So much is being said of the
Force hill that wo publish the fol
lowing resume of it, that it may be
fully understood. It is by no
means an overdrawn picture.
The Lodge Force Bill passed by
tlie Republican House of Repre
sentatives in the Reed Congress,
two years ago, and practically in
dorsed by the Republican party in
its National Convention a t Min
neapolis, is a long, and in places, a
tedious document. It was careful
ly drawn with the purpose of mud
dling the unprofessional reader,
and of beclouding in a sea of cuttle
fish obscurity some of its most
dangerous and revolutionary pro
visions.
But a casual reading reveals it as
an insidious attempt to subvert the
Constitution of the United States
and to substitute government by
Federal returning Boards for free
representative government of and
by the people. Even if its other
provisions were honest — which
they are not—its openly avowed
purpose of taking control of Con
gressional elections out of the
hands and officers chosen by the
people of tlie several States, and
vesting it in judges appointed by
the President, would suffice to
damn its authors to everlasting in
famy as traitors to the American
system of government.
Thc measure is not the outcome
of ignorance or false theories of
government, hut of deliberate ras
cally conspiracy to substitute force
and fraud for free elections; to
abolish real representative govern
ment and to make a narrow and
greedy oligarchy of office-holders
supreme arbitrators of a nation’s
destiny. If the bill had been al
lowed to pass in the Senate, Benja
min Harrison could easily re-elect
himself for President for life, and
the usurpers in Washington could
never he gotten rid of except by
armed revolution.
The hill provides that upon the
petition of only 500 voters out of
the thirty odd thousand voters in
any Congressional district, the
Federal District court for that dis
trict shall assume control of the
Congressional elections therein, to
tho exclusion of all State officers to
whom tho people have been accus
tomed to entrust that duty. It
made, the duty of tho Federal
Judge to appoint two registrars,
t wo inspectors at each polling place,
and for the faithful performance
of their duties they are only re
sponsible to the court.
Irrespective of local laws or
State registration, every citizen in
the precinct must get himself en
tered upon the registration lists of
the court’s registers before he can
vote in the Congressional election.
The trouble and loss of time in
volved would result in the dis
franchisement of thousands of vo
ters in the rural districts, even if
the registrars were invariably
honest men and impartial in the
performance of their duties. The
door of wholesale fraud in the
registration of illegal colonized vo
ters is left wide open by the pecu-

Democrat ever
makes the whole elaborate scheme I
a sham and a fraud. Lodge evi
dently had the ablest assistance of
Dudley and Davenport in fram
ing it.
Ihe voting is to be conducted on
the Australian plan, with a proviso
that illiterate voters may receive
assistance from inspectors in mak
ing up their ballots.
After the polls are closed it be
comes the duty’ of tho registrars
and inspectors at each polling
place to count the ballots and cer
tify to the result, not to any State
officer chosen by the people and
responsible to them, but to the
Clerk of the same Federal District
Court by which said registrars and
inspectors were appointed. And
the Clerk of said court compiles
the returns from all the precincts
of the district and certifies the re
sult to the Clerk of the House of
Representatives at Washington.
The Clerk of tho House is required
to enter upon the roll of members
the name of the candidate in
whose favor the Clerk of the Court
has issued the certificate.
If this were all it would he bad
enough, for it would place the
whole machinery of Congressional
election in the hands of Federal
Judges appointed by r the President
and of the Clerks of the Federal
Courts who act by authority of the
Judge. However lionost and im
partial these officers may be, the
partisan votes of the five Supreme
Court Judges in tne eight by seveu
electoral commission, which count
ed Tilden out and Hayes in, proves
that they are not superior to the
political prejudice of other men,
and that they should be kept aloof
from politics, as the framers of
our government intended they
should be.
But this is not all. The bill pro
vides for surrounding the polls
with as many ruffians and thugs in
the disguise of deputy marshals as
partisan exigencies may require.
The marshal of said court is re
quired to appoint one or more
deputies for each polling place.
