ATHENS BANNER = TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE l«, 1891
DOKTLET US bCDCE IT-
Many . newspapers of the South—
pure, straightecut democratic papers
too—are very rashly neglecting the
main, issue to be waged in the next
Presidential campaign, tariff reform.

While it is true that the free coin*

ought to be a plank in the next dem«

equally true that the masses are
clamoring for other niodifications of

Wr
it remains truer still that tariff re*,
form is the main plank upon which
the platform of ’92 must be based.
It is all very well for the newspapers
of the South to voice their demand
I. I
for freer currency.' It is their duty
to do it, and it will be the duty of
the democratic party to work to tips
end, but we must not forget that a
reformation of the tariff laws is what
the people most need, and what must
be the salvation of the country.
Tariff reform is the hope of the
democracy. Upon that issue alone
the party can march on to victory
when the campaign flag is unfurled
in ’92. We must not forget this in
our zeal for other measures of great-
significance, but not of as much im<
portance to the country at large.
It would be well for the newspapers
to take this to their heart and aot
upon it. To forget it is to forget the
democratic party.
To dodge it is to dodge a solemn

MAX JOSEPH.
LIVINGSTON TALKS-
America, is somewhat entangled in I
this affair, and the newspapers of, I
tb e North are raking him over the
coals most piteously for having what
they call a hand in the fraud.
Speaking of the affair and of John
Wanamaker’s connection with it, the I
rlcaton News and Courier is led
to speak out in defense of the Post-1
master General as follows :
HE ANSWERS IN FULL AND EM
PHATICALLY THE ACCUSA
TIONS. AND GIVES LICKS
THAT ARE SENT WITH
GREAT N FORCE FROM
THE SHOULDER.
HOT WAR IS NOW BREWING.
We do not believe there is any ev
idence upon which to base so out
rageous a charge against the personal
character of the Postmaster General.
We do not admirebis political course.
We have no faith whatever ,n his
political principles, but we do not
think that it can be successfully
charged against him that he is per
sonally dishonest. So tor as we aie
informed, Mr. Wanamaker has al
ways led a correct and strictly honest
private and business life. He has
for many years occupied a very prom
inent position in the mercantile af<
fairs of Philadelphia, has been &c«
lively engaged in the pursuits of
trade, and he has' maintained fais
credit in business circles in spite of
his politics.

