Yesterday, at 11 o’clock, our oflice
was invaded by Messrs. Ham Bearing
and Mem Little, who showed us a cer
tificate of deposit for $500 in tlie Bank of
tlie University, and asked to have it cov
ered by 2 o’clock, or they would with
draw tlie money and consider it a back
down. We explained to the gentlemen
that tlie Candler men had kept $500
awaiting their order in bank for ten
days, wiien it was not covered and with
drawn, and it seemed rather unfair for
them to force us at such short notice.
But they were determined, when we told
them that while the Bauner-Watchmau
had no money to bet, that they would
find themselves accommodated. In less
than two hours the money was in bank,
and the bet covered.
We have good apt' oritv for saying that
fo- several days past the S|n:erites have
been been hard at work raising this
•‘pot,’’ and if reports lie true nearly eve
ry Speer man in this entire section lias an
interest in tlie fund. We had intima
tion yesterday that it was coming, but as
they hung on $45 we doubted their get
ting up the full amount. This makes

CANDLER IN THE FREE STATE.
Mr. Bridge Christy, of the DeolelerlUe Monitor
Speaks Out in Meeting.
We understand that Charlie 8hu-
Imrdt, tlie butcher, of Athens, lias
been busy circulating ihe report
among foreign horn citizens that Coi.
Candler said in his Athens speech he
had rattier have tlie supportof one ne
gro than a dozen Irishmen. And tlie
the strange part ofit is, that sonic of
them credit this barefaced falsehood.
Every man who will think a moment,
is obliged to know that Col. Candler
has too much sense to make use of
any such expression, even if lie felt it.
We heard every word of Col. Candler’s
Athens speech, aud will state positive
ly that lie usetl no language in the
slightest degree reflecting upon for
eigners. We will not tell you what
kind of u man Khuhardt is. About
two years ago or a little more, he went
to “Our Emory’s” office to collect a
long-standing beef account. Speer
saw him coming and slammed tlie
door right in his face and locked it.
Hhuhardt never resented this insult
any more than a kitten, and is now
‘‘licking the rod that smote him,” by
hurrahing for Speer and telliugunmit-
igated falsehoods on brave and honest
gentlemen..
RememlsT, voters, that Speer aud liis
myrmidons cauimt even rhargt anything
against Col. Candle, except that lie was
aelerkin the Bullock legislative. Well,
us he tells us hiuiseif, he was a clerk in
that legislature, bat it was in spite of
Bullock and the republican members o(
that legislature. He rail as a democrat,
and was elected by the unanimous
votes of the democrats and three inde
pendent members of that legislature.
What was there wrong in this? And
when that legislature was re-organlzed
under a military order and a number of
the democratic members turned out. Col.
Candler was turned out with them and
Ills place filled by a radical.
Will Col. (?) P. F. Lawslie please hold

te.-gentleman, supported by his ‘‘Dear
Mat,” steps to the foot-lights and ex
plains to an audience of honest and in-
tclligent ‘‘pe-e pul,” how it is that at
Homer ami at Carnesville lie denounced

acknowledged it as authentic? “Con

Thursday morning, 1u : company a
with T. W. Rucker, E$q., Col.J.'jf,
Baldwin, together with Messrs. Allen
and Nuee Candler, of Galuesville, we
paid a visit to the flourishing little
metropolis of Jefferson. Jackson is
one of the largest, wealthiest and most
intelligent counties in this part of the
state, and is settled by a class of peo
ple alike noted for their hospitality
and selid independence.
It was about 11 o’clock when
reached Jefferson, which towni we
found overflowing with people. It was
a gala day, as it was eourt week, a
circus was in town and Col. Harde
man was to address the citizens. The
speech was in progress when we ar
rived, and we at once repaired to the
court-house, where we found a good
audience. Col. H. made a sound dem
ocratic speech, that wa$ well received.
He dissected the coalitloh movement
and exposed its miserable aim. He
stated that there are but two parties ha

