JUDGE CRISP DEAD, Heart Failure Follows an Attack of Pluero-Pneumonia. Atlanta, Oct. 23. —Charles F. Crisp, ex-speaker of the house of representatives, died here this af ternoon. The end came at 1 :45 Mr. Crisp has been an inmate of the Holmes Sanitarium in this ci ty for several weeks. His condi tion had been reported as very low, but no fatal conclusion to his ill ness had been expected so soon. A rumor gained currency several days ago that he was sinking, but this was vigorously denied at the sanitarium, where it was given out that he was getting better. Mr. Crisp was the choice of the democrats of Georgia to succeed Senator John B. Gordon in the United States senate, and would have been chosen by the legislature for that position at its approach ing session had he lived. His un timely death throws the political situation into chaos, and makes the choice of a senator a matter of great uncertainty. The legislature is almost unanimously for silver, however, and whoever is named will be an advocate of that policy Gov. Atkinson, who has just been re-elected executive of Georgia for a term of two years, is mentioned as successor t n the senatorial seat -gkhioli*wouid have been Mr. Crisp’s hud he survived. Should Gov. At kinson beelected there would prob ably be a contest for the governor ship between Robert L. Berner and A. S. Clay, the latter chairman of the state, democratic executive committee. Gov. Atkinson’s choice as senator would necessitate a spec ial election for Governor. Mr. Crisp had boon in intense pain all day, but no immediate danger was feared. His wife, to gether with a sanitarium nurse, was watching at his bedside. At about 1:30 o’clock Mr. Crisp was seized with another attack, and quite suddenly he passed into the calm of death. The watchers sent for Dr. Holmes. Judge Crisp’s two daughters, Mrs. Fred Davenport and Miss Bertha Crisp, and his two sons, Charles F. and Frederick were also summoned. When they entered the room Judge Crisp was still conscious. He gave them a look of recognition, breathed a few times and died. He could not speak. So ..uickly messenger come that the stricken ’'Family stood appalled in the death chamber. Mr. Crisp’s death while appa rently thus so sudden, was not un expected by the physicians who have been watching his health. He has been declining for several years. His last illness, however, was immediately occasioned by an attack of malarial fever, which he contracted at his home, Americus, a few weeks ago, but which yielded itself to treatment when he came to Atlanta and was considered con valescent and last Sunday had gone out for a drive. But when renewed health seemed within view he was attacked by congestion of the lungs, which, added to the weakness of the lungs and heart, caused by two previous attacks of pleuro-pneumonia, resulted in his death. Definite arrangements have not been completed concerning the funeral, but it is understood that his body will ultimately rest at his old home in Americus, among the people who loved so well to honor him. Honors befitting the high stations he has occupied in the state and nation will undoubtedly be paid his memory by the general assembly, which meets next Wed nesday. S. H, Dobbs Dead.

J. T. J. THE POPULIST COMMITTEE § Issues An Address. Populist Ad- \ vised to sttnd by Bryan. \ Week before last the Populist j National Executive Committee met 1 in Chicago and issued an address to 1 I the Populist party which is given 1 i below: To The People’s Party Voters of ( i the United States: —Your national committee indulged the hope that the patriotic actions of the people’s party in national convention, in subordinating the interests of the party to the success of the vital is sues involved in this campaign, would be met by equally unselfish devotion to a combination in the present Democratic party, and that a’l the friends of silver could pre sent a solid front against the min ions of greed by supporting one ticket, the truly co-operative ticket —Bryan and Watson. But this hope being disappointed, there were but two courses left, one of which must be adopted. First, to run a straight Bryan and Watson electoral ticket in every state, which, on account of the failure of the the Democratic party to support this ticket, would have effected the same result in this campaign that would have fol lowed the nomination of a straight Populist ticket at St. Louis, name ly, the election of McKinley and the triumph of the gold standard. The other course left open to your committee that was consistent with the action of the convention in nominating Mr. Bryan was to do every thing in its power to unite the voters of the country against . McKinley and to overcome the ob- ( stacles and embarrassments which, if the Democratic party had put ( the cause first and the party second, ( we would not have encountered. This could be accomplished only ■ by arranging for a division of the electoral vote in every state possi ble, securing so many electors for Bryan and Watson, and conceding so many to Bryan and Sewall. At the opening of the campaign this, under the circumstances, seemed the wisest course for your commit tee, and it is clearer today than ever that it was the only wise course if our votes were to be cast and made effective for the relief of an oppressed and outraged people . Following this line of policy, your committee has arranged elec toral tickets in three fourths of the states and will do all in its power to make the same arrangements in all of the states. By perfecting this arrangement, and every sincere opponent of the gold standard giv ing loyal support to these joint electoral tickets, the People’s party will not only secure in the electoral college for Bryan and Watson sev eral times as many votes as we could have possibly secured by making a straight ticket but we will secure the defeat of McKinley and the gold standard, which should now be the greatest desire of every cit izen who believes in the principles of true democracy. By this arrangement we can unite a large majority of the voters on our joint electoral tickets, there fore the only hope of the money power and the trusts is a division in our ranks. The Republican managers and their Democratic al lies realize this and are putting forth every effort to accomplish this end. Some of the Democrats of the revenue stripe, who are not yet weaned from the flesh pots of Egypt, but are sticklers of regular ity and are nominally supporters of Mr. Bryan while secretly and in every underhand way trying to ac complish his defeat, are advising against the joint electoral tickets, and failing in this, they advise the Democrats to scratch the People’s party electors, and already a few socalled Populists leaders are ad vising the rank and file of our par ty to strike back by refusing to support the Democratic electors of the joint electoral tickets. This is a trap set by the goldbugs, who that a few honest men ■ fallnn into it. These reports kbi*e the only ones that buoy hopes of the Republican t-r?. and the Democrats and are thus eu- WE.GftNT Please One But we do please 95 per cent of the people who come here looking for cheap cloth ing.

Therefore, we ap peal to every Populist, who may have been misled by such mistaken or false pleas of pretended loyalty to the People’s party into refusing to support such joint electoral tick ets, to stop and consider the result of such conduct and refuse to be influenced by either misguided or corrupt men.

ATTEMPTED HOLD UP. Our Rich Men Had Best Not Carry Their Money, Last Friday night a little after 8 o’clock, VV. T. Newton, the grocery merchant, locked up his store and started for home. When a little below John W. John son’s, on Broad street, he noticed a man following him in a suspicious mannner. To make sure he was not mistaken he quickened his steps a lit tle,-when the man in the rear did likewise. Mr. Newton was still a little uncer tain, and when he turned the corner at G. J. Wilson’s he stopped to see what the man meant. The unknown prowler came on until he bad got in easy distance of Mr. Newton when he threw a piece of iron pipe, about two feet long, at the latter, grazing his shoulder with it. Mr. Newton was unarmed, and at once called loudly to Mr. Wilson for a gun, when the unknown man ran. He jumped the fence near Mr. Moyers’ tan yard and disappeared in the dim light and was seen no more. Mr. Newton, with some assistance, searched the immediate vicinity for the would be robber but he could not be found. It was evidently his purpose to knock Mr. Newton down with the bar of iron and rob him. There can be no other conclusion, as Mr. Newton has no en emies so far as known. It is understood that there is a clue to these powlers and it is hoped that they may be caught and brought to justice. In the meantime if any one else is attacked in this manner it is suggested that a little cold lead, administered at the light spot, will have a wonderfully good effect.
