THE 1 TAILOR GREAT CLOTHIER UDiversal Conation 1DFRD N1SERY PULASKI. The rcople Chiukiplofi l7nmjLka IAi ItluuufMiturecl by 1IU Kll.iule. t. My nttention has been called to the publication in varions Deiaocraticijapera concerning uiy administration m M'jtP inandcr of the post at Pulaski,. Tcnn.. in the winter of 1S'M. Tba charge that J ever iuipriFoued any one aud then .re leased him for a moneyed consideration, or that 1 ever oppressed any one, male or female, or ever charged the people of that locality for passes through the lines sf the Federal army, or that I ever in any manner extorted money from the people of that locality and appropriated the same to my own use, is on unmiti gated lie. 1 was assigned to the command of the post at Pulaski by order of General G. M. Dodge, commander of the left wing of the Sixteenth army corps. Upon en tering that part of Tennessee General Dodge issued an order and made it pub lic in wlii.-h ho stated that his army was in need of supplies of every kind, and that if the people would bring in supplies vouchers would be rendered for the same without making any in quiries as to the loyalty or disloyalty of the parties. The people brought in their supplies, and vouchers were given, and they were ail paid by the assistant com missary general, Cyrus C Carpenter. The left wing. Sixteenth army corps, consisting of several divisions of troops, was encamped at Pulaski during the winter, with General Dodge in com mand. During my administration as com mander of the post a large number of refugees came -within our lines. They came from the Confederate army in Ala bama and elsewhei'e. They were totally without supplies and destitute, and at that time they could not be allowed to depart without restraint. General Dodge issued an order commanding me to make a levy of $?,(XX), as I now remem ber, from wealthy citizens living in the vicinity, for the purpose of paying for supplies necessary for the sustenance of these refugees. In obedience to that com mand, 1 issued au order reciting the au thority under which 1 was acting, and served it cpou certain parties, doubtless the parries named in the circular sent out from Pulaski. The money collected was iaid direct to Colonel Cyrus C Car penter, assistant commissary general of the left wing. Sixteenth army corps, and did not pass through my hands, if I re1 member correctly, and the wants of the refugees were supplied. Ia no event was one cent of it retained by myself. General Djdge is well known to the people of the whole country, being at present in charge of an extensive rail way system ia the southwest, and Colo nel CarpeuU r has since served as an officer in the treasury department, as a member of congress and as governor of tho ttate of Iowa. To those officers, and to all others who knew me iu the army. 1 rvfer ail questions concerning my rec titude and honorable conduct as a soldier. There is not a human being man, wom an or child, living or dead that I ever oppressed or mistreated while I was iu the service of my country, i did cot dispossess any ou6 of his dwelling bouse and appropriate the same for officers quarters during my stay in Pulaski. My headquarters were in the court bouse, and I boarded with a private family, that of Mrs. Ballenryne. The ofScers of my regiment lived in their tents in line with their respective com panies. The several divisions, brigades and regiments encamped at Pulaski were not under my authority not even my own regiment while I was in com mand of the post, it is manifestly ab surd and silly to charge to my account the misfortunes and misdeeds incident to the military occupancy of th-t part of the country. It is promulgated for an evil purpose and is too transparent to deceive any one. The confiscation of property is cruel, the taking of life is cruel, every phase of war is cruel, and unfortunately our unhappy conutry had a surfeit of it. For my standing in the community and during the time 1 commanded the said post 1 refer to Mr. Harris, the Ballea tyne family. Rev. Robert Caldwell and others who lived in Pulaski at the time of my sojourn there. My association with the people was as peaceful and fraterual as possible during tho existence of hostilities and remarkably so in all that region of the country. No comphiints were ever made to me concerning the matter now hatched up. and so far as I know none were ever made to General Dodge. The troops at Pulaski were under the command of General Dodge, and I was acting under his authority myself. Had I been guilty of tho outrages charged ho would, upon being made acquainted with the fact, have removed me instantly. J. B. Wea ver in Southern Alliance Farmer. A Dravo Woman. The People's party nominee for attor ney general in Montana, Miss Ella L. Knowles, is a political hustler. She ad dressed pnblio meetings at different points in the state nearly every week day iu August and will keep it up until election. Sometimes she speaks two aud three times in twenty-four hours. The women taking part in the independ ent political movement are not saying much ubout their "rights,' but they are seizing thorn and holding thorn with a firm hand. Chicago Vanguard.

