NAILING C. C. POBT
HE IS A HIRELING <•? TIN- RE? l? LI¬
CAN PARTY.
Georgia, Haralson county—In a
hotel in Knoxville, Tennessee, I
heard the following conversation
between Major Wilhoit, a rank
republican, and another gentleman
whose name I did not learn
Major Wilhoit, as ho was called,
said “that they (the republic
party) had a man established
Villa Rica, Ga., employed to burs l
up the democracy and that
(Wilhoit) had paid $800 o u litis
man’s salary.”
Major Wilhoit said further, r.
conversation, “that the Bout)
people had been their enemiei in
the war and that they (the ■'pub-
lican party) were going to make
them serve them in peace.”
Of course 1 was enraged and folt
tlint I ought to defend my p >le,
so I interrupted him. I asked iurn
who the man was they had m -
ployed to burst up the democracy
in Georgia. lie replied that it was
“Mr. C. C. Post whom they had
sent to run a newspaper G ‘TV
gia.” 1 then asked him 1: w they
proposed to burst iq> th demo-
cratic South? Ho replied “by ed¬
ucating the people against
cratic principles. b>
them with newspapers and othe T
literature." Hero Major Y. illicit
stated again that they had Air.
0. Post whom they bad sent to nm
a paper in tnen* interest and that
he was right man m the ngnt
place. He said, “Mr. Poet is a good
one -”
Major Wilhoit then asked me
where I was from. I told him that
1 was from Georgia, aud that 1
was a true Southern man and a
staunch democrat. 1 then tried to
draw Major Wilhoit out on the
plans of the republican party fur¬
ther, but could get no more infor¬
mation from him after he found
out who I was. If I had dreamed
then of a third party, 1 certainly
would hare „«d him to r»rr *r«t
advantage but i had no idea that
the South would be confronted by
such a scheme, concocted hy the
republican 1 partv. 1 bonce I made no

MOT FOR THE POOR
--
The t. p. is not the poor man's
party. As a matter of fact it is no
man's party. Why any property
holder should be apoilingly flux¬
ion? to be taxed to buy railroads,
is a mystery too deep for us. Why
he should be fairly sweating under
the collar and literally dying to
pay fifty dollars tax to where he
now pay a one and expect to get re¬
lief by it ia the greatest wonder of
the age to this 3cribe
Of a! i the t. p. plans there is but
ond that really looks toward relief
in any shape, and that ie the two
per cent land loan scheme. And
that won't help the poor and the
laboring claw-es any. It wouldn’t
even if the money was loaned by
the government without interest,
for the simple reason that they
have no land on which to borrow.
The man without land would ha
the man r. ithout money still, and
the rich of to-day would be the
borrowers of money at the low rate
iatero .r. which they would loan
to the poor at a high rate.
There may be something in the
land loan scheme for th© fellow
who already has land or money t©
buy land, but the laboring classes
and tho poor could get no possible
benefit from it.
.There isn't a single ineasur m
tii a'third party platform that even
looks towards helping the poor.
There is the free silver bill which
proposes to put SO cents more p$r
capita J out whcr e folks can work
fo it and parn It could not
. • g „- ny „at benefit t anybody
J ° ff o
except the rich owners of the
mines, who would be allowed to
bring seventy cents in silver aud
get a dollar for it. Why not with
equal ,/, fairness let a farmer bring
enly oents * orth o f cotton and
j. a dollar for it? It won id be

ing he entertained in the people

favor the legislation which was
favorable to the south or that
which was hostile? These and
-iher questions ought to be asked
him, and answers ought to be in¬

LIGHT BREAKING FOR THE
NEGRO.
The revolt of tho negro against
the old time republican rolo is the
most promising sign for tho negro
race that hag appeared in many a
day. It is apparent all over Geor¬
gia. and it was particularly so in
the Floyd county convention yes¬
terday.
It was a noteworthy fact that the
negroes objected to being bound
hand aud foot by the resolution
which would have pledged them
not to vote for ike State. Congre?;-

noc The protest against tide
resolution was; raised bv the most
intelligent ami respectable of tho
negroes, aud it ir- •• ratifying to re-
cord the fact that the intelligent
olcmsnt prevailed. The resolution
was defeated and another, which
left them free to vote as they
please in State politics, was adept¬
ed
The unanimity with which the
ry-groas all over the state aro doing

they are at last awakening to the
fact that their white neighbors are
their best friends.

