BANNER-WATCHMAN
THE CASE OF MR. SPEISFl'S
DEAR MAT."
The Filth-Sllngcr calls rs the Bang
er-Wash tub. Yes; we have washed
Mr. Speer’s dirty riulical linen pretty
thoroughly.
In the Atlanta Herald of the 23d ap
pears a communication signed “A
Citizen,” in which the writer attempts
to defend Mnt Davis liy abusing and
mnlignlng the white democrats of
Athens, and denouncing os “a band
Of loallng negroes, who never do a
day’s work," those colored men who
have seen tit to exercise their privilege
as freemen and cut loose from the
apron strings of Mr. Speer's negro
leaders
of the communication
Citizen" says, "I differ with him
(Mat Davis) politically.” Now any
one to carefully read that article will
see at a glance that the writer and Mr.
Speer's postmaster are cheek by jowl
In the same political cauldron. This
anonymous writer ulso slanders the
democrats of Athens by saying, “They
had already concocted a plan with a
drunken justice of the peace not to
grant Davis a bond”—referring to
;j]on. Thomas Crytnes, a leading
Oreenbacker of this district, who had
- issued the warrant for Davis’ arrest.
Rut the writer contradicts his slander
Upon tnc anti-Speer men in the next
sentence when lie goes on to enumer
ate "My Dear Mat’s” bondsmen, as
one of them are known to be a bitter
opponent to independence, and is a
staunch Candler man.
We heard the testimony in this case,
and there is not a shadow of doubt on
our mind but Madison Davis armed
himself with the intention of attack
ing ltandall Brown, and the testimo
ny of the accused’s own witnesses and
the stat< luent of Davis himself, is
enough to convict him of the outrage
ous assault. We admit that Madison
Davis has heretofore borne an excel
lent character for an orderly, law-
abiding man. Rut tills sudden
change from a good citi
zen to a probable murderer only
proves the zeal with which lie es
pouses the cause of his bosom friend
and employer, Mr. Kmory Speer.
ltut let us give a review of the evi
dence in this case, taking only the
testimony of Davis’ witnesses and the
statement of the prisoner. It seems
that Randall Brown bad been inform
ed that at a political meeting held the
night before the assault Mnt Davis
had publicly denounced him in the
most unmeasured terms, which natu
rally enr.-yed the former und lie was
heard frequently on the street tocurse
and abuse Davis. The defendant ad
mits that the language of Brown catne
to his ears. The night of the difficulty
Brown was on his way home, and had
stopped for an instant at the Town
* llall to talk witli some of his friends
he saw there. Afterwards Davis came
up. when the two men got into a dis
pute about the language Davis was
reported to have used about Brown.
The latter called the former a yellow
son of a canine, when they hitched.
After scuttling for a minute Brown
cried out, “I am unarmed and want to
have a fair light, but he is cutting
me!" They were then separated by
the bystanders, when Brown was
found to have a fearful wound between
tlie seventh and eighth rib, which
will probably result fatally. The at
tending physicians testified that it was.
cither indicted by tiie long, keen blade
of a pocket knife, or a dagger: while
Randall|Browu states that Mat Davis
drew a dirk from his girdle and disem
boweled him. Kvery witness swears
that Brown had no weapon at all, and
Insisted on a fair fight.
But in tlie face of this testimony of
tlie physicians lluvtalnrge, keen knife
or dagger could only have indicted a
wound of this nature, in his statement
Mat Davis says llml lie was cleaning
his dnger-nnilh witli asinall peii-knift,

ter long r.nd the end broken olf at
that. During the scuffle lie says
Brown cut himself by forcing bis body
against the weunon, that he hud for

