It Is said that Congressman Henry
G. Turner will meet General Weaver
on the stump at Waycross on Septem
ber Doth. Mr. Turner is pre-eminent
ly qualified to meet this South-bater.
He is familiar, not only with Weaver’s
war record, but with the platforms and
policies of all the parties, and hla pow
er of eloquence to put the facta before
the people in the right light, will .con
vince hla hearers that Democracy la

Speaking of the coalition between
the Republicans and the Peoples Par
ty In the South the Philadelphia Rec
ord has the following:
Aa Representative Tom Watson, of
Georgia, puts It, Republican success
would “mt( ‘
enaify the evila of monopo
ly, protected trusts and wasteful ex
penditures of the publlo money,” and
thus pave the way for the People’s
Party In INKS. The patriots of the
People’s Party would do evil now to
help the Republicans in order that
they might get a whnek at the public

The men who have lynched the colored
people In the past; the men who have

his crowd, whose last performance was
the .attempted enactment of the slave-
tenant bill, which aimed at the re-en-’
slavement of the colored, landless poor
—putting every ‘cropper’ and renter
In the chain-gang.
“When I am compelled to choose
thus I want to select and vote for those
Democrats who represent the best and
noblest elements of their party, Its
highest aspirations and loftiest pur
poses. If you wanted a subscription
to build a church or sclioolhouse; if
you wanted somebody to go on your
bond, you would apply nt once to men
like Governor Northnn or Ool. Hob
Hardeman, the‘watch-dog of the treas
