MR. SPEER WRITES
MAT|I
“MY
A friend yesterday handed u* a
copy of tlie Atlanta Herald that eon -
tained two articles purporting to lie
written from Athens— one being an
luminous attack upon the editor of
this paper, and the other a puny de-
fense of Mr. tspeer’s “My Dear Mat,”
signed “A Citizenbut any one read
ing the article will see at a glance that
it was penned by either u Speer sym
pathizer or a republican. It seems
that although the Herald has our pa-
]ier upon its exchange list, whenever
mi aiticle appears attacking us nr de
fending Mr. Speer the mailing clerk
invariably omits to send us a copy
that day. This has happened more
than once, aud we cau’t look upon it
as merely accidental.
We will first take up a review of our
editorial, by so-called “Democrat,”
that was headed "More Politics and
Ii«s8 Personalism." The Herald cor-
respondent in reply to us says:
“That the man whom nobody will
deny is the prime cause of all the per
sonalities that have characterized this
campaign in the Ninth district, and
to u very large extent the author of all,
should enter a plea for a return to
purer me'hods ami pretend to lecture
Athens on the mono of conducting a
oampnign Is enough to cause oiien
mouthed wonder ami the inquiry.
“What new villainy is on deck now'.*”
It is a fact beyond dispute that with
Ins entry into tills district the editor
of the lV-W declared his determina
tion tooppose Mr. Sneer to the bitter
end, amt without oilier grounds for
tliis opposition he l-egaii to make per
sonal attacks on our representative,
which lie 1ms kept up unceasingly tin
til lie lias accused him of every crime
that a politician was ever guilty of.
And not stopping here, he lias invad
ed the private life of Mr. 8peor and
his family. And yet this is the man
who lias tlie brazen cHrontery to talk
about less personalism.’’
Was there ever a more iufamous or
unfounded charge made against a
journalist than thvalwve? Tlie wri
ter says wc began to make personal
attacks u|»u our representative, etc.
If “Democrat” intends by this to say j
that we have successfully shown up
* Mr. Speer’s mongrel political record
and endeavored to convince tlie peo
ple that while lie was elected as a
democrat that lie had sold his birth
right to the radical party, then we
will confess that we have made per
sonal attacks upon the honorable gen
tleman. if by "personal attacks” tlie
so-called “Democrat” means to say
t hut we have forced M r. Speer to screen
himself behind a lull of injunction,
mid ask the courts to draw the veil ol'
secrecy between his political record
and the eyes of his betrayed constitu
ency, then we plead guilty to tlie
charge, itut if “Democrat” means to
charge that we have deviated one
iota from the duty of a faithful journ
alist, and attacked aught else lint Mr.
Speer's |Hilitical record as u public
servant, then lie utters a falsehood,
and wc defy him to prove his charge,
the flies of our paper being at his ser
vice. But when Ibis uuonymous wri
ter states that we have iumiUtl thr i>ri-
,,iIs lij'r Iij Mr. Z>i"< r mill hi* fmiiihl,
words are inadequate, to express our
denial of such an infamous aud un
founded slander. We refer to the ven
erable and respected father of Mr.
Kmory Speer to know If the writer lias
ever touched upon bis name except
with the most profound respect. As
to the other members of Mr. Speer’s
private family, if the slightest refer
ence to them lias ever entered our col
umns they were treated witli that pro
found respect we now and have ever
felt for them. If “Democrat” can cite
one word, syllabic or line where we
have Invaded tlie privacy of Mr.
Speer’s family, we will agree to own
ourself all that is vile. He charges an
untruth when he penned that sen
tence, and lie and every reader of our
paper knows it.
We acknowledge that while tlie
present campaign in the ninth dis-
triet is determined an I perhaps bitter,
at tlie same time it lias been fought on
stWrffy 1*1 rly Unit, and never was a cam
paign freer of personal al use and slan
der. We have more than once had
leading citizens to come to us and con
gratulate tills paper upon weeding pol
ities in th’s district from nauseating
personalities and scandal. They siy
that never was a canvass confined so
securely to political grounds and ar
guments as the present race for con
gressman. We refer to the tllesof tlie
Banner-Watchman, and to the history
of every contest wuged in this district
since tlie war, to anbstantiate our as
sertion. ! Tlie only instance
in which the family of
Mr. Kmory Speer was forced into the
discussion was 'by ' that gentle
man himself, when he published a
card in the Augusta Chronicle A Con
stitutionalist trying to torture the re
moval of Ills honored father from
his chair in the state university into
political capital for himself; hut when
it was shown that Dr. rt|>eer’s own
churchman; tlie venerable Bishop
Pierce, endorsed Ilia removal, tills
outrageous scheme fell still-born, and
the name oi Dr. Speer was permitted
to retire to that honorable obscurity
from which alt anthitous son had drag
ged it with the hope that it would add
a few votes to his ejection.
Tlie charges we have made against
Mr. Kmory Speer—and we reiterate
them—are that hehasformcd aeon-.
• spiracy with theirepulrtican party to
radicalise Georgia, and when he re-
mnves that hill of injunction wc will
prove it. We charge that he was ln-
strtimental in forcingItWcolored ring
leaders upon this district, nsourhigh-
cat officers, and: afterwards lieing
ashamed oi ins ovvp . ucts, sought rt-f-
uge behind the law to screen the fas
tening of tlie charge upon him hjr pub
lication of his Correspondence with
Ida republican contpiratnra. Remove
that Hijunotiqn and we will prove it.
We have been very guarded in this
campaign, and made no charge
against Mr. Speer unless we had evi
denced!! our possession to. substantl-

