NOTES FROM THE CONFERENCE.
To one closo observer of an op¬
posite political faith, the national
conference presented a striking
example of earnestness, while the
committee’s report was being de¬
bated, lie said, “and to think how
many thousands of republicans
and democrats delude themselves
into the idea that you fellows can
never carry this country. Why,
air, that dosperate earnestness and
marked desire to bo conservative
yet positive, charitable to back¬
sliders, yet firm and commanding
them to sin no more is enough in
itself to show that in your party,
you have all the elements for suc¬
cess—for right some day will be
might—it cau’t always be like it is
now.”
***
The nowspaper boys of Nashville
for ouce were disappointed. You
could see thnt in conversation.
“Whore are all those wild-eyed,
long hairod and chin whiskered
fellows," one asked. "Those peo¬
ple here are a revelation to me.
They are just like a national dem¬
ocratic or republican crowd, except
there are no blind tigers in the
rear room nnd I don’t see any
Ward political bums hanging
around the edges of the crowd.
“You fellows are wrong of course
to ray way of thinking, but I can
tell you one thing, Nashville nover
saw populists before—we have al¬
ways had the ranting, agitating
element. Hundreds of voters here
will study your platform and prin¬
ciples since they fail to see that
you are the anarchists you have
beeu pictured.”
***
The fusion apologists were large¬
ly in evidence before the confer¬
ence. They had come prepared to
take advantage of any break and
to ply their trade. To see how
they tumbled right nnd left into
the baud wagon when they found
how solid the sentiment of the
cAiilereuce was, was amusing to
one who knew their history.
V
“Buzz Saw” Morgan is now “the
man of all work.” As secretary
of the executive committee, he has
his bauds fall, but that he will do
his work well goes without saying.
Morgan is a hustler and a com¬
pound specimen of that type of
men. His address is Hardy, Ark.,
and he uever fails to answer letters.

Vice-President Mays, of the Re¬
form presn, came in from Wash¬
ington—where the reform press
will meet next year. He was an
entertaining talker and a good
presiding officer—aud will make
the editors at home—if they can
get out to Washington.

Paper.
THEY ARE HARD HIT.
Col. Wm. S. Whittaker, of Pike
in a letter to the Peoples’
Party Paper, reviews the political
situation a3 it presents itself today
showing why the democrats are
ranting and uneasy about our
meeting at Nashville, and also
shows that it is democracy and not
populism thnt is dead.
He says in part:
1 notice that the democratic papers
are once more anxious about I he mor¬
tality of the peoples’ parly. We have
died already so many times, just for
their amusement, that the temptation
to do so again is very strong. Our
kindly accommodation, natures are prone to such harm¬
less and no rpology
for our resurrection occasionally is re¬
quired. The only is objection that to failing
asleep once more where we have now
readied a stage the fate of our
republic—of free and the equitable triumphof govern¬
ment—depends on pop¬
ulism. Not boastful pride, but simple
candor impels I lie declaration here
that our party will nominate and elect
a president in 1900, and will control
every branch of this government be¬
fore the charters of national banks ex¬
pire in 1902. We are making ready
for this great in struggle—planting “iniddle our
standard tlie of the road.”
Here ail fnay rally who love country
more than party, or principles office. more

