Jetluniouiau democracy and tliejvor-
•ocution wail have become two of the
greatest nuisances that ever entered
the poliUeal arena of Ueorgia.
There is a regular ground-swell of
enthusiasm all over the district for
Caudler. He will sweep the old 9th
by 9,000 majority. '•««•>< •
Wonder If Mr. Speer had the pro
priety to postpone his speech in
(ialnesville, upon the intelligence of
the death of his benefactor, Mr. Hill?
We met four gentlemen In one crowd
in Gainesville, who had always sup
ported Mr. Hpeer, and they averred
their intention to goto work now for
Candler. . . ,, . ,
Allen Candler, when’ elected, will
see that none but acceptable and com
petent men are placed in office. He
has no axe to sharpen oh some nigger
grindstone.

lished at Qaldesville, Is distributed

A man who ret uses to think or rea

of a selfish pelttlotan, will oertulnly
be for Mr. Spefer. 1 '' *'' *

We' find that Mr, pandler la even
stronger titan Judge Ecwlil In the
mountains, and we believe that he
will send a majority of 4,000 to meet
•is at the Air Line.
If the mountain boys would come
down to Athens, and hear how the ne
groes are yelling for Speer, they
would soon discover-which is the
white man's party.
The tlrst money that Hon. Alleu D.
Candler earned be devotedto building
a comfortable home for his mother in
Homer. He is one of the best anti
truest men in the district.
From Speer’s account of Ills public
services we see no use of having a
President, cabinet or congress. The
whole burden of making and repealing
laws devolved upon his shoulders.
Our district will have one of the
best men ill the state in the senate
next term—Hon. Pope Barrow. He
will undoubtedly be a leader in the
senate, ns he was in the lower house.
If Mr. Speer Is a true democrat, why
is it that he is so heartily endorsed by
every nigger and radical convention
that has yet convened in Georgia?
Democrats, did you ever think of
this?
Mr. Speer openly boasts that he car
ries the vote of the ninth district in
his vest pocket. Yes, but th'e odor
that arises from the class of votes he
«.-fries there will drive every white
limn from his support.
The Gainesville Filth-Slinger hasn’t
nor can’t deny our charge that the
laudatory editorial! ?) In defence of
“Our Emory” was written by that
gentleman himself. We produced
proof that could not be gotten around.
Wo are anxiously awaiting to see
Bradford dony copying that Habun let
ter. He can’t dodge the issue by sim
ply asserting tliat lie is not the author
of it. If we mistake not, he is the au
thor of nothing save a few radical
votes.
The Eagle says that Hall will give
Candler 1,000 majority. „.
Judge Erwin feels not a shadow of
doubt about Candler’s election.
And even old daddy Felton la. try*,
ing to play on the persecution harp.
There Is more eloquence in “Uncle
Allen’s” grasp than there Is in Emo
ry’s sophomore speeches.
The white democrats in the district
are d ropplng off from Emory Speer’s
support like leaves before the autumn
blast :

The republican and negro papers in
Georgia are earnestly advocating Em
ory Speer for congress In the ninth
district. Isn't (hi* rather significant?
If Speer Isn’t re-elected It won’t be
through want of electioneering py
colored postmaster In Athena. We
nover.saw a more enthusiastic work

Mr. Candler says he does not accept
tlie nomination as a mere matter of
form; but he goeB In to win and' will
be elected. Our nominee has never
been defeated at any task he under
took.
While Candler was building rail
roads and .developing his county,
Speer was prancing around behind a
fine pair of horses, unpaid for, and
trying by incendiary harrangues to
organise the. negroes against the
wliitesw
Mr. Cuudler intends to meet in per
son every man in the ninth district
before Jhy pampalgn is 6ver. So hold
your vote until you see the little game-
cock of tlie' I democracy. “Uncle
Allen” will wrap himself all around
your confidence and respect.
A voter who will, close his ears to
argument, and let s smooth-tongued
political .trickster like Mr. Speer do
all the. thinklng.forihim, deserves to
serve under nlgges office-holders. .If
you are a^niati, prov* it by thluklng
and acting for yourself. Dou’tbe a
slave to Speer’s fate promises and
treacherous record, i u, ■.
After patiently waiting for Mr.
Speer to fulfill Ids promise made
through the FlUh-Sliiiger and remove
flint injunction from tills office, we
have decided to test the matter iu the
courts aud have filed our answer. We
will see now if we are not permitted
to give those damning letters to the
people, penned by their agent in
Washington to negroes and radicals
in the district.
When Mr. Speer was notified of
Candler’s nomination, he smilingly
remarked, “Well, I shall have Allen
to treat!” But you could see that he
dreaded the little game cock of the
deiuocraoy, who is kuowu to aud be
loved by every man, woman and child
nrrthoftlie Air-Line, and who has
done more to build up and develop
his section than any ten men in the
district.
Mr. M. Thornton, of Atlanta, the
self-gppoiuted chairman of a mythical
“lllieral” party in Georgia, some time
ago published a call for a Conference
of Ills party in that city for the 15th
instant (Tuesday.) It yas not nu
merously attended, as ye gather from
our exchanges' that the entire assem
blage consisted of tllj&fe spectators and
three newspaper me\\. Jn consequence
the show adjQurued oyer, to w.ait for
an audience.
Wo knew .It was false when the
Filth-Slinger at Gainesville promised
upon ihugetttrn of,Mr* Speer that he
would re move our injunction and per
mit the publication, of those Christy
letters. Mr. Hpeer, haanlt mentioned
that subject, and >we again defy. him

