Col. Candler’s grand reception by the
I young democracy of Atheus has been a
thorn in the sitlc of tlie Speer men ever
I since that auspicious event. They, at of tlie ninth district, :
first tried to tard it kfto ridicule,/hut »»"other pr^pfj MfC
I theie were too' many w itnesset t» Its tlons in this matter
Solid.—Twenty men stopped at
Jliver’s wagou yard Tiiursday night
and every one of them was for the one*
pyed plow boy.
GHanh Jiiiuuh Pollku.—The grand
Ifury of Jackson county sIchhI 23 for Can-
Itller and 1 for Speer. In Franklin coun
ty “Our Kuiory” liad only three sup-
|porters on that body.
A CoxtemptiiiLe Trick.—The otlier
Iday a Candler flag was raised in Jeffer-
I son, but that night some Speer svnipa-
lthizercutit down. Suvh a display of
Ipetty malice will help iio cause.
Death or a Good Mae.—.fudge
I Elba Colliiui, one of Madison county’s
J most noted eitiaeus, died at his borne
I yesterday. We extend our synipa-
Ijthies to the bereaved family.
* —Y ', !
Thiktkkn to One.-—A vote was’
taKeu at the wagou yard of Mr. Ca-
! rither’s, lieyond the river, Wednesday
night, and the vote stood 13 for Cua-
I tiler, 1 for Speer ami 1 on (he fence.
(100 to t5.—T. W. Rucker, Kstp, yes-
I tenlav bet $100 to $5 that Clarke county
j will not give Speer 600 majority; and
Mr. Sjx’cr atlmits that unless he carries
i'larko by at least 600 majority lie is de-
| fciited.
Dr. Hamilton’s Kind.—Dr. Hamil-
I ton, of Athens, lost $25,000 in bonds in
j Baltimore; a poor boy found the bonds
and brought them to Dr. Hamilton.
The Doctor very generously gave the
lad a hundred dollars for returning the
I bonds.
Cheeking Casdleb.—This week
Mr. Speer made a tour up the Air-
Line, and at every station he passed
tlie erowtl set up a cheer for the one-
eyed plow-boy. To say tlie least, this
was demoralizing to “Our Emory's"
great expectations.
Look Oct con Kiting Mosey.—Tlie
I Speer men make an o;ien boast that they
will llootl tlie district witli money next
1 week. Tills is undoubtedly tlie Hnbbcll
f fund, and the price of Mr. Emory Sjs-er’s
betrayal of the denmeTntic party. Onr
people cannot be bought with radical
| money.
Death of Mrs. L. J. Gaktkkll.—
It is with the deepest sorrow that we
record the death of this noble lady,
who breathed her last iu Atlanta on
Thursday morning. Uhe was beloved
by all who knew her. To her bereav
ed husband and stricken family we
tender the deepest sympathy of our
citizens.
A Good Report.—Mr. W. H. Brown
I tells us that he has just returned from
I ail extended trip through Oconee,
1 Jackson anti Gwinnett counties, and
I although lie tackled every man he
1 met on politics lie did not find a sin
gle Speerite. Like angel’s visits they
| are few aud far between.
Those Christy Letters.—Of cour.-«
I no sensible man will for an instant swat
I low S|*eer’s statement that he is reath
I ing tlie genuine Christy lettrrs. He has
1 tliese missives tied np with an iujunc-
I tion, and the papers that he is reading
I are prepared for tlie occasion for men
| whose credulity overbalances their

Small Grain.—Very little wheat

I this season—not one-tenth as compar-
led with last year. Fanners have been
Iso busy witli their cotton that Uiey
lliave nut hud time to atteud to this
■crop. Nearly twice as much cotton

Iportion to area planted, whicli is
|much less tlmp former years.
Still They Come.—Every mail brings
lug some complaint shout our suhscri-
|\>ers not getting their papers. This is
(certainly a new way to try to break ns