didn't know tliut Randall was cut
until after they were separated. But
strange to say, Davis could not pro'
We would ask Mr. Pete Lawslie, in
all candor, whether he will support
the presidential nominee of the demo
cratic or republican party at the next
election? As he has been urging the
claims of Bullock for governor, we
will doubtless be excused for propound
ing this conundrum.
Now isu’t that lovely consistency!
Mr. Speer sneaking behind the law to
. , , , keep his own political letters from the
And he most amusing part b „ and then Muh , ln hu
m,unication,.too, is where“A Ualne8V „ le organ a prlvate letter that
Col. Candler wrote in confidence to
K. M. Hamilton, Esq! Let Mr. Speer
first permit his own infamous radical
letters to be published, aud then he
can with more candor give the pri
vate letters of his opponent. The
people feel a supreme contempt for
such a one-sided transaction.
Judge Folger, better known as Sen
ator Folger, a member of Arthur’s cab
inet, carried ofl the republican nomi
nation for governor of New York like
ajitly. This is a victory for President
Arthur, (irunt, Blaine, Conkllng and
their friends, over which they have a
right to be jubilant.—GaiivtvUle Filth-
Slinyrr.
Yes, and the Filth-Slingcr lias
right to lie jubilant, too, for what is a
victory for the stalwart radical party
is a victory for his coalition boss. But
don’t the above paragraph show tlie
r-publican ears of the old Yankee-
Doodle? He was never known to re
joice over a democratic victory. And
yet tills interloper assays to dictate
politics to southern democrats! Isn’t
this the quintescence of cheek?
Tlie Banner-Watchman boasts that
they have one huudred hew subscrib
ers at Lawrenceville. We are prepar
ed to bet their new list does not cover
thirty names; that one-third the num
ber are Speer men, and that not one-
fourth of them are taken from the
post-offlee.—Gainrtrillf Filtli-Sliuger.
We will accept your bet, and are
ready to put up any sum of money you
want to wager. Now either come up
with the “skads” or publicly ac
knowledge that you are afraid to back
your own words. Mr. Fllth-Slinger
Either put up or shut up, as we have
made all your other campaign brag
garts do. We will either exhibit our
books or leave tlie matter to tlie post
master at Lawrenceville. What say
you to slaking $100 on the question?
Now don’t try and crawfish out.
Tlie Gainesville Filtb-Sliuger now

Let the toys In grey bear this insult iu

That Injunction lias la-eii success

Tills is the testimony of Davis and
his own witnesses. Tlie other side
makes Davis out as tlie assailant, wiio
struck tlie first blow, und then delib
erately plunged his dagger into au
unarmed man who was pleading fora
fair tight. Every one testified that
Brown had no weapons save those

fact, beyond the shadow of a doubt,
that be bail heard of Kaiuiuil Brown’s
curses that day; lie armed himself
with tin-expectation of a difficulty;
ami when be found his enemy at the
town hull, lie enticed him into a diffi
culty with tlie intention of drawing

After our first report of tlie difficul
ty we intended to say nothing more,
as we did not wish to prejudice the

-denouncing and slandering tlie de
mocracy of Athens, and torturing Into
cupital for Sir. Speer a bloody assault
upon a worthy colored man, we would
'have dropped this subject until the
case was decided by a jury of citizens.
You may carefully read the testimo
ny in tills case, and in its lost analy
sis you will find that Mr. Speer’s sup
porters are inaugurating a system of
ostracism and terrorism among the
colored men of tlie ninth district, to
force them to vote as a body for the
so-called independent leaders, aud
tliut Rundull Rrowu is the first vic
tim to this hellish scheme, and tiiat
he fell by tlie bund of tlie colored man
upon whom Mr. Speer has showered
Ills greatest tuvors. The colored
voters are denounced us renegades and
traitors to the republican party when
they refuse to sujiport Speer, and the
same infamous means are now used
to drive them into the truces, as char
acterized tlie early reign of radicalism
111 Georgia. Persuasion having failed,
the few to lie beuefttted by Mr. Speer’s
political success now resort to tlie dag
ger for au argument. This is the true
history of “Tlie Cutting Affray in
Athens,"slid we referyou to the sworn
evidence in the court-house of Clarke
bounty to substantiate what we say.
Candler’s love for the mechanic and
Inhorer means to work them fourteen
hours a day ; the former for $1.50 and
tlie latter for 80 els. or $1.00, while in
Atlanta tlie mechanic gets $2.50 and
the laborer $1.50for working ten hours,
llow do you like such love, gentle
men ?—Gninreritlr Filth-Slinger.
We will reply that Col. Candler
paying his hands 25 per cent, more
than other men, outside of a large city*
which Filth-Siinger’s own figures
show. And he don’t set
tie ofl in due bills, either, that are
never redeemed. Can the old Yankee-