An Interview With the Georgia Far
mers Alliance President In
Which He Denies AU the
. Statements In the Alliance
Monthly.
From the Atlanta Journal.
Col. L- F. Livingston, president of
the Georgia State Alliance, was in At
lanta yesterday-
was found
m •> (
f
and certainly feels no inclination to
jump at conclusions and heap abuse
npon Mr. Wanamaker’s head. He
has already had enough abuse heap
ed upon it to make bis pate as bald
as that of the American eagle. But,
we do find cause to suggest to Mr-
Wanamaker that hia character is not
above suspicion, and his guilt, like
that of poor dog tray, consists in
keeping bad company, if it doesn’t
consist in anything else.
Now The Banner knows Mr. Wan
amaker just a trifle more intimately
than the Charleston News and Cour
ier, and The Banner knows that he
has donei, little underhanded deeds
which ought not to become the teach
er of a Sunday school. His dealings
with Athens even in the high ca
pacity of a government officer have
been each as the people of Athens
and all other good people cannot res
concile as dealings of an “whole-
souled Christian gentleman,” to say
the least.
This much can be said justly of
Mr. Wanamaker, he does not come
up to groat Csesar’s measure of in*
tegriiy and honor. Though he may
not be guilty, he is not above sus
picion.
He was found by a Journal representa
tive at the Markham at 1 o’clock in the
afternoon and shown a proof of the ar
ticle from the Georgia Alliance Monthly,
published elsewhere in the Journal thiB
afternoon.
In Colonel Livingston’s room wa3 Dr.
C. W. Mauune, who reached Atlanta
last night on his way to Nashville,
where he is to deliver an Alliance ad
dress in the state bouse to-morrow.
Colonel LiviugBton looked over the
Alliance Monthly’s article on “Man
sion Caucus vs. Capitol Caucus,’’ and
when asked what be thought of it said:
“Well, this whole thing is such a tis
sue of falsehoods that it’s hardly worth
noticing at all. Those fellows have
simply raked up a lot of old charges
which have been discovered long ago,
and which they know to be false and the
public knows to be false.
“As soon as I have time,” said the
Colonel, “I expect to prepare a state
ment that will show these fellows up in
their true light.”
“Now,” went on Col. Livingstont
“they bring up this old charge about
my working to get old man Jackson out
of the presidency in 1888 in order to get
facts?”
“At the time those charges were
made against Jackson I was vice presi
dent of the State Alliance. I was not
at tfie capital caucus, and had nothing
to do with calling it. Moreover, when
I was summoned as a witness at Jack
son’s trial, I refused to have anything
to do with it, as his removal would
have given the office to me. When I
refused to testify against Jackson he
rose and asked if I might be allowed
then to go before the committee and de
fend him. That permission was given,
and I did go before the committee as
Jackson’s friend.
“The facts are on record to prove
that,” added Colonel Livingston, “and
that disposes of one of these Alleged
ay sending Copeland over the
aounce the mansion caucus
chart
“A9 to m;
state to denounce
and its members; I have never sent
Copeland anywhere. The committee
put him in the field as state lecturer,
and 1 have nevdr given him any in
structions regarding myself.
“What. is more. I have never de
nounced or said .■ n ug v wprd about
l'-,r members o* 1 at -citron esnciiri
1 said that it was »rou&, because ic
took the wrong direction. Tie ch urges
should have been preferred before the
executive committee or the State Alli
ance. - . ;.
“I threw the executive committee
open to the men who claimed they had
these charges to make. More than that
I told them that if they weren’t satis
fied to go before the committee, I would
call the state Alliance together, even
though it would be at a cost of $2,000.
Why didn’t they accept that?
“At that time I didn’t know who tb;
delegates to the Alliance would be.
They had just been elected, they were
new men, and I didn’t know whether
they were for or against me.
“Further, the state Alliance meets
now in a few days. Why don’t they
prefer these charges there? I guaran
tee them a fair showing.
“They claim that Copeland would be
the prosecuting officer, and that he is
one of the parties involved. If they ob
ject to Copeland we’ll get another man.
That’s no excuse at all.
“Let me tell you one thing,” said
Colonel Livingston, impressively, “and
Dr. Macune here will tell yon it’s so.
When this mansion caucus matter came
out I was urged to make an organized
effort to have the sub-alliances endorse
me. The resolutions were even pre
pared in blank to be sent
out to the sub-alliances; but
I refuse point blank to permit it. I
have asked nobody, no sub-alliance, to
endorse me, nor have I spent a dollar
for that purpose. The endorsements
that have come from all over the state
have been purely voluntary.
“As to the Southern Alliance Farmer
being my organ, that is false. The pa
per has defended me as the president
of thejalliance and as the Alliance official
organ you will see it could not do other
wise. But there has never been a time
when anybody having charges against
my personal character could not get
access to its columns.
“I was put in as associate editor of
the Alliance Farmer as a compromise.
There was an anti-Harry Brown party
in the convention headed by Felix Cor-
put. When I was proposed ns associate
editor, Corput said that was satisfactory
to him.
“I have never dictated an editorial to
either Brown or Gantt, and , I have
never written to the paper except over
my own signature. My jurisdicti
over the pajper extends only to its poli
on the alliance demands. On other
liner its editors are as free as air.
“Let me say, too, that I have never
said that I was the ’real editor’ of the
Alliance Fanner. How the Mail and
Express got it down that way I don’t
understand.
“These charges about my offenng to
sell out to Quay and my offering to ad
vocate theForce bill have all been proved
to be arrant forgeries. Old John Liv
ingston forged them all. The Journal
and Augusta Chronicle both investiga-
ed the matter and found it a forgery.
. “Those charges about Nellie Burke
at Macon were all submitted to a com
mittee yt six, three chosen by himself
and three by Governor Gordon. They
investigated the whole matter and I
have their report in my valise, now,
completely exonerating me.
“The charge that I worked for the
Forcd bill at Ocala is false. The resolu
tion condemning theForce bill was
passed while I, as many others, was at
work with a committee. Two or three
days later Wardlaw, of South Dakota,
came to me and said that the resolution
would be taken up there as a partisan
measure, and would hurt the Alliance,
and asked me to help him get it recon
sidered. Later a Michigan man came to
me with the same story. I told him I
was against the bill. He asked me to
help him prepare a resolution to recon
sider and I consented to write it at his
dictation. Before it was presented,
however, Hal) made the motion to ta
ble the motion to reconsider, and I
with the whole Georgia delegation vot
ed to table the motion to reconsider.
Then I asked the Michigan delegate
for the resolution I had written at his
dictation and tore it up. That was the
resolution which was fished out of a pit
soon afterwards.’
Dr. Macune, referring to the charges
made by the Alliance Monthly as to his
complicity wiih Sledge in a plot to sell
out to the railroads, said:
“Whoever tells that tells a lie, who
ever he is. That’s All I have tossy.”

