m 15 CENT PER WEEK. W. "W". BARK8UALB. PHOPKIETOK. Vot For Weaver. General Weaver has withdrawn all his Georgia appointments, and in a doleful epistle addressed to mankind in general anu xanKeeuom in partic ular, he declares he hs been mal treated at the South; that his wife has been struck w ith a rotten egg, and heCfln "ho longi r rifck his life in bo diingeroua a immuulty i He and Mrs, .Weaver and his friend, Mrs. Lease, who was speaking, or rather ' screeching for him, have all gone North to spread the tale of their dis aster. , The South . needs to be recon- . structed, ho has been outraged simply because he Is a Northern man. We are barbaiiana down this way and not worthy to unloose the latchet of a 1 loyal man's shoes. There can be no free speech or free expression of opinion at the South and conse quently he and hia have to flee the country, so cries Weaver as he runs. The, fact Is Brother Weaver lies about this whole matter and he now slanders the South as he oppressed and robbed Southern people when . they were powerless and lie had a little brief authority and ! strutted round in epaulettes and blue Uniform. When he came South a short while ago he would have been civilly treated if he had behaved with de cency. .People were williflg to go and hear him speak, - though his record was such that it wag brazen Impudence on his part to show his face before a Southern audience. In- stead of conducting himself jproperly and discussing the ineritsand de- t t.. l. I . .,1.11,,. V, laatlfla memo ui ma ymiiuim nuu 14110 now before the people he t&rust for ward as his principal spokesman his friend, Mrs. Lease, who Is not only a ' woman suffrage snrieker rrom way back, but who last year after a trip to Nashville wrote to one of her home 1 papers that she hoped to see the time ., when there would be black heels on white necks down South. , This fe male in a npeech ut Albany, Georgia, a few days since when Weaver and hh wile were on the platform with her pitched into some of the South ern papers and especially into the Atlanta Journal. She drag god up Weaver's Pulaski rec ord.- undertook to whitewash the l Federal officer, and declared that me douineru papers, especially me Atlanta Journal, hud slandered the great and good Weaver. ;The re porter for the Atlanta paper was present and came forward and said that lie had affidavits of respectable citizens of Tennessee to prove all that his paper had said. At this Mrs. Lease and Brother Weaver fumed and raised such a muss that a police man was called in and the reporter was arrested and taken from the stand. He (the reporter) then went outside the house and addressed a largo crowd there, lie road" his af fidavits showing Weaver's Pulaski record, and told them of the indignity that had boon offered him inside. , The crowd was so incensed that when Weaver came out . he was hooted at 5 a disturbance was raised, and, he suys, a rotten egg was thrown which struck his wife. We certainly do not justify the throwing of a rotten egg at any one, and if such a thing was done it was highly Improper. But what right has Weaver to bring a woman like this Mrs. Lease down to Insult South ern people? Is it not very trying and really a great risk for Weaver himself to corao among us with his record? What Southern man, who had abused Northern people as Weaver abused Tennesseans during the war, would dare to travel Nortn now? Would he besafoln any North ern town even if he behaved him self, and if he took along with him a blab-mouthed female to abuse and slander the people whom he had formerly oppressed, what chance would he stand of getting out of thp country with a whole skin ? The Southern people are human. They are willing to let by-gones be by- gones, but the man who crushed them under his heel thirty years ago ought not to come back now and ' fling insult in their faces. The fact Is that Weaver's trip South and Weaver's cinvass this year is all very plain. Ho is 4 Re publican in very thin disguise. If ho can stir up trouble, now at the South aud rouse the animosity of his North ern brethren, he may help to save to the Republicans some doubtful Northern State. If he can stir up bad blood among the Southerners them selves, and got them to wrangling among themselves, ho may divide the solid South and help Harrison to another four year in the White House. The thing for our Southern people to do, Is by all means to vote tor Weaver. Southern gentlemen al ways did like crow. It would speak well for the people of Tennessee especially to roll up a good vote for Weaver. It would be an endorse ment of his I'uluski record. It would show that the miserable lehels down th la way deserved all the bad treat ment they