Newspaper Page Text2 KING FRAUDOCRAT ANSWERED—THE CONSTITU TION DIDN’T LIKE IT. CAPE SANDERS WRITES A Reply to Boykin Wright’s “Wail” No. 2 and Exposes His Fallacies. The Atlanta Constitution Editorial Department Sept, Utb, 1895. Capt. D. N. Sanders:—We re gret that we are compelled to decline the manuscript you kindly submitted to us for examination. For various reasons a manuscript may not be adapted to the Constitu tion, and yet meet with acceptance elsewhere. We sometimes accept manuscript declined by other period icals and often find that those we have declined are accepted by other publications. The return of a man uscript, therefore, does not necessa rily imply lack of merit, or unfitness for publication. Thanking you for having given us an opportunity to examine that which we herewith return, we are Very Truly Yours, The Constitution. Editor People’s Party Paper: Will you please publish the in closed reply to Mr. Boykin Wright’s letter of Sept. 6tb, which you will see Che Constitution refuses to pub lish. Respectfully, D. N. Sandhus. Editor Constitution :—My atten tion has just been called to Mr. Boy kin Wright’s letter in your issue of Sept. 6th. This letter is so unfair and misleading that I beg space in your paper to notice it. Until three years ago I was a cit izen of the 10th district, and still continue to take interest in 10th dis trict politics. Mr. Wright boldly ' avows that both sides perpetrated great frauds and seeks to justify or palliate the frauds committed in Au gusta on the pleas that the people were maddened by Mr. Watson’s incendiary utterances, and secondly that they sought to offset the frauds committed in populist counties. Mr. Watson never uttered one incendiary sentence during the campaign, and Mr. Wright knows that he did not. Neither will bis secoid plea hold water.. What are the facts ? Wherever the populist were in con trol, they placed a democrat on the board of manages to see fair play. Wherever the democrats were in con trol they refused to allow a ; populist to sit at the election so as to see fair play. Now what was the result? The census shows that the nine coun ties which gave Watson majorities contain over one hundred thousand people, while the two counties which gave Black majorities contain sixty two thousand people, yet the elec tion-returns show that the sixty two thousand east more votes than the hundred thousand, yet Mr. Wright has the cheek to charge outrageous fraud upon the larger number who east the smaller vote. By the way, will Mr. Wright inform a curious public just now many votes Augusta did cast in the last election. We know that some sixteen or eighteen thousand were counted out, but we are still curious to know how many ballots were left in the box when the counting stopped. We have heard of one man who boasted that he voted the same squad of “niggers” thirteen times during the day, and of another still more industrious who voted his squad six teen times by the middle of the af ternoon, when he was notified from headquarters to cease operations as they now had votes We have also heard of the Edgefield Co man, who declared he “kt ew Mr. Black was fairly elected, because enough of us South Carolineans crossed the river and voted for him to insure his election”; but wo have never yet heard just how many bal lots were left uncounted in the Au gusta ballot boxes. Mr. Wright complains that the populist wont admit frauds on their part, and asks if there ,was ever a higher manifestation of political bon- PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER ATLANTA, GA., SEPTEMBER 20, 1895 MILLER BROS., mail 46-48-50 Whitehall St., goods ORDERS rrT lvrTU n 4 Guaranteed as Solicited.

