INTRODUCTION
The urgent needs of the Peoples Party
in this county and those contiguous <le
tnnnd the pnblication of a paper to
seminate the aims and principles of the
Populist theory of government and im
part tone and character to the party as a
jKibtiral organisation, All reforms have
an hour of birth and the vitality of the
principles underlying all movements
must be kept alive by tho wholesome
jewel of truth presented in attractive
dress. Other reasons demand a party
pnpor to defend and resent the efforts ot
onr democratic friends to put us in a
very “small stream” with very “small
fish.” Some would liavo Us it would
♦teem behind the iron bar of an asylum,
or* at least among the “harmless luna
tics” of a poor farm, but a better fate we
trust awaits n the fate of an honest
|mrpoHC and a late to do the right as we
K(s* it fearlessly, but respectfully. We
Keek to do no harm and would infract no
law of right, governing even the unfledg¬
ed worm. The Peoples Party comes in
part from the blood and brawn of tlie
old democracy (good block) with every
fibre and pulse boat sincere and true for
the good of all. That the rank and fill'
of tin* Populist party is poor is a fact,
but that is no just reason why it is
“dangerous’ and should bo made
“odious.” Something is going wrong
and a remedy is needed. If democracy
fails to cure, as it lavs, try Mmwthmg
else—and keep on trying until a cure is
tnado.
ON A VISIT TO CUTHBERT.
Mr. and Mrs. A. II. McCoy, of Keo¬
kuk, la., have come south to get tlx*
benefit of out delightful climate. Mr.
McCoy for n few years 1ms been troubled
with periodical attack* of bay fever and
tho change of ebonites be thinks w ill re¬
lieve him of tho disease altogether. Mr.
McCoy for tho prescut will not close out
his interest in the west, preferring to
test this climate thoroughly before mak¬
ing a permanent change. While in the
ittmUi however, he will in a limited way
manufacture cider and vinegar, being
familiar with all of the improved meth¬
ods and secrets of putting up tho very
best qualities of these goods. In addi¬
tion to the above Mf. MeAoy may or
may not add other lines; sueli as flavor¬
ing extracts, fruit juices, toilet articles,
otc. Pickling will likely be another
feature of his business if cucumbers can
1 k> grown v this climate cheaply. Wo
extend a hearty welcome to Mr and
Mrs. McCoy,* and " ill assure them that
their democracy will suffer no violence
At tho hands of the Populists in this
section. We have the climate and soil,
and many natural and ready made ad¬
vantages To entice good people this way
and we will uwiro II.CM Hint their relig
ions aud political creeds will make no
difference with us. They caujpruy and
vote as they please and no sensible man
will turn his eyes askance or challenge
their right to do as tln ir wishes lead
them. Wo have no place for anarchists
aud socialists. Thcv will find it hot
hereabouts if they come. We are of the
opinion that Mr. McCoy will locate in
Cnthbert, and if ho does we bespeak for
him kindly treatment. His enterprises
may add much to the community when
once under way.
HON- H. C. NEWTON,
lion. II. f*. Newton, tlu> nominee of the
Peoples' party for the legislature from this
ec >unt j*. came lien* about two years ago and
bought land and went to work. He has
made good crops and is succeeding fairly
well considering the hard times.
Mr. Newton from early youth enjoyed ed¬
ucational advantages which he lias put to
good practical use. He is a strong writer
upon general subjects and as a speaker, is
winning the admiration of his friends and
the tespect of his opponents. Having truth
on his side it does seem that bis appeals to
to tb“e reason of m**n would prevail.
^^Tis handsome competitor. Mr. Martin, is
a capital gentleman, but for whom does he
propose to vote for the United States Senate
if elected to the legislature f A goldbug or
ft free coinage man. This is the all impor
taut question, my fellow citizens. Unless
silver as a money nutftl is restored to its
true position as money and free coinage
legislations prevails (and it must <-*oine
quick! harder times still will follow and the
bottom will drop out sure enough.
BIG MEN.
It is a pleasure to know that Cnthbert hws
within her borders some first-class citizens
who cau differ politically with a neighbor,
au<l at the same time be on terms of amity
and respect with that neighbor. It takes
the real man of heart and brains though, to
act that way. Thore mv the kind of m**u
wbe work for their town and put their
money in channel* to obtain the best results.
They lead in all good enterprise*.
M*ey of course just as good aud just as
;<ck of m> ans.

