BANNER-WATCHMAN OfFICIALORGAN OF CITY ANDCOUNTY subscription, *1 m her year in advance! LARGEST CIRCULATION -11 NORTHEAST GEORGIA. YANCEY. CRANFORD * GANTT PROPERS. * f T. C. GANTT, Editor. — HON,'ALLEN'D _ CAFl"bLEH The DeniOfratic candidate for con gress In the ninth district will address the people on the issues involved In the present campaign at the following times and places to-wit: Jefferson, Saturday, Sept. 23d. ltlalrsvllle, Tuesday, Sept. 2(lth. Cleveland, Thursday, Sept. 28th. Gainesville, Saturday, Sept. 30th. Camesville, Tuesday, Oct. 3d. Homer, Wednesday, Oct. 4th. DaniclsviUe, Friday, Oct. Cth. ‘ Athens, Saturday, Oct. 7th. 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 the disguft of the most decent element pfthe county. * >•••' 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. FALSE TESTIMONY OROCERIES. SADDLES & HARNESS. td 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 ' . i ... i i. . . 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.