got at his hands thirty years ago. We hope, especially, for a big Weaver vote In Montgomery coun ty. The old rebels who left this coun- ty and went Into tho Southern army j need to be rebuked, and a vote for Brigadier General Weaver, late of Pulaski.'is the way to rebuke them. Southerners, Ttnnesscans old rebels, sons of old rebels, crowd toi the pons on the th of Jovember and vote for Weaver. - - , A .Candid Offer. When31r. Scott, or Kansas, was here last week to Oil his appointment an oner was made to divide time with him, which he rejected. Not withstanding the fact that he h id re fused to allow Ja discussion of the questions which he came to present he was rash enough in the course of his remarks to bold up the platform of the Republican and Democratic parties, and say he would give any man five dollars who would tell him the difference between the two plat forms on the currency question When he said this some one In the audience asked him to repeat his of fer, as it was desired then and there to take him up. Mr. Scott,, of Kan sas, seeing he was about to get him self into a snap, did not repeat his of fer, but went off Into a little burst of indignation at being interrupted and then abruptly changed the suDject. Five dollar bills seem to be plenti ful with Mr. Scott, of Kansas, who Is working in the interest of Harrison in this State. It Is perhaps not polite to enquire of him, he being a stranger here, who gives him his five dollar bills while he is working in the inter est of Harrison. As he and Weaver and Peffer and others of their kind trom tne jxorth nave always been so affable and polite and civil to the Southern folks, we will not embarrass Mr. Scott, of Kansas, by asking him who pays hhu five dollar bills for helping Harrison in this State. We will concede that he has a right to work for Harrison as he is doing and that it is none of our business who pays him. We need money down South, however, and five dollar bills are not to be despised. Mr. Scott, of Kansas, with his pension list of hundred ana liny millions a year (which Weaver proposes to raise to three hundred millions) has about drained us of our spare change, and.if it is not too late we would like to earn the five dollars which Mr. Scott, of Kan sas, offered to any oue who would show him the difference between the Republican and Democratic plat forms on the currency question. If Mr. Scott, of Kansas, has any friends left In this community who are will ing to stand up to his rash offer, we propose to deposit five dollars with Mr, C. P. Warfleld (a good man inough 011 on a mild spree now,) on condition that he (Mr. Scott, of Kan sas.) or some other p. rson in his be half, shall deposit a similar amount with Mr. Warfleld, and if after both sides have had a full hearing through the columns of this paper, we do not convince Mr. Warfleld that there is a plain difference between the plat forms of the two parties on the cur rency question, and a difference de cldedly in favor of more money for the people, we will forfeit our five dollars. If we do convince Mr. War fleld that there is a difference in the two platforms on the currency ques tion and a difference on the side oi more money for the people, then Mr Warfleld is to give us the five dol Iars deposited with hjm by Mr, Scott, of Kansas, which will help to pay the awful pension debt hereto fore imposed on us by Scott and his friends.- We make this as a serious proposition and will leave it open for ten days. If Mr. Warfleld will not act as umpire in this case we will agree to take any other plain, honest, Third party man who stands well among his neighbors, and who will promise to render a fair decision in the matter. We will agree moreover to select committee of five voters In this county, of whom two shall be chosen by us, two by Mr. Scott or his friends here, while Mr. Finis Foust, 'presi dent of the Montgomery county Al llance, shall be the fifth man. We will allow a column and a half a week on each side of the question for four weeks for discussion. If at the end of that time the comjmittee by a majority vote dot s not deride that the Democratic platform on the cur rent question is better for the pec pie than the platform either of the Republican party or the People's party we will agree to donate twen ty-five dollars to the Montgomery county Alliance, to be expended as its officers may see fit We make the Above offer because we consider it a perfectly safo offer. We have never said one word to Mr. Fouat or Mr. Warfleld on the subject here mentioned, but we know them both to be honorable gentlemen who will render an honest decision on any question submitted to them. It would be hard for us to raise twenty