THE ELECTION.
The election is over. The verdict
of the people’is made up. Now let us
hope that the victors will not become
too exuberant in their manifestations
of joy, and that the defeated candi
dates will not become too grum and
sour.
f
It is but natural that some of ihe
candidates should be beaten and dis
appointed. Buch is politics.
As the dust of the day settles so also
let your feelings settle.
The populists have carried the day
world without end, and fairly too.
Let’s take it good naturedly, boys,
and not get mad about it.
Florida went democratic by about
20,000 majority.
HANNAH’S METHODS.
The managers of McKinley’s cam
paign are striking out wildly with the
energy of despair. They have not
stopped at threatening loss of custom
and employment to business men and
laborers who favor Bryan. They have
invaded the churches as well as the
counting-rooms and work shops of the
country. They have threatened the
Baptists of the East with financial
disaster unless they advocate McKir.
ism as a part of their creed, and now
they have addressed a letter to the
Catholic clergy seeking their alliance.
There is no doubt that this work
will react agaiust McKinley and the
g. o. p. No man loves him who coer
ces him in business. Stiil more he
dislikes him who encroaches on his
religious idew arid associations and
the livery of heaven to serve
in.*’ may be influ
diced to some outward show of allegi
ance to McKiuleyism, but he will take
his revenge in the voting places, allow
ing no one to look over his shoulder
when he selects his ballot.
Intelligent voters will not be coerced
and the party it usually
gets left.
Carry the news to Sam Jones.
Watson, like Bewail, could not carry
his own state.
.The pops said they would heat us in
Coffee, and now we believe it.
Atklsfon’s majority will finally set
tle aaaaaw here near the 25,000 mark.
There will be elections iu three
states this week—Connecticut, Florida
und Georgia.
ri 111 1 .. ..
Now let’s make a long pull and a
strong pull and a pull all together for
Bryan and Brantley.
Bryan will do the balance of his
campaigning in the West. He was
i enthusiastically received in the East,
■ !—, bb_J LJ!
Since his nomination for President
Mr. Bryan lias delivered 208 speeches
spoken in 22 states and 172 towns and
trayeled 8,090 miles.
Chairmen Clay and Cunningham
are calling each other “liars” and
“cewardal this week. Verily the cam
paign is growing warmer,
1 leading populist of Alaba
ma, has announced that he will sup
port Bryan and Sewall. He cares more
for the welfare of the silver cause than
he does for Tom Watson.
The Waycrosß Herald offers to com
promise with Cleveland as follows:
“If Mr. Cleveland will help the Ar
menians and recognize the Cuban in
surgents, we will forgive him for his
failure to recognize the Democratic
nominees.”
BRYAN TO THE POPULISTS.
The Democratic Nominee Accepts tin Populist Nomination, Saying This is a
Time when All Advocates of>Bi-metalism Should Unite.
St. Louis, Oct. s. —Hon. Wm. J. Bryan’s letter accepting the Populist nom
inat on, has been given out here and is as follows ;
Lincoln, Neb., Oct 3.189 G. Hon. William Alien, Chairman, and others,
members of the Notification Committee of the Peoples Party.
Gentlemen; The Nomination of (lie people’s party for the presidency of
I’nited states has been tendered me in such a generous spirit, and upon such
honorable terms, that I am able to accept the same, without departing from
the platform adopted by the national convention at Chicago.
I fully appreciate the breath of the patriotism which has actuated the mem
bers of the people’s party who. in order to consolidate the sentiment in favor
of hi metalism, have been willing to go outside of party lines and support as
their candidate one already named by the democratic party, and also by the
silver party. I also appreciate the fact that while during all the years since
1873 a large majority of the democratic party and a considerable minority of
the republican have been cosistent advocates of the free coinage of silver, at
the present ratio, yet since the orgai/.ation of the peoples party its members
have unanimously supported such coinage as the only means of restoring
bi-melalism.
people’s party’s work for free silver.
By persistently pointing out the disastrous effects of a gold standard and
protesting against each successive step towards financial bondage, the peo
ple’s party lias exeited an important influence in awakening the public to a
realization of the nation’s political peril. In a time like this, when a great
political party is attempting to surrender the right t<> legislate for ourselves
upon the financial question, and is seeking to bind the American people to a
foreign monetary system, it behooves us lovers of our country and friends to
American institution to lay aside for the present such differences as may exist
among us on minor questions, in order that our strength imiy be united in a
supreme effort to wrest the government from tue hands of those who imagine
that the nations finances are only secured when controlled by a few finan
ciers, and that national honor can only be maintained by showing acqui
esencence in any political policy, however destructive to tho interest of the
people of the United States, which foreign creditors, political or prospective,
may desiro to force upon us.
CO OPERATION FOR THE SAKE OF WI-METAUSM.
It is a cause of congratulation that we have in this campaign not only the
support of the democrats, but populist and republicans who have all along
believed in independent bi-metalism, but also the active co-operation of those
democrats and republicans who havs heretofore waited for internal bi-metal
ism now join with us rather than trust the destinies of the nation in the
hands of those who are holding out the delusive hope of foreign aid while
they labor secretly for the permanent establishment of a single gold standard.
While (Jjlliculties have always arisen in tho settlement of details of any
plan of co-operation between political organization, I am sure that the advo
cates of bimetalism are so intensely in earnest that they will be able to de
vise some means by which the free silver vote may concentrated upon one
electoral ticket in each state. To secure this result, charity towards the opin
ions of others and liberalty on the part of all is necessary, but honest and sin
cere friends who are working towards a common result always find it possible
to agree upon just and equable terms. The American people have proved
equal to every emergency which has arisen in the past, and I am confident
that in the present emergency there will be no antagonism between the vari
ous regiments of the one great army which is marching to repel an invasion
more dangerous to oir- welfair than an army with banners.
Acknowledging with gratitude your expression of confidence- and good
will, am very truly yours, . , -*• W.J. Witt ah.
The Supramc Court Reverses Itself.
The Supreme court of Georgia ren
dered a very important decision rever
sing or correcting itself, on Thursday.
Under it the charters of 9<> towns in
the state having’less than 2000 inhab
tants, which charters were declared
null and void by the courts only a few
weeks ago, are now declared to he val
id. Tho Court overruled its former de
cision, and the effect of its present
ruling is to prevent demoralization and
much litigation in the towns affected
The case upon which the test was
made came up from Dooly superior
court, Judge Fish presiding. The town
of Pinehurst in Dooly county had
been granted a charter by the legisla
lure under the authority of the act ot
1891, repealing the beneral law, which
provided for the incorporation of all
towns of less 2,000 inhabitants by tin
superior courts.
The effect of this decision wash
nullify the charter of every town ii
the state of less than 2,000 peoph
which had obtained its charter fron
the ieg!<iature since 1891.
It so happened however, that associ
ate Justice Atkinson was not on tin
bench at the time the first decision
was rendered, and when he returned
last week and the attention of tlu
court was called to the fact that there
was a conflicting decision of the su
preme court reported in the Eiglity
fourtli Georgia, the dociaison was sus
pended and a hearing occurred on
Wednesday, and the decision over
ruling the former decision and declar
ing the charter of these towns valid,
was handed down on Thursday.
