The People's Party Presidential Cau- lilnt Ttioranghly Katoa by the People Whom lie Once Irott VnUer Ills Iron Heel. Atlanta Ji.nmal. , Ever since the People's party nomin ited Jas. B. "Weaver as its presidential candidate, rdmors have reached the public at inter vals or cruelty and oppressions practiced by General Weaver up on the people ot Jthilaski, Tenne see, where he was post comman dant for a brief time jast before tne close of tne war. - With a view to placing the pub lic in possession of the real facts in the case, The Journal dispatch ed a member otits statf to Pulas ki, wih instructions to sift General Weaver's record there, and to re port whether . or not the charges made against him were sustained by proof. 1 he result oi his investigations is given below: " Staff Correspondence of The Jour nal. Pclaski, Tenn., September 16. "Go to Pulaski, investigate Gen eral Weave r s military record there and tell the public, through the Journal, what you find, whether it be good or whether it be bad." These - were the instructions which landed me in this pretty Tenriesee town Wednesday morn ing, and in execution of which 1 have since talked with half the leading citizens of the place and secured from a score of them sworn adffiayits bearing vitally upon the subject under inve&tiga-. tion. Pulaski is a pretty place. The capital of Giles, one of the richest counties in the State it is itseli a wealthy town-and the home of a highly intelligent and cultivated people, thoroughly southern in na ture and instincts, frank and out spoken in their opinions. The population is about 3,500. The town has more than its, share, of banks and its handsome church, -school and college buildings attest the high state of its piogressive nesa. -. - .. r The country around Pulaski is picturesque and very; fertile. In richness and attractiveness it is rivalled only by the blue grass region of Kentucky. Fine horses and cattle and hogs are laised in profusion and the crops : of com aud grdfin that grow on these Giles county lands would make tha Georgia cotton planter grow as green 'as the leaves ot Pulaski's shady streets with very envy. THE AP VENT CF WEAVER. It was in such a favored region that James B. Weaver made his advent in the winter of 18G3. He cauie iu that general movement ot the wf stern armies which be gan in that year and ended with bherman s march to. the sea. It was' about November "that Gen. Weaver reached Pulaski as colo nel of the second Iowa regiment of infantry, under General Dodge, and was made commandant ot the pest lie re. lie held that post for several months, in which period he succeeded m making himself so thoroughly obuqxious to the people over whom he Yuled with an iron hand that it is not1 too much to say that it would not be safe for him to return home now, even after the lapse of nearly thir ty year?. . WOULD KELT LYNCH HIM. Three different men, reputable citizens, have said to me within the last few hours that they would gladly help lynch Weaver if . he thould tiver dare show his head in Puluski again without such a mil itary escort as he had when he was there before. That is a fair sample of the public sentiment hero concerning Oreneral Weaver. s No desD3t was ever more hated by his oppressed subjects- than General Weaver is hated by- the people of this couutry.' The mem ory ot ins oppressions ranmes within their breast?, and it is with unconcealed satisfaction that they express their contempt tor him and for : the southern white man who will vote for 'him in the face of. his persecutions of southern people under the gniso of military necessity. lou c-ili- hardly hnd a man on the street who cauuot tell oi some act of cruelly, jt some indig nity 6r insult cast upon him or some relative or Inend by Gener al Weaver. The trouble is not to find proof of his cruelty to these people, but to decide what to use 0ut of the mass of testimony read ily at hand. The- witnesses against him are almost as numeri ous a's the population. In the course of a day's close search, I did not meet a man who had a kind word to say for him. ' WEAVER WAS THE WORST. Other Federal officers were in command at Pulaski at various times. Some of tkem are kindly spoken of by the people here. General Johnson was in charge of the post at one time, so was Gen eral Stanley and General,, now Judge, Gresham. Any