THE TRIBUNE.
PUBLISHED WEEKLY,
A'. R. DODSON, Editor.
Entered at the Bachman Boa to dice eecond
elm* mail matter.
Buchanan, Ga., July 29, 1898.
In reapor.nc to the requests of my friends I
will walce the race for the Stato Senate from
this the 3dtli Senatorial district. I ask tlio sup-
fiort of the voters of I’olk, Paulding elected, and Harai- the
*on, and pledge myself, anti if to render best
people, of this, district state, trie ser¬
vice in my power, .TonK I. Ftillwoop.
A vote for Hogan is a vote for a
good state government.
Our ticket is gaining in popu¬
larity every day' Fall in line.
Every lover of good government
in Haralson county should rally to
the support of the populist ticket.
The democrats of Kansas have
endorsed the populist stale ticket
They aro doing that very thing
right hero in Haralson county, too.
Many have fallen in line since last
Saturday, who say they are with
us till victory is won in October.
Now that Col. Ed Griffith has
been nominated by the democrats
to oppose Capt. J. J. Beall for leg¬
islative honors, we’d like the beet
in the world that those gentlemen
meet in joint debate in the near
future. Challenge him, Ed ; chal¬
lenge him!
Hobson, the greatest hero of the
war, is a populist; but this is not
strange. His noble mother has
another son at home, as devoted ar
the hero of Santiago, who is at
present campaigning with Con¬
gressman Howard against demo¬
cratic misrule in Alabama —The
Augusta Tribune.
A good platform for the demo¬
crats to have adopted last Satur¬
day was constructed by St.
Paul in hi9 third epistle to the
Phillippians, and is as follows:
“Forgetting those things which
are behind, and reaching forth
unto those things which are before,
I press toward the mark of the
prize.”
One of the most tonching inci¬
dents of the confederate reunion
m Atlanta last week was the pre¬
sentation of the two daughters of
Gen. Hood to the veterans. Strong
men who had fought with Hood
wept like children ut the sight ofthe
two lovely daughters of that gal¬
lant hero and noble hearted gen¬
tleman.—Rome Tribune.
The reform .papers should be
supported by reformers, but, on
the other hand, the reform papers
should help the peoplo along on
live issues. Those papers should* 1
make every line count m giving
the people information to use on
the stump and in conversation.
They must give the peoplo facts
and arguments on political and
economical questions, if they want
enthusiastic support, and to do
good.
There are little fellows running
fll*! over Georgia this year as can¬
didates for the legislature, or with
a promise of futuro political pre¬
ferment, or with the understanding
that they work for some certain
man for senator or superior court
judge. They are. not proposing
any relief for the people. No, sir.
It is the same old hero worship, or
ring talk. If the farmers, which
ever party they belong to, were
game enough to call these young¬
sters down on important issues,
Georgia would forge to the front,
where she rightfully b.ffongs. If
every farmer who attends the
meetings gotten up for these place-
hunters, would write down two or
three important questions and de¬
mand straight answers, these little
fellows would go back home. Try
it, brother; try it!
WILL DO THE WORK. •
In past, history, it has, at vari¬
ous times, taken years of bloody
war to put down despotic power
and other evils that have been
forced upon the people, until they
could no longer bo borne.
The overshadowing evil in this
country at the present timo, is the
money power, which is the father
of all trusts—combines which
make millionaires out of the few,
and tramps of the many.
This monster evil, the money
power, can be put down in one
day’s time, at the ballot box.
Slave power hud to be crushed
because morality, humanity and
justice demanded it.; but it took
four years to do it. The money
power is ten-fold more ferocious,
and must also be crushed for the
samo reason sb above given.
It can be done in one day. Let’s
do it with our ballots. It. ib the
only civilized wrty to do it! Jus¬
tice, humanity and civilization all
demand it; and they demand that
it be done in a civilized, humane,
just and peaceful manner—at the
ballot box. Serve God and serve
your country by voting for reform
at the next election.
A BUSINESS TALK.
Of this issue of Thb Tribune,
sample copies are sent to many
persons whose namea are not on
our books. Persons who are now
subscribers ask that samples ba
sent, saying they are persona who
are likely to subscribe,* and
help to send kindling wood farther
along the line. But in every in¬
stance-these names appearing in
our‘'honor roll” are other order¬
ed by the parties themselves or
by some friend, so don’t be afraid
to take the paper out of the office,
fearing a bill will follow—such
will not be the case.
If you are opposed to a national
debt, that exists only to give for¬
eign capital and suckers-cut-of-in¬
dustry a chance to live on money
which, as interest money, should
remain in this country, we ask
you to help us m our fight in your
behalf.
If you are in favor of a reform
_ and deal political
party a new in
matters in this state and county,
we ask you to help ns, that we
may in turn help the noble army
of patriots and reformers, who be¬
lieve that the quickest and surest
way to bring a reform to a head is
to unite. We ask you to help us
in this, the effort we are making,
not for personal benefit, but for
the greatest good to the greatest
number. The old party style is to
work for the greatest profit for the
fewest in number.
Organize refdrm clubs all over
the county ; get the people to read¬
ing and thinking for themselves
and the fight is won.
The howling politicians ask:
“Where does the fanner stand?”