A good Catholic or a goo»l republican must
foel if they come that they will be exempt
brum the taunts of opposing parties.
NOTICE.
A business meeting of the Peoples
' Party was held last Saturday, at which
it was agreed that a party organ should
bo published at Cnthbert. Until the
necessary material can bo purchased and
put up arrangements have been made
with our neighbor, the Clay County
Reformer, for space in thoir paper to run
a separate department.
CONSTERNATION REIGNS.
It, seems that in a recent issue of 1he
Talbotfon News, Ilevs. .T, B. McGohee.
in relating observations and incidents of
an extended trip, among other things
mentioned the fact that numbers of
democrats were going to vote for Judge
Hines.
This latter statement provoked a reply,
in which an anonymous writer, without
disputing a single statement made by the
reverend gentleman, showered corneas
iired abuse upon him. To shi t in turn
last Rev. week’s J. !?. Mcflehcc of the replies News, in and a card after! in j
issue
pointing out the cowardice of thoanony
rnous attack, lie concludes as follows.
We are glad our letter was copied.
Bfrange and startling as the truths are
going they are truths- ‘‘Many Evans men are
to Hines” and it is the knowledge
of that fact that, is filling Georgia with j
campaigners from tin's state, other states I
—even going so far as to hire tlie north
ern going negro, Rons. Ar; 1 said, “they are}
to Atlanta, Columbus, Macon, j
smaller the h towns, villages country”—and Citi ■
aders know it. and “Weary j
zen" knows it and did not deny it. It
was much easier for him, and, may be,
gratified a poraonal spleen for him to
(lodge all that and “go for” me.
I o his fling at “congenial company”
wo simply say we pick our company, and
find gentlemen and patriots in all
lies. We shall continue this comse an¬
...... i! patties put corruption, ,• regard i
away
their pledges and do something fur the
country. High corn and meat, low
ton and blooming prospect ot increased
taxation, poorly prepare us to continue
even ancient corporations when onco we
suspeet that they are run by
fixers” and county satraps.
In conclusion we submit to our con
coaled friend the following:
Throw off vour mask. Prove
"E ntity and respectability. Select any
statement m my letter, name day and
place and I w ill prove all I have said.
i ’rom Columbus, Macon, Atlanta, vil
luges- Evans -even in old Talbot—I w ill bring
men who are going to vote for
Judge. Hines. Mark me, I do not
pose a political by speech beyond the points
eovered my letter. In the meantime
my friend would do well to surrender all
prejudice against “my favorite
turn," “render unto Caezar the things
which uro Caezar’ h.” We fear that in
common with thousands ho has left off*
io.t alt \ and sen ice to I aezar, and is

Brother Me!tehee, like ■ii and
fearless man that ho is, sim.. s -f might
at the shoulders. No mincing—no plat¬
itudes, but pure, mi adulterated English,
set in epigrunnitie coloring m his way of
speaking and writing. Judge Hines’
supporters need have no fears of losing
caste when meu like I)rs. McGehee,
Hawthorne, McDonald and Morrison say
kindly things about him and will vote for

