OFFICIAL ORGAN OF CITY AND COUNTY SUBSCRIPTION, M PER YEAR IN ADVANCE LAEGEST CiECDLATIOl II 10BTEEAST GEORGIA. YANCEY, CRANFORD A OANTT PROP'RS. T. L. GANTT, Editor. 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.