After the speech, together with sev
eral members of the Athens bar, un
der the leadership of a certain hand
some Sunday-school superintendent,
we went to see Orton’s circus, that is
making a tour of the south by dirt
road. The tent was well-filled, and
it was a large one, too. We first in
spected the menagerie, which com
prised a dwarf elephant with a wart
on its snout, a clulled snake, two
toothless old lions, a ’possum, a par
rot uud a monkey. The performance
was as varied us the costumes of tlie
uctors. There was no bleuditig of
colors iu this show, but each perform
er got himself up according to his own
sweet taste. With the exception of
Mr. Orton, wlio is one of the best bare-
back riders we ever saw, and his sweet
little children, whose perform
ance on the trapeze was wonderful,
tlie show was a failure. The horses
looked like some “condemned” old
army steeds, and In the grand entree
one rider greatly marred tlie effect by
having to whip his nag around the
ring witli a section of fence rail. The
ridiug was done altogether on pads,
which is a great deal easier task thau
walking one of those new crossings
iu Athens. “The champion of the
world” made his rounds by either sit
ting a-straddle his Uoseuauti, or went
asieep on the pad holdiug on by the
mane ot his horse. The jumping wus
barely passable, while the exercise on
the cross-bars was simply thrilling. | the late John White, of the Georgia
McComb, Miss., Oct.23d, 1882.
Editor Banner-Watchman:- On the
17th Inst., I listened to a political dis-
eussion between Judge Van Eaton,
democratic nominee for congress, and
Hon. John -R. Lynch, the negro who
was seated in place of Chalmers, In
the last congress. In the course of the
debate Van Eaton arraigned the re
publicans for passing a certain bill in
the interest of the wealthy aud to the
detriment of the poor. Lynch replied
that democrats voted with them. Van
Eaton dared him to name one. Lynch
said Ellis, of Louisiana, and Speer, of
Georgia; “for,” said he, “I did not get
this from hearsay or the records, but
I was with them and saw them do it.”
Mr. Editor, I know nothing of this
canvass only what I read from the or
gans of both parties, but when a col
ored politician of another state open
ly boasts of Ids association with the
representative of my old home and of
the home of nty parents and relatives,
is it a wonder that, I, too, should wish
to see hint exposed ? I know nothing
of the man Lynch’s standing in re
gard to veracity, farther than
the fact that Judge Van Eaton
spoke of him as a gentleman,
only objectionable on account of liis
politics. If the information contain
ed in this will be of any benefit to you
use it. I would have written it in
the form of a letter for publication, in
stead of a private letter, but for the
last five years I have devoted my time
so entirely to business of another kind,
hence my deficiency in composition,
a branch I was never very proficient
in. You will doubtless like to know
who I am. I am a grand nephew of
Among the most difficult feats we will
mention two performers who man
aged to “skin the cat” after several
attempts. They had the ring full of
clowns til the time. In fact, when
the “stars” wasn’t engaged iu their
specialties one would borrow an old
suit of clothes uud play clown on his
own hook. This didn’t work well,
for the audience would often be con
vulsed with tlie same old weather-beat
en joke, as recited by different lips.
Oue man performed the hazardous
feat of tying himself to a slack rope
and swinging nearly up to the top of
the canvas. Then we had a perilous
ride by the “Wild Comanche,” (a
painted Irishman with atnrkey feath
er stuck iu his hat). But the horse
was not well trained and broke his
walk, when the intrepid equestrian
fell off'. The band was a bass drum,
a pair of cracked eymbals and a fiddle,
which gave us a disiiord of sweet
sounds throughout the performance.
Oue performer did some good balanc
ing and another was very proficient
in turning his hat on a stick. We
have seen*poorer tumblers, too, but
they didn’t charge for looking at
them. But we must except Mr. Orton
and his two little boys. Their per
formance alone was worth the price
of admission. Tuken as a whole it is
not a very poor show. While outside
of the proprietor there are no good ac
tors, at the same time they have a va
riety and will probably please most of
people.
We found Jackson county enthused
over the election. Rose Duke intro
duced us to about twenty Speer men,
when his stock on hand ran short and
he started over again. Where we
found one mail for Speer we are sure
that we saw thirty for Candler. And
they are working, too. You heard
politics all day, and the lowest esti
mate we heard made on tlie county
was 400 for tlie one-eyed plow hoy,
while many are confident that it will
go from t>00 to 800 for democracy. If
the other counties will do their duty
Jackson will her’s.

