«r a tsoii’s Shameless Ambi
Uon.
The Ishmaelite has beeu truth¬
ful and plain-spoken in its
characterization of Tom Wat¬
son and bis methods. This
truthfulness and plain-speaking
play have seemed harsh even
to some Democrats. The fact
is, the record of the man, his
character, his purposes and his
language have been so much at
war with what can hut have
expected from a Georgia Con
gressman that a truthful rep
refutation of them can but
partake of the semblance, if
not not of the reality of de
nunciation
Has the paper been too severe
in its portraiture of his charac¬
ter, his methods and his pur¬
poses ? Has it misrepresented
his spirit and his temper ? Has
it done him injustice in charg¬
ing him with the purpose,
through misrepresentation of
the Democrats and false charg¬
es against them, of creating the
bitterest of hostility between
the people of the country and
those of the cities and towns ?
Has it done him any wrong in
charging him with seeking to
hurry on that histility to the
point of strife and bloodshed ?
Has it done him injustice in
characterizing him as a Cata
line who, to accomplish liis own
ambitious ends, would eagerly
wrap the entire district in the
storm of strife—friend against
friend, family against family,
community against community,
county against city and town ?
The Ishmaelite proposes to
rests its whole cause against
Thomas E. Watson on the fol¬
lowing inflammatory and
shameless editorial utterances
from him in his paper :
Democrats : No boldness of de¬
nial can shield you from the
contempt of all honorable men !
Your heelers did just what you
encouraged them to do. In
vain your tardy repentance.
You deceive nobody. All men
know that you are sorry simply
you see that your
shameful methods of campaign
are bringing condemnation to
your cause.
People's party men! Remem¬
that even yonr wives are
safe from Democratic insult
and assault. Remember, that
for the first time in the history
of the republic a presidential
has been driven from
and his wife has found
protection in her sex from
brutal attacks of ‘ Southern
chivalry’ as represented by
bourborn Democracy* They
call us the rag-tag of the scum
of creation. Thank God, we
have never yet dreamed we
could win our way in public fa¬
by insulting women and
striking them in the face with
eggs.
“ It is the dudes and politi¬
cians of the cities who silence
our arguments with idiotic
bowlings and who drive lauies
from the audience by spatte) -
lug them with eggs.
“ There is not a city in Geor¬
gia which does not hold its
prosperity by virtue of country
trade.
“ Gentleman, do you wish it
understood that the country
people are not wanted in your
cities? Do you wish us to un¬
derstand that our wives and
daughters are lo bo i jsulted
and rotten-egged when they at
teu political meetings iu your
cities.
Ho you wish us to under¬
stand that you do not want our
trade, and that we must carry
it somewhere else ?
‘ If so, tell us! We are get
tiug tired of these outiages!
“Every time your speakers
pome out into the country they
aie treated with respect.
Ox vain do you try to pack it
‘ one small boy and
one
°2g. The Democratic newspa
rt vs and the Democratic bosses

s A ale’s Weekly
VOL. X. NUMBER 37.
The Ishmaelite reproduces the
entire article that it may be
safe from the charge of garb¬
ling and misrepresentation, and
it asks a careful reading of it at
the hands of tho people, with a
view to determiug the justice or
injustice of the Ishmaelite’s
characterization of W atson’s
methods and purposes.
He knows that Mrs. Weaver,
sitting in the rear of the balco¬
ny at the Lanier house, could
not he seen from the street be¬
low. He knows that the egg
thrown from the street was
meant for Weaver and not for
his wife. He knows that the
striking of her was altogether
accidentel. And yet, with a
shamelessness unparallelled, he
charges that the striking of h r
was intentioned; and tells his
already inflamed followers that
their “wives are not safe from
Democratic-insult and assault.”
He knew when he made thet
statement that it was the mos
infamaous of false-hoods; and
his motive in making it
could but have been to excite
bitter hostility toward the resi¬
dents in the cities and towns of
the State in the minds of his
followers who 'riside in the
country.
There is not in the tenth dis¬
trict a third party man who
doos not know that his wife
aucl daughters are safe from
“insult and assault ’ in the citi’s
and towns of the district, and
statement of the contrary is an
infamous libel on all our people.
There is no paralled to it in
mendacity of assertion and in¬
famy of purpose in any slander
ever uttered against our people
by the console,tdess Republican
partisans of the North,
The Ishmaelite askes the hon¬
est, unprejudiced attention of
intelligent third party men to
Watson’s utterances. It asks
them to consider the baseness
of the motive that necessarily
lay hack of them. It urges them
to consider the ruinous conse¬
quences which would inevitably
result from their following of
the counsel of bitterness and
strife given them by their revo
lutionary leader. It challenges
the conclusion of their honest
judgement on the statement
that Watson, in seeking to ar¬
ray them, through infamously
false charges, in hostility against
their friends and neighbors of
the. cities and towns, is really a
worse enemy to them than the
Democrats would be even were
his base charges against them
true.
Shame upon the unprincipled
demagogue! He would have
his followers in the country
make war upon the people of
the cities and towns ; he would
have the people of the country
refuse to trade in the cities and
towns; he would have them
look upon the Democrats as not
only their political but their
personal enemies; he would
work them up to the point of
violence and blco :shed that,
through the wreck and ruin
wrought by his infamous teach¬
ings, he may again be reward¬
ed with honors and emoluments
of office. He would sacrifice
the peace and the prosperity of
all the people on the altar of
his unbridled lust for office.
There are well meaning men
in the third party ranks, and
the Ishmaelite asks them to
stop and consider whether the
peace of their homes and com¬
munities and the possibility of
present and future prosperity v
do not constitute too big a price
to pay for the gratfication
the guilty ambition of an un
principled demagogue.
