■ THE ATHENS BANNER i’OSSDAT MORNING AUGUST *, *«» GANTT IS BATTLING FOR THE SUCCESS OF ALLIANCE DEMOCRACY. IN SOUTH CAROLINA. He Denies the Report About Hie Run ning the Third Party Campaign in C’arke—He Advises His Friends to Stand Behind the Battle* ments of Organ'zed De mocracy, Columbia, S. C, August 4. Editor ^Banner: My attention ha* just been called to & telegram from you> city, in the Atlanta Constitution, it which it is stab d that 1 was running, the Third party in Clarke county, etc As to the falsity of this statement* I re fer any one interested to Mr. Geo. P Bright well. A card I have just mailed the Constitution recites the purpoit o' the letter referred to. Since the action of the People’s part; convention in yonr state, I have taken no hand whatever in Georgia politics, and don’t intend to. Until that event I urged [alliancemen to stick to th< Democratic party, and angered man; of my former friends by such advice. 1 did not see then, and do not see now what our farmers can possibly hope t< gain by getting the white vote in tb South, and leaving the settlement of their political differences to the negrt which will certainly be the result whei our farmer uemoorata divide. And again, it iB the poor white ma* who should most dread a restoration r>< the negro to political power—the ver) class that constitutes the rank and fit of the People’s party. A rich man h ■ no fear of coming into competition wit the negro; but when you moke him tli political equal of the poor white fsrmei you will lower the supremacy of th< latter, for political power carries witl it a certain respectability and infiuenc I stand today in Columbia, S. C., ja where I stood three years ago Athens, while editor of th Banner—an alliance-democrat.

Three years ago, such a paper, run at an expense of about $2W a day, as is the Columbia Register, could not have lived. And yet in six months’ time we have added five-fold to our weekly list, and doubled ou daily subscription. We are carryirgout ia South Caro lina the same policy that I tried to get the alliance to adopt in Georgia— t fight for their demands from behind the ramparts of organized democracy, and under the Ocala banner. Ab a re sult, South Carolina is the only state ii our Union that has made the alliance platform the democratic platform. We will nominate and elect an alliance govei nor, an alliance legislature, and seveu congressmen pledged to battle for the Ocala demands. What more can onr farmers ask or desire? But m Geoorgia, my alliance breth ren saw proper to differ with my views, and determined on independent politi cal action. I would not oppose them, and could not go w ith them, so I left the state, and refused to put a single Stumbling-block in their way. ; These alliancemen voluntarily turn ed the machinery of government oyer to a faction of the democratic party that repudiated their demands, and decided to battle for their princi ples outride of the old party lines had several offers to write for Demo cratic papers in your State, but declined to do so, as it was out of my present territory, and, besides, I could not con sistently opp'se men who were fighting for the doctrine that I myself had t iught them. I do not mean Thiid partyism, but the declarations of the farmer’s alliance. They are working in Georgia, in the People’s party for tbe same ends that I am trying to achieve in South Carolina in tbe Democratic party. The November elections will show which course is tbe wisest. I did not espouse the cause of the al liance for either effloe or reward. It has been the desire of my life to elevate the condition of our agricultural classes, and lift the burthen Lorn their back; and did I believe that this could soones be secured by uniting with the People’s party, I would today be in Georgia bat tling with its adherents. These so-called Third party men are as patrotio and honest in their in tentions as are we Democrats. They have despaired of securing relief through the old party, and are driven to the position that they have taken through desperation. You can never convert them by abase of their platform or their leaders. Col. W. L. Peek lean honest and pure man, and so is Dr Robins, of Greene. I know both gen tlemen intimately, * and they are my personal frien Is. You must bring them back Into the democratic fold with argument and rea son, and nominate for office candidates in whom these farmers can rely. I have warm friends on both sides in your state, and again I am now engaged in fighting for alliance-democracy in outh Carolina. 1 have no donbt bat that my efforts here will be crowned with sneoess; and let me here say, that if the Georgia press will do as good work in my old state for their party as tbe Columbia B-gister will do in South Carolina, you need have no fear of the T ie third party is unknown for the president of our state : is a’s) chairman of the state ive committee. peop’e of Athens, do me tbe fairness to One lot White Cambric Tuckings, worth 15 cents, to go at 2 cts a yard. of Loom B! eaching, “ 5c a yard a good 8c Bleaching; “ 5 cents a yard a 36 inch unbleach ed.
