The excellent open letter of Senator
Gordon to the people of Georgia, which
published some weeks ago, was made
the basis of editorial* by Editor Thomas
E. Watson cf the People’s party paper,
which in large measure filled two ii sues
f the Third party organ.
The attack on Senator Gordon’s letter
was tut of specious and illogical reason

was admitted by tbe last Congress with

The n< g-o in the wood-pile in

they could thereby secure United States

There is no likelihood of tbe Senate

The Liberty of the Citizen,
At’anta Constitution.
Tbe Chicago Tribune loses its head
over the passage of tbe Hatch bill in the
hoase, and condemns it as “one of the
most outrageous attempts ever made in
a iree country to inteifere with the lib
erty of the citizen and the cause of com
merce.”
Our readers know very well that the
Hatch bill does not propose to interfere
with the course! of commerce, but on
the contrary directly serves its interests
by prohibiting the gambling operations
which place commerce in food crops and
cotton upon a fictitious or purely spec
ulative basis.
But the pretense that it interferes
with the liberty cf tbe citizen to -up-
press this species of gambling is r:d
culous in tbe extreme. The Tribune
and other stalwart republican organs
never have a word to say about tbe lib
erty of the citizen unless the northern
negro is involved. They have seen the
advanoe of centralizstionand paternal
ism without a protest. They have seen
the average poor man taxed into pover
ty, and left with scarcely moie liberty
than a serf, without saying a word
bis behalf, but the moment it is pro
posed to check the gamblers of Wall
street these mouthpieces of plutocracy
raise a howl.
We are for the liberty of the citizen,
but liberty must be regulated bylaw,
Liberty to do wrong is the right of no
man, and so long as our government
lends its mighty influence to tbe anp
prpssion of gambling in the South
through tbe medium of the lottery, it is

Mr George T, Mu. rell, ex-president
of the connty Alliance of Clarke, was
called for, and he made in substance the
following speech*
“A man asked me last n ght how I
stood. I told him I stood where I did
two years ago. I ctated then if the Re
publicans and Democrats did’nt quit
wrangling and go to doing more fur the
people, the masses would rise up and
put a stop to it. That day has come,

cy of our government and as long as it
continues we wiil grow poorer. It is
necessary for tbe masses to assert their
rights, and they will win. I am delib
erately a People’s party ma~." At this
juncture Mr. Murrell touched up the
Young Men’s Democratic club, of
Clarke ana in a jocular manner
said be exp cted to see the editor of the
Banner come over to them in six
months. This is like a great many other
things that the Third party expects to
see that will never happen in this world
or the next.
Mr. E. S. Anderson made a few re*
marks, which were out short by the re
