely help the' common
enemy.
If you do not, then you, yourself)
must assume the responsibility ol
giving such a document to the pub
lic at this time. Yours truly,
Marion Butler.
PERSONAL MENTION.
Mr. G. S. Meadows, the genial
representative from Johnson county,
paid us a pleasant call last week
He brought with him quite a nic.<
list of subscribers for our paper and.
the cheering news that Populism was
on a boom in Johnson.
OUR COUNTRY COUSINS.
Clark Howell has decided not to
aeorpt a cabinet position. The ten
dency of the times is against office
holding by the Democrats.—Peo
ples Advocate.
The campaign of 1900 has just be
gun. Let every Populist do his full
duty for reform.—Crawfordville Ad
vocate.
Tom Watson will never die; his
words will be quoted by the gener
ations to come, in defense of the com
mon people.—Glascock Banner.
Truth crushed to earth will rise
again.—Covington Star.
This does not apply to the Demo
cratic party, Unde Jim, for when it
was “crushed to earth” very little
truth want down Reform World.
The Dernccratio papers that are
opposing Atkinson for the Senator
ship are speaking of him in a very
uncomplimentary way. Yet in the
State campaign he wsa to those same
fellows a high-toned, honorable gen
lamau, and a man above reproach.
How the itching for public spoils
changes bed fellows. One day its all
sugar, and next day the stalest butter
milk.—Farmers Light.
As aforesaid, the new edition Dem
ocrat, as well as the old, can change
his principles as he changes hia coat.
It was gold f our years ago. It was
silver “16 to 1, or bust” this fall, and
bust it was, and busted it is. Now,
watch them hedge, retrieve, scotch.
There are but two parties in this
nation, the oppressed and the oppree
sor. To which do you belong ?
Choose ye, this day.—Plowboy.
If the millions that are spent in
mining the precious metals to be used
as a meaium of exchange were spent
in improving our public highways)
building school houses and furnishng
them with good teachers humanity
would bo much better off. Fiat
money, paper money costs the gov
ernment practically nothing, and is
the only scientific money, and is pre
ferable to metal money.—Canon Free
Press.
Four years ago when the Demo
crats defeated the Republicans, they
said, “to the victor belong the spoils
and that none but rook-ribbed Demo
crats need apply for office.” Gues s
the thing will be reversed this time
and no rock-ribbed Democrats need
apply, as it is the policy of the Re
publicans to help those who help
them.—B inner- Watchman.
The gravest question today that
confronts American p ?ople is whether
the ballot will ever be able to over
come the banka and trusts. There
are so many knaves and so many
fools in the country the final triumph
of justice is in doubt. “The land is
honey combed with rottenness.”—
Reform World.
As Populists are the only people
in this country who have been
accused of wanting office, we think
there must be seme mistake about the
Legislature being Democratic. It
must be a Populist Legislature,
nn there seems to be after
«u vuiv«. —jiiuDuffie Enterprise.
A few days previous to the recent
national election Major Black and
Mr. Watson met at Louisville, Jef
ferson county. Major Black was
there in the interest of Mr. Fleming,
and Mr. Watson was there in the in
terest of Mr. West. A joint debate
between Messrs. Watson and Black
| was suggested. Mr. Watson signified
i his willingness but Major Black re
• fused. Major is not quite as stupid
I as some believe him to be.—Warren-
I ton clipper.