try jte Represented j her beautiful val
leys, magnificent scenery aud liospi-
ile people. Emory Speer replied to
fjtni, and with that peculiar s^iile of
liis said, that the mountain people
were a set of hog-backs and outlaws;
that the hillsides were so steep that
the farmers had to let each other down
with a windlass to gather their corn,
which had been planted with a shot
gun into the rocky stiff. Let them re
member this wheu they go to the bal-
lot-box to vote.
Col. Hardeman’s speech iu Jefferson
was enough to convince every one
that to oppose democracy was to op
pose good government and all the vi
tal interests of the country.
From everywhere comes the good
news-that the people are almost solid
for Candler. If the democracy will
only turn out arid work like Speer’s
friends are working, the victory will
be complete. * * *

GUESSING AT MAJORITIES.
T\tcc*n Herald,
III tlie last issue ol tlie Southron Col.
Law she has given an estimate of tlie
majorities that Speer amt Candler will
receive in the November election in the
several counties composing the ninth
district, showing an aggregate majority
of 5,025 votes for Mr. Speer. We pro
pose to make a guess too, based upon
wliat we hear from the various counties
in tlie district:
To Mr. Speer, we give:
Clarke liy a majority of 150
Fannin 50
Habersham 150
Morgan 300
Pickens 150
Towns 50
Total
To Col. Candler:
Banks 200
Dawson 50
Forsyth 200
Franklin 50
Gilmer 100
Gwinnett 400
Hall 000
J nek soil 300
Lnmpkin 150
Madison 200
Oconee . 250
Rabun 100
White • 200
Total ■; ;■•' 8,250
Candler’s net majority over Sjieer 2,400
And this Is no bulldozing guess, elth
er. Many intelligent an<j well-posted
democrats In this (Habersham) county,
think that Col. Candler will carry the
county, whereas we have allowed Mr,
Speer a majority of 150 votes. Well
informed democrats from Athens say It
is donhtfnt whether or not Speer gets
any majority in Clarke, aud we have#!-
lowed him 150 in this estimate. An in
telligent gentleman from Hall tells us
that Candler’s majority from Forsyth
will be 250 or 300 votes and we have al
lowed him only 200. In Gwinnett the
opinion prevails with many persons
that Candler’s majority will run Irorn
800 to 1200, while we have allowed him
only.400 majority. And ao it is, more or
less, with the other cpnntles in the dis
trict, and we ouly mention these facts
to show that we are not over-oatimating
Col. Candler’s probable majority.

