{Cnfillti'iol from f'irtf I’age.)
was written tty me without any hu
man intervention. I went to Atlan
ta a few days after with my family
to visit relatives. I was stopping at
the Markham House temporarily
and sonto gentlemen came to visit me
and we had quite a crowd in our
rooms, democrats and radicals both.
That platform became a topic of con
versation. It was discussed between
us. The republicans asserted then and
there, every man acting individually
and without any commission from
his party —and Longstreet was there,
liigby was there, bearing credentials
from no party, Miller was there and
James S. Hook was there, bearing
credentials from no party and res
ponsible to no man for their views,
and it was tlie unanimous express
ions of their opinion that I should
become a candidate for govenor on
that platform, and that every man
io the slate not manacled by the
chains of a party caucus would sup
port me upon that fair and honora
ble enunciation of truths. I declin
ed. These republicans speaking tor
themselves said
“We believe the fair and just min
ded republicans of Georgia will vote
tor you or any other democrat on
that platform of principles.” The
democrats said the same thing*
They begged me to become a candi**
date for governor on llmt platform.
I declined. I had no desire fer
strife, for war. I thought, there art
others as independent in thought as
I am, who are willing to become
standard bearers of those principles
of truth, justice and righteousness.
As soon as we retired every little
paper, bound and shackled to the
party, announced that the Markham
House caucus had funned and coalition
to Africanize Georgia. Every mis
erable hireling of those convict lessees
who were coining money out of tin
labor of tj;e criminals of the state,
had il tiiat Felton and the Markham
House caucus were trying to turn
over the state to the republican party
and destroy southern civilization.
My God, preserve this country from
such miserable partisanship. If you
do not rise in your power and sup
press the rings and cliques that are
ruling the state, the day w ill come
when your children will he the vilest
serfs on earth. [A voice: That is
true.]
Right here comes in another point.
Just about this time comes in the
music of tho day. I am going to
give you the history. lam going to
unfold to you a story that you have
never heard. Just about the Mark
ham House time, in fact it commenc
ed a few days before, I was down in
Atlanta, in November, I believe,
and this groat bugaboo called the
Markham House coalition meeting
was in December, I was down visit
iug the exposition in trio month of
November. I staid at a relative’s
house that night and after supper,
Doctor Millar, a democrat, and Mr.
Madison Bell, a republican, who has
for many years been a warm personal
friend of mitre, came to soe mo and
my family ns visitors. They came
together in tlie same buggy. Both
called as personal friends to pr y their
respects to me and my wife stopping
at a relative’s house. After talking
a while the question came up, will
there be an independent candidate
for governor next year? meaning
this year. That opened tho way and
tho political talk commenced.
THU FIRST CALL FOR ST EFI IF NS.
It was agreed then and there that
an independent ought to run—that
was tho opinion of that caucus, and 1
do not know that it amounted even
to the dignity of an advisory caucus.
The question came up and it was
agreed that an independent ought to
run. Then came suggestions from
both as to whether Mr. Stephens
would run on that line. That was
the first suggestion ot him as a can
didate that 1 know of, though 1 had
thought of it myself before. They
proposed that I should write to Mr.
Stephens and ascertain his views
upon the subject. By and by anoth
er gentleman was proposed. It was
suggested that Mr. John Stephens, a
nephew of Mr. Alex. H. Stephens,
be made an independent candidate
for governor of Georgia this year,
and I was requested, in my corres
pondence with him from my home,
to ascertain if the candidacy of Mr.
John Stephens would be acceptable
to him. I did ascertain it, and I as
certained tho fact that it would not
be advisable to do so. That was one
fact. That was in November, and
immediately the independents all
over Georgia commenced asking by
lettor and in person in the city of
Washington if Mr. Stephens wouid
become the candidate of the people?
Not independent, but the candidate
of the people, irrespective of conven
tions and cliques and rings, for gov
ernor of Georgia? After correspond-
enco with people from till parts of
the state ami personal appeals, Mr.
Stephens announced in letters and in
the public press that it was his inten
tion to retire from public life—that
his health demanded rest. Very well.
Sometime early in the spring there
was a meeting of independent demo
crats at the Markham house. Not a
single republican was there, and I
must say, the meeting was rather
pre-arranged. It was not altogether
accidental! Felton was there. I will
read you some of the names of those
who were there. Cox was there, and
Lawshe ami Thomas M. Berrien and
Win. 11. Hulsey, and J. S. Hook, as
a committee. Dr. H. V. M. Miller
was chairman of that committee, and
I suppose there wt-ie a dozen others!
from different parts of Georgia, ev-
ed one of them democrats. There
was not a republican in that room
that day. They were all true demo
crats. Mr. Stephens, it was now
thought, was retired, permanently
retired. It was thought best in * that
meeting to issue an address to the
people of Georgia on which all fair
and just men could stand. It is there
(pointing to a scrap book). It issim
ply the embodiment of what I had
published over my own signature
months before. We recommended it
because we were there as individuals
without any commissions from any
body. We recommended that a con
vention of independents bo held in
the city of Atlanta on the first of
June* to devise ways and means for
concert of action by the independents
of Georgia. There is that address.