On the other band, the editor of this
paper lias been the ' recipient at the
hands of Mr. Speer and his ’henchmen
ol the vilest slanders anil abuse. The
vocabularies of slang and iilth have
been searched to And Words to carry
on this miserable Warfare. In this
abuse of us even the standard-bearer
of democracy has been alinoet forg< t-
ten. Any one outside of tlie district,
to read Mr. Speer's organs, would
think it an humble journalist
on trial before the bar of nubile suf
frage Instead efthe honorable gentle
man from Hall. While this is annoy
ing, we muatsay at the same time look
upon tills flight of venomous arrows
ut our hesa as highly compli
mentary. forlt Shows that, our expo

Tlie following letter was picked up
on Uie’street and a copy forwarded us
by a friend for publication. It is not
one of the Christy letters, and so our
injunction don’t touch it. This docu
ment was written prior to that time,
and while Mr. Speer was forming bis
conspiracy with the radical party; but
it gives our readers a taste of what is
in store for them if that injunction is
lifted. The origiual of the following
letter is now in Col. Candler’s hands,
having been seuthlm by express, and
he will take great pleasure in exhibit
ing it to the publio. The letter is over
Mr. Speer’s own tiguaiarr, written on a
sheet of government paper, and even
the stamped envelope is in the posses
sion of the “One-Eyed Blow-Boy.”
Mr. Speer cannot say there is any for
gery about this, for it is written over
his own well-knowu signature. “Our
Kmory” seeins to distrust “Mr. Pledg
er,” uud acknowledges taut lie is
working for “My Dear Mat” aud three
or four others, iledun't seem to care
utioul tlie great mass of colored voters
who elected him, but feels an interest
only iu tile leaders. As we before suid
this ts only a taste oi what we have in
store if Mr. Speer will lift that iujune-
liou. But eveu this letter will uut set
very well on tlie stomach of the wool-
hat boys, whom Mr. Speer expects to
keep under control by Ids mulatto
poslmuster. The following is the let
ter. If you waul to see the original,

Mu four Mat .—I received your letter
to-day, and reply at once to say that I
do not think that General Arthur will
interfere witii any of my appoint
ments. The stalwarts are not enemies
that I know of to the independents in
the south, hut ou the contrary may
perhaps give us justice. I have writ
ten a polite letter to the President,
expressing my interest in yourself and
three or four others. It will be well to
keep uu eye on Mr. Pledger. * * *
You are in tlie posiliou to do me great
good with the mouutaiu men aud 1

A POSITIVE FALSEHOOD.
J see ill the last issue of the Uaines-
ville .Southron an editorial wherein
I am charged w itli saving at Madison
court that tlie democracy was deter
mined to defeat Mr. Speer by “foul
means, if necessary.” I made nosuch
assertion, und denouuce tlie state
ment as uii infamous falsehood. This
slander was being circulated on tlie
streets of Athens, when I limited up
tlie party who was sliowiug around a
letter writieu by one Marouey, upon
which it sas based, and denounced
the report as a wilful and malicious
untruth, li the Southron brings forth
any affidavits to show that I did
make that assertion, all I have to say
is, that the parties siguing the sann
simply perjure themselves, and they
know. K. K. JKismkbhbw,