Ifore we will have things our own way,

Iliaye some redress.
magnificence for this; and sothey wise
ly did the next best tiling—attempted
to duplicate ft for their own leader. For
the past fveek or ten days we have heard
rumors Boating aronnd that tlie Speer-
iles intended to get up for llieir Emory
a reception, beside which tlie Caetllur
ovation would be but a tallow dip com
pared with the aurora boteali*.- This
threat sorter catlumniuxed the Candler-
ites, who began to wish they had post
poned their torch-light procession until
after tlie Speer jubilee was over, when
perhaps they could borrow their old oat-,
tit and get up something half way re
spectable. Onr procession didn't resell
ic rre than half a tpile, and we had only
four horses hitched to the statesman's
chariot; while the independents had
threatened to trot ont a line of voters
that would resell from Dan to Beraheba,
and that Emory would trotted Into
town reposing In Cleopatra’s* barge,
drawn by all the elephants ever adver
tised to appear in Athens, witli the Im
mortal Jumbo in tbe lead. In fact it
would lie a pageant of oriental grandeur
that would make even the glowing pos
ters of Forepaugli’s show blus' at their
own insignificance.
All Friday runners were on the streets,
tlie highways and the hedges, dramming
up recruits for this Imposing spectacle.
Tin- Spcerites wore upon their faces
broad grin of defiant pride, that went
through a modest Candler man's sys
tem like a dose of paralysis. Even a
stranger in town could see that some
thing unusual was on foot, anti several
confiding countrymen staid over iu town
under the honest conviction that every
circus in the world would concentrate
iu Athens and give a free parade, reach
ing from Morgan to Rabun, every per
former carryiug an electric light as big
as a barn-tloor.
We staid down town unusually late to
see tlie demonstration, as we Ilk to wit
ness a grand display, even if it lie at tlie
ex|>cnse of our own disromfortwe. By
seven o’clock we heard a “’Ruli for
THAT INJUNCTION.
Well, wliat about that injunction?
Common sense must teach that if tlie
Christy letters, so-called, and the publi
cation of which Mr. Speer has appealed
to the courts to enjoin, are not ilaiuag-
-—*■ 1ng to his record as a democrat, then, as
a matter of course, lie could not object
tojbeir publication. On tlie contrary,,
it would seem that he would prefer their
publication—certainly be would prefer
tills to the well-grounded suspicion
which necessarily attaches to his having
suppressed them, through tlie aid of tlie
law. Ilia attorney says that the copies
in the hands of tlie Banner-Watchman
are true, Iona fide copies. Mr. Speer
denies this, and says they are incorrect
and garbled - copies. Well, then, tlie
publication of false copies coulti not cer
tainly injure Mr. Speer,-but, on the con
trary, would help him. At any rate, it
would give some little foundation to ids
cry of “persecution.” No, democrats
you need demand
Speer’s own at-
goes' unquestion
ably to establish the fact “that there is
something rotten in Denmarkthat he
is afraid to let his record come before
tlie demoetaejr of the ninth diatriet; that
he has not only been toying With, but
has soltl out to the radical party, and as
there are not enough republicans In the
ninth district to re-elect him, his only
chance is to deceive and keep in the
dark enough democrats :n secure his re-
elrction. This conclusion is so irresist
ible as that effect follows cause. It is as
plain as was the hand writing on the
wall. It cannot be denied, and those
who refuse to believe it simply deny
what their own leader, Mr. 8peer, him
self says, and would not beli-ve, though
one were to rise from the tleatl and tes
tify that Emory Speer had renounced
his democracy and gone over horse,
foot and dragoon to- tlie radicals, and
now based all of Ids future political hopes
upon that party, and its corrupt and
rainous methods. Democrats of tlie
ninth district, reason with yourselves,
calmly and rationally, about this In
junction matter, and sett it as it unmis
takably stands.