LETTER FROM MADISON.
Madison County, Oct. 25, ’82.
Editor Banner-Watchman:—I no
tice from an article iu the Gainesville
Southron of Oct. 10th, that some gen
tleman writing from Dowdy, in this
county, assures tlie editor of that pa
per that Mr. Hpeer’rs majority over
Col. Candler will be two hundred and
fifty in this county. Now, Mr. editor,
you know that it is perfectly natural
for a fellow, in his native heath, and
in his own “ingun” patch, to feel that
he is boss of the situation. So I pre
sume it was with Mr. Madison on that
Saturday night at his own corn-shuck
ing. Tlie gentlemans assertion re
minds us of the story of a hoy who
went out to see the streets of a town,
and saw a couple of dogs fighting and
went liack to tlie house, and iu his ex
citement told his father that there were
five hundred dogs in the street, and
the old gentleman being very much
startled at liis statement asked him
to “snake” a little, whereupon the boy
stated most positively that there were
fifty dogs, and tlie old gentleman urged
him again to “snake,” just a little
more, and the boy confirmed liis former
statement with the clincher, “I’ll lie
dunged if I didn’t see one dog and Ma
jor Jones’ fighting." So it was with
my friend “Madison;” he thought that
Saturday night, at liis own corn-shuck
ing, because he aud ills son Bill were
for Speer, Madison county would go
solid for him. In my honest and can
did opinion, if Mr. Speer gets 250 ma
jority in Madison county, our friend
“Madison” will furnish the majority,
aud ‘ill over three hundred votes that
Mr. Speer gets in the whole county,
from his own corn-shucking.
I have got a son Bill, hut he isn’t old
enough to vote, and I caq’t vote hut
onee, so we can’t tally aguinstour
friend “Madison” and his own coni'
shucking, und his son Bill, but we can
give you some solid facts. I have had
occasion recently to visit almost every
district in the county, and also vari
ous portions of the adjacent counties,
uud in answer to the various inquiries
I made, I was unable to find a single
man for Speer, who had turned over
to him since the last campaigh; hut
on the other hand I found any number
of good, honest men, who supported
Speer in three successive races, wl.o
now say that they tire convinced be
yond a doubt that he has proven trea
cherous to his constituents, and they
can follow him no longer, but shall
fall iu with tlie democracy on the 7tli
of November aud help save the coun
try upon a platform of honest princi
ples. Scrivener.
‘ LETTER FROM HABERSHAM-
Habersham County, Oct. 25, ‘82,
Editor Benner-Watch man:—I see
in the Southron, or Sltuie-SUnger, an
over-estimate for Speer in old Haber
sham, his banner county. He must
fall a “snake” or two The people in
this county are getting theireyes open
as to Mr. 8peer’s posit.on, politic&ily.
Numbers of men who have formerly
been for “Our Emory,” are now for
Col. Candler, for these reasons: They
question his (Speer’s) democracy;
they dislike his “Dear Mat’s” ap
pointment, and less his explanation
for it; they dislike his bill of injunc
tion against the Banner—Watchman
office; they dislike his coalition prin
ciples; they dislike his tendency to
ward centralization, and many other
things too numerous to mention. “My
Dear Mat’s” appointment by Mr.
Speer seems to have been his shortest
method of purchasing ti e negro vote;
but we hope that the intelligent negro
is hot for sale, as they are as free as
either of the distinguished gentlemen.
Who should be independent, Speer or
the people? A11 uandidutes are de
pendent and the people independent,
Our government is u democratic-re
publican government, henee the
rule should be democratic. The peo
ple should rule—a majority of them
When, according to Mr. Speer’s rule
as many run os choose, a minority is
likely, or most certain to rule. What
has lieen the result where the minori
ty ruled? Let our minds revert to
I860, when the people went in seces
sion, disorganization, war and blood
shed was the terrible result. Let us
be urfited and follow the timely ad
monition ot our departed Washington.
And especially should we obey the
teachings of the sacred scriptures,
kuowing that a house or kingdom di
vided against itself cannot stand. Mr.
Speer reminds us of a certain man’s
religion. When he was with the Bap
tists he was a Baptist, when he was
with the Methodist he was a Metho
dist, and when he was with the Pres-
byteriaiis, he was that, or anything
else that was popular. So with Mr.
Speer. He will oppose democrats, re
publicans, independents or anything
else that hasn’t got a/i<>ap of Speer in
it, and he will be the one that has most
of Speer in it. So I speak from what
I know. Col. Candler’s majority in
Habersham will not be less than 200.
Your well-wisher,
William p. Dillashaw.
THE RING OF THE TRUE METAL.
Editor Banner-Watchman;—Is it nec
essary that history should “repeat it
self” ere some of our people learn that
someeurses invariably produce the same
effects when connected with our human
passions? By lofty appeals to tlie pas
sions of tlie French |ieople. Robispere
aroused an element that could only ia:
appeased by the blood of her best jieople,
and not until her streets ran with
blood did the sober sense of tlie people
enable them to see that tlie sophistry of