Upon the request of the election
officers, or of twenty-five voters,
in any precinct, tlie number of
deputy marshals is to be increased
indefinitely. The exact wording
of the bill is that upon request the
marshal of the court shall “furnish
additional deputies in such num
bers as he, in his discretion, may
deem necessary to preserve order
at and about the polls.”
The country is familiar with the
work of these armed partisan mer
cenaries in intimidating and ob
structing Democratic voters at
Congressional elections in Cincin
nati and other cities of the North.
From experience enough is known
of their methods to make it plain
that they are provided for in this
bill for no other purpose than to
drive away Democratic voters and
protect fraudulent Republican vo
ting.
There is not a line nor a w ord in
tho bill that would confine it to the
South, nor to indicate that it was
framed with a view to he used only
in the South. It is admirably
adapted to help the Republicans in
the holder districts of Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Missouri and other
States in which the resident vote
is against the Republican party,
and in which tlie colonization of
negro voters and other frauds on
the ballot have been practiced arid
protected under the color of the
law. There is not a close or doubt
ful district in tlie United States
that might not be carried by the
party in power under the provis
ions in this Fill.
Such is the scheme of subverting
free elections, North and South,
which the Republican party pledges

An Inlemting Statement With Num
erous Affidavits.
From the Aflanta Constitution.
No better reading has turned up
in this red-hot campaign than is
furnished by a document that has
recently found its way into the
hands of Mr. S. II. Sanders, presi
dent of the Cedartown Democratic
Club.
It has been put in shape for the
public and is becomming public
property all over north Georgia.
It has been hurled out across the
political arena as an implement ot
war, and certainly claims sufficient
recognition as to bo styled “an eye-
opener.”
The document is made up of a
statement over the signature of \V.
J. Brown, to which are attached
many affidavits. Here it is:
THE INTERESTING STATEMENT.
Georgia Haralson County—At a
hotel in Knoxville, Tenn., I heard
the following conversation between
a Major Wilhoit, a rank republican,
and another gentleman, whose
name I did not learn.
Major Wilhoit, as he was called,
said “that they, the republican par
ty, had a man established at Villa
Rica, Ga., employed to burst up the
democracy and that he (Wilhoit)
had paid $800 on this man’s sal
ary.”
Major Wilhoit said further, in the
conversation, “that tho southern
people had been their enemies in
war and that they (the republican
party) were going to make them
serve them in peace.
Of course I was enraged and
felt that I ought to defend my peo
ple, so I interrupted him. I asked
him who the man was that they
had employed to burst up the
democracy in Georgia? Ho replied
“that it was C. C. Post, whom they
had sent to run a newspaper in
Georgia.
1 then asked him how they pro
posed to burst up the democratic
south? He replied: “By educat
ing the people against democratic
principles, by furnishing them with
newspapers, and other literature.”
Here Major Wilhoit stated again
that they had Air. C. C. Post in
Georgia to run a paper in their in
terest and that Mr. Post was the
right man in the right place. He
said “Mr. Post is a good one.”
Mr. Wilhoit then asked me where
I was from. I told him I was
from Georgia and that I was a true
southern man and a staunch demo
crat. I then tried to draw Major
Wilhoit out on the plans of the re
publican party further, hut could
get no more information from him
after ho found out who I was. I
would have certainly used him to
very great advantage, but I had no
idea that the south would he con
fronted by such a scheme, con
cocted by the republican party,
hence I made no record of the con
versation, hut related to Mr. Gus
Nix, of Buchanan, and asked him
to find out who Mr. C. C. Post was
for me.
State of Georgia, Haralson Coun
ty. August 16, 1892.—I do certify,
under oath, that the above circum
stances and conversation between
Mr. Wilhoit and me are true.
W. J. Bkown.
Georgia, Haralson County—I, S.
M. Davenport, ordinary in and for
said county, do hereby certify that
I am personally acquainted with
W. J. Brown and have known him
from his boyhood and consider him
truthful in every respect. Given
under my hand and seal of office
this the 20th day of August, 1892.
