Waco, Tex., Jane 30.—J. W.
of the Com-
mercial club, who made the ad-
dress of welcome, evidently in-
tended to get close to the pop-
ulists and make them feel at
home. He succeeded admira-
bly, and was enthusiastically
cheered. Already the populists
claim him as a convert. He
said:
"Gentlemen, I was born a
democrat. I was there myself.
I plead guilty to that, but did
not make any record of it at
the time, and therefore, have
no record to defend on this oc-
casion. So I come before you
unembarrassed, as I have no
political record of that kind.
"You will regard me as a
prodigy, no doubt, when I tell
you that I have lived in Waco
sixteen years and have never
been a candidate for any office.
I don't believe this could have
been true if I bad lived in Ty-
ler or Dallas.
"Gentlemen, I stand before
you to-day, not as a democrat,
or a republican, or as a popu-
list, but I come before you as a
plain business man, as a citi-
zen of Waco, to extend to yon
a most hearty welcome. If
your meeting is like the demo-
cratic meetings usually are
you will make things hot be-
fore you get through. I be-
lieve thousands of men all
over this country to day stand
—in the forks of the road—
reading the signs of the times.
"When Col. Ashby said to
yon a few minutes ago that the
gaoization c >mes to me as this:
I soppos3 that a farmer is sit-
ting on his front gallery, enjoy-
ing his rest when a party comes
along and says: "Farmer, I
passed by your field over yon-
der and saw*your patch of corn
fall of hogs.' The farmer says
•yes.'
"He sits down at once and
writes a letter to all his kin-
folks and neighbors. He has
lots of sons-in-law and friends.
Well, he sits do*n and writes
a letter to these friends, neigh-
bors and kinfolks as follows:
"My dear sir—Will yon
please meet me at my home
this afternoon at 4 oMotfc.
"They all come; of course
they do. There is a big meet-
ing and the farm *r looks upon

aaggysnsi
arrangement a short time ago,
like a babe crying in the woods,
but is to day, like a mighty
giant, this thought occurred to
me. As I looked over this vast
sea of faces of intelligence and
aincerety, a few years ago there
were men in the city of Waco
ho allege'd that they could
drink all the hot artesian wa-
ter Waco could produce. To-
day there are twenty wells
spouting streams as big as
these posts. I will tell you
now, if the democratic or re-
publican parties think that
they can drink these fountains
which belong to day to the
populists, they are very much
mist-iken. I will tell you gen-
tlemen., I have seen, as an ob-
server, a determination on the
part of politicians to day to
drink the life blood of our la-
boring people. We have plen
ty of big bags in the world
who would sit down at the ta
ble and starve to death, be-
cause they can't get peas
keep
to that
class of people who wonld say
eat the peas and keep alive if
you have to use knife, spoon
and fork. The people about
Waco who know me get the
idea.
"I began to ask myself this
question this morning, as I sat
upon this platform: What
does this convention mean?
"A few days ago a fellow
came up to me and handed me
a little book, a little bigger
than this one, and on the back
of it were these words: (What
congress has done.' I opened
the book, turned all the psges,
and there was not a letter in it.
All the time I have thoogbt of
this. I said to myself: It is no
wonder the people are begin
ning to come together, when all
this time has passed away, and
not I teg bat leaves is the result
•i want to ask one favor of
you gentlemen, and that is,
that yon will not tell any f
th- democrats what I say
tbe question of whether these
are Poland China, Berkshire or
razor-back hogs.' And yet,
the com is being destroyed
while the gentlemen are dis
cussing what kind of hogs are
eating it.
"The cry goes up from our
people to-day demanding not
bread and meat but labor.
"Gentlemen, I thought upon
this question and say it is no
wonder this uprising is taking
place. The hogs are in our
field eating up our corn; and I
tell you right now, g^ntlem^n, I
stand in a position where hun-
dreds of thousands of men of
this country are standing to
day and demand that the hogs
be driven out. Now, I know
this very well, that the demo-
crats and the republicans have
not driven the hogs out of the
corn.
"I look over the country and
the thought comes to me * What
has congress done for the paat
several years? What can it
showf
"I often think of Bob Tay-
lor's story about the 'possum
and the nigger.' Taylor says
that the negro went possum
banting. He took sweet pota-
toes along with him, and about
midnight he caught a 'possum, j
He then proceeded to build a
tire and skin his catch. When
he got his 'possum skinned he
put with the sweet potatoes in
tbe skillet and cooked it. 4Now
old Ned,' he said to himself, 'if
you eat the 'possum and the
•weet potatoes all up now. you
will only have one mess, only
one good time. But if you lay
down and go to sleep and
dream that you are eating 'pos-
sum and then get up and eat it
you will have as good as two
messes.' So old Ned lay down
and dreamed about the 'pos-
sum and sweet potatoes ; while
be was sleeping another negro
came along and saw the skillet
with the 'possum and potatoes
sitting there, and the negro
there asleep. He took in tbe
situation and proceeded to eat
the 'possum and potatoes, and
when he had eaten the mess he
laid the booes down right in
front of old Ned's mouth: He
then took his hand and rubbed
it around inside the skillet and
goes to old Ned and rubs his
hand all over his face and then
goes off. After awhile old Ned
wakes up. He sees the bones
lying in front of him, snd says:
'Them looks mighty like 'pos-
sum bones,' he licks his lips
and says: 'That tastes like
'possum fat.' He then looks
over there and sees the empty
skillet. 'Now, surely,' says he
4I didn't eat that 'possum, but I
guess I did. Bat if I did,' rub-
bing himself, 'that was the
lightest mess of 'possum I ever
ate.'
"If the democrats and repub-
licans have ever done anything
for oar country in the last few
years it is 'an awfal light
there. The visit I wish to
speak of was one Sunday, when
we were all seated at the
dinner table. I sat at one side
of the table exactly opposite
the teacher. In those days
peaches were dried whole and
stewed and put upou the table,
with the seeds in them. Well,
while I was sitting at the table
just in front of my sweetheart
a fellow on this side passed me
a plate of something, and a
fellow on my other side handed
me a plate of something else.
At the same timel was passing
something to my teacher with
both hands, 'i here I was with
one of these big peach seeds in
my ntouth, right in front of
her. I could neither set the
thing down I had in my hands,
nor could I speak, on accouut
of the peach seed in my mouth,
declining or accepting the
something passed me. 1 was
in a pretty fix. I did Mftmt
mouth iuto my plate, right
there before the lady, so tlwe
was only one thing left to do.
and that was to swallow the
the matter with this country.
There are too many men study-
ing the sunbeams, and not
enough studying how we can
get salt—bread and meat ou
of the earth.
"If I were going to tell you
our four greatest enemies, to
<J*y, gentlemen, I would siy;
first political jacklegism; sec-
ond, moral sham big-bng ham*
bugrj: third, pauper labor im-
migration ; fourth, moneyed
aristocracy.
"Now, gentlemen, I have al-
ready talked as long as I onghi
on this question.
(The audience—Don't stop
Go on. He is as good as any
of the populists. Go ahead )
"Gentlemen I look around
me to day and say, what do
these men mean , coming as
they do from the fields and the
shops of this country, as I am
informed by our friend, Mr.
Lambdin, who said to me a few
evenings ago at a meeting of
the Waco Commercial club,
that your party is largely made
up of faimers and mechanics.
"I want to close bj a refer-
ence I believe you will appre-
ciate. When my attention was
called to this I began to look
back, and as I pass along the
wall of ages, and the pages of
"Gentlemen, we welcome yon
aod trust your convention will
be a profitable and pleasant
one, and a grand success."