* WHY THEY RANT.
This patriotic purpose, now pro¬
claimed ill advance, lias occasioned all
this democratic solicitude for our prov¬
erbial morality. The sudden awaken
ening of a corpse is terrifying indeed,
and our enemies are stricken with
horror by our discarded burial robes.
They are confounded, worse than at
Babel, their with a leaders confusion of all tongues.
Even are at sea,
though like Pythians they displayed
great cunning in translating tiie Del¬
phic oracles dead of democracy. alive, To profound them
populism, or is Watson a
mystery. Some say tlmt was
repudiated will by our convention in At¬
lanta, and now abandon the party,
and its death is sure. Others declare
that Garter, having tailed to lend the
convention break the to ranks repudiate Watson, will
and the proposed
burial will take place. In fact both of
these conflicting statements are made
in the same leading paper but on two
different days, and thousands of good
democrats actually believe both to be
true. Flat contradictions have charm¬
ed them so Jong that they can not re¬
sist. Some men love to be humbug¬
ged, as Barnum declared.
DEMOCRACY THE CORPSE.
They, (declarations from democratic
papers) also, show why the Gonstitu
tion and other papers are so anxious
to make it appear that there is a great
split in our party. A political funeral
is in order, nnd a blind man can see
that democracy is the corpse. Our
plain and earnest declaration at Nash¬
ville, together with the appointment
of a committee of safety makes it sure
Unit our party principles will never be
fused or bartered away. Our people
are united, our banner is waving aloft,
and all plebeans will know where to
rally. As in the days of Tiberius
Gracchus nnd his successors, onr cause

NASHVILLE CONFERENCE.
The Louisville Courier-Journal
one of the “head-leaders” of the
democratic press, gives its version
of the national conference of the
peoples’ party in the following
plain and honest terms. Unlike
the Constitution the Courier-Jour¬
nal has a reputation for veracity
and fairness. Hero is what it says:
“The action of the national confer¬
ence of the peoples’ party today in un¬
animously adopting tiie address aud
plan for the creation of n national or¬
ganization committee entire to take eharge at
once of the peoples’ party of the
United States conveys but one mean¬
ing to the populists of the country
absolute vindication of the independ¬
ent anti-fusion position of Tom Wat¬
of son during the late campaign in St. the face
the traitorous sell out at Louis
by the Butler-Alien combination. The
plan, broad in scope and liberal in its
terms, offers an opportunity for
those populists who were deceived into
fusion deals to return to the party on
one condition only—a rebaptism in the
populist faith nnd a pledge to follow in
the future no more fusion leaders.
“The national organization commit¬
tee, composed of three members from
each state, with its own executive com¬
mittee, all selected today and fully in¬
dorsed by men of known standing as
populists, will at once take up tiie
work of reorganization on strictly in
populistic lines in every state the
union where the party lias representa¬
tion. This the practically national leaves Senator
Butler and recent execu¬
tive committee out of a job, for if this
committee elected by the conference
carries out its work municipal effectively, organiza¬ all
state, county and
tions will work directly under its sup¬
ervision. The next national conven¬
tion will be called by this committee.
“The adoption by the initiative and
referedum and imperative mandate
which was made an essential feature
of the plan, provides for the future for
changes in committees and executive
officers of the party wherever the vot¬
ers of the party demand it. This rad
the ical positiou practically restores itself to at

A Suggestion or Two.
Editor Kkcord:
Will you give me space for a few
lines, and as I vvssli to tote fair with
all parties, will say I saw a piece taken
from an account of the Bartow county
farms, which I endorse. That the
farmer demand all guanos used by
them be put up in cot ton sacks as it
will consume a large surplus of our
cotton that would enable us to get a
a better price for the remainder. It is
a fact that we will raise it, as we bavt
drifted into the channel and can’t get
out of the old ruts. I will illustrate a
little. I will use this year about forty
tons of guano. Multiply that by ten
sacks per ton gives us 400 sacks; 2 lbs
to the sack gives us 800 lbs cotton that
sold at 7c, makes 658. That is consumed
at home, and we will suppose the sacks
I used cost at least $30; add that to 65(1
makes 688 difference to the cotton
raiser which would be enough to pay,
or nearly pay, his taxes. Some will
say, “VVliat will become of the manu¬
facturer of the guano sacks that we
now use?” Let him manufacture it
of our cotton, or do like Bill Arp,
do the best he can. The farmer made
biggest mistake ot his life when he
using cotton bagging. If
we had used it for guano sacks, cotton
bagging and all other tilings, as far as
we could, our condition would have
been much better than it now is. The
has many ways to spend
money, and but one or two ways to get
it. Cotton, wool and lumber is about
the only things that brings it in this
part of the world. Well, yes, one other
way is by some old New England loan
which has proven so fatal
to many thousand acres of Georgia’s
lands.
As little as people think, there is to¬
day thousands of acres of land in
nnd surrounding counties
that have mortgages on them that will
never be taken up except by the sheriff.
It is time we were thinking There are
fewer land owner’s now than ever be¬
fore. I would, in my weak way,advise
all men that have no borne of their own
to buy one if it is not but ten acres, and
live on a scale that will warrant him
to pay for it.
Would like to write more but fear
this will be committed to the waste
basket. M.
Tom Watson's recent editorials
on Catholicism have raised the
ire of Catholics, everywhere, and
the democratic press, which,hasn’t
the backbone to oppose them,
though they would wrest onr gov¬
ernment out of the hands of
Americans in toto, are making a
great fuss over it. But “our Tom”
doesn’t care a fig who gets me.d.
He has ideas about things and
doesn’t fear to express ’em. Ho
points out evils wherever he finds
them, regardless of the cost—and
this is why we love him so.—

