T. L. OANTT, Editor.
MR. SPEER ACKNOWLEDGES THE
TRUTH OF THE CHRISTY LETTERS.
It will be remembered tbat in Mr.
Speer’s bill of injunction, filed against
this office, he charged that we intend
ed to falsify his letters, by changing
their tone. Mr. Speer knew at the
time that the parties heeqjoined were
incapable of such a mean act, and
his only reason for making this asser
tion was to give the appearance of rea
son for his unparalleled act in sneak
ing behind the law to prevent his po
litical correspondence being seen by
his constituents.
But when the case was up for trial
the quick eye of Capt. Barrow detected
this flaw in the bill, and he at once
sprung the mine under Mr. Speer’s
able counsel—for the law emphatically
says you cannot restrain a man from
publishing a libel. So Mr. Speer’s at
torney at once asked time (or consid
eration and consultation with bis cli
ent, which request the court granted.
The consequence was the bill of injunc
tion is so amended that Mr. Speer now
not only acknowledges, but swears to
the fact of Henry P. Christy having
in his possession true copies of his let
ters, and he openly retracts the charge
of falsification, before a court of jus
tice.
This is certainly a glorious victory
for the Banner-Watchman. Mr. Speer
retracts his slander and publicly de
clares that certain words in his first
injunction were false. Tills was a
mortifying confession for him—but It
was simply a question of whether the
Injunction would be lifted? or shall I
own to the truth of those letters and
be assured of the protection of the
courts? He widely accepted the lat
ter horn of the dilemma, well know
ing that the publication of tlieChristy
letters would eternally seal his doom
in not only the ninth district, but the
eutire south.
But not even the humiliating confes
sion by Mr. Speer that he himself had
falsified the intention of the proprie
tors of the jianner-Watchman, will
shield him from public scorn. Those
Christy letters will ever hang over his
head like the sword of Damocles,ready
to strike him down when he aspires
to official prominence. I.ike the curse
of the Wandering Jew, they will
follow him wherever he goes. They
will cling to bis back, as the Old Man
of th« Island, and as queen May re-
mused of Calais, when carried to his
grave, Mr. Speer will find engraven in
letters of lead upon his heart, “Those
Christy Letters.” He to-day
stands forth prominently as the only
public servant in Georgia, aye in the
south, who resorted to law to protect
ills official record from the eyes of his
constituents. We had sooner bear a
thousand honorable defeats than this
brand of political cowardice.
We do not intend, either, that Mr.
.Speer shall further evade public cen
sure by claiming that we have his pri
vote letters in our possession. If there
lie a private letter among the collec
tion owned by Mr. Christy we have
never seen it, and neither do we care
to see It. What we do wish to lay be
fore the public is his inspiring cor
respondence with republicans within
and without the district, and also cer
tain letters written to his colored lead'
ers, either touching upon the appoint
ment or removal of some officer.
These letters we assert prove Mr.
Speer’s political record in congress,
aud the people have a right to demand
that they l»e made publio. We again
assert that we will give n good and
solvent bond, in the sum of $10,000. or
even more, if necessary, not to pub
lish a single letter written by Mr.
Speer, unless it refers, directiy or in
directly. to the appointment or re
moval of some government officer.
The people are not interested in his
private letters; but they do wish to know
the manner in which Congressman
Speer has discharged the trust they
reposed in him.
We cannot see how he can decline
this fair proposition. H,e certainly
cannot do so consistently—for is s:
Mr. Speer to-day reading from the
stump, and even publishing in his
radical sheet at Gainesville, letters of
exactly the same character as the ones we
now have in our possession ? Does he
wish to be placed in the cowardly at
titude of having an opponent bound
over to keep the peace, and then as
saulting him when he knows be can
not strike back? This is what Mr.
Emory Speer is doing to-day. He has
his own letters of conspiracy with re
publicans and his negro leaders, lock'
ed up by the law, while he himself is
usir.; precisely the same kind of let
ters to the detriment of the men he
has thus enjoined.
Mr. Speer charges that Henry Chris
ty stole his letters. This is a question
for himself and Mr. Christy to decide.