unscrupulous leaders had even lead them
to tlie suicidal policy of destroying tlie
greatness of their own beloved country.
More than one American city can fur
nish fresh evidence that it only requires
the leader to produce life results in tills
the‘-greatest country under tlie snn.”
New York, Boston, Philadelphia and -t.
Louis can each testify to blood)’ tesnlts
and great destruction to material inter
ests by this same devil’s agency; while
the bloody riots which have occurred all
over our fait southern land since tlie war
arc enough to educate tlie most ignorant
people up to it* fearful results.
Every people and all classes are alike
interested in the perpetuity of good gov
ernment—in the protection of life, prop
erty and the pursuit of happiness, but
while these are the fundamental princi
ple* of all governments, beware that de
signing leaders lure you to a point where
your senses will awake to find the de
struction of “life, liberty and property.”
Politics in many portions of our fair
southern land have drifted from theii
original moorings into what is called the
independent phrase—into that perfect
freedom of aetion which deluged tlie
streets of Paris with blood. If Indepen-
dentisHi in its present political sense—
“ow ing no fealty to any political party”
—he correct—then communism iscorreet
and right. Blit, say you communism
aims at the destruction of one of the
fundamental principles of all govern
ments. We answer that tlie two great
parties of the country are founded alike
upon the principles of the government
itself and differ only as to matters of
policy, measures for tlie public good and
the rights and powersof the general gov
ernment, and when a leader declares
himself independent, and says that lie
will never lie bound by party fealty,
there can lie no party issues, and if there
la* no party issues, then appeals a:e
made to the parsions of men. Both the
republican ami democratic parties owe
fealty to the principles of their respect
ive parties, and the principles ot their
respective parties cover all the funda
mental principles of the government.
But the independent leader says lie will
“never be bound by party fealty again."
What more does the communist?
Let the property holder beware; let
the farmers of tlie land beware; let tlie
honest patriotic mechanic and working-
man beware; then: is danger enough in
this political doctrine to destroy vour
property and to wreck your liberty ami
happiness. Only by keeping a ceaseless
watch and guard can you preserve the
liberties gained for yon by your fore
fathers. Allow your leaders to appeal
to your reason oiily, when they ask your
suffrages. Remember that the Ameri
can republic has a population more easi
ly deceived than were the people of
France, and that the results are not like
ly to be less destructive.
Another Lie Nailed.
Daniki.svii.lk, Ga., Oct., 24th. ’82.
Editor Banner-Watchman:—My at
tention lias been called to an article
which 1 noticed in your w eekly of the
17th inst., stating that it U rumored that
Col. Allen 1). Candler left Danielsville
without paying his board bill. My first
thought after noticing said article was
to treat Itwith contempt; then thinking
that the idea of Col. Candler ever doing
any such thing was simply too ridicu
lous for any fair, thinking mail to be
lieve. On reflection I was convinced,
first, that justice to Col. Candler; and
secondly, for information to tlie good cit
izens and voters of the Ninth district,
ami justice to myself, I should speak,
with your permission, just enough words
througii your columns to correct that
false report. Col. Candler was invited
to come to Madison county by her good
citizens. He was invited by them to
Danielsville au«l to address them on tlie
political issues of the day. He came
aud spoke to them and they were much
pleased. Our citizens gave a county bar
becue for that special occasion, and then
Col. Candler liad a cordial invitation to
the barbecue. We asked him here to
speak and eat; now just think ofit. Who
ever la-fore heard of an orate, after hav
ing been cordially invited to address a
good ami patriotic people, like tho e of
our good old Madison, and to partake of a
well gotten up and prepared barbecue,
siirtering their orator even to think
about having a kill to pay. Surely no
one from Madison county ever did tell
such a ridiculous and unfairfaced tale, as
Col. Candler went away from Daniels
ville ami never paid his board hill. I
will repeat that every syllable ami word
of the rumor or report that Col. Candler
left my house at Danielsville with his
board bill unpaid is positively false,
from tlie very fact that lie never owed
me an v such bill. Yet he, with an lion-
e'tand patriotic heart—sueh a heart as
he has always had the name of carrying
when he got justice, when lie got ready
to start from Danielsville, from niv
house, still surrounded by many warm
friends and supporters, took out liis
money and not only offered but insisted
on paying his bill; but I refused to ac
cept or receive anything from him. The
above facts I am able to prove by many
good ami reliable persons as is necessa
ry to substantia.e a trutli any where
amonga trutli loving and abiding people.
Yours respectfully,
. Julius A. Green.