of those believing in true Ameri¬
canism and does not lift a hand.
Those who attempt it are over¬
whelmed with abuse and slander.
All the slums of hell are arrayed
against them and they are com¬
pelled to abandon the contest. I
believe that every one should be al¬
lowed to worship God according to
the dictates of his own conscience.
I would not deprive any human be¬
ing of his right to do so. But I say
today that the members of the
Catholic church in foreign nations
and Mexico have thrown off the
yoke of the Jesuits aud it has be¬
come this absolutely necessary that
nation should lead a revolt
against this infamous organiza¬
tion.
The ablest book printed in this
nation for many years, a rival of
Henry D. Lloyd’s Wealth and Com¬
monwealth, can uever be seeu in a
library or bookstore. It is entitled
the Foot Prints of the Jesuits and
and the author is Col. R. W.
Thompson of Terre Haute, Ind.
If our people would read that able,
historic and impartial book, every
one of them would hoist the flag
of resistance of all foreign domin¬
ation and speedy deliverance from
all alien domination. If we cculd
rally under the name of the Amer¬
ican party we can be delivered
from all the wolves of the peoples’
party and carry the nation in 1900.
Thousands of liberal Catholics
would join ns. They are hostile
to the baleful influences that sur¬
round them and they would glad¬
ly make the fight, as their brothers
have in all nations of the earth to
be delivered from, the most deadly
influence that pervades the earth.
I wrote this, after m.uch thought.
For four years I have known that
we might had have won our battle if
we been braye. We would
not lose fifty thousand votes in the
United States; we would gain mil¬
lions. The history of the last few
years shows it. It is no knownoth

If thie nation is to be saved, we
must forever destroy these baleful
foreign influences; we must line

ence, the others will remain to

men who would give their lives to

enlist the aid of orators, of a splen¬
did literary bureau. We can add
an army with banners to our cause.

go out from Nashville, with all
this prestige and power, and yet I
fear that our people will lie still
and slumber and let the jugger¬

I have never failed to speak the
truth I do not believe that there is
but this one way out of our condi¬
tion as a peoples’ party, and
though it may lose me every friend
I have, I say the words in this ar¬
ticle, because before God I want
to save my country and bring
back prosperity and liberty to all
the people. In doing so I make
no war on any church or creed,
that has not been done ten thous¬
and times before. I can show all
our people, Catholic or Protestant,
that this fearful iniquity should
be driven from onr shores and
that its machinations are at the
bottom of more than half our ca¬
lamities.
I have done my duty to our peo¬
ple and give this warning, as I
have given them before. This is
the only out, our only hope, and I
believe the only chance to win.
It is an honest chance, God
will smile upon it and all true
men and women will bless the day
that gives our delegates to Nash¬
ville the nerve to take this course.
