The Populist Platform.
From the Nebraska State Journal.
]t's a heap of consolation, this general stag¬
nation, when w© find a fellow mor¬
tal, an official; or a State,

frowns of fate.
HowJt fosters resignation if the tide of im¬
migration Strands our bark upon a

To attribute lack of rations to the banks

shows! .
What we want's a clap of thunder tluit will

But to talk of thrift of labor, that may
to feed my neighbor, but for me, I
must confess, it’s a little bit too dry.
I’m a true-born politician, and it plainly is
my mission, to secure a seat in Con¬

That is why I am engaging in the war the

Hon. Carter Tate.
lion. F. Carter Tate the present
able member and candidate for re
election to Gongress from the
Ninth district, addressed the citi
zens of Toccoa and surrounding
section in, Matheson’s Hall last
Saturday night. Owing to the
limited notice given of the speak¬
ing, and it being on Saturday night,
when the business njen are .busy,
the audience was not so large as it
would otherwise have been.
This was Mr. Tates first time to
speak to these people, and the im¬
pression made on all who heard
him was very fine, in fact the uni¬
versal opinion is, that, his ability
us a statesman has been very much
underrated.
The speech was not what the
world terms a “silver tongued”
oration, but was "something,far bet¬
ter, it was a plain, common sense
statement of facts, well delivered
and easily understood by all.
His speech was devoted.mainly
to the record of the last Congress,
showing that they had been earnest¬
ly laboring for the people and had
succeeded, notwithstanding the op¬
position of the enemies of Democ¬
racy in enacting various legisla¬
tions that saved to the common
people millions of dollars.
Mr. Tate had been present at
every roll call, and had not dodged
a single vote.
He paid his respects to the popu¬
list members of Congress and prov¬
ed by the records that they had
proposed legislation, had it been
passed whicji would cost the United
States more money than there is in
the United States. Another mak
ing an appropriation to “test the ad¬
visability of plowing and hoeing
by electricity.
Another making all lands the
common inheritance of a.H the peo
pie—providing,however,if you had
built you a house on your land and
some other fellow concluded to
take your land, he must pay you
for your house. This was very
condescending in that great states¬
man, but we fail to see why the
house should not be taken for noth¬
ing as well as the land that^you
have paid your money for.
Mr Tate’s visit here made his
friends much stronger for him, and
his majority at this box on the 6th
of November will'be a handsome
one.
The Circus is Coming.
Walter L. Main’s grandest and
best shows on earth will exhibit in
this city on November 5th. Toc¬
coa will have within its limits one
of the largest and best railroad
shows of the present day.
For several days agents of the
Walter L. Main’s Grandest and
Best Shows on Earth have been
with us contracting bill boards, lots,
livery, feed, hotel, etc., and now
everything is in readiness for. the

No other circus in the world has
grown like Mr. Main’s enterprise,

tured out the crowd going to the
show ground, the rush for seats,
etc. It was the two grandest and
biggest days in the circus annals of
Cleveland, and will long be re¬

Cleveland \ papers said of Mr.
Main’s shows :
It was one of the largest and best
circuses ever in Cleveland.—Lead

The entire show will be in Toc¬

Excursion rates will be given on all
railroads, and this will be made a
gala day.
The Senatorial Race. J *
The Senatorial race seems to lie
an uncertain quantity just now..
There are four arrowed candidates
with their friends “soft soaping”
the members of the State Senate
and Legislature, each one claiming
that he will most surely draw the
lucky number. Major Bacon and
his friend are more sanguine than
the others, claiming that if the Ma¬
jor does not get elected on the first
ballot, he will “most.” Congress¬
man Turner and his friends say if
they have’n’t got as much grea.se in
them as “Bacon,” they have near¬
ly so. \
Garrard and His friends say “us

Walsh and his friends are so mod

their wonderful new train now
running from New Orleans to the
Pacific Coast, and which is said to
be the finest, fastest and most lux¬
uriously appointed train ever con¬
structed. The train consists of a
composite car/in which is embrac¬
ed a barber shop, bath room, li¬
brary, ©afe and smoking parlor, a
dining car, in which meals are
served at all hours, day or night,
passengers- paying only for what
they order ; also, a full complement
of Pullman’s latest and most mag¬
nificent drawing-room sleeping
cars. The speed of this railway
wonder, covering the vast distance
between New Orleans and Lps
Angeles in 60 hours, and to San
Francisco in 77 hours, has never
been attempted or equalled. Con¬
trary to the usual practice of other
great railway lines, no expense
will be incurred other than the cus*
tomary first-class ticket and sleep¬
ing-car fare for traveling on this
superb train.
“Now westward Sol has sent
the richest beams of*noon's high
glory.”
And much of civilized America
is following rapidly in his train,
seeking homes, wealth and health
in California.
The great Sunset Route, South¬
ern Pacific, is now the favorite one
with those familiar with the differ¬
ent lines of Western travel; and its

