All who desire good government
and uii who desire to hear the truth
dispassiouately spoken are cordially
Invited to be present.
We will publish his appointments
In the counties as soon ns they are
made. It Is Col. Candler’s inteution
to address the people in every county
in the district.
The Atlnuta Herald publishes
piece of original poetry on (iartrell.
The j»oor victim has our deepest sym
pathy at this sore aftlictlon. The Gen
eral has good grounds now for a perse
cution campaign.
In hituJeflerson speech Mr. Speer
omitted that part of his patent oration
that refers to I)r. Orr, as Jackson coun
ty is the old home of that gentleman,
lie uses It in sections where the Dot-
toi is not known.
Augusta News: In spite of his 4,000
majority two years ugo, Emory Speer,
it is said, is having an up-hill race for
congress in the Ninth district. The
democrats iu all the counties are hack
ing his opponent, Col. Allen D. Can
dler.
Macon Telegraph: Emory Si*t*r
should not confound Gov. Colquitt
with the Democratic party. If Col
quitt lias acted as badly as he has, then
that simply shows that both of them
ought to be bouneed. This is the way
the matter looks to us.
One who knows says the editorials in
the Filtli-Slinger that speak of Its
candidate as “Mr. Speer," are written
by our congressman himself; but
those designating the young coali
tionist as “Our Emory,” are from the
pen of the old Yankee-Doodle.
In his Jefferson speech Mr. Speer, in
one of his chaste flights of eloquence
says he had rather kiss a nigger baby
than Gantt, of the Banner-Watchman.
Wonder if he refer's to “Miss" Tol-
liert’s baby? Perhaps Edwin tselcher,
a colored republican, can tell.
Clarkcsvillc Advertiser: The state,
incut in flic Gainesville Southron that
HalxTsham county held no meeting to
elect delegates to the Gainesville Con
vention, is a misrepresentation. We
know that there was a meeting held
and delegates appointed. We gave
notice of tlie meeting in the first issue
of this ]Hi]>er after the meeting was
held. Truth is lovely.
Mr. Tom Hodgson, In defense of
his patron, Mr. Speer, says that Mr.
('. W. Davis was among the first ap
plications on file for the Athens post-
ofilce. It is a well-known fact in
Athens that Mat Davis was one of the
last to apply for the position, and he
only did so when it was discovered
that Mr. Speer was determined to give
us a negro postmaster.
Charlie Willingham, Dr. Felton’s
organ grinder at Cartersville, is in a
pitiable condition. His boss makes
him jump from side to side of the po
litical ring, to the crock of his whip,
and Mr. Willingham’s long career ns
a journalists has at last ended in the
poor old man becoming the laughing
stock of the press and people. We
sympathise with him truly in his
downfall from party and consistency.
The Mneon Graphic, edited by a
eousin to Emory Sjieer, and which
pai>er lias lteen battling for him, now
yields the victory to Candler in the fol
lowing handsome style: “Hon. Allen
D. Candler is making a splendid can
vass in the Ninth it is suld, and his
friends have every faitli in his elec
tion.” So it is seen that Mr. Speer’s
own kinsnmu now comes over to the
Candler side.
Clarkcsvillc Advertiser: After Em
ory's speech here he left fully satisfied
that he had lost heavily in this eounty,
and that he proved none of the charges
made against him to he false, and that
if his si»eech had any telling effect,
that It wns in favor of Mr. Candler.
He is beginning to’feel the effects of
Ids radical proclivities.
Gainesville Eagle: We are reliably
informed that that ‘largest and most
enthusiastic’ crowd that listened to
Speer’s speech at Jefferson last Mon
day, consisted of aliout two hundred,
and that the principal ‘whooper’ was
a mulatto who expects to get the posi
tion of postmaster at that place. So
another large crowd dwindles down to
nothing and all of Speer's gas will end
in nothing. The people are slek of his
galvanised explanations.
The Atlanta Herald acknowledges
receiving a check from Mr. Speer, but
says it was given in payment for an
other debt than the political influence
of the sheet. Are the editors now will
ing to make an affidavit that Mr.
Speer has not written articles in his
own liehalf for that paper, nor has ask
ed to he permitted to do so? When a
ne wspaper so suddenly flops over from
abusing a candidate, and begins to
shower him with the most nauseating
flattery, the suspicions of the public
generally become aroused—especially
when said candidate has openly in
sulted one of the editors of his new or
gan by denominating him as a tramp.