docs not show that au independent
A dollar. His charge was that Mr.
Speer got it, or this was what he In
tended to convey. The report of that
eoniniiitee was made before Mr. Speer
entered congress, and yet Candler lias
tky cheek and insincerity to produce
it as applying to Mr. Speer.—Gainn-
rilU Fvth-Slinger.
To clinch this charge made by Col.
Candler we publish the following offi
cial Washington dispatch, which sub
stantiates every word that he has ut
tered. Besides, we refer to the two
carjoad of wood-pulp paper donated
Mr. Bpeer from Washington, and upon
litlilch the Fllth-Slinger is now being
pf-lpted. This is the dispatch:
- Washington, September 26.—The
Georgia republican state committee is
the last organization to follow in the
wake of Jay UubBeU with aAenjand
much surprised and chagrined to re
ceive this supplemental demand and
from such a quarter.
We simply ask Col. Candler and his
crowd, where these gentlemen who
did not have a cent two weeks ago,
got their money to canvass for Can
dler with? Also, whether his Glade
and Jackson county cauvussers make
regular reports Y—GaineicilU Filth-
Slingtr.
We simply reply that It was not fur
nished them from the Hubbell cam
paign fund, to break up the democrat
ic party and turn Georgia over to the
tender, thieving mercies of radical
ism. Can Mr. Speer say as much
about the funds tiiat he will use to car
ry tills district? How about that first
installment of wood-pulp paper from
Washington, upon which the Filth-
Slinger is now beiug printed? We
pause for a reply.
While we have no objection, per
sonally, to negroes lioldiug a reasona
ble oroportlon of the public offices
which they are competent to fill, there
lias been so much said about Hon.
Emory Speer iiaving been partial to
tlie colored man over the white for
office in his dlstriut, we have taken
ilie trouble to hunt up the record upon
tlie question of colored office-bolding
in Georgia. Here it is, and we defy
any old moss back ringster to refute
the figures: Sixty-one colored men in
Georgia holding federa: appointments
and under bonds. Two of these, Mad
ison Davis and J. T. Heard, live in
the 0th district. The others live in
the other organized districts of the
state, represented by tlie immaculate
simon pure organizers.—Gninetritte
EiUh-Nlinyer.
It Is true that there are only two
uegro office-holders in the 9th district,
but they hold the most lucrative and
honorable positions in the gift ot Mr.
Speer. But the Fllth-Slinger forgets
to mention Pledger, Fleming, “Mrs.
Tolbert” and a large number ot-his
other colored ring-leaders to whom he
has promised office. We dan you,
Mr. Speer, to lift that Injunction, and
we will establish beyond a doubt that
you have been working to get your
colored leaders offices not only In the
ninth, bnt other districts. While he
has paid the humble voter with unre
deemed due-bills, Mr. Speer has been
laboring to put his mulatto ring-lead
ers In the highest offices in Georgia.
This we charge, and if you will only
lift that injunction «* will prove it.
The Atlanta Herald says, “Allen D
Candler spoke to a small audience at
Jefferson, Saturday.” The same pa
per reported Speer as addressing one
of the largest crowds ever seen in that
town. This proves the miserable ends
to whlAi Mr. Speer’s organs will stoop
to bolster up the dead march of their
candidate. Every person in Jackson
county knows the Herald’s assertion
Is too redlculonsly false to need contra
diction.