A Bargain at 35 cents, for-- or, than when Mr. Black, with the hearty concurrence of his political manages, consented to drop his com mission which, all admitted, was tainted with fraud. Now, what are the facts about Mr. Black’s resigna tion ? Mr. Watson had proposed to Mr. Black, that in view of a tedious and expensive c’ontest, that a joint com mission be selected to go over the election purge them of > all fraudulent and illegal, votes. If Mr. Wright really believed that the populists as well as the demo ciats had committed great frauds why did he not urge Mr. Black -to accept Mr. Watson’s proposition. He knew that Mr. Black had a majority of six thousand on the face of the returns and that unless six thousand more fraudulent votes were found in the democratic than the populist column, his candidate would be still in the lead and in undisputed posses sion of a clean commission. . Mr. Watson and his friends were willing to hunt up and throw out every fraudulent populist vote, why was not Mr. B ack and his managers willing to hunt up and throw out every fraudulent democratic vote ? There can be but one answer:— Mr. Black and his managers feared that their grand majority of six thousand would disappear under the purging process. When Mr. Watson and his sup porters challenged Mr. Black amd his managers to scrutinize the legality of every ballot, and that challenge was declined, it should have forever stopped their mouths against the cry of populistic frauds. But Mr. Black and his managers should be honored because they dropped a commission that smelled of fraud. So we do, —just as we re spect the wisdom of a child who drops a hot potato. Mr. Black knew the election was a fraud the very moment the result of the Augusta vote was announced. Why did lie accept a commission that stunk with fraud when it came to his hand ? Why did he not re fuse it ? Why did he wait till his managers had devised a special elec tion law, which it was believed a democratic assembly would pass, and which would enable them next time to cheat under the color of law ? We would have honored Mr. Black for refusing the commission, but we do not and can not honor him for resigning it after an indignant and outraged public had made it too hot for him to hold. Mr. Wright thinks the populist are terrible fellows because they opposed this Registration Laiv.

Why did he not tellthemthat the Senate judiciary committee, compost d with one or two exceptions of democrats, refused to sustain it until Mr. Flemming, one of Mr. Black’s managers, left the speakers chair and went before the committee and pleaded for' it in the interest of Mr. Black’s r If Mr. Black wants a fair ek'c’ion, why did he publicly denounce the Augusta democrats who demanded it, and why has he selected to man age his present campaign the very men, under whose management the acknowledged frauds of last year were committed. Augusta has brainy democrats in whose integrity, populists as well as democrats have confidence. Why does he not give the country a guar antee of a fair election, by placing the management of his campaign in the hands of some of these men, in - stead o£ in the hands of those who permitted the frauds of 1894, and un der whose present manipulations, the registration lists are made to indi cate that one-fourth of Augusta’s voters are yourg negroes just be come of age. Mr. Wright assures us that Au gusta has only about one thousand populists—all without money, char acter or influence, yet in a former communication he told us the pops were spending oodles of money and in this last epistle speaks feelingly of populist intimidation. Finally he concludes in an eloquent peroration urging all good citizens to rally to the democratic banner and rescue the country from the blight of pop ulisrn, but f ergot's to inform them that he is running Mr. Black on a populist platform,—the main differ ence being that Mr. Watson’s plat form is built to “stand on” while Mr. Black’s is only constructed to “get in on” and hence has been made a little shorter- Verily it is a re markable letter. D. N. Sanders. 28 Pulliam Street. With the Politicians. Uncle George Tillman is prepar ing for the deluge. The Nestor of South Carolina politics has been interviewed by the Augusta Herald and he gives his views with char acteristic force. When asked about the probable acts of the coining constitutional convention, he replied tersely, “The Omniscient knows all things but that.” Then, continuing, the ex-congress man said : “Our people are desperate.

The millionaires have op pressed the masses until the latter are like a squeezed lemon. They are unable to educate their children, to travel and improve their minds or to read books, papers and magazines. They merely make a living, and a scant one at that. They have grown desperate. The millionaires buy up half the masses and put arms in their hands with which to intimidate the other half and thus keep them all in subjugation. “The time is coming when these people will rise in a bloody conflict. I look for it during the next presiden tial election or the one after that. All the writers on our government unite in declaring that if this repub lic ever goes to pieces it will be at the period of a presidential election in a conflict over the spoils of office and the administration of the facul ties of taxation. Calhoun told the truth when he said that the tendency of republics was toward despotisms— never toward aristocracies. “So firmly do I believe that this revolution is coming that I am al ready preparing for it,” declared Uncle George. “I have three eons, and to that end lan. giving them all a raillitary education so that when the throat-cutting comes they will not be high privates in the rear ranks.” “NOTHING EQUAL TO IT!” A Pitominent Minister Rec ommends Germetuer for Stomach and.