one of these would be welcorned to Pu laski and entertained hospitably. These commanders tempered their sternness with mercy and did not take advantage pi their temporary dictatorship to grind'old men and women under the oppressor's iron heel. v : ; Not so with Weaver. Dozens of meii, have said to me that "Weaver was the worst" of them all. So far I as I can learn, he made not a friend in the place. I have not been able to hear of a single kind ot merciful act that he did, whjle instances of his reckless disregard for the feelings, and the rights" of the helpless non-combatants' .whom he found here, are numerous, : . - STRUCK THE . WRONG TOWN. ' Here is ah instance ot the state of feeling in Pulaski : t A representative of the National Economist, Macune's paper, ar rived here yesterday morning to collect testimony favorable to General Weaver. He set ou by asking Landlord J. A. P. Snillern, of the .Linden house, what he knew about Weaver, v "Well, I don't knoW what you are after, young mas," was Mr. Skillern's reply, "bnt if you want my -opinion of Weayer 111 tell you 1 think ho's the grandest villian unhung.' The National Economist 'emis sary had a list of names of men to be interviewed, presumably furnished by Gen. -Weaver. It transpired that, with one or two exceptions, these were names bl men who were dead. The corres pondent left the town hurriedly in a. few houra after ho reached it, having received cold comfort "on his bootless mission. The report of his visit in the Economist will bo read with interest here. It Is the laughing stock of the place to-day. THE CHARGE AGAINST WEAVER. : The counts in the indictment preferred by the people of Pulaski against General (then Colonel) Weaver are, briefly stated, as fol lows : -- . . That as commandant.of the post andjn consequence the supreme military authprity for the time here, he was arbitrary, tyrannical and unnecessarily severe in his treatment, of the people. That he caused to be arrested and thrown into the common prison stockade upright, reputa ble and law abiding citizens whose only offence was their sympathy with the Confederate cause. . That he robbed widows and other inon- combatants ef property not deeded for supplies for his army, and for which be refused to give-vouchers. That he extorted from various citizens considerable . sums of money, without any form ot law, which money these citizens to this day firmly believe was appropria ted to Weaver's own use and benefit. "THE proof. The particular incidents cited below in support of these charges are vouched . for by the best citi zens of Pulaski, and are, moreover, backed by sworn affidavits, exe cuted in due process of law. The oiiginals of mosbpf these affidavits are now in the possession of The Journal correspondent and will be placed on file in the office of The Journal. The others are in the hands of Mr. J. P. Abernethy, the clerk and master of the chan cery cpurt of Giles county, who is also secretary of the county Dem ocratic executive committee, and from whom swoin copies can be obtained. : . Further, these charges and in cidents may be verified on appli cation-ta any" reputable citizen of Pulaski. In fact the county Dera ocratic committee authorizes The Journal to challenge the people's party "to produce a single re putable witness, outside oi their party, and who was in sympathy with our naorjle in the time of trouble, to deny these statements. "FOR REVENUE ONIY. There were in , and about Pu lasni a number of highly respecta ble citizens, property owners, who either because of being over - age or from physical - disability, had not entered thev oon federate army. General Weaver, according to the testimony ; of those here at the time, seemed to tafee special de light in annoyiDg and harrassmg theso citizens. In January, 1864, he compelled a number of these men to pay him lnre Bums of money under threat of being sent, gbuth or to northern prisons if they refused. The victims of this extortion and southern army "Weaver heard of this the sums they werei forced to pay;": in some way and sending a squad were as follows t Thomas Martin - - - S250.00 Dr. Wm. Batto - - - 100.00 Charles C. Abernethy 250.00 Eobern Dickson - r - ' 250.00 J. H. Newbill - - ' - 100.00 J. M. Morris - - 100.00 David T. Reynolds - 250.00 B. Abernathv - - - 200.00 Thomas B.