STEPHENS IN TIIE FIELD.
Just about that time Mr. Stephens,
under the soft persuasions of the
gor.tl people of Georgia, has reconsid
ered his determination to retire
from public life. We called a meet
ing for the first day of June, but just
previous to that Mr. Stephens had
reconsideredTfis determination to re
tire, and used these words in an in
terview witli a representative of the
Atlanta Constitution : “I have been
assured by men on whose judgment
1 can rely, that there is a general
wish among the people of Georgia
that I should be a candidate for gov
ernor. No public man has a right to
refuse the command of his people if
it lies in his power to serve them. In
my present state of health there is no
reason why I should not.”
Very well. This meeting of inde
pendents had been called. A few
days after we saw the declaration
from Mr. Stephens which indicated
tHat he was a candidate for governor.
The Atlanta Constitution announced
in one of its editorials that Mr Ste
phens was in the field for governor.
We then had another meeting, an
informal but voluntary meeting with
Dr. Miller as chairman. There was
not a republican present. Every
man of us were dgmocrats, each of us
acting upon his own responsibility
and by his own authority. We re
solved that we would convert that
mass meeting into
A STEPHENS RATIFICATION MEETING
Now give me your attention, for I
am giving you a history you never
read in the newspapers. Wo resol
ved to do that and they 7 Instructed
me to coino homo and write to the
Hon. A. It. Wright, of Itome, re
questing him to bo president of that
ratification meeting on the first of
June. I came home and wrote to
him and told him what we proposed
to do, and when he took his seat to
make us a ringing speech for lion.
Alexander H. Stephens. I have
Judge Wright’s letter accepting and
telling me he was heart and soul for
the movement.
About the 15th of May a wonderful
small-pox excitement sprung up in
Atlanta. The board of health had is
sued an order that public meetings
should not be held in Atlanta. The
Presbyterian general assembly pro
posed not to hold its contemplated
meeting there, and the board of
health sanctioned it. About that
time we had another meeting, and
it was resolved to postpone that meet
ing of tho first of June. Nobody 7
would have gone there from the
country—l would not have gone and
you would uot have gone, Wo pro
posed to issue an
ADDRESS TO THE INDEPENDENTS
of Georgia, recommending Mr. Ste
phens as a suitable man to be voted
for at the next election lor governor
of Georgia. We spoke of him as an
illustrious statesman, and he is now
the most illustrious statesman now
living in these southern states. He
is conspicuous for his honesty and
integrity. His character stands out
in bold relief from the crowd that
have fattened on public plunder. No
man can trace a dishonest dollar to
the pockets of Alexander 11. Ste
phens. He stands out conspicuously
from the corrupt surroundings that
are all about him. He proves in his
own person that a man may be hon-*
est, incorruptible and patriotic, when
dishonesty and fraud are all about
him. We recommended him in such
term as “the candidate of the peo
ple !”
That was on Monday. On Friday
before I sat down in my house and
wrote -to Mr. Stephens—told him
what we were going to do, told him
we were going to meet tho next
Monday, at 10 o’clock, at the Mark
ham House in the city of Atlanta,
and that we proposed to recommend
him as a candidate of the people for
the office of governor.
THE SPEER TELEGRAMS.
I wrote him: “Because if our ac
tion was acceptable to him, I wanted
to know it?” I wanted to know
further and I put the direct question
to him: “Will you be a candidate
for governor, whether the organized
nominate you or not?” That was
the question I put to him on Friday
before we had the meeting on Mon
day. “Now,” said I, “Mr. Stephens,
you will get this letter Sunday morn
ing, the 14th of May. I want you to
telegraph me yes or no to Carters
ville; add if you have not time to do
so, telegraph me Monday morning
yes or no at the Markham House in
the city of Atlanta.”
Ho received my letter.on Sunday
morning, as he mentions in a letter
vthich I have herein my hand, and
says that he did not answer me be
cause he was sick in bed and unable
to do so. But, what are the faets as
they appear to me? I came down
here Monday morning to take the
train to Atlanta and for the Mark
ham House, and when I reached
here a telegram was handed to me,
and which had been received here
Sunday afternoon—the very time
that I requested Mr. Stephens to tel
egraph me “yes” or “no” at Carters
ville! It was received here and read
in these words:
“1 have sent you an important tel
egram at the Markham House. It
was submitted to Mr. Stephens.