HJtot IUriaUUd, Will Dlafrme ,p rfr N'na of Uwrcla. The Democratic partj-lh tJflorfiare eonduetfbe; tb ntojt 4infmu6ng, villaia-. ous, "and unprincipled, campaign eror crteu a. uii. . coin parry, ana press' have doutfttrtd 'thus early- in tue'eonteet the nttK depths f degreda tion and dishonor to which they will descend in order to perpetuate a reign of ignorance and repression. It began some time ago with an assault on Wat con and Simpson by Senator Gordon and that pious woman slanderer. Gov ernor Northern, and has intensified npon these lines ever since. Nothing is too vile, slanderous or abusive to b. used, aud that, too, by those who as snme to wear the garmeuts of respecta bility. If this is southern Democracy, free from disguise or concealment, then God pity the people of that section. If this is southern chivalry, robbed of its glint and glamour, how completely and wick edly the world has been deceived. If such infamous methods are based upon the distinction of being a "Georgian. let those who live in the slums and vilest sections of the country thank heaven they were not born to live in that state. If this wicked, cruel onslaught does not react npon the party making it, jus tice and fairness has fled and the milk of hnman kindness is exhausted. Such conduct surely proves the crying need of reform and discloses the courage and self sacrifice of those engaged in the ef fort It is hard to believe that the common people the farmers and laborers of the empire state of the south, those who are to be the final arbiters of this great con test, will consent to such an atrocious and outrageous course, since it is an open and unblushing attempt to coerce free speech and liberty of conscience. If ancient Bourbon Democracy must rule in Georgia, if this political oli garchy must dictate the political princi ples of the people without objection or even criticism then indeed is the rule of the majority at an end and the sum of all villainies accomplished. Let the fair minded people of this great state arouse themselves to this danger and de mand that these outrages npon common decency shall cease. National Watch- BtaMMt for the Rerolt. The reasons for the present revolt which is going to sweep the Republican party ont of power are to be found in the record. The record is bad; Presi dent Harrison is opposed to free coinage, the party is opposed to free coinage. votes against it persistently, and as the people of Colorado are almost to a man iu favor of free coinage, they are going to vote for the People's party electors without any ifs or ands about it. They are going to vote for Weaver and Field because both the old parties are opposed to free coinage and the new party is in favor of it The contingencies of "un less" and "-provided" cut no figure, but "because" affords the true key to the situation. Do you understand, gentle men? "becauae." And so now there is no occasion to vote blind, and there is no use to pre varicate or be, if you wish to vote against free coinage vote for Harrison, and if you wish to vote for free coinage vote for General James B. Weaver. Greeley (Cola) Tribune. Getting nndly Mixed. It seems that the festive darky is go ing into all parties aud the place that now knows him will soon know him no more. It is welL No race ought to be arrayed on one side in a republic. A negro preacher refused to marry a 'Democratic nigger" at Salisbury re cently. Negroes have organized Cleve land clubs in some places, but the best evidence comes from Alabama. In th. recent election there nearly all the ne groes voted for Jones, the straight Bour bon Democrat, against Kolb Alliance men. This shows conclusively that there are changes going on. We cannot sav a word against this. It is the only com mon sense way to settle the race ques tion. Let the races divide in politics and the race question is a thing of the past. Raleigh Progressive Farmer. Not Terr Sick. With a flourish of trumpets the old party papers have announced Hon. Igna tius Donnelly, of Minnesota, sick or about to retire from the campaign. The chief tain is neither dead nor sleeping. He bounds, armor girt, into the arena in a ringing letter which concludes thus glowingly: We are advancing to certain triumph. The wiping out of the VT.UUO majority given to Cleve land in Alabama four rears ago, anil the car rying of that state for tbe People arty ticket by 3U.UUU majority, I snttlcicnt evidence that the whole line of eouthorn states will go down In November nest Uke a row of bricks, white the Republicans weet of the ULoissinpl will scarcely have enough ah red. of popular sup port lert to cover tneir nakeduea aa they stand shivering before tho bar of public ooln- lon. No, Mr. Editor, Ibis is not the time for tbe People's party of Minnesota to disrupt, dissolve or absquatulate. Yonrs la excellent health, Ionatic Donnelly. Teller's Declarations. Senator Teller declared Mr. Harrison to be the "most potent and unrelenting foe to silver coinage in pubuo life. Senator Wolcott declared that his (Har rison's) "re-eleotion would depress silver fifty cents per ounce. This was before the Republican national convention. And now Senator Teller declares that there "is no relief from the present de pressing influence to bo ax poo tod from the Democratio party.'' We must theu vote for Weaver, and we wilL Du- rango (Colo.) Herald. California Alarmed. Weaver's trip to California has cer tainly alarmed the Republicans. The Democrats rather enjoy the commotion, and as the labor vote isgoingfor Weaver and many Blaine Republicans are sulk ing in their tents like Achillea "by the funding sea," the Republicans of Call fornia are in a fair way to ask in No vember, "Where are we at?"

Over a million laborers are ont"fcf work; as many more have been' forced into tramps; the magazine writers and scholars of the land are crowding to the front with various remedies , for an alarming crisis in our hiUry; Europe wonders at starvation in the wealthiest of nations, and does not know what to make of Russian despotism in the land of the free.

'In all I have made, I think, thirty-nine talks. If I drovw by a 'tore and saw five or six or more mn there I would jump out and talk with them and explain the people's .party teachings.

Galveston Cor. Dallas News. - j New Jereey ttt'Xiae. ' The People's party of New Jersey held its state convention at. Trenton, ,nd nominated an electoral and guberna torial ticket. The only state official chosen at the polls in New Jersey is the governor, who appoints all the. other state officers. Benjamin Bird, of Hun terdon county, was nominated by the Populists for governor. ' - The platform adopted indorses that of the national party, declares that New Jersey is governed by corrupt- politi cians for their own gain, denounces the Reading coal combine, r denounces the stand taken at Homestead by organized capital in its attempt to crush labor, denounces the prostitution of the. na tional guard and favors the law com pelling payment of wages every week. ' Republican Insincerity. V" Nothing more clearly illustrates the -insincerity of the Republican party in its profession of love for the negro than., the way it is doing in the elections in the southern states. The People's party stands firmly by the principle of a free ballot aud a fair count. If the Repub licans would stand squarely with us oa this the negro would be enfranchised and G rover Cleveland would not carry a southern state. But so dead is Repub licanism to everything bnt the triumph of plutocracy that they are turning their strength to the Democrats of the south to help down the People's party by every species of fraud. It is surprising to seo how little desire the Republicans mani-: fest to "break up the solid south," Nonconformist. . . . . .