SPEER IK MORGAN.
Arrives In the City nod In Mat by Harrison
Harris. Horan Hour Ha la Closatsd with Ibis
Ntgro Politician.
From the Xadimmian,
* After i»eing heralded from mountain
to dale, from mansion to hovel, the great
Independent politlcia! coquette of the
Ninth district, Emory Speer, arrived in
Madison last Saturday, to give an ac
count of his stewardship and defendf ?)
ills spotted and disgusting record. He
was met by his pet and paid ally, Harri
son Harris,a prominent negro politician,
aiul after a friendly hand-shaking at the
depot, was followed to the hotel by his
dusk^ supporter, where for an hour the
pair wasgocrotely closeted, holding a
conference over qfairt fa politique.
Hr. 8/ioer’s presence in the city fail-
' ed to produce tlic enthusiasm which his
' lienohmen and voluntary supporters pre
dicted. True,» great crowd, composed
principally ©f negro*, answered to the
call to rally around this man of political
Infomy-bat this only served to increase

MR. SPEER ANDTHAT INJUNCTION.
.Shortly after Mr. Speer issued thaj
injunction against thi3 office, forbid
ding tile publication of ms letters An
radicals and negroes, he had publish
ed in liis Gainesville organ.s lengthy
article of defense, in which that gen
tleman stated that lie was not shamed
of auy letter that lie had written, and
that the injunction was only taken
out as a matter of protection uutil he
oould come before the people, wheu
he pledged himself to remove the
same and give the correspondence to
Ills constituents. While this promise
seemed very reasonable and plausible
to a man who had not read these let
ters, those who knew the contents felt
that it was but a blind to silence judg
ment, when he hoped, by his plausi
ble eloquence, to convince people
against their will and still keep con
cealed the damning documents that
fairly convicted him of not oqly con.
spiring with the republican adminis
tration to overthrow the democratic
party in Georgia, bnt further proved
that his whole aim and ambition was
to fill the highest offices within his
gift with his colored friends. When
that promise of lifting the vail first
appeared, we at the time stated that
Mr. ripeerhad no intention of fulfill
ing it, for we knew he dare not fare there
letter* and a touthern audirnee. True to
our prediction, Mr. Speer began his
political rounds by entirely ignoring
these documents, his whole line of ar
gument being that he was the victim
of persecution. To test the falsity of
bis promise to lift the injunction, we
patiently waited for two weeks, to
find that he was treating the matter
with the greatest silence; and It was
then that we employed counsel to con
test the matter In the courts. What
was the result? So far from Mr. Speer
lifting the injunction be employs the
ablest counsel to lie had for the pur
pose of combating their publication—
and we even learn that should he lose
his case before Judge Erwin that the
the matter wi.l be carried to the su
preme court. In fact, Mr. Speer has
already manifested his iuteution to
resort to any means by which he can
delay this damning and conclusive
evidence until after the election. He
knows the character of these docu
ments as well as we, and he further
feels that their publication would eter
nally seal his political fate as a demo
crat. He clings to that injunction
like a drowning man would to a straw,
for in the suppression of these letters
lies his only hope of success.
In his speeches Mr. Speer has built
np charges of straw, for the express
purpose of knocking them over.
He appeals to the mercy and com
passion ef the people, but he has never
as yet attempted to answer the prin
cipal charge against him: “Why is it
that you silenced the written evidence
of your official record by taxing re
fuge behind the law?” Until he per
mits the publication of every onr of the
Christy letters the people will feel that
he has been guilty of public acts that
he is ashamed to face—and well may
they so decide. We see in the last is
sue of his Gainesville sheet that Mr.
Tom Hodgson, one of his appointees
in Washington, comes to his rescue
about the Davis letter. Mr. Hodgson
is our friend, and we have no issue
with him him. That he would do all
in his power to shield his patron Is
hut natural. But if Mr. Speer will
only lift bis injunction, and let us
publish only two of his tetters to lead
ing colored republicans in tills dis
trict, wo will settle the fact beyond
tlie shadow of a doubt that Mr. Speer
is not only solely responsible for the
appoiuiment of Mat Davis as post
master at Athens, but gloats over the
degradation he lias placed upon his
white constituency. All that lie can
have published or say will avail
naught so long as he screens his po
litical acts behind the law. Empty
words count for but little in the face
of direct proof—and that proof the
Banner-Watchman has now in its
possession.