(Signed,) Emory Steer.
I got on the ears and went down
there and registered, and just as I
reached the Markham House the
clerk handed me a telegram, as I
expected the one I received here. It
was in these words :
“t know positively that Mr. Ste
phens will not reject the recommen
dation of the independents who meet
this day at the Markham House in
Atlanta.
(Signed,) “Emory Speer.”
Very well, fellow-citizens, there
was the other telegram that I was
expecting from Mr. Stephens at the
Markhan house and at the very hour
I asked for it. There was not anoth
er living soul in Washington, than
Mr. Stephens wfio knew of that con
templated meeting that I know of or
had informed! There was not an
other living soul in that city who
knew of that letter that I sent to Mr.
Stephens. But here is the telegram
from Mr. Speer, who says it was sub
refitted to Mr. Stephens and was al
tered b.y him “in two important par
ticulars,” saying that Mr. Stephens
would not reject that recommenda
tion ! Now, you men who howled
about independents and coalitionists
—who have howled on my track
since last winter—l ask you, in the
name of justice, were we not author
ized to recommend Alexander 11.
Stephens to the people of the state as
a candidate for governor based on the
statements of the telegram from Em
orySpeer? [Applause.]
But, fellow-citizens, we did recom
mend him and he is before the peo
ple of Georgia to-day. He has been
PUT THERE BY THE INDEPENDENTS
of Georgia—by the men who re
nounce cliques and rings. (Applause.)
Here is a letter from Mr. Stephens
on the 18th day of May 7 —four days
after we held that meeting in Atlan
ta ;
House of Representatives.
Washington, May 18, 1882.
Dear Doctor: * * * Your let
tor was received last Sunday and
ought to have been responded to, if
I had been able, forthwith, but the
truth is, I was not able. I was suf
fering extremely 7 from the pain in
my ankle and was utterly unfit to
dictate or do anything else. Allow
me to thank you for it and to say
you managed matters at Atlanta last
Monday admirably, looking, as I
conceive, to the best interests of the
state. [Applause.]
Now don’t you feel mean ? [Laugh
ter.] Is there an organized demo
crat in Georgia who thought he was
trapping, who thought he was biting
us and who does not feel that he is
bit to-day ! [Laughter.]
By the way, there is another letter—bnt I
wtn’t tell secrets on him, for there is no man
in Georgia that I honor, and love and revere
as I do Alexander H. Stephens; no man to
whom I am bound by dearer and tenderer ties
tlian to him! For six years wc sat Bide by
side, speaking and voting together, when the
organized crowd were howling on our Packs
and denouncing us as traitors to the state of
Georgia and the organized party. I saw once
and never shall I forget it—though I Jive to
be an hundred years old never will I forget
a scene I witnessed. There was the house of
representatives in session—the galleries were
crowded—one of the most important questions
to the American people was pending, that of
putting legislative riders on appropriation
bills —great excitement was throughout the
house—the organized democrats In causes
iiad resolved to force their decrees upon the
, American people irrespective of rules and
legislative parliamentary principles. Mr. Ste
phens took an objection aud asked for five*
minutes to be heard upon the question, but
be was absolutely howled down by the demo
crats, who had determinated in caucus that
no speech should be delivered ! Aud not a
man from Georgia, among the eight remain
ing representatives, vras found to vote him a
hearing except Emory Speer and myself,
[Dr. Felton asks us to say just here that Mr.
Persons, another independent, voted to give
Mr. Stephens time to make his speech.—
Editor.] Yet he is your nomiuee!—he is
your standard-bearer of the Bourbon democ
racy! Take him ! [Laughter and applause.]
I repeat that I love to honor Mr. Stephens
with a veneration that is almost iudescribable!
[A voice—“ The doctor hates to give him
up !”] lam not going to give him up. I do
uot, however, propose to take an active part
in this campaign. We have at present two
candidates in the field lor governor. One of
them is General Lucius Gartrell. I kuow him
intimately; a college-mate of mine ; his first
wife was a kinswoman ol mine. He was a
gallant, faithful confederate soldier in the late
war, an eloquent and successful lawyer, a
patriot and a statesman. If elected, he will
make Georgia a good governor. In my opiu-
ion, he will be an honest, competent and
incorruptible chief executive of the state, flc
has many enthusiastic fricuds and will no
doubt have large following in the state. He
is an independent and his position commends
itself to all independent voters. Vote for
whom you please, but whosoever you vote for
I believe you will vote for an honest and
incorruptible patriot, but if I live until next
October 1 am goiug quietly to the polls and
carry out just what I told the people of Geor
gia in that address to do—deposit my vote for
Alexandci H. Stephens for governor of Geor
gia! [Applause.] If this is “coalition” make
the most of it. If that is “Africanizing Geor
gia” make the most of it! If that is “leading
the state into the republican party,” make the
most of it! Thauk God if lam dragging the
state into the republican party by that vote,
every organized democrat in Georgia, for
personal ends and “to save the democratic
party from complete demoralization and over
throw,” is right behind, pushing and helping
old Felton all he can ! [Laughter and ap
plause.]
