BANNER-WATCHMAN.
TkX't‘ 1 "MV?>kA#« : MAT ,, ‘l.CTTER.'
The nominee is adopting the meth
ods of Henry Christy with aven-
Keanee. In ills speech at Gainesville,
last Saturday, he flourished liefore the
audience what he said was an origi
nal letter, signed Kniorv Speer and
directed to Mat. Davis, telling him he
had been appointed to the Athena
post-ottice, because of Davis’ great in
fluence with the people of the moun
tains. This, says'Mr. Candler, is no
forgery. This explains the post-of-
tlce matter.
Now the ex-clerk of the Bullock leg
islature must be licuoming demented
If he thinks this story, will go down
with the people. If Emory Speer
wrote such a letter to Madison Davis
how does Cundter get the original let
ter? lias Davis given it to Him? No
man who knows the high-toned,hon
orable character of Mat Davis will
lielieve this for one moment. If Mad
ison Davis ever had received such a
lottos, Mr. Candler never could have
got hold of it except by burglary, and
we can't think him capable of that.
This is a very improbable story.
Whatever may be said of Mr. Speer,
he is not a tool. Why should Mat
Davis he appointed to the Athens
post-office, ’'1)608086 of his influence
with the mountain men.” We pre
sume that he is not personally known
to flfty people in the mountains. If
Col. Candler's alleged letter had spok
en of his influence with the colored
people, there would have been an air
of greater probability about it. We
are gettingat the bottom facts about
tliismatter.and before we get through
with it we will make the strutting lit
tle bantam crow more like be had the
“pip” or "cholera” than even lie does
now.—(laiuesrille Filth-Sliuger.
As we expected, the old Yankee-
Doodle, who lius been hired by Mr.
Speer to do his truth-stretching and
dirty work, now denies for his master
the authenticity of a letter that not
only bears “Our Emory’s” own signa
ture, hut is written by his clerk, Mr.
J. It. Christy, upon a sheet of govern
ment paper ami bears the Athens
post-mark. We all remember the his
tory of that Kabun letter—how we
proved it to have been copied by one
of Mr. Speer’s tools and appointees,
who while lie denied being the author
of it, when brought to a test refused to
perjure his soul and swear lie did not
copy it. We fixed that Rabun forgery
upon Mr. Speer’s Clarkesville hench
man, as every reader of our paper
knows.
Then again, our readers will bear in
mind those Christy letters—how Mr.
Speer, in his first affidavit, swore that
lie was not ashamed to face liis genu
ine letters, but that we intended to
chauge and falsify them; but when
Judge Erwin was ubout to dissolve
tlie injunction on the ground that you
could not enjoin a man against pub
lishing a forgery, “Our Emory’’
amends his allidavit and swears that
the Christy letters are genuine docu
ments. He knew Hint he dares not face
a southern audience with the stigma
that they would place upon him, and
lie had to make this degrading eonees-
sion in order to keep his injunction in
force. Tlie published olllcial records
will protv tills.
Again, when Col. Candler thrusts
under Mr. Speer’s nose a letter over
his own well known signature, and
surrounded by other evidence that
proves it to be genuine, his old Yan
kee tool in Gainesville yells out “a
forgery," and this we learn after
long and private consultation with
Mr. Speer over tlie dlieirnia. Pete
Lawshe, Mr. Speer and 'Mr. J. R.
Christy ail know that Utter U not n for-
gerg, ami we want to hear Mr. Emory
Speer deny it. We do not believe that
ho will commit perjury, and
Jbunrthat ltufe Christy would i.ot. So
we think this matter can be settled in
an easy and convincing manner. Col.
Candler will be in Athens next Satur
day with the letter, nnil let a commit
tee of one-lmlf Speer and one-half
Candler men, together with Messrs.
Speer and Christy, take the document
and go before a magistrate and then
and there make an allidavit—the
former swearing Hint he did not sign
it and the latter that lie did not cop;/
it. If these gentlemen will do this we
will believe them and apologize for
our charge. Rufe Christy is an hon
orable, truthful gentleman, and we
have no idea Hint lie will for an in"
stant deny the authenticity of tlie let
ters.
Tlie Filth-Slinger argues that Mr.
Speer would not lie so silly as to think
that his mulatto post-nmster t\ >uld
have any Influence with the “moun
tain men.” Perhaps not while lit was
in Athens, hut It will be remem
bered that the letter was written to
“My Dear Mat” while he was In
charge of the Atlanta custom house,
and us a number of the wool-hat
Ivoys are an ested and carried to the
Capital for trial by Mr. Speer’s reve
nue friends. “My Dear Mat’s” olllcial
position might bo turned to good ac
count. Tiiis is the milk in the cocoa-
nut.
But the insinuation is an insult,that
the “mountain men” will lie sure to
resent at the polls on the 7th day of
November. Some of them were be
gulled by Mr. Speer’s plausible elo
quence into voting forh’m; but when
he attempts to keep them in line
through his mulatto pet you are going
to sec an indignant uprising of tlie
masses.
By referring to the date of tlie letter
we published you will see that it was
written only a few daysnfter President
Arthur had assumed the reigns of of
fice, and before Mr. Speer had com
pleted liis conspiracy with the repub
licans, which the Christy letters will
prove was consummated. This, too,
was long before Dr. Orr’s term of of
fice expired, and while Mr. Speer was
pretending to act in good faith with that
gentleman; bat as will be seen, he
was then conspiring to have Mat Da-
vis appointed postmaster, as is estab
lished by hit own. u-ritten statement. ThiB
letter proves the falsity of Sir. Speer’s
assertion that he championed the
cause of Mat Davis to prevent Pledger
getUng the office, for you see that long
before there was any move on foot
looking to the removal of Dr. Orr be
writes to Mat Davis that he (Speer)
was working in bia (Davis’) interest.
Mr. Speer is certainly In an unen
viable position., In his frantic eflorts
to disguise bis affiliation with the re
publican party be is reduced to the
extremity of making an affidavit and
retracting it, and into making, bis
spokesman and tool at Gainesville
dispute his own letters wnen he is
brought faoe to face with them. In
conclusion let us wait and see if Mr.
Speer and hia private secretary will
make the affidavits we propose; or
will the former gentleman emulate
the example of his poor old postmas
ter at Clarkesville and run into bis
hale when the < ible and a justice of
thepeaceconfronthim,) j,