Mr. Speer cannot escape by affirm
ing that these are private letters. Has
he not himself set the example of pub
lishing private correspondence? He
saw nothing wrong In reading Col
Bell’s strictly private letters from the
stump, and is now heralding a simi
lar document from Gov. Colquitt. But
when the other side gains possession
of Mr. Speer’s political correspondence,
the gentleman yells out thief, traitor,
and other hard terms. We fhrther
deny the correspondence in our pos
session, being private letters. They
are simply political documents, writ
ten by the agent of the people on mat 1
ters relating to public business, and
they have a right to read them aud
judge as to the manner in which their
trust has been discharged.
Mr. Speer may wail and rant; his
organ at Gainesville may abuse and
sweat; Ills friends and supporters in
side and outside of the district may ex
plain and praise; but so long as Mr,
Emory Speer screens his political acts
behiud that injunction, aud strangles
a public Journal with the fingers of
the courts, he had as well remain in
his office and bis friends silent—for
the people will not listen to any expls
nation. They demand that he per
mit the publication of the Christy
letters, and they can then judge as to
the manner in which he has discharg
ed his duty.

INTERVIEW WITH COLONEL LIV<
INGSTON.
This gentleman, thi regular nomi
nee for state senator in this district,
gave us a pleasant call, Thursday, and
seemed confident of his success. “I
shall carry my own county (Newton)
as a unit,” was the reply to our ques
tion, “for both the white and colored
vote is solid for me. I think I also
stand an excellent chance of defeating
Stewart in bis borne. I have thor
oughly canvassed Walton, and find
that I shall be supported by both the
independents and democrats. I have
not as yet visited the town of Wat-
kinsvllle, bnt passed through Oconee,
and found not a single man hat pledg
ed me his hearty support. In tact, I
can’t see how is could be more solid.
I have not as yet had an opportunity
of feeling the political pulse of Clarke,
but don’t think your people will be
too hard upon me. I have not a shad
ow of doubt of my election bj a very
large majority. This is not an inde
pendent district, and the people will
not endorse any step that looks to
wards the dlsrapture of the party. I
owe, however, to the party that nomi
nated me to leave no stone untamed
that insures Its success, and I shall
certainly do my full duty toward
making a thorough canvass.”
Col. Livingston is an aflable gentle
man, with a commanding hearing
and a splendid pwe. He has already
carved quite a name in the Georgia
Legislature. He is a fine speaker, and
gill make a senator that will reflect
honor upon onr district. ,
Hr. Ben HH1 declines to be an aspirant
for the appointment of U. 8. Senator to
fill his father’s unexpirel term.
In the last issue of his Gainesville
organ, Mr. Spear, in his^righgtoufTin
dignation, gives what We might term
an bsaf of veracity between himself
aud Governor Colquitt. Tho follow
ing is the document that our congress
man lias been reading over the dis
trict, wit,, the hope of shielding him
self from the responsibility of appoint
ing one of his colored ring-leaders to
the Athens post-office, which wa pre
sume is a genuine copy of the Govern
or’s letter:
State of Georgia, Ex. Dept. )
Atlanta, Ga., April 4th, 1881. )
Wm. A. Pledger, a colored citizen,
is well known to me. I am acquaint
ed with him aa a private citizen, and
1 know him also In the more public
character of an editor, and one hold
ing high rank as a representative oi
his party in this state. In every rela
tion which he has sustained to socie
ty, so Car as I know he has conducted
himself with a most £owmendable re
gard for the duties of a good citizen. 1 > |»
regard Pledger as one of unsual in-
telligence and culture for one of bis
race, his opportunities having been
good and well improved.
Signed: Alfred H. Colquitt.
We have already given the true his
tory of this letter, and explained that
it was simply an endorsement as to
the character of Pledger, given by Gov
ernor Colquitt when that colored man
was about to start on a trip to the
north. It had no political significance
whatever, but simply a Christian
courtesy that the Governor extended
a leading member of his church. To
show the utter falseness of Mr. Speer’s
charge that it was an endorsement of
Pledger as an applicant for the Ath
ens post-office, yoic hare only to rraminr
the date of the letter, which is April 4th,
1881, rerrral month* before even Plcdyer
thought if applying for the office. Tills
fact is sufficient to satisfy tlie dullest
mind tiiat Governor Colquitt told sim
ply the truth, aud that Mr. Speer is
seeking to justify his own acts by
reading an old letter that was written
months before any change in the Atlv
ens post-office was evercontemplated
This was one of the strong points in
his public defence, but to him it has
proved to be a water-haul. Governor
Colquitt stauds vindicated, while Mr.
