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 G-EO.J7. 175'Broad Street, Mnsury Hotel Building. '44l§j RATTAN ROCKERS.

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< if encourage- ago ot the old Capitol. I spoke at the 81 The democrats in the and Massa chusetts district talk ol nominating W. Li Douglas, the shoe man. Bald head would probably get there. A man who advertises as much as he dies' generally makes the landing. Commencing next Wednesday, the G., S. & F. Railroad will run through trains from Palatka, Fla. to Atlanta, running over the Atlanta and Florida from a point beyond Macon. This is a new route to Atlanta. The McKinley tariff bill is giving the Worlds fair a black eye. European na tions say it is no use for them to send exhibits as the new tariff virtually bars all foreign goods. Yes,' foreign goods are kept out of the countay in order to enrich a few manufacturers, at the ex pense of the toiling masses. t He isfor Gordon. Mr. H. N; Gardner, the represen tative-elect of Macon county, and who is one of the county’s leading Alliancfemen, is an avowed Gordon supporter and insists that he will serve the Democratic party and that no branch of it will receive his par tiality. He well knows General Gor don is the choice of a great majority of the democrats of the county against any opposition so far declared. 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 certificate being pteserved there yet in the county clerkY office." The price paid was $i,ooo, will be taken down ami occupy a place on a promi nent site at the wotld’s fair. 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: “I. think it vfould be easy to show tbst its OilClotb, WALL PAPER Window Shades Bed Room Suite,X^*£?

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. REPORT OF THE CONDITION The Tliomasville National Bank, 25,000.00 Alliance in August last in the new capitoL 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 (access of the Alliance cause and tbe welfare qt the commonwealth^ I rest in the hope troth will ye; bp revealed,nnd that the source and purpose qt all these misrepresentations 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 ed agati st It an eremy, they have Iff defeat a long tried and loyal friend, fn the elw.V light of a calmer day the honest farmers of Georgia jvfll seo that, such abilities as I possess have been eon-1 secrated to the interest of the formers, to | the defense of troth and to the cause of tnf J.