THE CLARKE C0U3IY REPUBLICANS-
Bo* a Fow oflkam Ibi ud Mopud Xr. SpMi
* -br-lr-t -
Editor Banner-Watchman;—Know
ing that your readers would feel, inter
ested in the republican convention con
vened last Saturday in Athens, I'will
give yon a synopsis of what was said
and done. This body was advertised
and called as a meeting of tlie republi
can party ; but it had scarcely been or
ganized when its true mission ciopped
out—tiint it was a Speer ratiflention
meeting. Tlie first tiling done was to
dismiss from Hie body Miles Johnson, ~
member of the republican executive
committee, simply for tlie reason that
lie refused to acce’pt Mr. Speer as Hie
nominee of the party. After this a num
ber of men addressed the bodv, tlie line
of all thtir remarks being that Congress
man Speer wns the friend of tlie colored
rare and was as good a republican as
they wanted; that he Jutted tlie demo
crats, and would prove a lever by which
they could break up that party in Geor
gia and again turn the state over to tlie
radicals; that he was the friend of the
Administration, and it was the wish of
the party leaders north Hist the republi
cans here support him as a man. The
speeches were very abusive of those
men of their race who refused to vote
for Mr. Speer, and one fellow boldly
stated that a colored republican who
would vote for Candler iu preference to
Speer would sell the virtue of his wife
for flfty cents. All who refused to sup
port Mr. Speer were denounced as “dem
ocrats,” “renegades,’’ “thieves,”
“scoundrels,” etc., etc. They tried to
inflame the minds of the colored men
against Col. Candler by atating that the
very men who are now supporting him
were tlie same ones that sent otf and got
repeating guns to murder tlie blacks
during the excitement over the Roun
tree killing. The democrats were de-
scribud as bitter enemies, who thirsted
for the blood of tlie negro; while Mr.
Speer was their savior, who wus acting
with tlreir party by giving colored men
ollicc. and would see that tlie darkeys
had their share of ail that was going.
•Speech ufter speeon followed, all on this
line, and each, if possible, more abusive
than the former. It was urged that Mr.
Speer was the standard-bearer of the
republican party in this caui|>aign, ami
tlie colored man who did not support
him went hack on hia party and his race.
We have heard this same cry for the past
seventeen years, and would ask what
this banding witii the northern republi
cans against tlie white democrats of the
south lias done for us? lias it lessened
our cares ? Has it put any money in our
pockets? Has it cultivated any better
feeling between tlie two races, that must
live together? lias it opened any more

that when one party gets in i*iwor the

Hail tlie colored people of Georgia began
ten years ago to vote and act witii the
whites you would to-day see ten negroes
in office, and ten colored names in tlie
jury liex, where you llnd one. Tlie
whites own all tile property and will
control tlie country in spite of all that
we can do; and it is not natural Hint
they will assist us as long as we contin
ue to fight them. I am opposed to mr
race longerdrawing tlie color line, which
tin y themselves do by opposing their
wiuie friends as n body. Let us cut
loose' from both parties and eacii man
vote for the candidate that he thinks
will make tlie best officer. We must
look more to merit and less to party,
have been affiliating witii tlie rcpulili
cans since tlie war, but to-day declare
myself for the first time a free man
ami intend from now on to support
any man 1 see fit, without
advice or dictation from the bosses, who
reap all the offices ami spoils, ami leave
us humble voters to be content with
empty promises. 1 have watched our
leaders fatten on the stile of the votes of
tlie ignorant negro long enough. A
number of us intend to resist this system
of slavery und declare ourselves politi
cally free. In tlie coming congressional
contest in this district 1 shall vote for
Col. Allen I). Candler. I have convers
ed with many of his old hands, and they
all tell me lie is an honest, fair gentle
man, who is a true friend to tlie laborer.
.1 feel no doubt but that he will do my
race justice. So far as I kuow, Mr.
Speer Is a gentleman, and perhaps a good
republican, as his colored supporters
claim for hint; but one thing I charge
gainst him—in his great ca re about Ills
leaders he lias entirely overlooked tlie
humble voters. Asa body, we have re
reived no recogniUon or kindness at his
hands. He seems to think that if he
could keep his leaders satisfied that they
could hold us in check for him. I for
one to-day declare my freedom to vote
for whom I please;and I shall certainly
please to vote for a nun whose bands
lias never whitened by a dollar from
slave labor; but who obeying tlie script
ures, earned his bread by the sweat of
his own brow. 1 sign myself
