THE CRY OF “STOP THIEF.’
In tin; last issue of the Gainesville
Suuthro.i its editor, in order to attract
public attention from the responsibility
of the Conlitlon-Independent ( party in
the murder of Walter Rouxtrkk, tries
ft> tlx the Maine upon the editor of tho
Bunner-Watchman by reciting sonic old
lies that we heard were being argued by
a negro politician the day Lawsiie was
in Athens. He elmrges us with inci
ting bud feeling between the races where-
ever we go, and makes other statements
that one has but to refer to our flies to
find are utterly false. Among the col
ored mee we have as good friends as
either Mr. I-awsiik or Congressman
Speer. You can go down to Oglethorpe
county, or impute in Athens either, and
you will find that the best class of the
eolored population do not look upon us
as their enemy, and in the former coun
ty we have been frequently called upon
by colored men for both advice and help
to get them out of trouble—and when!
they are worthy we have never refused
their calls. But we have fought, and will
continue to combat, that tioarde of un
scrupulous black politicians who live by
stirring up strife between the races. We
arc the friend and advocate of all hon
est, worthy men, lie they black or white
—but will continue to throw hot shot In
to the ranks of all murderers, thieves,
Incendiaries, seallawags, carpet-baggers,
political tricksters, ltadicals and Inde
pendents. Every line that we have
written ill amt the lute disturbance is en
dorsed by the best men of Athens—and
it is them we endeavor to please, and
not such mongrel isdltieal cormorants as
the editor of the Southrun. Our plat
form is: This is a white man's country
and a white man’s government, and we
do not believe in elevating an illiterate
and ignorant race over them. We do not
believe in pandering to the cinvn and
debased, to achieve political victory.
Wo believe in conducting all campaigns
on a high and honorable basis, and this
can only lie done by the whites combin
ing to overcome such infamous influ
ences as the Independent crusade arc
engendering in the tRh district. Mr.
I-awsiik cannot shield his party from its
just lilame in the murder of young
Itoi VTiii'K. While Mr. Emory Speer
did not [mint the weapon that fired the
fnud shot, it cannot be denied that lie
nerved and enccitraged the arm that per
petrated the deed liv elevating the negro
race to positions to which they are not
fitted. Any one hasdutt to live ill Ath
ens to see the fruits of this Independent
move, in the changed attitude of the |
blacks toward the whites—and this feel
ing is kept alive and enconragetl by the
Independents for the most selfish pur
poses. But thank God the eyes of our
white people are at last open, and at the
polls next full they will administer a re
buke that will not -o in be forgotten by
Mr. Sl’KKK and his hirelings. The edi
torial in the last issue of the Gainesville
.S nd/ii im would cause tile bodies of such.
Southern-hating abolitionists slid Itadi-
cnls as Tii un.i s Stevens to turn over in
their eotlius with a chuckle, were it pos
sible for inanimate clay to know the do
ings oi the living world.
Veit, if thou hast suiil that I'm to blame
For all this rumpus, which has eulne—
or even part of it—all the same:

would use the power-thug gained to co
erce his social equality, desires. This
last object, once obtained, will rMUlt in
the degration of the workingmen** chil
dren and the annihilation of idffinteul-
gfenoe now engaged in steering the ship
of State.
We sincerely hope that the white peo
ple, of all classes, will ponder well the
vital interests at stake, ere they decide
to give to a supremely ignorant race any
more power tha' promises to encourage
them in demanding more than Uio South
can now conveniently give them. *

SPEER ON LAMAR.
Ill yesterday's Constitution Con
gressman Sl’KKK aji|M’arH in a column
reply to Mr. Albert R. Lamar, of
the Macon Telegraph ami Messenger,
in which he creates a personal issue
and retorts by charging that gentle
man with submitting to having his
fijee slapped in publie.belng dismissed
from otliceon account of incompetently
etc., etc. Now we reproduced this ob
noxious article in the Banner-Watch-
man, read it carefully, and do not
place the same construction upon it as
docs Mr. Si*kkk. We do not think
Col. Lamaii, for an Instant, intended
to insinuate tliutCongressman Sl’KKK
endorsed or in any manner alietted
the murder of Walter Rountree.
Such a charge would have been the
sublimity of nonsense. The idea that
Mr. Lamar Intended to convey—and
he is endorsed in it by the very best
men in Athens—in this: That this
murder is clearly traceable to the re
sults of Independence and negro polit
ical supremacy in the nth district; and
Mr. Sl’EEK is only responsible from a
political standpoint, as being the lead
er of that organization. We have no
doubt but what the murder of this
young student was a source of as deep
regret to him as any man in Georgia—
but ut the same time that does not les
son one lota the responsibility of the
party he has built up in this district.
That the Independent party is solely
responsible for this outrage, one lias
but to reside Athens for a few weeks
to find out. But in his long letter of
reply our Congressman fails to touch
it lion or explain what we consider Mu
jor Lamar’s most serious assertion—
i. t., Speer's incendiary speech deliv
ered before that black mob during
commencement week. This was a di
rect and pointed charge—and we can
not see the propriety in entirely ig
noring it and constructing an imagi
nary one of straw for the purpose of
knocking it down. In reply to Mr.
Speer’s statement about the murderSr
being only nineteen years old ami a
polltici&u (according to the Banner-
Watchman) will say that we are un
der the impression that our Congress
man has had too much experience
with the average eolored voter not to
know that It does not require age to
make one of that race a leading poli
tician.

The article that appeared in our paper
few days ago, presents a serious prob
lem which confronts the white working
men of this -country. “Mechanic,” in
his statements, simply expresses wliat
many of our people have doubtless fre
quently heard, since “freedom,” as the
negroes call their emancipation. But
his are public utterauces, boldly ex
pressed, and we may safely conclude
that the intelligent mechanics of this
country are about to see the tendency of
of all coalition with The negro race.
“John Chinaman,” with his pigtail and
cheap plate of flee, is not half so fearful
to the workingmen of the Pacific slope
as the ignorant negro—“jack of all
tratles,” with his social equality tenden
cies and his ardent love of all coalitions—
is to tho white workingmen of the South,
The workingmen—boys, as they are fa
miliarly c»Ued—would do well to re
member that any coalition on their port
to givp the negro increased political pow
er, only encourages the ambitions of all
ranks of society to pander to the blacks
for ike purpose of attaining their politi
cal etuis. The advocates of no party,
lines would destroy tho balance ofpovr-