one doubt the truth of this
Let them write and find out if they do.
Yes, the platforms of the
Democrats are almost identical
the plank favoring the government
orship of railroads, etc., therefore, in
btllto tt ?‘ liw ll is T^ion of meu
^cly rather than creeds. That being
truc, has Mr. Atkinson any advantage
over Judge Hiues? We think not. How
ever, people are divided between the two
gentlemen, aud so it goes. Take your
choice. But don’t get mad and say
ugly things about us because we differ
politically. We may be a better friend
to you right now than Mr. Atkinson and
rnake more sacrifices for you. Then lets
be men—broad aud conservative, capa
bio of presenting our differences upon
the high plane of dispassionate regard—
having in view the ultimate good uf the
whole people.
Mr. N. T. Crozier, the nominee for the
Semite on tho Peoples Party ticket for
the 11th Senatorial district is one of the
old hiudiuaiks of Randolph county.
There is scarcely a man in the county
who does not know’ Mr. Crozier at sight.
Reared here, his every iuterest binds
him to this particular section. Being a
man of intelligence and of studious dri¬
position, Mr. Crozier has taken great
eare to inform lrmsclf upon public mat
tern and never acts hastily. As a result
0 f this painstaking research he was
among the very first in (his section
“ 0C eept the situation” (as Senator Brown
expressed it) and openly declare for the
principles of the Peoples Party. That
YJr. Crozier is sincere no one can doubt,
aud therefore cannot be accused of sin
i*ter motives in renouncing old party
ties. His candidacy is purely unsought,
and therefore unselfish. If elected the
people will have a faithful and wise ser¬
vant to guard their every interest.
Ask any intelligent northern man why
emigration ixmth has been so loug com¬
ing, and four out of five will say: “A
spirit of political iutoleration” is the
great hindering cause,
■ Y«, I am going to vote tho Homo
.tic tickvt, but it lieu Ido [will
against truth and light.” If you feel
this way don't vote at all. Have a con¬
science void of offense.

Senator Mills of Texas, the great
j apostle of tariff reform, in the bitterness

| ° 8 presents
question from a natural view, and } rob
ably cones more nearly arriving at the
truth than any one who has yet spoken
succinctly on the subject. But let the
Sc,mtor s I >enk - fIis words are weighty I
and worthy of belief. .Mr. Mills said: j
Mr, President. I bar not risen to at¬
l.v tack or defend the bill which has recent- |
passed Congress and is now awaiting
the signature of the President. I think
perhaps that the least that wj can say about
measure the better it will be. It :s
the moat remarkable measure that has
ever found itself upon tho pages of the
statute books of any country. It is a
phenomenon in political science, and CH
peeially this is is it so when we consider that
legislation a popular government and that
in a popular government is
the ervsiulization of the public will. I
make bold to say here to-day that that
bill does not reflect the sentiment of one
thousand people of the United Stales,
J do not think I will be far from the
truth when I say tiiere is not a Republi¬
can in tho Uuited States who favors it.
I do not think I will he far amiss when 1
say there is not a Populist in the United
Htates v.ho favors it, judging by the
votes of their representatives in this
chamber. I do not believb I will be far
from the truth when I say that Iho gx'eat
masses of the Democratic people of the
L uited {States condemn it. It is the
product, as we all know, of five or six.
or at best seven, members on this floor,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
The president has gone to Buzzard's Bay
to meditate and evidently to get over Jiis
malarial attack, and every day he meditates
involves a loss to the government, in inter
nul !• venue receipts of from $500,000 to
$1,000,000. Every day ho meditates .is so
much profit to the Whisky Trust, which is
with dr.twin^ as rapidly as it all its whisky
j„ bond so as to evade the additional tax of
l» 0 cents per gallon. If the president con
tinues to meditate until the expiration >f
ten which days, lie the constitutional limit within
must act or allow the bill to be
come a law. the Whisky Trust will have
been In*m*fitted to the extent of $0,000,000

to profit. The
sugar trust, too, is reaping a golden harvest,

“^e Mr. Cleveland to sit by and see a

would liaye been just as easy for him to
have defined his position ou that ques>
tiou before as after tho bill passed cou-
8 l 'ess aud thus saved thousands of dol
] *irs of expense to the people. It was
possibly another case where the dignity
of the presidential office had to be pro¬
tected. My! Mv! behold the spectacle
of a suffering people and their patience
under such a trial. Mr. Clevelands cou
duct smacks strikingly of childishness
after the last stick of his candy had
dropped in the sand.
What aie the people to do and believe
when goldbng democrats and free silver
democrats are proclaiming that each are
right and the other wrong? It is well
that the Constitution, with its accustom¬
ed good sense aud presence calls a halt
and exposes the folly of such a course.