peeping ont from onr place of conceal
ment discovered about twenty darkeys,
of all shades, ages and sizes, marching to
tlie rendezvous, which was a little 3x10
room over I. Morris’ store. 1’retty soou
we saw three white men coming down
Jackson street lane, but they didn’t
seem to enthuse worth a petvtcr nickel.
For tlie next half hour you could see
first h body of darkeys and then a small
stpiad of whites repair to the Speer
headquarters across the street, but all
the enthusiasm seemed to centre In the
man and brother.” In fact from their
prolonged and boisterous yells for
Speer!" we coaid but hug the halluci
nation to onr breast that their enthusi
asm was soltl at ten cents per drink, and
paid for from tlie Hubbell campaign
fund.
At tlie appointed hour the grand dem
onstration began to file forth from the
club room. First came a tin lantern,
tsirnc by a 250 pound white mail, and
by his side marched a young Speerite
who probably could pull tlie scales down
to 05 pounds, after a hearty meal. We
next expected to see ten thousand elec
tric lights Hash forth and screened our
blinkers against the sudden illumina
tion ; but, alas! The little tin lamp u-ss
all tile illumination they could muster
up. Slowly and gloomily the proces
sion filed forth, nntil we counted sev
enty-eight, a majority of wIioiik were
freed in en—In the grand array. Through
a drizzling rain they mournfully march
ed to tlie Nortb-Easteru depot, picking
up occasionally a stray pickaninny ou
tlie road. But what they lacked in im-
pnsing grandeur they made np in tliree-
drinks-for-a-i|Uii.1er eulhusiasm. Ever
ami anon some tipsy Zulu would step*
into a mud paddle, when lie would
bring himself to a perpendicular alti
tude with a “’Kali for Speer!" Ttiecry
would be caught up along the line, un
til tin* seventy-eight throats would peal
fortli the uewly-aequiied enthusiasm.
After many trials aud tribulations the
de|>ot was reached. They had not eveu
tlie Southron’s team to meet the leader,
but a collection bail lieen taken up in
tlie ball aud IWelity-five cents raised to
buy a scat for- “Our Emory” iu Bill
Conley’s hack. They had no musfu;bnt
they made up for this short-coming with
their continuous yells for “Speer!”
At length tlie head-light of tbe train
We want every democrat in the 9th
'district to read tlie following letter.
It’s from as go, d a man as lives iu
Habersham county, anil one who has
heretofore suppotted Mr. Speer with
as much honesty and enthusiasm as
any one who is now supporting him:
Farm Hill, Oet. 2d, 1.382.
J. C. O.r, Secretary—Dear Sir: As
long as Mi. Speer was an independent
democrat lie was not only the choice
of our people, lint tbe embodiment
of independence and his difference
from the majority was approved, and
simply as an independent democrat
he could have represented our people
until his head became gray. But
when he allied himself witli Atkins,
Farrow, Longstreet and Felton, our
mountain people—democrats of the
old school—democrats from prin
ciple, felt that Mr. Speer had de-
Mr. it peer Has Not the Genuine Lettere
in Hi» ‘Possession.
A respectable gentleman from'Frank-
lln county says that Mr. Emory Speer
is reading what he reports a s copies of
the original letters, and that there
is nothing in them. Mr. Speer has
jot copies of tiiese letters in his pos
session, for they were parried off by
Mr. Christy. In fact he told bis coun
sel, Mr. George D. Thomas, of Athens,
that he did not know what letters of
his we had in our possession. He is
to-day shirking behind the law to
evade the publication of his genuine
correspondence with radicals and
negroes, and any letters that
he Is now reading are but
forgeries prepared for this purpose on
the heels of the election. The letters
we hold against Mr. Speer expose a
conspiracy that he has made with the
republican party to radicalize and Af
ricanize Georgia, and he dares not
face them. We have the geuuine let
ters in out-hands, and it is only the
law that prevents our publishing them
to the world. We have a very poor
opinion of the intelligence of any man
who would thus be deceived. Do you
suppose for an instant that a man
would read aloud letters calculated to
injure him? No; lie has his bona fide
letters tied up by the coort, and is
only reading documents hatched up
for the purpose. This Is a coup de etat
by which Mr. Speer expects to cupture
the votes of only idiots.
SPEER'S ADVANCE AGENTS.
If there is any further testimony
needed than we have already given to
prove that Mr. Emory Speer is in full
and active Sympathy witli the repub
lican party, it is found in the fuetthat
a stalwart radical, administration has
given a month's leave of absence to
two of the government employees for
the stile purpose that the might re
turn home and electioneer for Mr,
Speer. Such u courtesy was never
known to be extended to a democrat.
On the other hand, it would beequiv'
aleut to a discharge for a clerk to even
hint at such a request. You may
search every congressional district in
Georgia, aud in none other will you
find U. S. government employees at
home electioneering for a congress-
Always, on the eve of an elec-
parted from those, principles and now
standing where they have ever stood,
they with regret bid him “good bye”
and will in the full confidence of the
principles of democracy and the abil-
ityand sincerity of Allen 1>. Candler
will support him. The beauty of Can
dler’s election—which we deem cer
tain—is that it proves the purity of
our people; their love of pure, uude-
filed democracy, aud will prove that
the office belongs to no man, however
much beloved, admired, hut to the
people, who will see that they are rep
resented. Never did a people with
more sorrow give up a cherished
agent, but that fact only proves the
sincerity of their devotion to princi
ple. Speer’s majority over Bell was
615; Candler will carry the county.
The districts most removed from pa
pers, aud cross roatl politicians, where
Speer got his largest majorities,aro the
very ones which will beat him now.
Reflection at home; at their own fire
sides aud net “speeches” has controll
ed them. The territory north of the
Air-Liue will start Candler, but we
want the whole district; the whole
state to prove a like devotion to dem
ocratic principle, and so with Geor
gia, so with every southern state, and
then you will see a divided north. The
loaves and fishes will tote off anil rup
ture the average republican. Upon
the solidity of the south depends rep
resentative government, aud tlie time
must come when “Stephens Between
tlie States,” Mr. Davis’ work will lie
taught in our schools, or we may bid
a long farewell to all our greatness
and fbllow tlie steps of imperial Rome.

