TENNESSEE. . '
"The Pulaski Democrat publishes
the following leaf from J. B. Wea
ver's war record :
"General Weuver, while in com
mand at Pulaski, in January, 18G1,
issued an order to Charles (J. Aber
nalh v."V John II. Newhill, Kobert
Rhodes and others that they pay into
his hands $1,000 for the maintain
enco oi reiugees meaning negroes
and renegades from Alabama.) This
order was accompanied by the threat
that if the money was not paid they
arid their families would be sent south
and their property gi ven to said ref
gee's. All of these parties are dead
now. and were over Bixty years old
when that order was issued. Can
any Southern man vote for such a
heartless wretch t a man oy the
name of 0. Y. Witt sold Mr. Jasper
Cox, a very poor man, two thousand
pounds of bacon, for which he re
ceived the cash. ; Mr. Cox took the
bacon to the cotton mills in Lawrence
county and traded it lor cotton
twist. This he "carefully stored
away in the little cabin, thinking it
would , assist him in purcnasing a
little home after tho war, as he was
verv noor with a largo family, and
had no home. .Weaver itarncd
through some source that this gen
tleman had the cotton twist, and
sent a detachment of soldiers to his
lome and took possession of. it, and
shipped it to Iowa for his own use.
The cotton twist was wortn at the
time it was stolen z,uuu, Jasper
Coxis living in Giles county. John
P. Williams, a poor :but highly re
spected farmer in Giles county, had
twenty-nvo iat nogs, wnicn at tne
time were worth . $10 per hundred
gross, and a lot of turkeys. Weaver,
in person, took a file of eoldiers into
Williams' and mado tho soldiers
shoot, every hog on the place and had
them brought into . camp. When
Williams asked for a voucher Weaver
said : .MI. don't give rebels. in the
South vouchers.' I would rather
furnish rope to hang every d n one
of them.", Mr. "Williams is still liv
ing and will swear to the above if
necessary. The hogs were valued at
$750. The turkeys belonged to Mrs.
Williams, and she begged to have
them spared, but the heartless wretch
had them all killed and taken to
headquarters for his own special use,
remarking to Mrs. Williams that she
had no business being the wife of a
rebel. Weaver made it a practice to
charge our citizens 10 cents each for
passes to come into and go out of
tho Federal linos. This money he
put into his own pockets. This pass
read as follows :
"Pass the bearer through the Fed
eral lines. J, B. Weaver,

Mr. Cleveland is not. opposed to
the free coinage of silver- dollars
which are equal to gold dollars, but
he is oppoBod to tho free coinage o!
seventy cent dollars and that is the
position of the Democratic party aa
declared in its platform. The free
coinage of seventy cent silver dollars
is nothing more than tho government
making the silver miners a present
of thirty centy every time it coins a
eilver dollar for them. It. docs not
look fair for a miner, because he has
pleuty of silver bullion, to bo allowed

THE THIRD PARTY IN
THE
SOUTH-
Pkiladelpbla Record.
But for the fact -that the leaders of the
Farmers' Alliance in the Southern States
made their followers believe that the Lodge
Force bill was dead and buried there would
not at this time have been any Third party
in the South worth talking about; ana,
notwithstanding the duplicity, aolive or
patfi ve, of most of the llepablioan leaders
and all or uearlv all of their party ergans
on the subject of the Force bill, those who
have been deluded about its death aud
buna! are rapidly learning tho truth. Be
fore the dawn of November every farmer
will comprehend that votes against Cleve
land, and Democratic Congressmen will
count as votes in favor of the Lodge Force
bill, and the Thud party in the Southern
States will bs reduoed to a skeleton.
- Any man in any Southern Slate who
should knowingly lend his support, dhectly
or indirectly, to the Lodge Force . bill
would net dare to look an honest woman
in the face, and honest men would regard
him with scorn.- It is in : the very nature
of things that such should be the ease.
From an experience in some of the States
more terrible .than that of the war, and
from traditious which curdle the blood . of
.rising generations, nothing imaginable
oould be so dreadful to the White men and
women of the South as negro domination.
There is pot even an honest negro in the
bouta who has acquired an interest in the
soil and ha a family to look after who
would not dread it.
The friends of Mr. Cleveland in the
Northern States need feel nb concern about
a Third party in the South nor need they
waste anathemas on the Democratic rene"
gades in that section who are trying to play
tne role or Alliance brokers in treating
with Kf publican, emissaries; for they will
be unable to deliver the goods.

to secure reforms, leant toward tho
Peoplo's party, writes a letter to the
Roxboro . Courier from which we
quote and commend to the consider
ation of every Allianceman in the
State. He says: .
I have reconsidered the polilical sltua.
tion. You kuow that wise men sometimes
change their opinions, but fools never.
H,veu if i am not wise lot me claim to be
honest, and an honest - man will certainly
acknowledge an error. -
It m true that my condact has Indicated
a Third party tendency in me, but I trust
thet never again shall any one have cause
to doubt my Demooraoy. It U true that I
am in favor of reform, but I do not want it
the way tho Third parly Convention at
Raleigh mapped out- I want reform and
Wtt need it, but it can't oome that way. We
do Dot need any Third party then, and
am sorry that anybody but aKepublicaa
wants to defeat EliusC&rr and Baldy Wil
liams. Every good white man ought ie
vote for them . I am a Farmer's Allianoe-.
ma, but am no Third party man, to beat
Capt. Williams and our State ticket, headed
by Elias Oarr, Heretofore my works have
proven my Democracy in every . respect.
The Third party promises to be too much
mixed with negroes to suit me, in inacy
counties the negroes are being active iu the
Third party. Jnst down in Vance county
they have already nominated a negro for
Register of Deeds. I believe this is a whito
msn'a country. White men discovered it.
White men made its oonatitutio-u .Whfte
men have made it what it is, and I believe
they ought to rule it. I Jon't blame the
negro for trying to govern, and I dpn't
blame him for trying to be as good as a
whit man in every way he ought to try
to improve himself. . But Tdo b!aine any
white man who does not try to keep him
self above and better than a negrot If we
sit by them in conventions and beg them
for their iufluet.ee i that not. step toward
social equality? How can any self respect-
ting white man encourage. 6ocial equality;
for my part I will never, uo never do any
thing that tends towards bringing the raoea
together, but on the contrary 1 do all in my
power to keep them forever distinct in all
respects.-The white people will always
give them j.islice and protect them and
will always bo their friends, but God him

preserve it. The Democratic party is tho