We think that young man has entire
ly vindicated himself of this charge,
llut, Congressman Emory Speer—who
was elected to office by the votes of
democrats—let us inquire into the
manner that you yourself obtained
possession of the letters that you are
now reading from the stump and pub-
1 billing in your miserable Yankee or
gan at Gainesville? By your own
confession you obtained the original
copies from the government files at
Washington. It is a well known fact
tliat the government is now under a
most partisan republican administra
tion, and that it would be a matter
Impossible for a true democrat to obtain
even copies of the papers on file. But
here Mr. ripeer boasts of having the
original documents. He certainly has
taken a high stand in the ranks of the
dominant party to be aocorded this
privilege! We know certain gentle
men who have made desperate efforts
to obtain f.om the government files
certain papers written by Mr. Speer,
and even after they had applied the
gudden key to the lock they were de
nied this prfvllegp. One of tbesq gen
tlemen, too,bad pioun.te^ aetep high
er than,even ,Air. Speer.. Yet this
young oongreastpan openly acknowl
edges that hq possesses the “Open
8e?ame” by which the secrets of the
government are at his command.
Don’t you well know that if Mr. Speer
was not in conspiracy with the repub
lican administration this privilege
would be denied him? That confes
sion, over his own signature, convicts
him of high treason to the party that
he claims to affiliate with.
Now In all candor let a ask you,
“which Is the greater criminal—the
young man who takes possession of*
book of letters *s reimbursement for
the labor he has done tapon them, or
the hltfh public officer who betrays the
party that put him if) power, and then’
sneaks behind tbs mantle of. the law
to prevent his official acts being made;
known to his betrayed constituency?”
It will not take a fair-minded people
long to decide this question-
But the Banner-Watchman was vin
dicated by Mr. Empty £peer when
that gentleman amended, his bill qf
injunction, acknowledging thatHenry
P. Christy had true copies of bis let
ters, and retracting his charge of falsi-
lying-
Mr. Speer claims to be fighting the
revenue department, and yet every
officer In the district is his supporter?
If you will consider for only an In
stant there is no consistency in this.
Did you ever stop to think that
every revenue officer in the 9th dis
trict, and every white republican, too,
is an ardent supporter of Emory
Speer? How do you like to be caught
in such company?
Mr. Speer Is like a sugar-coated pill
He wants the honest voters of the 9th
district to swallow him without know
ing what nauseating stuff is hidden
within. The contents of that pill are
those Christy letters.
Mr. Speer dares not lift tnat injunc
tion. He well knows that if those let
ters were made public he could not
again show his hydra-political head
among the honest voters, whom he has
deceived with the false cry of Inde
pendence.
How any honest democrat can vote
for a man with his political record
protected by the courts, is more than
we can see. Mr. Speer is the only
candidate that Georgia ever knew to
resort to this contemptible subterfuge
to escape his own record.
When you vote for Emory Speer
with his written record cloaked be
hind that injunction, you tbat day
vote to radicalize your district. This
tee are prepared to prove. Mr. Speer
knows we can fix this charge on him
when he consents to lift his injunction
from this office.
A Washington correspondent in the
Gainesville Filth-Slinger endorses
Emory Speer and the late coalition
movement in Georgia. Tills is per
fectly consistent, for Mr. Speer cannot
deny but that he conspired with the
Georgia republicans to capture his
state for the radicals.
Do you for an instant suppose that
had Mr. Speer been a democrat the
republican administration would
have permitted him to take original
letters from the files of the depart
ment? He is in conspiracy with that
party, and If tbat injunction is re
moved wf can soon prove it.
We bad rather to-day vote for an
honest, outspoken republican than
Emory Speer. If he will only raise
that Injunction there is notan honest
independent democrat in the ninth
congressional district but will agree
with us. That “My Dear Mat” letter
is but a taste of what we have behind.
Dr. Orr to-day exposes another one
of Mr. Speer’s sharp tricks. The young
coalitionist must have come to a sad
pass when he attempts to bolster up
his forlorn hope by publishing gar
bled letters about the Athens post-
office, that were given Pledger long
before a vacancy occurred in tha
office.
Mr. Bpeer, In that letter of defense
In his Gainesville organ, says he has
In his possession original letters, taken
from the flies in the department at
Washington. This declaration shows
that Mr. Speer starts on his campaign
armed and equipped by the radical
party. It is a well-known fact that
no democrat could have gotten posses
sion of those letters. His own words
convict Mr. Emory Speer of being in
conspiracy with the enemies of the
South.
Mr. Speer has at last succeeded in
stopping our publishing his own polit
ical letters to radicals; but he sees
nothing wrong in reading from the
stump and publishing the same class
of literature in his own defense. No
fair-minded man will endorse such
one-sided transaction. And then again,
the gentleman acknowledges that those
documents were furnished him by his
republican conspirators in Washing
ton.

