From Tiu^ilny’s Evening IIkh.vm*.
To-morrow the candidate' of the
pnrty which Hill Pledger has been
pleased to call the rag-tag and bob-
tail element, will be in our midst.
All day long conjectures have been
rife as to what sort of reception would
be given him, but almost everybody
agreed that in spite of the fact that
the bitterest enmity has existed be
tween him and the people of this sec
tion on account of his inhumanity
and reckless and unlawful plundering
during the civil war, he should be ac
corded a respectful hearing.
Weaver’s manager? have refused a
division of time with’ our most prom
inent Democrats because, in their esti
mation, the dignity of his position
forbade the crossing of lances with one
who was jtiol a candidate of a like de
gree. They will gain nothing by this
course. 11is character, which has al
ready been extensively aired through
t he medium of the press, would de
tract whatever of force there might be
in his harangue, were it*not already
rendered weightless by the nature of
the party and the folly of the prin
ciples he represents.
Some Ugly Fuel*.
But what of this man who is coining
among us—this political Demagogue
who denies everything lie has ever
done and asserts what he himself
doesn’t believe?
Those bits of history, his malicious
slanders and tyrannical actions may
be twice told tales, but they will bear
repetition, if it he only as testimony
to fasten the guilt where it belongs,
and hold him up to the gaze of a peo
ple upon whom lie had no mercy, and
who will retaliate when the time comes
for a public expression of their feel
ings.
Citations from his slanderous
speeches have been numerously quoted,
and they give a fair idea of the hate
that was then rankling in the bosom
of the speaker. A few extracts from
speeches, which appear in the Con
gressional Becord will not come amiss.
One of his choice sentences, spoken at
Oskaloosa, Iowa, in 1872, reads:
No Hcpublicun can over* under any clrcum-
stnncos, have any part or lot with the hungry,
rebellion*, mundinting, woman •selling gang
corporatcd under the name of Democracy.
Another time in Iowa he said:
I want to congratulate yon flrst, follow-citi
zen*, on the 8upprcM*inu of u purely Democratic
rebellion, gotten up by Democrats for the Dem
ocratic purpose of dissevering this Union and
perpetually establishing human slavery.
These are not all. During his tyran
nical reign in the .South he robbed and
plundered many citizens, to whom he
replied when they asked for vouchers
for what he had taken, “I don’t give
rebels in the South vouchers. I had
rather furnish rope to hang every d—n
one of them.”
That occurred when
Weaver Was nt.Pitlnaki, Teuu.,
in command of a troop of Federal sol
diers wlio were there plundering the
country nround.
It was a mnsterly stroke of enter
prise on the part of the Atlanta Jour
nal when they sent to Pulaski and ob
tained full and convincing proof of
the tyranny of Weaver while in
command at that point. The signa
tures of the citizens are there, accom
panied by sworn affidavits, and, above
all, documents In Weaver’s own hand
writing, which will admit of no denial.
The counts in the indictment pre
ferred by the people of Pulaski qgainst
General (then Colonel) Weaver, are,
briefly stated, as follows:
That as commandant of the post nnd
in consequence the supreme military
authority for the time here, he was ar
bitrary, tyrannical and unnecessarily
severe in his treatment of the people.
That he caused to be arrested and
thrown Into the common prison stock
ade, upright, reputable and law abid
ing citizens whose only offense was
their sympathy with the Confederate
cause.
That he robbed widows and other
non-combatants of property not need
ed for supplies for his army, and for
which lie refused to give vouchers.
That he extorted from various citi
zens considerable sums of money,
without any form of law, which money
these citizens, to this day, flrmly be
lieve was appropriated to Weaver’s
own use and benefit.
The proofs presented with the
charges are sufficient for a full and
speedy conviction. His appeal for
new trin) which he is now making be
fore the people of the country will
never be sustained. He will carry the
stamp of conviction upon his brow un
til his death, and if it can be hindered
by the people of the South lie will
never hold office in this land.