Why, you poor tool, the farmer
don’t stand at all, he doesn’t get
time to stand, If the farmers stood
in solid phalanx, against monopo¬
ly, monopoly’s ribs would soon be
sticking through its vest. W« re¬
peat it; the farmer has no time to
stand. He ib forced to keep tread¬
ing—-ter sow to reap and mow, pre¬
paring the food to feed the corpor¬
ation' hog.—Ex
“ERRATIC ”
The populists of the 5tli district
have nominated Judge James K
Hines to oppose Lon Livingston
for congress. Thu pops are run¬
ning far the ablest, best man—who
but for his orrattic politics would
be elected.—Dalton Argue (dem.)
What “erratic politics” does
Judge Hines advocate that Living¬
ston does not? Will the Argue, or
any one else, name a single politi¬
cal issue on which they differ in
their public utterances?
The only difference in the poli¬
tics of the two men is that Judge
Hines is honest and sincere in his
political beliefs, whilst Livingston
is not. Livingston bartered his
political opinions for an office at
the hands of .the democrats for a
moss of pottage. This Judge Hines
nor no other houest man will ever
do. No, if he is not elected it will
not, be “erratic politics” that de¬
feats Judge Hines, but it will be
the power and unscrupulous meth¬
ods of the gamblers and political
mountebanks whom Livingston
servos that can justly claim the
victory.—Dallas Herald.
“Errratic,” applied to populists
is good compared to 189*2 when
Weaver, the people s party nomi¬
nee, tha same for whom Billie Bry¬
an, the present democratic “gawd”
voted, was rotten-egged out of the
south. Then, and for several years
after, the democratic vocabulary
was exhausted to find vile epithets
to apply to populists.
“Erratic,” Webster says, mettDB
“roving about, eccentric. 2. Mov¬
ing, not fixed.”
The Isrealites, like the masses of
Americans, were under Egyptian
(democratic) bondage, and the
great Jehovia raised up a Moses to
lead them into the laud of Canaan.
Doubtless the democrats of that
day (they claim to have* existed
since the foundation ofthe world)
called Mosee “erratic.”
Later, a Savior was born to save
the people from sin and a pit of
hell-fire. About the first act of
his life was to make a cat-o’nine-
tails and beat the money changers
—the usurers—-from the temple.
Doubtless our democratic friends
of that day thought the Christ
“erratic.’’
Tho English people, the demo¬
crats in particular, must have
thought tho American people of
1770 “erratic. ’
Old Tom Jefferson and Tom
Payne were “erratic” to the pluto¬
crats when they insisted, that “all
men, of all right, should bo free
and equal.”
Old Abe Lincoln, and those who
agreed with him, wore “erratic”
when they insested upon the free¬
dom of they American negroes
Bob Toombs, Alex Stephens
Chas. J. Jenkins, Ben Hill, Dr.
Felton and other whigs of Georgia
were not only “erratic” to the
democrats of their day, hut they
were a thorn in the flesh.
Later, Emory Speer-—the Mosee
of tho present age—-was “erratic”
to an alarming extent.
Now, when corporate power, and
plutocratic rule has become un¬
bearable, and our republican gov¬
ernment tottering, through demo¬
cratic mismanagement, such men
as Tom Watson, Bill Peek Jim
Hines, Hogan and one hundred
thousand other white men cf Geor¬
gia—the empire of the south—are
“erratic to a degree that becomes
desperately dangerous to the
bosses. These men, and those who
agree with them, are “roving about,
moving” about among the people
1 trying to teach them to “flee from
the wrath to come;” trying to lead
them out of Egyptian (democrat¬
ic) bondage; trying to save the re¬
publican government, bequeathed
to us by the blood, sacrifices and
sufiering of our forefathers. But,
of course, they are “erratic” to

If the Ar^us and otlur cimlin
pated democrats of Georgia would
their thinkshop for fifteen
minutes t-»sch day they would soon
become “erratic”—get a move on
themselves for liberty, the founda¬
tion stone of moral, social and ed-
ucational advancemont. Think

Alliance Flow boy.
NOBODY IS SURPRISED.
The teachers are finding there is
no money in the state treasury to
pay them off with. There has been
too much guano tag speculation,
too many heelers employed at $40
an hour, etc., etc., etc. Too many
rape circulars printed, too many
attorney generals allowed to slip
their hand into the public money
box, and take out $2,500 fees to
which they were not entitled. Too
many frollocing trips to Mexico
to see a Sunday bull fight. Too
many junketing trips to New
York to bond the state at the pub-
lie expense, and one thousand
other things too numerour to give
space to in a newspaper of this
sice. All that we are surprised at
is that Mie stuff lasted as long as
it did.—- Statesboro Star.
W. W. WILSON.
"Bill” Wilson, of the Buford
Alliance Plowboy,. dressed in a
bran new suit of confederate grey,
was a conspicuous figure at. the
Georgia Weekiy Press
at Newnan, Ga., on Tuesday last-,
and on Wednesday had tho honor
of being the first veteran in full
confederate grey suit, not omitting
the white hat. which becomes him
well, to enter the club house on
the Piedmont grounds and be en¬
tertained by a few members of the
committee who are busy making
preparations for the grand reun¬
ion of confederate veterans 20-23rd
He was escorted through the grand
dining and entertainment hall,
into which the exposition govern¬
ment building has been turned a
veritable hotel with accommoda¬
tions for 1.200, Wilson bore his
honors like an old soldier. He
was accompanied by his Mount eldest
daughter.—Protectionist,