Mr. Emory Speer knows we have
the most damning evidence against
him in our possession, and he appeals
to the law to tie our hands against its
publication. Again we defy him to let
us publish those Christy letters; and
we will further give a solvent bond, in
the sum of $10,000 if necessary, not to
publish a single one unless It has ref
erence to the appointment of some
public officer. You have been wail
ing over the district about their being
private letters. Now either accept our
offer or publicly acknowledge that you
are afraid to have the honest voters of
the 9th district know the pledges you
have made the radical party and your
negro leaders!
We again deny that we have ever in
tended to publish a single one of Mr.
Speer’s private letters. What we want
ed to give the people is his love-sick
missives to republicans and negroes,
by which we can prove beyond the shad
ow of a doubt that Emory Speer has
been in open conspiracy with the ene
mies of his country, to radicalize Geor
gia, and that he not only intends to
fill the ninth district, but other sec
tions of the state, and even the gov
ernment offices in Washington, with
his negro ring-leaders. Mr. Speer
knows that vie can prove this on him, and
that is the reason he dares not (pee his
own letters. Can you vote for a
who, armed with private letters given
him by the radical party, sneaks be
hind the law to prevent his own com
promising letters being made public?

AN HONEST DEMOCRAT-
Below we publish an able letter
from, “J. T. M.,” the gentleman who
about two weeks ago wrote an article
in the Gainesville Southron in defense
of Mr. Speer. He has since been con
vinced of the fact that our congress
man is a two-faced man, deceiving
alike his white and colored support
ers, and like an honorable man and
good citizen sacrifices his personal
preference for the good of his country.
Therearo hundreds, yes, thousands
of Just such honest democrats as
T. M.” now in the ninth district.
While they admire Mr. Speer as an or
ator, they cannot consent to follow
him Into the radical camp. We hav
the real name of “J. T. M." in our
possession, which the editor of Mr.
Speer’s Gainesville organ can get if
he doubts this being an authentic
document. The following is the let
ter:
Editor Banner-Watchman:—On the
27th of August I wrote a letter to the
Gainesville Southron endorsing Hon
Emory Speer’s candidacy for congress,
and made some allusion to the editor
of the Banner-Watchman, because
thought, as a Speer man, the Banner-
Watchman was wagingan unjust war
fare on Speer; but recent develop
ments has proven very conclusively
to my mind the correctness of yonr
charges in the present campaign. I
want the people to understand that
the Banner-Watchman did not change
my choice, but a reconsideration of
Speer’s record has done it. I hate to
give Emory up, but I can’t take an
other seat in his political coach. That
be lias been affiliating with the negro
leaders is too true. When they say
they have notes or dne bills on him
for work done by them in the last
election, and he won’t pay them for
it, but takes special care to provide
for Davis and Pledger, is a negro de
coction that I can’t swallow. Speer
says if he has made an error it is of
the head and not the heart. Since he
refused to lift that injunction we are
inclined to think it an error of taste.
Now with this record before us we
bid him good-bye, and God hasten
the day of his defeat. Now don’t in
sist on publishing those letters, be
cause be will deny his own name be
fore the election. J. T. M.
Athens, Ga., Sep. 21,1882.
CARD FROM DR. ORR.
Editor Banner- Watchman:—I have
before me a communication addressed
tothe citizens of Athens,signed Emory
Speer and published in the Gaines
ville Southron of September 19th. The
false impression sought to be made I
think deserves a passing notice.
The article in question is written
for the purpose of diverting the atten
tion oflhe public from his own tainted
record by an attempt to criminate oth
ers. Together with the recommenda
tions of Pledger for post-master is s
certificate of good standing given by
myself to Pledger before I had heard
of his application forthe office of post
master. The certificate is of the same
character and tenor as that given by
Governor Colquitt, and was given in
this way: Pledger came to me and
said he was going north for some pur
pose and said he thought such a pa
per would be of service to him. I am
not at all ashamed of having given
this certificate to Pledger, for at that
time I would doubtless have given
Mr. Speer one of like character for a
similar purpose if he had applied for
it. The certificate is grouped with
Pledger’s endorsements for thepost-of
flee for the purpose of making it appear
that I had recommended Pledger for
office. This I now deny, and no one
knows this better than Mr. Speer.
To make a false impression with in
tent to deceive, is no less a falsehood
than the making of a false statement.
Mr. Speer, what has become of your
moral train'ng? The fortunes of the
gentleman must be In a desperate
condition, when he is forced to resort
to so miserable a subterfuge.
Very Respectfully,
J. C. Orr.

Our congressional campaign is pro

to Speer in November. Ou the other
band, I can name nearly a hundred jrho
voted for Speer Own who w^ll vote for
Candler now. In.tbe Billups race, Speer
carried this county by over 400 majority.