S. M. Davenport, (L. S.).
State of Georgia, Polk County—
This is to certify that we, whose
names are here to annexed, know
W. J. Brown, of Haralson county,
personally, that he is an honest up
right, intelligent citizen, that his
moral integrity is untarnished and
that we consider any statement
that he makes worthy of credit:
B. A. Adams, president of Com

ware merchant; R. T. Harrison,
liveryman ; G. G. Leake, merchant;
C. W. Smith, cotton merchant;
Allen Jones, station agent East and

Burbank,druggist; Ivey F. Thomp

Peek** Slavery Bill.
Mr. W. L. Peek, the Third Party
candidate for governor of Georgia,
was in the Senate of Georgia in
1887 and while there made some
records which he would give a
great deal now to blot out. Among
other things he introduced what
has passed to history as Peek’s
Slavery Bill—a hill which would
have virtually re-enslaved every
colored man and enslaved every
white man who does not own and
work his own land.
But the Bill itself as introduced
by the great (?) Third Partyite
speaks for itself. Review it, poor
men of Georgia and say in the
light of intelligence whether you
will support with your free suf
frages such a man for Governor of
your state.
In the Senate of Georgia, on the
7th of July, 1886, Mr. Peek, of the
27th District, introduced the fol
lowing hill:
An act to be entitled an act to
make it unlawful for any person
or persons who receive advances
upon a contract to work the lands
of another in the capacity of ren
ter, cropper, or for standing
wages and failing to comply with
said contract without good and
sufficient cause and to prescribe a
penalty for the same. Section 1.
Be it enacted by the general as
sembly of the state of Georgia,
That from and after the passage of
this act, that any person or persons
who may receive advances upon
contracts to work the lands of
another, either in the capacity of
renter, cropper, or for standing
wages, and shall fail to comply
with the same without good and
sufficient cause, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
thereof shall ho punished as pro
vided in section 4705 of the code
of this state.
Section 2. Be it further enacted,
That either a written or parole con
tract shall he lawful and when a
person or persons enter on the
premises of another, he, she, or
they shall he presumed to ho un
der* contract to the controller of the
premises and the furnishing, of
houses, fuel, clothing, provisions,
stock, guano of money, shall all or
either bo considered as advances
under this act and that no contract
under this act shall be of force
longer than one year.
“Section 3. Be it further enacted,
that any person or persons owning
or controlling land or farms enter
into a contract and make advances
to either cropper, renter or persons
for wages, failing to comply with
their contract without good and
sufficient cause, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor and upon a convic
tion thereof be punished as pre
scribed in section 4705 in the code
of this state.
Section 4. Be it further enacted,
that ail laws find parts of laws in
conflict with this act be repealed.
The author and introducer of
this bill is W. L. Peek, now the
Third party candidate for governor
of Georgia.
It will be seen that in this hill
tho word of the landlord becomes
superior to that of the tenant.
In an indictment of tho tenant
for a breach of contract, the land
lord can testify and the tenant, be
ing a defendant, cannot.
To make the conduct of Mr.
Peek even stronger against the
tenant, it is on record that he voted
against an amendment which
sought to limit this proposed bill
to written contracts only, and yet
Mr. Peck is to-day posing in the
state of Georgia as the great
riend of tenants.
Do not sit down and whine be
cause you have not what you want
in this life, but up and hustle and
get It. Thc world is all before you.
There is as much room in itforyou
as for anybody else, and as good a
place.
Advice lo Boy**
Here is what a writer in the
Southern Star has to say about the
evil effects of throwing the temp
tation to drink liquor in the way of
boys: “If we are to have drunk
ards in the future, some of_ them
are to come from the boys to whom
I am now writing, and I ask you if
you wautfto become one of them ?
No, of course you don’t. Well, I
have a plan that is just as sure to
save from such a fate as the sun is
to rise tomorrow. It never failed ;
it never will fail; and it is worth
knowing. Never touch liquor in
any form. This is the plan and it
is worth putting into practice. I
know you don’t drink so and it
seems to me as if you never would.
