TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA, IN
AilD.OUT.OF THE ALLIANCE.
Atlabta, (1a, October 1 1*890.'
It ia impossible for me to accept all oflbq
Invitations to . speak extended' tq mo by the
K , and no less impossible to find time
.dies to the wholesale misrepresentn-
itons of mi pollticnl views, and to the un
worthy assault upon my public an- private
character. A short card from me would,
therefore, seem to be justified, although I
cannot believe any ts necessary.
I do not recall lu the history of this State
or of this Union n political campaign of
more unjust or improper methods; but for
this the Alliance itself is in no sense res
ponsible. Neither that brotherhood, nor
any friend, who is working solely for the
interest of the cause, is engaged in this un
worthy business.
Fibst. A persistent effort is made to
convince the 'Alliance that I ant an enemy
of the order nnd nmjjghting it. If there
was one particle of troth in this charge,
tbc prejudice that has been built up against
me woald be just; but the charge is wholly
false, without the shadow of truth in It.
The man docs not live who can truthfully
point to one thought, one sentence or one
word that lias ever fallen from my lips in
all these years that was unfriendly to the
Alliance, or to any ol its fundamental prin,
ciples f def; any man to furnish the cvi.
deuce. I can furnish amount of evidence
demonstrating my effort to bring such a
brotherhood into existence and defense of it
since its organization every where and under
all circumstances.
.Second. A n effort is made to induce the
Alliance to bcliere that I have wilfully and
without provocation assaulted Alliance
leaders. This effort has done me great in-
justice and is wholly untrue. I have al
ways spoken in kindest terms of those who
bare treated mo with any justice or fairness.
I hare as saultcd no man until be had first
nssailcdc. I |was (anxious for penco an I
harmony and co-operation. I confidently,
expected the friendly aid of all in the com
mon cause in which we were all engaged
and to which I had devoted so many year)
of absolutely unselfish service. —
My motives, my nets nnd my words were
so entirely devoted to our agricultural in
terests, and to the identical principles for
which the Alliance is now contending, that
I was amazed when I found myself thus
misrepresented, traduced nnd slandered ab
solutely without excuse. It was then, nnd
then only, that I struck back, and solely,in
self defense.
i'What would any man who prized his
good name and his reputation linre done
under similar clrcimstances? If any hon
orable Alliance man in Georgia who wishes

to know the truth on this point, will write
me in good faith that he desires the facts, I
will give him the absolute proofs of the truth
of this statement.
Third. Another effort is to induce the
Alliance to believe that I am not a friend to
its principles; whereas, the stubborn facts,
which no man can dispute, prove conclu
sively that I have been os consistent and
that I have defended those principles for a
long scries of years, and under circum
stances which make it impossible for any
fair-minded man to doubt my sincerity or
question my motives.
Fourth. Statements constantly appear
in the public journals, to the effict that I
have done nothing to encourage the Alli
ance since its organization; whereas, the
facts are that at the first State Alliance in
this city, I spoke to that body, assembled' spoke at the first State Alliance two y<

Mr. H. N; Gardner, the represen

tiality. He well knows General Gor

Lincoln's Kentucky Cabin.
Nashville, Tenn., Oct; so A
special to the.Americau from Danville,
Ky., says: A committee from Chica
go, in the interest of the world’* fair,
visited Washington county, near here,
this week, and bought of Henry Reed
the log cabin in which Abraham Lin
coln lived as a boy and where his fath
er was married to Nancy Hanks, a

