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.

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 | brains. Small Grain.—Very little wheat I or oats have been sown iu tlie country I this season—not one-tenth as compar- led with last year.

Nearly twice as much cotton 1 will lie made this yenr as last, iu pro- 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 lup, but the time will only be short be- Ifore we will have things our own way, Iso far as tlie mails are concerned, as we 1 intend to lay the matter before the post- I office department, and see If we can’t 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. THE CHRISTY LETTERS. MR.

TJh^t Injunction.—Mr. Speer ia I tel ling In his speeches that be baa I lifted the injunction from this office, 1 Read tbe official oerliflcutc from Judge I Herrington and you will see that be I lias taken no such step. He dares not I lift ghat injunction mid permit us to Speer!” coming up Broad street, anil 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.

The old man I was from a mountain county, and I says the bqys are solid np there for I Alien Candler. . ? £ \ y y Fighting the Grand Jury.—On I Wednesday last IIqp. James M. Smith and Mr. B. B. Williams, two welf- _It now gentlemen of Oglethorpe coun- S , bad a fight in the convict camp of e former. It seems that there was lno good feeling between the two, and (Mr. Smith objected to Mr. William* ■acting on the grand Jury com- lmittee to Inspect bis camp, ■hot words ensued, which end- led in blows. We hope this mat- (ter will be amicably settled without ■further trouble, As both parties are varm triends of our’s. But “Our Emory! whore wis he?" It seems that some cool-headed friend, who hud liot much confidence in tlie grandeur of this reception, had tele graphed Mr. Speer tlint he bad better postpone his visit until some unexpect ed time, os tlie demonstration which was hatching;ib|£l|t be mlstskon by! |i* enemiea for a second-class funeral. Now while Mi. Speer is in syiupalliy ■ with tlie radicals lie is iio fool; and so he very wisely decided to accept this gentle hint and come up missing. To say the crowd was disappointed but faintly expresses it. Here they bad not only gone to the trouble of wading through, tuna welcome the! ly expended ten cents in oil for a torch light procession—and all for naught. But Mr. Speer sent them an enthu-ing telegram, slating that lie had Youali mountain at his feet, and «ven old Tray and Currahee were suing for pardon, and that he would sweep tlie ninth district like an avalanche. After this disappoint ment the procession again repaired to tlieirclnbraqas, where they continued 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 trict, and pitched between Athens nnd Gainesville. Verse 2. And the people of tli.e ninth were also gathered together nnd pitch ed in the land of flail and set the but tle In array. Verse 3. Aud the Philistines stood upon the mountains and spread them selves over the valleys aud prevailed against the people of the ninth. 1 'i 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 come down to me. , j Verac 6. If, he be able to contend With me then wity wo yield, but if I prevail fgaloqt. bfpt, titan, shall ( ye serve us. ... ; ■ T,'. Verse7. And the’Philistine said, “I defy tlie organized host tills day. Give me a man that we may fight to gether. 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- Vefse 7. Aml as dic talked with; them, behold there oanie up the chain pion, the Philistine, out/of the armiei of the Philistines, and spake’ accord ing to tbe same words and Alien and all the people beard him- .. ' - ' : I j Verne 8. And tbe people called unto Allen and said, Have ye seen th}a mail that is come np? Surely to defy the people is be come bp? and the people cried onto Allen; saying, Thou bust been mighty in war and lnneaee ; lead thou nu unto victory ovpr'tj |Ui«ot 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 fore |he people of Athens, with the; political head of the Philistine in his band. Verse 16. And the |>eople said to him, whose son art thou, thou man of small statue? And Allen answered, I am the sou of thy servant, Daniel, the* Qapk* Cofcqtyite. i 5 t j i i f | j Verse lT. And Allen went VitiUiei- *°*tv|r the people, sent ‘hlni, infill’ hated himself wisely,, and he tras u(> ceptetl iu the sight of,the people, and whithersoever he wqut tlie people gathered In great numbers to do him honor, because be was a mighty man In those days. ’ 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.

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.