Fighting the Grand Jury.—On
I Wednesday last IIqp. James M. Smith
and Mr. B. B. Williams, two welf-

led in blows. We hope this mat-

But
“Our Emory! whore wis he?"
It seems that some cool-headed friend,
who hud liot much confidence in tlie

Now while Mi. Speer is in syiupalliy

But Mr. Speer sent them an enthu-ing
telegram, slating that lie had Youali

and that he would sweep
tlie ninth district like an
avalanche. After this disappoint

to yell for Speer until a late hoar at
night.

' Mr. Cower, of Greenville, S. C\,
baa just returned from a tour through
Habersham. He says oue Speer man
claims the county by 150 majority and
another by only 50. Mr. C. says from
what be can learn Col. Candler will
carry Habersham.
tion, the republican administration
lias been in tlie habit of grantiug it
leave of absence to clerks that they
might come home aud work for tbe
radical candidate, hut never was a like
courtesy granted a democrat. In fact,
Mr. Mat McWhorter tells us that there
is only one clerk in Washington who
is to-day allowed to openly boast that
he is a democrat, and he is a man of
whom Mr. Stephens made a test case
and carried his point. While we do
not attempt to impeach or doubt the
democracy of the two geutlemen now
drumming for Mr. Speer in this dis
trict, we infer that they are required
to be very circumspect about their, po
litical utterances iu Washington, if
they expect to hold their places. With
them persunaBy we have no war.
They are making an honest living,
aud are naturally grateful to their
benefactor.
But tvhat can we say about a demo
cratic congressman who is proven to
be so closely alligned with the repub
lican party that the administration
permits, government clerks to quit
.their business to come home und work
for him? Does not this one fact prove
to every unbiased mind that Mr. Emo
ry Speer is the candidate of the republi
can leaders at Washington? Does not
it convict him of the charge that we
have made and cau prove by the
Christy letters—that he has entered
into a conspiracy with the enemies of
democracy to radicalize Georgia?
Does it not fix upon him theodiumof
being but a tool in the hands of our
old foes? Can he, with this transpa
rent and open backing by the republi
cans, look a southern audience iu tlie
face and say, “I have not betrayed
you?” Does it not satisfy you that
Col. Candler was correct when he
stated in his letter of acceptance that
tlie independents would be backed by
radical corruption money r Is not
this open espousal of his cause
by the enemy equivalent an en-
dorsment to that charge? Can
you for an instant believe that if
•Mr. Speer was not in conspiracy with
the republicans that they would grant
h i in this u nhuard-of concession ? Did
you ever know a democratic congress'
man to be thus favored? We answer
no; aujl can ueither Mr. Speer nor his
friends polut to a single instance iu
which a true democrat was thus as'
slated I
Then again remember that Mr.
Speer is reading original letters taken
from the files of the government de
partment. A true democratic can not
even get copiet of such a correspond
ence, while this so-called independent
democrat' comes forth urtned and
equipped with original documents
that W is a violation of law to take
from tli'e offices where they are filed
. Was there ever a rank radical more
1 admirably equipped for a campaign
by the political enemies of the south?
Is not this enough to convince any
Ihiukiug,. reasoning man that Mr.
Emory Speer is but the protiee of the
republican party, and that liis pnlitl
cal success is a tiefpey for mdicalirm ?
i We ask you to carefully weigh these
confirmed charges with fairness and
candor, and then tell us If you can
longer espouse tbe cause of a man
tvbo has shirked behind tbe law to
preveut his constituents reading let
ters that convict hint of conspiring
with the enemies to democracy. Bat
thanks to his open audacity are have
uow tbe evidence hi hand to fix this
charge upon Mr. Speer without the
publication of his political correspon
dence with radicals and negroes. The
open espousal of hta cause hy the stal
wart republican administration is
enough to convince any thinking
man that Emory Speer is the adopted
son of tbe radical party, who hope
through him to break down democra
cy in Georgia and again turn our state
over to republican rule. With this evi
dence in hand he may keep his letters
hid. What Judge Erwin has enjoined
President Arthur enveils. The open
aid that Mr. Speer has received from
the radical party shows that we have
made no charge but what is true.
Read this paper and tbeu band it to
your honest independent neighbor,
and unless he is blinded by personal
preference and has closed Lis ears to
reason, lie will not hesitate an Instant
to step from beneath the so-called In
dependent democratic banner and en
list under the only flag that floats be
tween democratic and radical rule In
Georgia.
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO THOMAS-
Chap. 1. Now tbe Philistines gath
ered together their host to battle and
were gathered together at Atheus
which belongeth unto tbe ninth dis