Emory Speer is branded with a base
attempt to impose upon the credulity
of his audience by reading to them an
old letter that has no bearing what
ever upon the question at issue.
By carefully rea«liug the letter you
will see that it Is simply what Gov
ernor Colquitt says It is—a letter of
introduction for Pledger as a private
citizen. There is nothing in it that
any one can condemn, and we must
say it most favorably compares with
those sickening “My Dear Mat" let
ters that Mr. Speer himself has been
writing to his colored ring leaders
over the ninth. He has enjoined us
against publishing his own letters,
but unhesitatingly reproduces in his
vile organ a private letter from Gov
ernor Colquitt. Now isn’t this beau
tiful consistency!
Bu‘ in the same column as appears
this letter,Mr. Speer, over bis own sig
nature, convicts himself of affiliation
with the republican party. In his de
fense Mr. Speer says: “The endorse
ment's in my possession, in Governor
Colquitt’s paper handwriting.”. Now
every man acquainted with the rules
of the government department knows
that unless Mr. Speer is in full sym
pathy with tlie radical authorities,
and has special claims upon it, that
he would not be permitted to take the
original of a state paper from the files
and carry it off. By this one utterance
he convicts himself as being in con
spirnoy with there publicans and fixes
upon his head,over his own signature,
one of the gravest charges we have
made against him.
MORE POLITICS AND LESS PER
SONALISM.
Has not the political degeneracy of the
time become somewhat alarming? In
the good olden times our candidates for
pnblic office were expected to discuss
before their constituents, principles and
the great political questions which were
for the consideration of the people,
This was not only expected, but was al
ways the purpose of a canvass on tlie
part of those seeking high places at the
hands of the people. Then why is
that in this day and time we hear no
more of these things, and In their stead
only a continuous and tiresome review
of the personal record of the several
candidates, thereby tearing the people
to determine their fitness for office, not
so much by their views sn(l convictions
as tosonnd administrative principles
government, or upon the great political
questions of the day, as by their respec
tive personal records and personal pop
ularity with those whose suffrage they
seek? Are tke people,composing as they
do, a most Intelligent constituency, con
tent with tills state of affairs, with snch
a style of canvass on the part of those
asking office at their hinds? and that,
too, when such grave questions as tlie
“tariff,” the “revenue laws,” the “fi
nances of the cqnntry,” “popular edu
cation at the hands of government,”
“internal improvements to the general
government,” etc., furnish most import
ant issues for political discussion—Issues
which should receive the wisest aud
most prnfonnd consideration ? As these
are questions upon the settlement of
which the futnre prosperity or the con
tinued oppression of this conntry so
largely depends, it would seem but right
and just that the people should hear
somewhat of them from those who are
candidates for high trust at their hands.
In justice to both people and candidates,,
let there be more of politics and less of
personalism. ' L '

LETTER FROM DAHLOHEGA.
Dahloneoa, Ga., 8ej.L IS, 1882.
Editor Banner-Watchman:—In an
editorial of your last issue, we were
pleased to see that you doi not de
nounce all good democrats Who sup
ported Hr. Speer In bis last election.
We claim to be an Independent dem
ocrat and supported Speer because we
believed he waa right and also a good
democrat. And we found no fault with
him as long as he acted fairly and
squarely with the democratic party;
but his last record in oongfess we
cannot endorse, and Spderis toblaihe
fur that himself. No sound democrat
wW supportjhim fhrther. Alter be has
betrayed the confidence We had in him
“No man can serve two parties ; let
him be independent or otherwise.”
And it is plain to nil thinking in-:-n
that Speer has been plajrlng a double
hand; he hi a democrat among demo
crats! and aiwpubhean among repub
licans—Just as it aolts Ills' purpose.
We cull this too much ihaepeiident-
Ism, and wilt support Candler because
wo believ« bint to be a true democrat,
and wiil act with the party. We know
of, aeyeial of Speer’s strongestsupport
ers In the last election, who are now
all for Candler; and we predict that
old Lumpkin will go for Candler by