TALKS ROOD SENSE 7 > THE CEoPLK
THeUGJJ TOE 3 iAPIS;:KIAN.
The Republican party is by birth
in generation a sectional party. We
suppose Lincoln did not receive a
thousand rob s in the South for
president. It was the array men t
of the fnnati u-m of the East and
West against the property and in¬
terest of the South. It was a par¬
ty of highway robbers to deprive
the South of her property.
Th® third party is a Western par¬
ty. It is a party for high prices
for corn, bacon, dour, whiskey aud
silver.
The South lias no bacon, corn,
flour or silver to sell or export, and
therefor; no interest in common
with th- West. We want cheap
food and no whiskey.
The Democratic party is the only
national party now in the nation.
Tho Dcm K-nita. of the East and
West can do the South no good. Any
attempt on the part of any party
East and West, to advocate the
claims, or do justice to the South,
would defeat itself.
Tho South is permanently politi¬
cally jointed in both the other sec¬
tions of the nation. TheDemocrats.
since the war, have done for the
South all that any party can do,
and that has been to prevent the
Republicans from utterly ruining
the South by unjust sectional legis¬
lation. For the South to go back
now upon the Democracy of tho
East and West would be treason
against herself. It would bo deser¬
tion of the only true friends at the
East, and West tho South has ever
had.
There are no practical issues now
before the mind ©f the nation but
the high or low tariff. The silver
bill ie not a party issue. The sub-
treasury is chimarieal All at-
tempts to fix the relations by legis¬
lation, of capital and labor is an¬
archy and communism in its worst
and most ruinous forms. No man
nor set of men in this free country
is obliged to follow any special
trade or occupation. There is no
compulsory labor in this country
now bn! convict labor. I would
be the last man to dissuade the pub¬
lic nrn 1 from the political discus¬
sion or the discussion of any ques¬
tion for the moral or tho political
good of the people, but there are
really no practical issues now be¬
fore the mind of the Southern peo¬
ple. Why should tho Southern
people bo divided when there is no
ground for division? when there is
nothing to be gained by division,
but much every way to be lost, why
do demagogues and office seekers
try to array the country against the
towns, and the towns against tho
country? Will the country be made
richer and the people ke relieved
from their financial embarrassment
by breaking down tho towns? Are
not the interests in all respects of
town and country one? What in¬
jures the town damages the sur¬
rounding 1 country. To destroy
Madison woul 1 be to depreciate
half the real eatato value in Morgan
county. To destroy the agricultu¬
ral interest and prosperity ol
Morgan county would be to destroy
Madison. What is the interest of
the one is to the interest of the
other. All divisi m and bitter feel¬
ing should by all means be avoided
in social lifo, in church and state.
Why array country against town
and neighbor against neighbor?
Let us stop and & Y the vital ques ■
tion, What real profit can by any
posible contingency accrue to all or
any class by the mere discussion of
chimerical principles that can nev¬
er become the laws of tho nation?
May we not hope that the good
sense of the people of Georgia it 11
save the people from reacting the
fruitless strife in Alabama. Will
some sober thinking partisan tell
tks public what ha expects to gain
in the end, by politically divid¬
ing the white people of the South,
and what compensation he pro¬
poses to pay for arraying the coun¬
try against the town, and the town
against the country, neighbor
against neighbor, church members
against church members? The
A>L XV N v A. 7) ^
depressed financial conditio .f
the South is not the subject of leg¬
islation, but of agriculture supply
and demand. The whole problem
is in too much cotton and too little
food. There is but one remedy,
and that remedy is not in the hand*
of the politicians but in the hand?
of’the farmers then-selves, and the
solution of the whole problem is
simply less cotton and more food.