la the old capitol, in-words or encourage
ment; and also at Cedartowo, and at the
Macon lair, and repeatedly elsewhere—al
ways urging the Alliance forward, and
congratulating the country on lta progress,
nnd seeking to Inspire It with hope, and to
encourage concord and unity lirlti ranks.
Virtu. Similar efforts are persiatently
made to indneo the AlUanco to believe that
have auddently changed my attitude to
ward) the brotherhood; whereas, my pub
lished utterances in all my speeches delivered
In this campaign have been on rtccliely the
same Use—warning the brotherhood against
the policy of driving from its support any
friends whose aid we cpnld command. I have
everywhere urged that to insist upon any
specific measure of relief would divide the
brotherhood, as it has done in other Suites
—and that such divisions would decrease its
chancePof final success.
Sixth. I am charged with Using respon
sible for dissensions in the Democratic
party; whereas, tbc (acts show that my
moBt earnest appeals bare been for Demo
cratic unity, and that I have remonstrated
ngain9t test which produce these divisions,
and which arc unknown to iho Democratic
platform. This charge will appear more
unjust still, when it is known that I have
crcrywhcro declared not only my purpose
to support the nominees, but with my own
band have written to my personal friends,
in different counties, urging harmony even
to my own hurt—sfafjpg that 1 preferred to
lose the votes of the members father than
o the Demoeratic party dividi
SiyiHTji. 1 am charged with being the
agent of the money power; whereas, tbs
facta are that ia aft my utterances I have
strenuously urged unity and concerted action
lor the purpose of meeting and defeating
this money power. I bare been constantly
heading for unity, because the battle to be
'ought by the people against the combined
powers of protected privileges, and ofconccn-
(rated money, and of gigantic monopolies
was the most stupendous conflict that ever
occurred (n (ho history of this republic. I
urged unity, because (bis great battle cec
not and will not be won, except by a poll
which will unite all tbc friends of reform
every State and every section. These utter
ances of mine ere all on record in every
speech on these i objects made years ago,
and in every speech made in the last few
years or few months, and I defy my assail
ants to produce n single expression ot mine
to the contrary. «
I repeat that whether in office, or aaa can
didate for office, my efforts have been persis
tent and ear neat for the organization of inch
a brotherhood as the Alliance, and ibr every
principle ot the Alliance, and for the unity
and harmony and concord of the Alliance.
What possible motive could I have for all
thii labor in your cause for all these years,
except to aid in bringing the Farmers to
gether in a great brotherhood, ao as to en
able them to successfully resist this enor
mous power of concentrated money?
As Tor back as 1674, in speaking of the de
mand that wonld be made by the people. I
usod these words: r *
< The day ia not remote when concentrat
ed money will dictate the profit! on every
industry andenterprise of this country; will
bold in itsband the material interests, if not
the private right! and personal liberties, of
tha citizen."
Again in the Senate, in speakirg of the
rigid contracted atatcof the currency, I used
these words:

' ‘ th ‘
control by heavy capitalists, and thereby
place at the mercy of Wail street the profits
od the legitimate industries of the country."
Again iu the Senate, in speaking of the
agricultural classes, and contending for tbeir
rights, I used these words;
j “Their power will be appreciated by the
people, and they will yet demand that the
cuircncy upon which the reward) of their
toil depend shall be taken from the csntibl
of Wall street and the monopolists. They
will override the power which the money
changers can command and rebuke .the lob
byists of the gold rings which beleaguer
this capital."
From that day to this I hare been urging
the Farmeri to organize against this great
power of concentrated money, and warning
the m to avoid every minor issi
divide them. j
I so spoke in LaGrange at the Stato Agri
cultural Convention, where probably four-
fifths were Alliancemen, which Convention
unanimously endorsed me for the Senate.

I so spoke of the great danger from the
loney power and corporate monopolies in
utonton and everywhere else wherever my
roleo has been heard. Yet these enemies of
mine persist in charging mo with being an
enemy of the AUlanco and tha agent of the
money power.
, Will the people of Georgia indono such
unworthy efforts?
But tbsso enemies are unable to meet
these overwhelming facts in my record.
That record ia without variableness or shad
ow of turning—a stsady, uniform, defence of
the Alliance and its prinblples. Failing in
their effort to deceive honest Alliancemen aa
to my defence and snpport of the Alliance
cause, these enemies have suddenly changed
along the' whole liny, and are now engaged
In an unworthy effort 'to Ijlqckcn my repute-
tation and to deprive me ot the confidence of
the people among whom I have lived for
more tfcap half a century. They bare mis
represented me in t)je most excuseless man
ner, niy attitudo on there great issues for
which 1 have labored so long and earnestly.
They have assailed my official honor and
my integrity u a man.
Thty nave paraded before the public my
P rivate businere affairs, and by tbe most un-
ilrand malicious misstatements they have
'subjected these private matters to the one
sided and virnient criticisms of anonymous
writers aod editorial comments.
I shall make no reply whatever to these
shameful attacks upon my reputation; but I
shall girp sjjch time as 1 can take from pub
lic duties, to thediicnsrion before the people
of the gyest issues inwflcb are Involved tbe

troth will ye; bp revealed,nnd that the source

and that the real combination which boa
Inspired them will yet'be uncovered.
When tire PJtWless passion which has
been aroused against me jus passed away,
the great wrong which been dope mjs will
plainly appear, and so certain as truth shall
at last be vindicated. Just so surely will the
Alliance of Georgia nod that instead of he