ATLANTA HERALD TACTICS.
HOW IT GARBLES DISPATCHES, TO
MISLEAD.
An Infamy to widfih We Do Not Believe
Another Paper in Georgia Would
Stoop.
McDermott's $300 Bet on Jackson
County Is No Good.
FIto Thousand Dollars to Bo Covered by the
Speerltes.
The Atlanta Herald of Thursday con
tained the following dispatch:
Athens, Ga., Oct. 28.—Five hun
dred dollars is ready that Speer will
carry Jackson county by three hun
dred majority over Candler. This is
the county Candler and liis friends
claim by 800 majority for Candler.
T. I). McDermott.
Now this was certainly the wildest
offer we ever heard, for even the
staunchest Speer men lh Jackson
concede the county to Candler by a
good majority. In fact beta are made
that it would go democratic by over
400 majority. So when the Herald,
containing this magnanimous offer,
reached Athens there' was a regular
rush tocover Mr. McDermott’s money.
But like all the wagers published in
the Herald it was found to be a water-
hauL Mr. McDermott said he sent no
such dispatch, and to prove his words
true produced a copy of liis telegram,
which is as follows:
“$500 offered oil Speer. Jackson,
Candler’s 800 majority county (Can
dler’s estimate) will go for Speer 300.”
So it seems that Speer’s Atlanta or
gan did wilfully, maliciously and pie-
meditating!) - garble and distort this
telegram to make it appear that a bet
was offered on Jackson, when in fact
the ouly reference to it wus a mere
guess made by a Speer man,, which
amounts to naught wheu unsupported
by liis money. The $500 bet referred
to in the telegram was the one made
througii Mr. Little,^and that was in
stantly covered by the Candler men.
o it is seen that the bragging dis
patches that appear in the Herald arc
prepared in tlmt oflice for the sole pur
pose of misleading tlie people and
building up a false boom for Speer.
A gentleman stated to a Speer man
a few days ago that lie had $5,000 in
the National Bank of Athens, which
they could cover in sums to suit their
convenience from $500 up.
Now the Candler men are getting
tired of this bragadocio, that means
nothing. Every few days tlie Herald
comes out with a flaming proposition
from some one to bet on Speer, but
wheu the party is hunted up it proves
to be nothing but gas-work. Now let
us say to the Herald that if your boss
or his friends feel like putting up any
money on the election of Speer ali
they have to do is to deposit it in tlie
National Bank of Athens. We are
wearied of wind work. Either put up
or shut off your gas.
Curd From Mr. Thomas.
Athknh, Oct. 28th, 1882.
Mr. Editor:—My attention has been
called to a statement in your issue of
last Sunday which is calculated to in
jure me professionally,-and as I pre
sume you did not intend it, I ask space
to correct it. You say, “In fact he
(Mr. Speer) told his counsel, Mr.
George D. Thomas? of Athens, that lie
did not know what letters of his we
had in our possession.” Tiiis puts me
in the attitude of exposing secrets en
trusted to me as his attorney, a spe
cies of conduct that would be unjusti
fiable. Your informant is mistaken;
I never said such u thing; Mr. Speer
never told me such a tiling; and if he
had professional duty would always
prevent my disclosing any thing Mr.