This is the man who has slandered,
abused, reviled and cursed you; the
man who has recklessly plundered
helpless southern citizens whose only
crime was that their sympathies were
with the confederate cause. Patriots
ail, patriots everywhere, will you give
him your vote?
As the cry resounds through the
southern atmosphere, and strikes the
uttermost walls around the States
once UDited In a common cause, the
eoho comes back full and clear: “Not
if we know it.”

A Real Live Presidential Can-
. didate Yisits Albany,
He Is Accompanied by Mrs.
Weaver and Mrs. i.ease
—A Lively Day.
SPEAKING AT THE MAYO.
From Woilmjwiny’h Evening Herald,
There is areal live Presidential can
didate in Albany to-day.
Gen. J. B. Weaver cauie in l’roin Way-!
cross this afternoon at J1 o’clock on the !
B. & W, With him were Mrs. Weaver,
Mrs. Mary K. Lea>e, the noted Third j
Party female orator, and Mr. Dee
Crandall of the “National View,” a
Third Party organ published at. Wash
ington, D. O., who D managing the
party. Gen. Weaver amt his party
drove to the Hotel Mayo, where they
took quarters.
On I he Ktl'CttN. ■
All day Iona: tile streets have been
crowded with Third Partyltes from
various parts of the district who have
gathered here to the number of about
200 or more to hear their would-he
President speak.
Political arguments and discussions
have been going on on the streets cor
ners all day long, and some of them
have grown very warm and then Hot.
Time and again assertions have been
made in regard to the Third Party
strength in various sections; and time
and again they have' been denied nnd
redenled.
' The Committees In Coiifeeence.
The committee of the Democrats is
Messrs. J. W. Walters,H. M. McIntosh
nnd Y. G. Bust, and that of the Third
Party consists of Messrs. F, O. Jackson
and Mobley, of Decatur county, ami
Isrenl Maples of Mitchell.
The Democratic committee proposed
n division of time with the Third Par-
tyites, but, that, of course, will he re
fused, ns General Weaver will meet no
one but a man of His own rank. If no
other arrangement can be made they
will ask to be allowed to put some
questions to General Weaver. This
will probably be refused also.
Their course will then probably be
to have an nddress made by Jack Car
ter after Weaver and Mrs. Lease have
finished their orations. No arranger
meats have yet been made up to the
time of going to press as the commit
tees were still in conference.
The Democrats think that they have
a right to make some reply when Gen.
Weaver comes into their midsl,
where rtjjt a single. Third Party, mail
is to be found, and attempts to make
converts to his doctrine.
The Mpcnkinx*
The committees could not agree, and
as the Third Partyltes smelt a rodent,
they decided to have the speaking at
the Hotel Mayo instead of at Willing
ham's Hall.
The crowd was soon gathered about
the piazza and about 4:10 Gen. Weaver
took the stand, having been intro
duced by Mr. Aleck Jones of Tlinmas-
ville. t
Gen. Weaver greeted the orowd of
assembled Georgians and then began
his political harangue.
He began by saying he advocated the
Ocala platform through and through.
Said he had been accused of hating
the South, and saying harsh and slan
derous things against its people. He
admitted having made these speeches.
He had been n member of the Re
publican party, but when it went for
capital and monopoly as did also the
Democratic party he joined tile Third
Party and had been with it ever since.
Some one here called out.
“Which party you ain't been in?”
Weaver then went on to explain that
he had never been in but two. The
Greenback party and others were the
same as of Peoples’ Party.'
Weaver was interrupted frequent
ly by cries from the audience, and
all his appeals for quiet were useless.
They hooted and yelled whenever they
saw fit. Only the Third Partyltes ap
plauded, and then very weakly.
He asked a policeman to keep
a man quiet but it no had no effect.
Weaver then went on to explain
about Pulaski. Gen. Dodge had been
In command of the forces there. He,
Weaver, had nothing to .do I with it,
and was not responsible for the deeds
of the soldiers. He took no man’s
property while there, and boarded
with the Ballantines, who always
spoke kindly of him. Hq asked Hr.
Horton, of the Journal, if he bad not
told him, Weaver," that’he had found
out that that was so.
