were never delivered on the floor of

to party, looking only to hi* own ele

his white constituency.
Mr. Speer boasted of his influence
with the administration, and seemed
proud of this open acknowledgment
that he had bartered hia party princi
ples for public pap. It ia a well-known
fact that President Arthur has fre
quently and oprnly declared that
none but a republican could receive
favor at hU bands. We simply refer
to Mr. Speer’s own word and his
record to show every democrat where
he has drifted.
He touched upon the Rabun letter,
written by himself or hireling and
copied by bispoor tool In Clarkesville,
and said that he was confident it wat
concocted in thd Banner-Watch

thirty'years. But he did not have the
honesty to tell his hearers that the
editor of this paper denounced the
threat, the day after it appeared;
neither did he say that bis Clarkes-

party since the race. The very fact of
Bradford having no thought of bis