five dollars atttr paying the awful pension demands of Mr. Scott, of Kansas, but for the good of the cause and of the ieople who have always sustained us wo are willing to risk that amount. We want the atten tion of our people called to the plat forms of the three parties, especially on the currency question. Is the five dollar proposition of Mr. Scott, of Kansas, still open? If so we accept it. Does the Montgomery rouuty Alliance need twenty-five dollars? If so it rangcttho money by showing that the Democratic platform Is uot tho best now before the iecple on the currency question, Select the committee and open tho discussion. Watch; ON RECORD. "In confutation of these i and all future calumnies, by,way of anticipa tion, I shall make to you a profession of my political faith, in confidence that you will consider every imputa tion on me, if of a contrary complex ion, as bearing on its front the mark of falsehood and calumny. . . I am for free commerce with all nations." Thomas Jefferson to Elbridge Qerry. "We denounce Republican protec tion as a fraud, taxing the labor of the great majority for the few. We declare it to be a fundamental principle of the Democratic party that the Federal Government has no right to impose and collect tariff duties except for the purpose of revenue only, and we de mand that the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of the Government when honestly and economically - administered." Na tional Democratic Platform. "If I am to name the typical Ameri can, the man who loves and believes in his country beyond everything else the man who, determining once in what direction his duty leads, cannot be Bwerved from the path the man who is doggedly persistent in, what he believes to be riirht the man who thinks not of self, but of his country and its needs. I would name Grover Cleveland. What he has accomplish ed Is the very highest tribute to the possibilities of American citizenship.' Chaunoey Depew, Republican. "Our workingmen are still told the tale, oft repeated, in spite of. its de monstrated falsity, that the existing protective tariff is a boon to them, and that under its beneflcient operation wages must increase, while as they lis tened scenes are enacted in the very abiding place of h igh protection that mock the hopes of toil and attest the tender mercy the workingmen receive from those rendered selfish and sordid by unjust governmental favoritism." Orover Cleveland. "I am sorry, Indeed, to hear of any Southern Alliance Democrat going in to a third party, for it means, to my mind, ruin to the South, turning our Southland over again to Republican rule, and I hope before the final step is taken our brethren will reconsider and think what the result will be and where it will evidently leadto-ruin ruin, ruin." Governor Buchanan last April. "I don't give rebels in the South vouchers. I would rather furnish rope to hang every d m one of them." Qen. Weaver. Peonies1 party nominee for President. "I Am inclined to think that there will eventually come in this country a dictatorship. There is a growing de mand for a strong government that will be able to protect all of its citi zens, rich ana poor, wnite ana dibok alike. I am working with the Repub lican party because I believe it is the best instrument to secure this condi tiou of jiiHtice to all. Iu fact there is nothing better for us." Fred Doug lass. 'I have read that bill with care and attention more than twenty times. . have read it in the light of calm con sideration. And I repeat that if it were presented to me now, with the alternative of party support or party dismissal I should not vote for the bill. A more infamous bill, in my judg ment, never passed the threshold of tho doors of the Senate. Avowedly in the interest of good government, it was instigated, iu my judgment, by men whoso interest it was to prevent a full expression of the will of voters at the polls."

Senator Sherman renewed his at tack and refused to be convinced even by the oratory of the Iowa Sen ator. He wanted the Senate to do the straightforward thing, and not fizzle about it. "Give the Fair $.5,000,000, and do not make believe that you are de ceiving yourselves In giving it a 70- cent silver dollar, or two85-cent half- dollars." If the children cry lor It, as the Senator has said they did "Why not give them Castoria?" said Sherman. He knew that it was popular thing with the little ones more popular he thought than even the souvenir half-dollars would be The galleries looked down in surptise as these remarks came from Sherman and Congressmen who entered the chamber just as Mr. Sherman uttered them, dropped Into the vacant chairs nearest the door. e22,d2w j $500 Reward.