POLITICAL CONSIST¬
ENCY
Mr. Watson denounces J. C. C.
Black as ”a foreigner from Kentuc¬
ky of whom nothing was known
until after- the wsr.“ Ton years
ago when this same Black was a
candidate for the United States
Semite, Mr. Watson, then a mem¬
ber of the legislature, seconded his
nomination in a speech, in which
he searched Webster’s Unabridged,
from cover to cover, to find strong
and prilliant words with which to
express his admiration.
A few years ago, when there was
a contest for a seat in the House
between a negro and a white man
from one of the lower counties, and
the committee on elections had
reported in favor of the negro, Mr.
Watson became almost wild in his
opposition and tried to move heav¬
en and earth to unseat the negro.
Now this same negro is stumping
the district for Watson.
During the last presidential eam-
paugn Watson was a Cleveland
elector and although Cleveland bar
been in retirement since that time
and has done nothing to subject
him to harsh criticism, yet V* at,son
descends from the highest praise of
Cleveland in 1888, to the most fear¬
ful abuse in 1802.
Two years ago Watson was elect¬
ed to congress as n democrat hy
the democrats of the tenth con-
gressionai district Yet in less
than two years he has deserted the
party that hoEored him and is now
the bitterest foe that democracy
has. On Saturday Inst, at Craw-
fordville, he M as made to cower un¬
der the fearful arraignment by his
opponent and those who heard it
will never forget when Mr. Black
turned to Watson and said: “Where
is tlie banner entrusted to your
hands by the democrats of the
tenth district? Did yon return
bearing it aloft with ‘victory’ writ¬
ten upon its folds? No, you have
trampled it under your unhallowed
feet and in its stead have brought
home a sword red to the hilt with
the best blood of the party.”
WHO DAVIS IS.
Among the speakers from the
west who are being imported by
the third party managers to convert
the people of Georgia 13 J. H.
Davis, of Texas, candidate of tho
People’s party for attorney general
of that state, and variously known
as “ Cyclone” Davis a nd * Meth¬
odist Jim.”
This picturesque individual with
the stormy name is to begin his
assault on the Georgia Democracy
at Rome on Thursday Meanwhile
it will be well for the people of the
state to learn something concering
him.
Who is Davie, anyhow?
His sole title to fame is his auth¬
orship of the notorious twelfth
plank of the Sr. Louis People’s
party platform—a plank so in-
famous that the leaders of the
party in the south attempted to
suppress it—a provision so despi¬
cable that tho Omaha convention
though it did not have the courage
to repudiate it, dropped it. That
plank was aa follows :
“We demand that the government
issue legal tender notes and pay
the union soldier tho difference
between the price of the depre¬
ciated money in which lie was paid
and gold.”
It is estimated that to execute
the proAisions of this plank would
cost the goversmient two thousand
millions of dollars of which Geor¬
gia would have to pay in the neigh¬
borhood of $65,000,000.
’’Cyclone Davis claims to be the
original author of the infamous
plan to rob rhe southern farmer.
mid in consultation with *\ ea
the self-appointed champion of
monster pension steals in congress,
perfected it before its adoption bv
the Bt Louis convention. *Far
from denying its authorship, as ho
might well have done in shame,
Davis boasted of it, claiming cred¬
it for it in a letter over hi s own
signature, which was published in
the pre- s of Texas at the time.
Do the people of Georgia want
to know anything more about Da¬
vis than this?
To General J. B. Weaver:
Von a re coming t<> <teorgia to ask

ocrat.- to vote for you. In a speech

north and south, in whir.b the in-
famoii copperhead division of
Iowa appears you charged that
they were "again contesting with

and called them ”a rank, traitorous
horde.”
What do you think of thorn

To General J. B. Weaver:
In September, 1871. you told the
people that“lhe record of the repub¬
lican party appeals to the candid
judgment of all men usunimpoach-

conspirators,” and that “the ne