Verse 2. And the people of tli.e ninth

Verse 3. Aud the Philistines stood
upon the mountains and spread them
selves over the valleys aud prevailed

Verse 4. And there went out a cham
pion out of the camp of the Philistines
and he had a helmet of brass, aud tlie
staff of his Spear was like a weaver’s
beam and one bearing a shield or an
[injunction went before him..
Verse 5. And he stood and cried un
to the' pebple of the ninth and said
unto them, Why are ye ot|t to set your
battle In array ? am I not a Philistine?
Choose you a man foj you let him

Chap. II. Verse 1. Now Allen was
the son of avallient soldier, who lead
the Guards forth to battle in times
past, even the Banks County Guards.
Verse 2d. And Allen went out from
Banks down Into a land called Hull,
und there he wrought iu building cit
ies, railroads and other mighty works
did he before the people.
Verse 3d. And it came to pass that
the Philistine drew near in midsum
mer and presented himself for many
days.
Verse 4. Now the people, together
with all their organized host were in
the valleys, cities, towns and inouu-
tuins, contending with the Philistines.
Verse. 5 And Allen rose early in
the morning and came to the trench
to join the host as it was going fortli
to buttle, for tlie organized and Phil
istines had put the battle In array,
army against army.
Verse C. And Allen ran onto tlie
army and came and salubad his'lire! h-

cried onto Allen; saying, Thou bust

Y’ersetJ. And Allen spake unto the
men that stood by him, saying, Who
is tiffs Philistine that he should defy
the host of the organized? And he
answered, Yea, 1 will go out to meet
this giant.
Verse 10. And the Philistine said to
Allen, come to me and 1 will give thy
political flesh unto tlie fowls of tlie
air and to the beasts of the field.
Verse 11. Then Allen said to the
Philistine, thou contest to me with a
Spear and with a shield, or injunction,
but I come to thee in the name of the
people, the organized host, whom
thou host defied.
Verse 12. And it came to pass, when
tbe Philistine aiose and came and
drew nigh to meet Allen, that Allen
hasted and ran toward the army to
meet the Philistine.
Verse 13. And Allen put liis hand
in his bag and took tln-tice some
script, eveu Congressional Records,
and held them lip before the people,
and before the giant of tlie Philistines,
and the giant fell upon his face to the
earth.
Verse 14. So Allen prevailed over
the Philistine with scripts and records,
aud all tlie people shouted for joy, and
ery .many Philistines themselves
came over to tlie organized, when they
beheld and saw that their giant had
lost his political head.
Verse 15. And as Allen returned
from the slaughter of the Philistine,
George took him aud brought him be

