JOURNALISTIC PERSECUTION.
From the present outlook, Congress-
muii Speku wi|l make the campaign
next fall upon that old hackneyed
persecution Issue, upon which Gover
nor Colquitt nauseated the people
and then wore to a frazzle. Every
charge made by the organized press
against the coalitionists or independ
ents is seized 'upon with avidity by
Mr. Speer’s organ and friends In the
district and tortured into abuse and
slanders agalust their head. But Mr.
Speer will find that this cry won’t
work with the intelligent masses. No
charge lias yet been inode against
him hut can and will be substantiated;
and at the contest next fall he cannot
evade the scorching chntcchim
through which lie will be put, by
screening himself behind the cloak of
a martyr. We do not suppose there
Is in the history of journalism a man
who has been' more cruelly as
sailed, viiiifled and insulted than the
editor of the Banner-Watchman.
Simply for the reason that we have
dared to come into the ninth district
and expose in language that ennnot
lie misunderstood the infamous inis-
siou of independence, the friends and
supporters of Congressman Speek
have singled us out for abuse and per
sonal uttaeks that were we not as well
known to the people among whom
we live us our maligners, we would
bear the stamp of an outlaw, slanderer,
a falsifier, a drunkard, a hired serib-
bier, a fool, a knave, and all that is
depraved and villainous. Scarcely u
•lay passes but what we reeeive anon
ymous letters and paja-rs—some writ
ten in a style tlint shows the writers
to be men of education—denouncing
us in unmeasured terms, and often
containing threats against our life if
we do not change our attitude toward
Mr. Speek. We have now before
us a lna iked speech delivered
by that gentleman in congress,
evidently closing with u slur
at the editor of this paper, mailed us
from Washington, and directed on the
margin “Uuiteau Gantt.” This is
only one of the lesser persecutions to
which wc have been the victims.
Bepeated eflorls have been made to
draw us into difficulties with men
that wc have never wronged in our
life, that the force of our attacks upon
the independent party may tic divert
ed in unoihcr direction. But
we have remained unshaken in our
course. We stand upon the defensive,
resting our reputation in the hands of
tile people who know os, and trusting
t lie vindication of our course with the
honest white men of the ninth dis
trict. Congressman Speek is a pub
lic man, unil as a voter and a journal
ist we have u rigid to criticise his ofll-
cial course. This we ha e done, and
will continue to do until the day of
election. His ' private acts and
character are not the property of the
public, and wc defy any one to show
an instance wherein we have assailed
either. No; the attacks in that direc
tion come from Mr. Speer or'his
friends, uml an humble journalist lias
been chosen ns the victim for their
slanderous darts. We have endeavored
to light the campaign from the otiset
on high purty grounds, and leave
those disgusting personalities for oth
ers. But it is not our wish or inten
tion to appeal to the sympathy of the
people by un expose of the petty and
partisan persecution to which we have
been subjected; but rather to expose
uml nip In the bud the false cry by
which Congressman Speek attempts
to draw the eyes of the public from nig
vulnerable political record. In time
our secret enemies will And that we
arc not to lie frightened or abused
Irom the stand we have taken to wrest
our district front the hands of ignorant
negroes and give its control over unto
tlic wiiite element, uml they will then
cease their assaults. We arc en
trenched within our sanctum, armed
with the pen, and shall continue our
tight ugninst independentisin, rad
icalism and coalition until the lost
ballot is dropped into tiie^liox at the
congressional election next full. We
feel fully a tile to defend ourself if as
sailed; but we cannot afford to notice
every blackmailer who seeks to
draw our Are from the main target at
issue. It is independence and radi
calism that we are hero to combat,
and cannot waste Are upon dummies
purposely set up to screen the chief
of this miserable faction.
the meeting that the character of the
participants could never impart. Mr.
Stephens has not accepted this ten
der of nit otllce from these nine de-
palrlng politicians and we have not
the most remote idea that he will date,
so. It will have no more weight or
(■caring upon hint than if an equal
number of wharf-rats or south Geor
gia gophers got tip and tendered him
the nomination. This grnnd mass-
meet i n g of n 1 ne represen ts noth i ug but
the idle gas of a few defeated, unsuc
cessful and unscrupulous office-seekers
It will lie the height of folly for the
great organized demociatic party of
Georgia to submit to being bulldozed,
out of their candidate by any such a
gang. If Mr. Stephens is the choice
of the democracy of the. state we aay
let him be nominated and made our
standard-bearer, despite the nine lat
ter-day Solons who are so despairing
ly clinging to his coat-tail, hoping
that he may drag them from.the bog
into which they have fallen. When
Mr. Stephens accepts that Markham
House tender there is time'enough for
a howl to ascend from the organized
press. We venture the -prediction,
however, that he will pay no attention
whatever to them.
TO INDEPENDENT CORRESPOND
ENTS.
Wc will lake this occasion to state
that the Banner-Wutchmun is not an
independent paper, and so we must
respectfully decline to publish any
more communications front that par
ty—unless they Jbe in direct reply to
some attack made upon a private pur
ty; and in that case of course wc will
do the assailed justice to give him a
hearing. We consider our space too
valuable to donate It to this purpose—
not that we fear any argument they
may briug forward. The independ
ents have an organ at Gainesville, to
which they can resort for redress of
any imaginary grievance or to ex
pound their political doctrine. Our
subscribers arc beginning to already
conipluin about tills trespass made
upon our spaee, us it is not the kihd of
literature they pay for and want to
read. No organized democrat has
ever as yet asked a hearing through
the columnsof their Gainesville paper.
