DID SAY,
Which In Backed Up By Some of the
Leaciiug Citizens of Polk, Neigh
bors of Mr. Everett Whitt
Manner of Man Is He ?
Property qualification.
Must be worth SI,OOO over and
above a homestead.
That is R. W. Everett’s doctrine.
How manv men in Bartow
■would be able to exercise their
suffrage if Mr. Everett could have
his way ?
How many fldembers of the Al
liance would be able to deposit a
ballot for him if he could hatfe his
way ?
it will he remembered that a
paragraph in the issue of The
Ledger of June 26, stating that R.
NY. Everett, the Alliance candidate
for Congress, favored a property
•qualification law, 1. e., that a man
anust be worth SI,OOO over and
above the homestead law.
This he denied in a roundabout
way, as he has several o*her truths,
J ut. nevertheless, facts are facts,
and they will nof be knocked down
at the bidding of the “cheap John”
-demagogue.
The following affidavit, backed
up with the numerous signed cer
tificates, tells the tail and nails R.
NY. Everett, as the boss “wriggler”
of the country, and also proves
what we have charged time and
again, thivt he was not capable of
telling the truth. Read it, you
men who would not be allowed the
privilege of exercising your man
hood if such a law should be
enacted:
Georgia, l
Poik County. \
Personally appeared before me,* Tlios.
Griffin, who, on oath says that he, on or
.about the year 1876. heard R. W. Ever
ett, now a eand’dute for Congress in the
Seventh district of Georgia, say that he
did not believe that any man ought to be
.allowed his vote unless he was worth
£I,OOO over and above a homestead.

Inasmuch as Mr. Griffin is not
known ! it. oughout the Seventh
•district and Mr. Everett denies
the charge, the following was at
tached to the affidavit and duty
signed:

above affidavit, is and has been for

enough is enough.

Firer-ln-Chlef Ilrowu Throws Down
the Gauntlet to the Gallant Gov
ernor-Abusing Gordon's War
Record—Unworthy Slurs.
Atlanta, Sept. B. The Southern A1
lianee Farmer has opened its battery
against Governor Gordon in dead earnest.
In its issue to-day appear the followiug
editorial notes: .
•‘What does a political aristocracy
mean ? A class which has exclusive po
litical privileges. Are th. re any of that
class in Georgia? Yes, those fellows
who have fought for their country once
think they have a right to do as they
please with, it for all time to come.”
“Anything to beat the Alliance f Gov
ernor Gordon, Dr. Felton, and Pat Walsh
all in the same beat. Nothing but tluir
enmity to the Alliance would have ever
brought them together. Stand to the
Alliance, and don’t let these able poli
ticiaas lead you to forsake the grand
cause. ”
“It is not and has not been the prov
ince of this paper to make or to name
candidates, or to tell our brethren for
whom they should vote. When it be
comes necessary for us to say that men
h ive taken a position which Aiiianoemen
cannot afford to support we will do so.
Our object is to supply the facts and let
the people make their own decisions
Now, brethren, watch out for the facts.”
“It has been the purpose of this paper
to opfiose Gen. Gordon as a candidate for
the Senate upon the issues of the present.
We have not intended to go behind it;
and w e hope the g > /< r tor will not thro
down the challenge again which he did
in his speech in Putnam wkeu he spoke of
his record as senator.
“There is a living issue in this land,
and this issue is more money, cheaper
money, money to meet all tl e demands
of commerce, and based upon the supply
of ami demand for farm products, and
backed by Don-perishable farm products.
We cannot afford to trade this living
issue for a man or a sentiment.”
“The Democratic State convention,
which put out a full ticket headed by
Col. Nortbeu for governor, failed to in
dorse Governor Gordon for the United
States Senate, but the Independents are
indorsing him for the important office
without an exception. The disgruntled
politicians who put out Dr. Felton
against Everett indorsed him unanimous
ly. So did the crowd who put an Inde
pendent against the regular nominee in
Hall county. All the Independents are
for Gordon. Are the farmers, who have
so gracefully yielded in every i:
when licaten in the primaries, going to
see the regular nominees cut down be
cause they dare to oppose Gordon for the
Senate ? If Gordon and his friends can
explain this systematic, Independent
Gordon movement, they had better be
about it, for he weight of evidence is
against them.”
There is a strange mixture in Georgia
politi' in this year of our Lord 1890.
' There be those who say the Jeffersonian
Democrats of the Seventh district, who
have nominated Dr. W. H. Felton for
Congress, are la depend earn. Tin* sug
gestion is ridiculous. The supporters of
! Mr. Everett, the Fanners' Alliance caa-
j aidate, are the Independents and dhs
organi/.ers. In more than one county of
the Seventh district they have rejected
Democratic principles and Democratic
usages, and have foisted upon the people
a man who is willing to plant himself
upon any and every platform that will
gain him votes. The time is not far dis
tant when the genuine Democrats r.f
Georgia will rise in their might and crush
into utter ruin the secret pottttail organ
ization which is trying to “boost a small
army of demagogues into office.—Bruns

The so-cailed Democratic party
met here today for the purpose of
nominating one of its number for
Congress.
The delegates to the convention
have belonged in time to every
known political party.
Th l big man among them, Maj
J. A. Blance, at one time kicked
out of the uarty traces beqause it
would not endorse his brother-in
law, J. F. Dever, a rank Republican
and who was ii candidate for the
Legislature.
A committee on platform was
appointed. It showed that it kid
been cut and dried for the occasion.
All reference to the snh-Treasurv
bill was omitted. This alone proves
that the Alliance nor its candidates
were sinscerc but only after delud
ing the ignorant.
A resolution was introduced re.

He also failed to make any reference
to the sub-Treasury bill.
Only the delegates were present,
with the exception of Gordon

To sum it up it was about one of
the tamest convention ever held in
the Seventh. The delegates ap