THE SPEER T0B0H-UGHT PROCES
SION.
Mr. Speer would have stood a much
better chance for re-election had he
announced himself a stralghtout re
publican. No one can respect a two-
»ped politician, who Is neither “pig
nor puppy.”
The vent time the democratic party
most needed Mr. Sreer’* vote, be waa
taken seriously sick, and had to leave
Washington until the vote was over,
when he got well about as quick as he
was .taken ill.
We have some naughty darkeys in
the Candler ranks, aud on Friday
night, when the grand Speer torch
light procession of 78 ” and a single
lamp was making for the depot to re
ceive “Our Emory,” the beys ranged
themselves nn each,side the street and
shot oqt such inquiries ns the. follow- .
ing when the procession passed:
“Hello, Mister; you lost anything
dut you am huntin’ for It wld dat
light?”
“What you got dat taller candle
loaded with? Don’t pint itdis way.”
“Looking for a Speer voter, is.yer?”
“Ef we’d knowed you was dat hard
up we could have loaned you some of
Candler’s old torches!”
“Is dot Forepaugb’s circus on some
of Mr. Tuck’s hands going down the
street?”
“Dis js de fuss time 1 ever setil a
’iectric light made out of a taller can
dle!” • ' * - -<■ •
“Say, dar, you Hpeerltes, don’t you
want to borrow a match to help out
your torch-light procession?”
“Whose yergwine to bury? V don’t
see no hearse?”
“Gwine to tote Mr. Speer in, I
s’pose, as I don’t see de kerridge?”
“Hadn’t you better carry a magni
fying glass along, so asEm’ry can see
the processhuii you’ve got up for
him?”
“Strike a match, so as we can look
at dat grand torch-light processliuu!’’
“Hello, mister, ain’t de oil most
burned outen your lantern?”
“Why don’t you hang a sign out tell
ing folks dut dis is a torch-light pro
cession? Dey’ll neber know it.”
“Is dat a lightning-bug I see or a
Speer torch-light procession?”
‘T speck kerosene ’ll go up after dis
piece of ’stravagance!” - ..*,•*
“Look out, nigger, or you’ll step in
dat mud-hole! Why don’tdat big man
wid de torch-light procession hold it
up so as de rest can see how to walk?”
“Mind ef you don’t sot tlie cotton
afire at de depot!”
“S’pose we take up a collection and
buy out dat grand torqli-light perecs-
shttfi!”
“Say, Mister Toreh-light Terees.
shun, won’t you hold your light here
while I tie my shoe?” ‘
“Well, dat is de grandest thing l
ever seed outside ob a piece ob fox-
tire!”
“Efyou had told de Candler men
you were dat hard up we’d have
brought you a candle to help out your
’cession!”
Aud thus during its entire line of
march Mr. Speer's demonstrators
were received by the triumphant Can-
dlerite*:. It was a grand viotory for
the Candler side, and we predict that
it will be the last attempt that tlie
Speer supporters will make at a torch
light procession.

CANDLER IN GILMER'
Eli.uaY, Ga., Oct. 17, 1882.
Mr. Editor:—Hon. Allen D. Candler
spake here to-day to about five hundred
of the good citizens in Gilmer county.
His reception on yesterday was very
flattering. Mr. Candler was introduced
by Hon. H. P. Bell, who sAid, among
otlier things, that tlie impression created
by Mr. Speer’s, that he was not in sym
pathy with Col. Candler was not only
false, but one of tlie foulest slanders
that could be uttered against him. He
said that be would not vote for Mr. Speer
for any office, under any circumstances,
and gave his reasons tor liis position.
Col. Candler commenced bis speech
and had spoken about thirty minutes
amid tlie interruption of two drunken
boys—one of whom keeps a bar room in
^own—when Col. Bell arose and said that
a short time since iu the city ol Athens,
three hundred armed negroes attempt
ed to keep Col. Candler from speaking,
und that lie thanked God there were
only two white ineii in Gilmer county
so low down in tlie scale of human deg
radation as to imitate their example.
Tlie young men left anil Col. Candler
held tlie undivided attention of tlie en
tire crowd for one hour ami a half, in
in the delivery of one of the finest jxdlti-
cal speeches tlie writer of this article
ever heard. It was a pertect gem. If
be did not make votes here to-day there
.was notbing in tlie eyes and counte
nances of the assembled multitude. He
proved conclusively that Mr. Speer was
alse to friends, false to party, false to
ate ami false to i ace.
Tlie best posted men in this county say
that Candler will receive a handsome
majority. d.
