Judge Hines ridiculed the tariff bill now
under discussion as being a direct blow at
the prosperity of the south and west. He
said that it was one of Mr._ Cleveland's
schemes for running over the New England
states to democracy. And he said. "We
don’t want any niore northern democrats,
because vou .-an t tell a northern democrat
from a republican to save your soul. )ou
can’t tell an eastern democrat from a west
ern rvpuldican. and it’s getting so that a
man has got to put on his specks to dis
tinguish le-tween a southern democrat and
a republican. The democrats asked for a
chan- e in the last presidential campaign.
They promised free silver and tariff reform.
Hame tliey given them to yo? How many
ch mces are you going to give them? Mr.
Atkinson said in his Fayetteville speech
that the populists are sick people. I have
been all over Georgia and I have seen
sick people, but they are not
populists. We are '.-rowing Jem' —a-s
are joining us everywhere. The Evans
men who are disgusted with Georgia poli
ties are joining us.
’’Democrats are joining .is everywhere.
They ate sick because the old party has
gone back on Jeffersonian principles, sick
because John Sherman commands the dem
ocratic ship and Mr. Reed furnishes the
rules by which Mr. t’risp manages a demo
cratic house.” In conclusion Judge Hines
said that ho man need be afraid of the
third party—it was lighting for honest
methods in politics, for the principles of
Jefferson, equal right to all and special fa
vor to none, anil sooner or later the prin
ciples would triumph in Georgia.