Mr. Horton arose and said that what
he had published was on the authority
of citizens of Pulaski, and that he had
witli him the sworn affidavits that
their testimony was true.
At this the crowd almost went
wild, and General Weaver ap
pealed to the manhood, qf Georgians
to keep quiet. He then' asked Mr.
Horton if he had not made this state
ment, to which Mr.. Horton, replied
that people had told him things to
that, effect. Weaver then told Mr.
Horton to take Ills seat and keep quiet,
to which Mr. Horton replied that ho
would say what he pleased.
Weaver then went on to deny by
the wholesale the charges made
against him in regard to oppressing
Confederate soldiers. Whoever said
lie had taken anybody’s property or
put anybody in prison told a false
hood.
lie then went on to discuss the
issues from a Third Prrty stand
point ns usual.
The' tariff anil the force hill were not
the issues, it was the money question
—labor against capital. He then said
if tile crowd wanted to hear the lady
she would speak. Some called for Mrs.
Lease and some one yelled :
"Don't want to hear the lady!”
Mrs. Lease took the stand, however,
without any Introduction as slie said
she didn’t want any.
Site quieted the crowd somewhat by
her flattery of Georglansnml IheGeor-
gia people, say that they lmd always
respected tier. Someone in the crowd
hooded, and she quietly said to lnm :
“You're not a Georgian.”
She then went on in Somewhat of an
impassioned oratorical style to depict
the so-called desolation of tho people,
and to discuss the Issues of tlie day a
In Third Pnrty.
The crowd accorded her a respectful
hearing.
On account of the lateness of the
hour the IIkiui.d was obliged to go to
press at this juncture.

Weaver has departed, and Ims left
mir fair city as lie found It—with no
more Third Party sentiment than It
lmd before he enme.
Mrs. Lease was allowed to finish her
address, yesterday, In comparative
peace and quiet, Her flattery won the
orowd so far ns order wns concerned,
nnd when some one in the audience
interrupted her once or twice she
turned quickly and said:
"You're not a Georgian.”
After this she was interrupted very
little nnd went on in her impnssioned
sentimental style to depict the imagi
nary woes that were stalking through
the nation, and the brilliant, sugar
coated nnd easily swallowed pills that
tile Third Party had prepared to re
move and remedy them.
They I .eft.
When slip had finished her speech
tlie real, live presidential candidate,
witli Ills alde-de-onmpB, picked up his
duds nnd quickly withdrew to his
quarters in the hotel, not caring to
hear any replies that the Democrats
might make.
Cries of “Walters,” “Walters!" then
rent the air. Col. Walters came for
ward and announced that Jaek Carter
was there and would reply to the
would-be president nnd ids aide,
Before Carter took the stand, how
ever, Mr. Thad Horton, of the Atlanta
Journal, stepped forward and said he
wished to make a statement.
He said that he held the sworn affi
davits of the best oitizens of Pulaski,
Tenn., to the facts concerning Weav
er’s record there as published in the
Journal, whioh were certainly far
more reliable than any statement Gen.
.Weaver might make from the stump
in ills own interests. If they could
not be relied on any oitizen was liable
to be indicted for perjury; as these
citizens lmd been by Weaver. Weaver
admitted having extorted $2,000 from
the people, which was, in itself, suffi
cient condemnation of the man and his
methods while there.
Mr. Horton was loudly applauded by
the people. Quite a number of the
Third Partyltes remained to get a
whiff of the delicious aftermath of the
occasion.
Carter tipealtM,
Jack Carter then took tho stand to
reply to Gen. Weaver. He stated, as
before, that nationally, he was a Re
publican, and was against the Third
Party in any nnd every form.
He waded into Weaver and Mrs.
Lease in great style, and his remarks
were interspersed with humor and wit
which kept the crowd in a laugh.
Jack made a good speech, and thor
oughly refuted whatever of argament
there might have been in the speeches
of his antagonists.
Tlie would-be > presidential party
boarded the train this morning for
Columbus; Mere they will, no doubt,
meet with a muoh livelier Democratic
reception than they did here.