Abernathy, in which General Weaver ac knowledged tlio receipt of $250 from Charles C. Abernethy, .the father of the present clerk, and master, on his general order levy ing assessments; on various citi zens. This general order was ad dressed to Mr. Abernathy, with the following added, in General Weaver's hand writting : " Chas.

He is to-day what he has always been one of the most prominent and best citizens of the: place. He makes the fol lowing sworn statement : '-r PR. BATLE'S TESTIMONY. To nil whom il may concern ': ' I was a citizen of Pulaski, Tenn., during the war, and , have been ever sinc3. I was personally acquainted with T. B. Wearer, who, :" ftsfeolomyl of the United States troops was in com mand of the United States forces staf tioned iu Pulaski in 1803-64. Weaver was very oppressive and ex tortionato upon the citizen of this town and vicinity. As commandant, he is sued a military order requiring the above named parties, and perhaps oth- ers, to pay over to him a large sum of money for the alleged purpose of sup porting refuges them within his lines. This order ;was accompanied with the threat that if not complied with immed iately the parties of whom thy demand was made would be sent south. Under this threat, I paid to Weaver the sum of one hundred dollars. I also verily believe that the other parties on whom the demand ; was made, paid tne amounts required of them. Wm. batle.

THE CASE OF JASPER COX. : General Weaver took from Jas per Cox, a poor but worthy citizen of Giles county, a quantity of cot ton yarn, 4,000 dozed, in which Mr. Uox had invested all his hard earned savings with the idea that when the war was over he could 6ell the thread and with the money build him a home. General Weaver not only took this thread, which was of no pos sible use to hjui; and could not be regarded as "supplies for his ar my, but would give no receipt for it. Mrs. Cox begged piteously for its return to no avail, n Weayer afterwards claimed that he thought Cox had come by the yarn dishonestly, and that he ( Weaevr) had turned it over to bia surveyor of customs, Dillion That both these claims are untrue are shown by the following affi davits : I. Jasper Cox. of the court of Giles and state of Tennessee, upon my oath state that during the war. while Weaver. the present people's party candidate for President, was stationed at Pulaski, he (Weaver) took from me four - thousand dozen thread, worth at that time two thousand dollars, and refused to pay for it or give any receipt whatever lor it-. . I afterwards employed J. G. Whitson . I .11 l .' . - - . Al as my agent to coneci pay ior me thread, vv mtson i wrote to w eaver about it and Weaver replied that he had turned it over to John-F. Dillon, sur veyor of customs at Nashville. Whitson then wrote to Dillon about the matter and Dillon replied that Weaver had never turned over to him any cotton thread ; that he (Dillion) knew nothing about it. According to my besl infor mation and belief Weaxer appropriated my thred to his own individual use. -"-..' .'.-" '--: .JASPER COX. Sworn to before me September, 1, 1S92. " - J i- '- - --;'"'- J. W.

Weaver was i stationed at Pulasld I was a boy of about 11 years of age, and was living at my father's home, ten ; miles from I remember. General Weaver: from one incident which impressed' him on my - mind-that" was the transaction about Mr. Jasper Cox's . thread. My father; C. H. Witt, sold Mr. Cox a large lot of bacon. ' This bacon Mr. Cox took to a factory in Laurins, the adjoining county, and traded it for cotton yarn or thread, whicbj he brought back and stored in his house, it being his inten tion to hold the thread until the war closed, when -he hoped to sell it and buy him a home.; That thread repre sented his accumulated savings up to that time. . - - . iAJter Mr. Cox had gone off to join the took it away. Mr: Cox has never seen the- thread since nor has he ever been able to recover one cent from Weaver for it. ; '. - . j Af&ei Weaver had taken the thread, my father went to him in company .with Mr. Cox's wife and begged . him to re turn It, v Mrs. Cox pleading - fbr it with tears in her eyes; My father showed Weafer that Mr. Cox had come by the thrsd honestly, having traded for it with4he bacon my father had sold him, but Weaver was inexorably afid would do nothing to right the wirong that had beei done. i ;;'--.--j '-'l; -. 5 I-fcnow these facts of my 'own knowl edge and have besides, heard my father tell tho story more than once.

The story of Weaver's treat ment of J. P. Williams, a sub- stancial and inoffensive farmer of Giles county, is! enough to make the blood boil in the heart of e'yery patriotic son of the south As Mr. . Williams lives in the country 15 was lmpossipie to see him in person, but the hature of tne outrages practiced on mm is told in the following sworn state ment. ' ' .:. ; To Alt Whom U Man Concern J.

Weaver fined Mr. Wilhams S500. and because he could not pay it had him thrown into jaiL He was let out on patroie to ; raise tne money, being ' escorted py ;a yanitee guard. He did , raise the money and was released. , i j Weaver had! mv brother, who had come home on a furlough from the con federate armv. arrested and ironed with stiff irons on both legs and kept that way for many weeks. He was finally tried as a spy and acquitted. . 13. Jf. Maxwell had a stallion wmcn ne valued at over $1,200. Weaver wanted the horse and took him, giving him a voucher for two horses. The govern ment allowed $120 apiece for Jhorses, if I recollect aright. - "I 1 W. J.- Raixey, Sworn to and subscibed before me September 14, '92. -' Hume R. Steele, v ; N. P. Giles Co. , Tenn. AS A HOG STEALER.: Mr. Williains4 also saysj that on one- occasion, when - Weaver was pasig' his WiljlianVs)-. house he drtfye off - every tafciem'eg 1 llog ho had, and allowed his men to shoot down all of the women's turkeys before their eyes, and when asked for a receipt or voucher, flatly re fused to give any. ' This he did without any canse whatever, . as tho government had an abundance of supplies at Pulaski. j This conduct appears even the worse in comparison- with that of other Federal officers, as; in the case of Gen. Johnson, who, while in command her e,iiold the people if they caught his soldiers foraging to shoot them down. " - . ' WEAVER AS A BULLDOZER. Dr. J. C. Roberts, who enjoys the respect and ! confidence "of all the people of Pulaski, and who is aphysician of high standing, makes the' following affidavit, i To All Whom it Mu Concern: 1 Weaver was a terror to all the men, women and children in this region round about our town and count , , es pecially to those Who were known to have money. I i He arrested me t,nd tried to extract from me $500 for my release, but when he found I could not be bulldozed, he turned me out withbnt chaTge; He ex torted in that way from many of our best citizens money and everything else. !On another occasion. Weaver had me arrested and forced me to receipt for $7,000 due me on'ai farm I had sold be fore the war on credit. All this money proved a dead loss to me; I regard J. B.