But your temptation will come,_
and it will probably come this way
You will find yourself sometimes
with a number of companions and
they will have a bottle of wine on
the table. They will drink and
offer it to you. They will think it
a manly practice, and will very
likely look upon you as a milk sop
if you don’t indulge with them.
Then what will you do ? • Will you
say ‘No, no! none of that stuff for
me!’ Or will you take the glass,
with your common sense protest
ing, and your conscience making
the whole draught bitter, and then
go off with a hot head and skulking
soul that at once begins to mqke
apologies for itspjf, and will keep
doing so all its life ? Boys, do not
become drunkards.”
Bankers and money loaners and
owners of large tracts of land are
the ones who would profit by a 2-
per cent, government loan on real
estate security. They could get
the money at 2 per cent, and loan it
to their poor neighbors at S-per
cent.
PROOF ON WEAVER.
Which Show* llow He Acted in Ten*
nessee in 1S84*
The Pulaski, (Tenn.) Democrat
publishes this following leaf from
J. B. Weaver’s war record:
Gen. Weaver, while in command
at Pulaski, in January, 1864, issued
an order to Charles C. Abernathy,
John H. Newhill, Robert Rhodes
and others that they pay into his
hands $1,000 for the maintenance of
refugees (meaning negroes and
renegades from Alabama). This
order was aecompained by the
threat that if the money was not
paid they and their families would
he sent South and tlieir property
given to said refugees. All of these
parties are dead now, and were
over sixty years oul when that or
der was issued. Can any Southern
man vote for such a heartless
wretch?
A man by the name of C. W. Witt
sold Mr. Jasper Cox, a very poor
man, two thousand pounds of
bacon, for which he received the
cash. Mr. Cox took the bacon to tho
cotton mills in Lawrence county
and traded it for cotton twist. This
lie carefully stored away in the loft
of his little cabin, thinking it would
assist him in purchasing a little
home after the war, as he was very
poor with a large family, and had
no home. Weaver learned through
some source that this gentleman
had the cotton twist, and sent a
detachment of soldiers to his home
and took possession of it, and ship
ped it to Iowa for his own use.
Tlie cotton twist was worth at the
time it was stoled $2,000.
Jasper Cox is Jiving in Giles
county.
John P. Williams, a poor but
highly respected farmer in Giles
county, had twenty-five fat hogs,
which at the time were worth $10
per hundred, gross, and a lot of
turkeys. Weaver, in person, took
a file of soldiers into Williams’
place and made the soldiers shoot
every hog on the place and had
them brought into camp. When
Williams asked for a voucher,
Weaver said: “I don’t give rebels
ill the South vouchers. I would
rather furnish rope to hang every
d—n one of them.” Mr. Williams
is still living and will swear to the
above if necessary.
The hogs were valued at $750.
The turkeys belonged to Mrs.
Williams, and she begged to have
thorn spared, but the heartless
wretch had them all killed and
taken to headquarters for his own
special use, remarking to Mrs.
Williams that she had no business
being the wife of a rebel.
Weaver made it a practice to
charge our citizens 10 cent each for
passes to come into and go out of
the federal lines. This money he
put into his own pockets. This
pass read as follows:
“Peek the bearer through the
federal lines. “J. B. Weaver,
“Commander.”
Within fifteen years Jeems Wea
ver has been a member of five dif
ferent political parties—the Repub
lican, Greenbacks, Democratic, Un
ion Labor and People’s parties. It
will not be two years longer before
he will have disbanded his present
organization and starts on the road
with a brand new aggregation.
Notwithstanding the claims of
the Third party to the contrary the
amount of money in circulation per
captia today is about as large as it
has been at any time since the war.
The trouble with South is that it is
about all concentrated in the sec
tions above named. And the rob
ber tariff is responsible for it. In
crease the circulating medium as
much as you may and leave the
tariff undisturbed and it will not
be long in bringing about just such
a state of affairs financially in the
South as now exists. It will all
find its way to the manufacturing
section where it now is.
In this way the masses will not
be made any better off, while the
millionaires, already made so by
the tariff, will be made billionaires,
and their power to exort from the
consuming classes increased.