Speer may have said to me as liis at
torney.
What I said was that the injunction
only prevented tlie publication of true
copies of his letters. There could be
no impropriety in my making this
statement, because I get that not from
my confidential relatiou to him hut
from the public records of tlie county.
Though my intention as a citizen is
to vote for Mr. Candler, Mr. Speer’s
secrets entrusted to me as liis attor
ney will be as sacredly kept within
my breast as liis. Respect’y,
Geokof. D. Thomas.
SPEER’S TACTICS.
THE RADICAL PARTY BACKING HIS
RACE.
The Terrorism He Uses in the Mountains.
Hi* IU-Gotten Power With the Repub
licane.
Using Bln Office to Terrify Men Into Voting for
Him.
We have been permitted to make
tlie following extract from a private
letter written by a wei! known and
reliable old gentleman of Blairsville,
in Union county. It shows the mis
erable ends to which Emory' Speer
will stoop for personal preferment.
Not content with ordering a U. 8. offi
cer to superintend the polls in Ath
ens, he is now engaged in a reign of
terror among the mountaineers, and
is using his power with the republi
can administration to intimidate and
frighten men into his support. Never
was the darkest days of Bullockisiu
freighted with more despotic tyranny
than this man Speer is now trying to
exercDe. But it will avail him naught.
The free people of Georgia have bro
ken the shackcls of radicalism, and
never again will they submit to these
galling chains. Freemen of the Ninth
district, read the following, and then
answer us, can you vote for such a ty
rant? This is a bona fide letter, and
tlie original can be seen in the hands
of Rev. D. Cran Oliver:
* * * Speer’s henchmen are
doing all they can, and I believe there
is a little of the Hubbell fund in tiie
mountains. They are making all sorts
of trades, promising office and threat-
ning those in office. One man that I
know was was arrested for violations
of internal revenue laws, who was a
strong Candler man. When Speer
was here he promised to have his case
settled in tlie United States court, pro
vided he would vote for him. The
man agreed to tlie trade; Speer wrote
a letter from tiiis place to the com
missioner of revenue at Washington,
and iu a few days the man received a
letter from the commissioner stating
that Mr. Bigby had been instructed to
hold up liis case and that it would lie
all right; so you can see what power
Mr. Speer lias with the radical party.
Another man was postmaster at a
little wayside town. He was threat
ened, as he was astrong Candler man;
he utterly refused to do their bidding,
and lie was forthwith removed, and a
straight out radical put in liis place.
So you see what we have to contend
with; it seems like the whole power
of tlie radical government is made to
tiear on our man. But why not, when
Speer is nothing but a stalwart of the
stalwarts? and his friends can no
longer hide it; but 1 do hope and trust
that there may be true democrats
enough to beat him out. You said in
vour letter that you did not knowhow
l stood. I just wish to state that until
you see it publisher! to the world that
I am dead and buried, you may count
me a full blooded organized democrat.
Yours truly, J. J. H.