the traveling public has shown

Tourist sleeping-car facilities in the
past, and which will be continued
from Cincinnati, Chicago and
New Orleans, h^ve determined to
outdo the. most splendid railway
achievements, and to provide their
patrons with a combination of
luxury and comfort hitherto un¬
equalled. To this end the mag¬
nificent train, “Sunset Limited,”
taking its name from the solar lu¬
minary, whose path across valley
and plain and over hill and moun¬
tain it follows "with the speed of
the w ind, has been put on between
New Orleans, Los Angeles and
San Francisco. Leaving both
terminals every Thursday during
the season of 1894-95, passing
through the balmiest regions in all
America, delightful even in Jan¬
uary, “fleeing city” covers gulf to
coast in a trifle over two days.
Every comfort of home is found in
the luxurious vestibuled coaches—
dining, sleeping and composite—
which comprise “Sunset Limited,”
and the scenery along this line is
unsurpassed. Few further particu¬

A Happy flarriage.
Col. A. H. McAllister with his
bride, to whom he was married in
Dalton Ga., October 4th, arrived
in Toccoa Tuesday last from an ex¬
tended and pleasant bridal tour
through Kentucky, Indiana, and
other states.
The bridal party consist of Mr.
and Mrs. McAllister, Mrs. B. F.
Frazier and children, and a little
son of Mrs. McAllister. They
will remain in the city with rela¬
tives ten days before going to Dal¬
ton, and as soon as satisfactory
business arrangement can be con¬
summated, will return here and
make Toccoa their permanent home..
Mrs. McAllister was a Mrs. Tay¬
lor, the very efficient and popular
postmistress of Dalton, Ga.,
where she has many friends that
will regret her removal from that
city to this. Col. McAllister is a
leading and has popular citizen of this
city who hosts of friends that
congratulate him on his happy
union, and will be glad to know
that Toccoa is still to be his home.

EDITORIAL NOTES
^ Keep your eye on the “Pops.”
It is rumored that they will repeat
their tactics of circulating bogus
circulars perporting to comer from
democratic headquarters on the eve
of election.
Be prepared on short notice to
.smash the life out of all unfair
means resorted to, by the “high
moral” party’on the eve of elec¬
tion, to secure the vote of the un¬
suspecting for their candidates.
When J. Newton Twitty goes
above the river he tells the people
that he will come up to the river
with 2,000 majority. And when
J. Newton Twittv goes below the
river he tells, the people that he
will come down to the river with
2,000 majority.
We suppose J, Newton means
the river he used to think the Capi¬
tol was located on, and is it not
very probable that J. Newton is as
badly “off” on his majorities as he
was about the location of the Capi¬
tol. The sixth of November will
tell “ah, J. Newtie.”

Hon. Carter Tate has been tried
and found to be the friend of the
common people. Therefore Mr.
Tate will be elected on the 6th of
November, and Newt left at home
Hon. Carter Tate favors an ex¬
pansion of the currency and all
other practical legislation looking
to the interest of the common peo¬
ple, as his record in Congress will
show, consequently he will be re¬
turned to Congress on the 6th of
November by a handsome majority.
Hon. Carter Tate is the servant
of the people. He staid at his post
during the two years of his mem¬
bership in Cpjngrcss, not missing a
roll call or dodging a vote.
Such a record is a rare thing,
and w'ill be endorsed by the people
on the 6th of November.
Col. W. B. Thomas, who for a
number of years operated the Blue
Ridge & Atlantic railroad, from
Cornelia to Tallulah Falls, has
been appointed eceiver of the At¬
lanta & Florida railroad.
When J. Newton Twitty makes
the statement above the river that
he will come to that stream with
2,000 majority, he does it presum¬
ing that the “Pops” of Jackson
(his home county) will be able to
vote 10,000 by the process of re¬
peating, importing and other ille¬
gal means practiced so successfully
in the late State election.
Jackson, the home county of J.
Newt. Twitty, voted iri the state
election 700 more votes than there
is poll tax payers in the county.
Thereupon J. Newton Gushed to
the mountain counties and yelled
i t I’m coming to the branch with
2,000 majority.”

vertiser, trieXto be funny again and
remarks that “we may conclude to
advertise The Toccoa Times if
wq are sure they have at last loca¬
ted.” We have moved once and
have never suspended. The head
of the editor of the Advertiser still
remains soft. The Advertiser
can’t advertise anybody or any¬
thing, as is conclusively proven by
Clarkesville merchants standing
aloof and not giving that penny
sheet but one single advertisement
and it is so small it can scarcely be
seen. When you have anything to
say, thumb-paper, and can say it
intelligently, we will be all atten¬