We will, however, state that our col
umns are ever opeu to Mr. Speer for
any explanation or statement he de
sires to mala—provided, he 'Writes
over his own name and not through
proxy. He, us the representative of
the Independent party, is our political
target, und not the few private indi
viduals whom he has gathered into
his fold. So when a shot grazes Mr.
Speer's head we will right here state
that it was not Ared at his surround
ings, but aimed directly at the bull’s-
eye of coalition-independence. So
gentlemen, please be seated. When
your opinion is wanted we shall cer-
taiulycull your names. So you will
hereafter direct your independent
communications to the Gainesville
Southron—unless you wish to make a
gratuitous contribution to our kind
ling-wood next fall, to help out the
supply of spring poetry, which crop
is rather short.
MR. STEPHENS FOR GOVERNOR.
Ever since the action of the great
coalman-independent mass-meeting
of fline in Atlanta, backed and guided
by the letter of our own Mr. Emory"
Speer, our attitude in regard to the
gubernatorial candidacy of Mr. Steph
ens remains unchanged. That en
dorsement is as thin as tissue paper,
and any sensible man, we think, can
see through it. The mass-meeting ol
these political revolQtloplsts, or more
properly speaking coalitionists, turn
ing out the stupendous failure that
- every 'sensible -man predicted,, the
originators found that something
must be done to preserve even the
appearance of organization. As a for
lorn hope they past their despairing
eyes over the state and centered on the
well-known popularity ofMr. Steph
ens, to bolster up the.infamous cause,
well-knowing that even his nsme
would give a certain respectability to
MR; SPEER AND THE DEMOSTHE
NIAN SOCIETY. ..... ..
Some tint* before the Rountree
tragedy the Demosthenlan society of
the State University. elected Mon,
Emory Speer first Vice President
Bad the secretary, Mr. FRAMER, in' con
veying this honor to that gentleman
paid him a very high compliment,
concluding by reference to that “pig
my” opposition to his political course.
Oar esteemed contemporary,' the Ma
con Telegraph it Messenger, seems to take
exceptions to tills action on the part
of these students, and proceeds to
read them a lecture. Now every one
knows we are no greater advocate of
the political course ofour- congress
man than the T. <t .V., but at the saute
time we must recognize his great
ability and confess that he is a son to
whom our state college can point
witli conscious pride. Mr. Speer is
agruduateoftliat institution, he was
a member of the Deinosthenian socie
ty, while itl« distinguished father is
to-day an honored and revered profes
sor in the University. Taking all
these tilings into consideration,we see
nothing wrong in the young men of
11so Deinosthenian society electing
him to this honorable position. On
the other hand, we think it a most
opportune and deserved eoinpliuieiit.
Colleges are not political societies,
lint institutions of learning. It would
indeed lie a nice pass if our sting were
eneouraged to turn their literary socie
ties into political cauldrons. The
compliment that the Demosthenian
society paid Mr. Speer was not an
endorsement of his political record—
for we know to a certainty that a large
majority of the students are bitterly
opposed to the principles espoused by
our congressman—but it was simply a
trihuic to his profound fenniing and
the high position taken by a member
of tlieir society. As to Mr. Secretary
Frazier's gratuitous a<hle,ulum.\t was
simply a bit of volunteered Informa
tion on liis part, entirely unauthorized
—so we are told by members—and
represents- only his own sentiments.
At a meeting of the society Friday
night, we are reliably informed, this
fact was made known In the hall. It
is unfortunate that Mr. Frazier did
not embody his closing eulogy and
denunciation in a separate letter, over
his own signature—%>ul it Is now too
late to remedy the trouble. But we
do not suppose Mr. Speer’s “pigmy”
assailants will permit this slur to
completely annihilate them, now that
they discover it originated in the sin
gle brain of a “lone, lorn’’ student.
As to that unfortunate Rountree
tragedy, of course no one is so silly as
to think that Congressman Speer
either countenanced or sympathized
with the outrage. AVe lay at the
door of his inordinate and selfish am
bition the corrupt era that now marks
politics in Athens and the ninth dis
trict; the prostitution of high federal
offices, and the defiant and insolent
bearing that for a time marked our
colored population—but we do not
suppose a person In Athens more
deeply deplores this tragedy than Mr.
Emory Speer. While- his party
doubtless encouraged and nerved the
spirit that lead to this assault - by ele
vating nn inferior race over the whites
—at the same time we believe that
Mr. Speer would have unhesitatingly
stood beside his alma mater had the
contest narrowed to nn issue between
Hint institution and his further pro
motion.
We And nothing to condemn in the
action of the Deinosthenian society
with regard to their course with Mr.
SrEER; and must express surprise
that some parents have gone so far as
to threaten to remove their sons from
college unless the action of tills pri
vate society is reversed. It seems that
they have an eye more to the political
than the intellectual training of their
sons.
In our future course towards Mr.
Emory SPEEK as in the past, we ex
pect to neither show nor ask ijuarter
lilthenending political contest; but
we cannot stand idly by and see so
trivial u matter as a lot of college
boys lion,.ring un old society-mate,
who has risen to honor and distinc
tion, tortured into what might prove
a mortiilcation to that gentleman. It
really smacks of persecution, and
will injure any cause that adopts such
means to discomfit a political oppo-
ponent. If the organized democracy
can’t win the day and convince the
people of the infamy of this independ
ent movement by strictly party argu
ments, we will incept defeat with
good grace. YVe feel that Mr. Speer
lias a political record that will retire
him to the shades or private life, with
out his opponents condescending to
such ultra means to accomplish liis
overthrow.