SPEEH'S ATLANTA ORGAN AGAIN.
The reports which reach us, and
which are many, show the futility of
tl|e abusive canvass mode in theuiuili
by the Banner-Watch man and its can
didate, Candler. Tlie ridiculous
speeches and clownish antics of the
latter are disgusting sensible people
who want to lie represented by a man
of education and abilities. Kmory
Speer Is quietly and effectually In
creasing his vote wherever he goes.—
Atlinita Herald.
We lioldly'assert that no such re
ports reach the lierald.for it is a well-
known fact that Mr. Speer is as dead
in tlie ninth district as a spoilt mack
erel. That old charee of our making
an abusive campaign on Mr. Speer is
“too thin.” We have simply exposed
his rotteu political record and let his
private character rest In peace. Ills
official acts the voters have a right to
know, and there Is no abuse or perse
cution in such an-investigation. On
the other hand, we got “Our Emory”
in such a close box that tie had to
sneak behind the coat-tail of Judge
Erwin and eudeavor to screen his
course by yelliug out abuse aud perse
cution. No, gentle reader, all the
abuse came from the other side of the
house—that is, If you call It abuse for
Mr. 8 peer to denounce Col. Candler in
a public speech as a sneaking, cow
ardly lice, uud brand his supportersas
blackguards, thieves, renegades, etc.,
etc., etc. Oil, no; there is no abuse in
that. Mr. -Speer ouly used some of
that chaste and elegant language lie
imbibed from ids Gainesville organ!
Comparing an honorable opponent to
a barking lice and denouncing a young
man whom he still owes for his lalior
as a thief uml renegade is uot abuse.
|n tlie indepoiidetil-r'dieal-coulitiou
vocabulary the only way tiiut you can
abuse a man is to show up his politi
cal record, ami fori e him to seek pro
tection from the courts. Tlie filthy
venom that Mr. Speer’s Yankee organ
each week tjects against every gentle
man who sees Ut toditter witli Us boss
is not abuse. Oil, no; it is lue double-
distilled quilileseeuce of love uud ten
derness ! We never hear of the liltli-
Hlinger abusing a man. It is ouly the
Banner-Watchman, when this paper
fires'red-hot shots of truth into Mr.
Speer's rotten political eareas. Well,
we are goiug to keep up that sort of
abuse until tlie 7th day of November
—und don’t you forget it. We have
plenty of material on hand, outside of
those Christy letters, aud will soon
j begin to shell the woods.
| Tlie Ueiald also contemptuously
speaks of Col. Caudler’s “ridiculous
speeches” and “clownish antics,”
“disgusting sensible people, who want
to be represented by a man of educa
tion aud abilities.” There is noabuse
iu the above. It is simply a neat com-
piiuieut, that Col. Candler will doubt
less highly appreciate. The Herald’s
inference is that simply because tlie
“One-Eyed Plow-Boy” liasu’t the flu-
ish and culture of Ills patrician oppo
nent that he ought to step aside and
let this college-bred youug man take
his place. It is true that Col. Caudler
graduated with as much honor as did
Mr. Speer; but tlteu you see he was a
“clownish” plow-boy, who had to earn
money as a day laborer to get his
schooling,and of course it is an outrage
ou the intelligent people of the district
to put a man out of office who was
born with a silver spoon in his mouth
t'.iat Ins shoes might be filled by a
“clownish" clod-knocker. All will
admit that Allen Candler lius just as
much sense as Mr. Emory Speer, and
that he has never gone hack ou friend
or party, but theu you see the simple
fuct that lie has not those rouudcil sen
tences, polished language aud stately
tread of “Our Emory,” and sprung
from the ranks of tlie formers and
poor people, is enough to everlastingly
lay him on the shelf, liis ubility
counts for nothing unless it is bucked
by a big name, anil tlie fact that be
lost aueye while battling for Ills coun
try at the head of his regiment is made
a topic of ridicule by Mr. Speer and liD
followers.
But wc l*eg leave to differ with the
Herald. Tlie people of the ninth dis-
From the report in tlie Gainesville
Filth-Slinger Emory Speer’s speech

sive and vindictive liMfrangue that
ever eminated iron aipublfo orator.

cowardly "flee, denounced in bitter
terms his opponents, and wound up
by rebashin&the old lLvj?.0J2.urjgput L
Mr. Kiunebrew. But iu speuklugof
cowardly attacks Mr. Speer did not
tell the brave mountaineer* that $e
to-day stands branded by Col. E. P.
Howell, of Atlanta, with being a black
guard aud a liar, which public insult
he dare not offer to resent. Such dir
ty wails as that speech at Hiwassee
shoi-ld lose Mr. Emory Speer the vote
of every decent man in the ninth ' dii
trict. Col. Caudler should now con
gratulate himselt on not meeting this
man on the stump. A better cam
paign document than that harraugue
could not be circulated for Col. Cau
dler. '■ •” < "'li) lu.MI: • HI--II -j

We again ask, what has Mr. Emory
Speer ever done iu cougress to benefit
his constituency, outside of delivering
his Chinese speech ami appointing his
colored pets to high offices—if they
can be classed under that head? We
pause for a reply. Will some of his
supporters pleuse answer tlie conun
drum?
Politically, Emory S|#er is like a
confederate dollar: He “represents
nothing ou God’s green •earth and
naught in the waters below it." He
is but a congressional shuttle-cock,

The Speer side are now accusing the
Caudler men of huylug up the colored
vote In Athens. One thing is sure—
we are not using that ilubbell cam
paign fund, portioned out by tlie radi
cal party to break up a solid south;
neither are tlie Candler side giving
due bills that they have no idea of
redeeming at the time. ' 1 u..i •
We will soon place a document in
tlie hands of tlie people of the ninth
district that will bury Emory Speer
so deep that eveu ids republican
friends in Washington can’t find him.
We would intimate what it is, but un
afraid he might enjoin us 'before it
was circulated, ft is something, too,
that he can’t circumnavigate around.
Tlieonc great advantage and (-lenient

tlie south can never hope to be a powerful

ern capitalists would invest in manufact
uring enterprises, a new era would- at
once dawn upon tlie south, and a jierma-
neiit, deep anil far-reaching prosperity
would Ik- tlie heritage of our people. It
is gratifying to see a southern enterprise
here aud there spring up and flourish, for
every such uiaiml'aetiiriiig institution is
a savings hank.

Eight independents are running for

out by tlie republican administration