ocrat, by democrats, being in congress,
to all ostensible purposes, a republican;
that his favoritism with tlie president
was gained by ids constant assistance in
helping the republicans to make a quo

him brought forth the condemnation of
every leading democratic paper in tlie

fellow-congressmen of Georgia, that if
Emory Speer was a democrat they were
not; that iiis liberal “democracy” re
ceived the applause of tlie leading re

News From Morpan.
We had the pleasure of an interview
with one of the staunchest men of
Morgan county on yesterday, and lie
says that tilings in Morgan is stirred
up; that men who never took any
interest in polities are now moving
heaven and earth to elect Candler.
He suid that Wellington district that
always had give Speer a majority, was
now solid aguiust him, and that old
men whose locks were gray, silvered
from' age, were now spending time
and money electioneering for the

Mr- Spaer in liis speech says that lie is
not the president, tlie appointing power,
and therefore is not responsible for tlie
appointment of negroes to office. But
wliat docs he say in liis letter to “My
Dear Mat,” (and remember that he ad
mits this letter in question) when he
supposed no othereyes but “Dear Mat’*’
would ever see it. Here is tlie letter
and we want every voter in the ninth
district to read it:

lion. Madison Davis, Surveyor of Cus
tom*, Atlanta, Ga.
My Dear Mat:—i received your letter
to-day, and reply at mice to say that I
do not think that General Arthur will
interfere with any of my appointments.
The stalwarts are not enemies that I
know of to the independents in tiie
south, but on the contrary may perhaps
give us justice. I have written a letter
to tlie President, expressing my inter
est in yourself and three or four others.
It will be well to keep an eye on Mr.
Pledger. * * * You are in tlie
position to do me great good with the
mountain men and I rely on yon confi
dently do so. Let me hear from you
frequently. As ever, your friend,
Emory Si-kkk.
Does lie say here the president's oyi-
puiatinenD ? No. it is mu ajipointment*!
Democrats, white democrats, can you
doubt any longer that lie is responsible
for the negro appointments in your dis
trict? And will you vote for a man
wlio turns out as good a man as Dr. Orr
and puts a negro in his place? And yon
colored men, you who have the man
hood and the backbone to vote for whom
you see fit, what does this letter prove
to you ? It proves to yon that ?Ir. Speer
is only interested in “My Pear Mat” and
three or four others.
Colored men, can yon vote for a man
who insults you by expecting to buy all
of you by sugaring “Dear Mat?"
Have the courage and manhood to
show by your votes that “Dear Mat”
does not carry all of your votes ill liis
pocket. Tlie truth is, no one can trust
Mr. Speer. If necessary to success, he
is false alike to friend and foe.
He insults white men bv putting ne
groes into oflice, not from love of the ne
gro race, but. for his love for three or
four, whom lie thinks can control tho
entire colored vote.

From Flowery Branch.
Flowery Branch, Oct. 25, 1882.
Mr. Editor:—We had a com shuck
ing on Monday i.iglit last at Mr. J. M.
Little’s, 21 hands, 8 of whom were ne-
8 roes. We polled an election; for
andler, 19; Speer, 3. Rkx.
A friend writes as follows: “I have
Just conversed with a reliable man
from Hall county, and he savs in one
district, (Polksviile) at. the election
for members of the legislature, there
were 80 voters out, and out of the 80
there was ouly oue Speer man, and he
was not certain that he would vote
for him. He also says White oouuty
will go three to one for Candler.”
Officer Mike White, of Atlanta, is

The negroes have always heretofore
felt that they were under more or less
obligation to the republican party for
their freedom. While they have been
staves to tlie bosses of tiie republican
party, it begins to look as if they felt
the debt of obligation was cancelled,
and tlie colored people are about to
take a hand in their own emancipation.
The Globe, a paper published by color
ed men in New York, and tlie organ of
the negro race, has this significant para
graph in a late issue:
“It cannot be denied that tlie republi
can party in this state has been captur
ed by monopoly power, and that ils suc
cess will not lessen but increase tlie bur-
dgiis of tlie people; it cauuot be denied
tiiat the most des;>ei'ate and unscrupu
lous wire-pullers stand at the wheel of
the party’s fortunes, and will continue
to advance interest in opposition to those
of the people if success crowns their
fiddly laid plans; it .cannot be denied
that tlie republican masses are misrep
resented in tiie men who have lieen
pushed to tlie fore-front to luad them to
victory and to administer the public af
fairs.”
Tiiis e.tidently shows that the negroes
are growing restive under the treatment
of being fed on hushaby the republican
party. In the same spirit which this
was written, says the Enquirer, Rev.
McCants Stewart, a distinguished col
ored divine, recently preaehed a ser
mon at his church hi- New York and it ia
tiiis whjch prompts Rev. G. W. Bryant,
one of the best educated colored men in
south, to canvass the third Alabama
district in. tlie interest of democracy.
The eyeaot the negroes are being open
ed to the true condition of politics andi
they are deserting the republican party.-
by the score.