with Hannah. fWkaanWBtabllih the
fact'tbbtuMr. • Speer’s' audience
Gainesville Eagle: Speer said in his
Athens speech, last week: ‘1 am a
democrat among democrats.” Yes,
Emory, and among republicans you
are a'republican. And that is what
the people don’t like.
It is claimed that Dr. Speer’s re
moval was poliUeal persecution. Dr.
Miller, one of the leading Independ
ent* in Georgia, voted against him in
the matter. This don’t smack, much
of democratic persecution.. , i.lu, i
The working men in -Athens are
organizing a Candler effib; They- to.
tend to carry the man chosen from
their own ranks safely through the
victory. Mr. Speer has no sympathy
or for the laboring classes.
Allen Caudler is a friend to the
working man and carved his own way
unaided to fame and fortune. He is
noble example for your children, as
his life shows what a poor boy can
become by hard work aud untiring
energy.
Mr. Speer has heretofore always
managed somehow to keep the de
mocracy on the defensive. Now the
tables are turned and all the hope
‘Our Emory” has is to jump behind
Judge Erwin’s hack and yell out per
secution.
Dr. Speer is a high-toned, Christian
gentleman, honored and revered by
ail; and when an ouly son attempts
to drag the name of such a father into
the filth and slime of a political can
vass, to build up persecution material,
he will bring upon his own head the
contempt ot all good citizens.
Mr. George C. Thomas, of the Wat-
kinsvillo railroad barbecue commit
tee, denies that Mr. Speer baa been
Invited to deliver a speech there. He
says they intend to discard politics
and talk railroad, aud the citizens of
Oconee will discountenance any ef
fort to turn the gathering into a pollt-
caf meeting.
The democracy of the 9th district
are able to tote their own skillet, and
they do not want any political
speeches from outside parties. Our
little game-cock at Gainesville is
enough to tackle the independent
Plymouth Rock, with hie spotted po
litical plumage and his radical pro
clivities.
A Georgia congressman says there
is now on file in Washington a letter
written by Mr. Emory Speer, asking
an appointment on Arthur’s cabinet,
in which he states that he (Speer) has
done more to break up the democratic
party than any man in the south. The
gentleman says he has seen and read
the letter. ' .r >■! -i' •
With Candler in congress, out la
boring classes will have a representa
tive from their own ranks, to the
national assembly; gad a mao, , .too,
to whom they.cau point with honest
pride. Alleu Candler will not , shirk
a party vote by going on on invalid
tour to some pleasure resort at* time
when the democratic party most needs
bis services. ■ < - I
No one ever accused Mr. Speer of
being responsible for the Rountree
murder. It was charged that he is
responsible for the insolent bearing .of
the negroes, by elevating them to im
portant offices over white men, and
we reassert tliis charge. He Is quite
welcome to make all the persecution
material out of this that he cau.

Guiteau’s fatal attack on President
Garfield was not alone a bonanza for
the stalwarts and the doctors, but for
a score or more of undertakers, uphol
sterers, clerks, attendants and other
vntplopes as well. The raids contem

The Atlanta Herald says: The or
ganized democrats of Oglethorpe
county permitted 457 negroes to vote
to their oongreeslonal primary. Do
they pretend that those negroes were
organized democrats?' Can they be
relied upon to support the principles
ef the party in all emergencies? Or
were they used as tools with which to
defeat the friends of Col. Black? This
Oglethorpe coalition is one that will
bear much explanation.