just after the lightning’s work.
The room was completely torn np,
plastering all over the floor, a window
entirely gone, and the persons injured,
groaning terribly.
They doubtless suffered intense pain.
The little girl cried incessantly and
seemed to be in great pain.
Quite a number of people visited the

the
bolt
A bolt of lightning descended yester
day afternoon upon a house on Doboy
street and injured four oi the inmates.
One of the injured parties is In a pre
carious condition, having received a
very severe shock.
It was about half past four o’clock
when a bright flash of ligbining leaped
from the black clouds, and came straight
down to the earth.
A sharp crack of the bolt and in a
moment people living in the vicinity
of Baldwin street knew that it had
struck something near by.
The bolt had struck the building on
Doboy street occupied by Messrs. John
Basil and Henry Eidams together with
their families.
Mrs. Basil, Mrs. Eidams
the two little children oi
latter were sitting in
front room of the house when the
of lightning struck it.
It struck the window tearing out all
the panes of glass, and twisting the
sash in two pices; from whence it
struck the ceiling of the room and tore
uffalarge space of plastering, going
out of the chimuey.
It struck all four of the people who
were iu the room, and for the moment
completely paralyzed them.
The lightning struck Mrs. Basil in
the left eye and ran down her face and
body leaving a purple mark along its
path. She was terribly shocked and
for awhile was speechless.
The little girl of Mrs. Eidams, about
two years old was struck by the bolt in
the face and badly burned on the body.
Mrs. E’dams was strnck an the shoul
der au,i painfully burned.
The little baby was
burned s.igLtly on ihe
arm.
Drs. Goss nnd Bl<»o>jfield were sum
moned and r une at <>.ioe to t’.e scene.
They m.ide careful examination of
each of the pets jus injured by the light
ning, an ! came to the conclusion that
only one was icriouriy hurt.
The lit:! > girl was terrible burned,
but the shock vat not very heavy and
she will recov -r.
Mrs Eidams wa* painfully burned qn
the shoulder and the little baby on
the arm, bur neither case is serious.
Mrs. Basil, however* is in a serious
condition, having received a terrible
shock, in addition to being badly burn
ed about <.ho face. The doctors consid
er her esse ns a serious one, but not
necessarily fatal.
Even attention possible is betog
given th • injure I people, and the doc
tors are watching ea< h case carefully.

BOARD OF VISITORS.
Their Session of Yesterday and the
Work Done.
From a reliable source «?e learn that
at a house belonging to Mr. Richard
Nixon, in Jackson county, about 10
miles from Athens, and about 2 miles
from the Jefferson road, on Sunday
last quite a sen sationai scene was en-
3t qi
acted
This house is now used for the pur
pose of a Sunday school under the su
perintendance of Mr. Jabez Hammonds.
A few Sundays ago Messrs Frank
Whitehead and Jack Mathews rode up
and hitched their horses so near the
door as to iuoonvenience ladies
and others in entering the
house.
Mr. Hammonds remonstrated with
these men and requested that they
hiteh their horse farther, so that there
would he no annoyance. The request
was not complied with and the men
seemed ofiended. Last Sunday after
noon Mr. Whitehead again went to the
school-boose and hitched his horse
right at the door. Mr. Hammonds
again requested that the horse be mov
ed, as.ii interfered with persons enter
ing the bouse, stating that if the owner
did not move it that he would have it
done.
Mr. Whitehead then commenced an
attack on Mr. Hammonds with an open
knife. Our informant states that Mr.
Hammonds received four wounds—one
in each arm and two on the back of the
bead While the wounds are pain ul,
they are not considered as being neces
sarily serious. Mr. Whitehead was ar
rested on Thursday by the sheriff of
Jackson county, and up to last accounts
had not given bond. Mr. Hammonds
is improving and it is hoped will re
cover in a few days.