In an interview with Dr. Rob erts, who is one of those delight ful specimens ot; the old school of southern gentlemen, he told me that when su n monsed before Wea ver in the matter of the land re ferred to in" the : aboye affidavit, thegeneral was 'extremely savage ji nd v ruff, and add ressed - hi fa about in theso words : "Ton say vpu fare Dr. Robeits, are you?, I understand you don t like the greenbacks Wll, by G d, I know jou and I jnst like to deal with -sour kind.

When the doctor was arrested, as he relates iri his affidavit, lie was thrown into the stockade with a lot of filthy prisoners and kept there for weeks simply be- cause he would jnot disgorge $500 ' into Weaver s itching palms. ' During that time Weaver's em issaries made Mrs. Roberts' life miserable with their threats. At one time, Mrs.' -Roberts informed me, Weaver sent her word that if her husband did not pay the $500 in a week ho would have him haugei? on the following Friday. ; MONEY STOLEN FROM LETTERS. " Filching money from sealed lettei s is not i generally "regarded as one of the" accomplishments of a soldier. That the present peo ple's party presidential candidate possessed, it, is shown by the following affidavit, the original of which is in: possesion of the Journal : . - i In the first part of I8C4 I was in prison at Point Lookout, Md Com. D. 9th Division " My father sent me in a letter twenty dollars from Pulaski, Tenn. When I received the letter there was only ten dollars in it, and the letter was very much defaced,- especially the part referring to the twenty dollars, but with difficulty I made it out. And on-f the letter was written, " "Inspected and ten dollars allowed by J. B. Weaver, post com." After, coming back from the war I told my father that I never received but ten dollars in said letter, and he was surprised as hehad sent twenty dollars and-believed I jrot it, and , the other ten dollars has . never been seen or heard of since. I think I now have the letter, at home I know I saw it with Weaver's name a year or two ago. I was a member of company A, 3d Tenn. Inf. W. J. Abebnetiiy.

Rosa and Major J. B.

' - Personally appeared before me E. R.

He served in the confederate ! army, and was a notably brave soldier. When asked if he knew anything about General Weaver, he said : "I should say I did know .some thing about old Weaver.. They gay he's coming here to" speak. Well, if he doe3 I II be on o to help hang him and hang him quickv too. My mother, Mrs. Amanda Macklin, was a widow at the time of the. war and as l was in the array, she was at home alone on the farm. Weaver robbed her of four horses, sixty head of hogs and three hundred barrels of corn, asked. him for a and when she receipt, he re fused to give her fny, telling her that she had a son in the con federate army and that was enough.'' ' ! Dr. J. G. Roberts vouches for the truth of the following inci dent : . i "Weaver took from Mrs. Sarah A. Anthony six; mules, three thousand or four thousand pounds of bacon and six .or eight stacks of fodder. Mrs. Anthony was - a widow. She had a sou in the confederate army." ! FALSEHOOD AND ROLBERY. Here is the specimen of the affidavits now in the hands" ol Mr. Abernethy : ; . . . . Of all the men I i have ever known. Weaver was the worst. 5 He seemed to have a perfect hatred of the southern 1 -a ii 1 people ana to taKe a aengns in aDusmg; persecuting and robbing them.' He had po respect or f eeling for defenseless old men and women and children. " , A Mr. Lanier, of Nashville, gave me $1,935, with which to buy some cotton. Weaver found out that I had the money, and no sooner had he done so thau he had me arrested and took . $935 of it. Not content with this, he added false hood to robbery by reporting to Mr. Lanier that I had made wray with the money. A-,. D. T. Habbisox. Subscribed and sworn to before me, August 23, 1892 . J. J.