MOKE OF TOE LETTER.
Now, I will read some more from this letter
of Mr. Stephens:
“ looking as I conceive, to the best in
terest’s of the state, How the matter of tko
governorship will end of conrse no one can
tell, or even form a rational conjecture. My
position towards it has been very distinctly
stated. My future course with reference to it
will depend upon the voice of the people.”
Docs he say upon the voice oi that Atlanta
coalition ? “The greatest objection that some
people have to my being governor seems to
be that certain other people are willing to
vote for me. Such is the frailty and weak
ness of poor human nature!”
You Cannot fiud, fellow-citizens, in all that
letter, or in this other letter, or in several oth
ers i have here, one siDgle word from Mr. Ste
phens—until the Smith letter was written—
that he depends upon that couventon! It is
always upon “the people”—absolutely upon
the people! [Applause.]
I want to read another extraet from a letter
from Mr. Stephens. Of course there are niaDy
things iu these letters that I cannot read. The
good old man is absolutely one of the purest
men I ever knew in my life, and, ot course,
there are some things iu these letters that
cannot be read. I want, though, to read you
something from a letter written on the 7th of
May: “I have simply given my assent to serve
the people of Georgia as governor if they shall
by unmistakable demonstrations show me
that it is their desire for me to do so.”
There you have that letter aud here you have
this letter thanking us for managing matters
admirably in Atlanta on the 15th of May! I
ask you if we were uot justified? If this no
ble old man, this great statesman and illustri
ous Georgian has not beeu a candidate before
the people aud ouly looking to this organized
crowd as a part of the people ?
Wc have, authority for this view.' Just let
me read here some testimony. Iu the forty
sixth congress there was a discussion sprung
as to whether there was a lull vote iu the
southern states, aud a Mr. Bingham, a repub
lican, I think, charged that Mr. Stephens was
opposed in his election by only 58 votes in
bis district, Mr, Stephens made a speech in re
ply, aud I read from the Congressional Record
ot July 10,1879: (Dr. Feltou read the remarks
of Mr. Stephens explainining that he was
nominated by the conventions of both politi
cal parties, that every republican in the dis
trict who went to the polls voted for him, aud
that the 58 votes against him were cast by
“scattering democrats.”)
My Lord, what an announcement! Here is
this old statesman who says that both political
parties nominated him—democrats and repub
licans—he says every republican iu his district
voted for him, and that the only men who vo
ted against him were “scattering democrats!”
And the “scattering democrats” have now
gone to Atlanta and made him their standard
bearer. [Laughter and applause.] This hap
pened in the very year he wrote the Casey let
ter and denounced the political caucus! Iu
Atlanta we supposed he could as well receive
our recommendation, or not reject it as he
could in the election for the lorty-sixth con
gress, receive, or not reject the nominations ol
both political parties! He says he receives
the votes of republicans, aud that district is
republican, in my judgment, to-day! It has
about 15,000 voters, and about 8,000 of them
are republicans. Yet no man iu that district
can beat Mr. Stephens for congress.
ELECTION FRAUDS
You charge “coalitiou” on us and that we
are trying to “Africanize Georgia ! ” Why ?
Simply because I said in that platform 1 be
lieved in “a free ballot and a fair count.” I
believe every man in Georgia, white and black,
is entitled to have his vote counted and hon
estly returned by the officers of the precinct.
I believe that every man in the state, rich aud
poor, learned and unlearned, is entitled to go
up to the ballot box, and, untrammelled by
bribes, unfettered by corruption and unintim
idated by threats, express his opinion, and
that vote ought* to be eouuted. Is it done in
Georgia? Is it done by the organized demo
crats in this district? No, sir! Was it done
two years ago at the congressional election?
No, sir! Is not there a man here belonging
to the organized who can or will defend his
party ? Was it honest ? Did uot fraud hold
high carnival and villainy run riot iu the sev
enth congressional district two years ago ? I
will answer for you directly! [Applause.]
But, fellow-citizens, they charge “coalition!’
I ask you, isn’t this simply a sort of subter
fuge to distract attention from the coalition
that was formed in this state two years ago ?
Here are the returns of the last gubernatorial
election and if in those counties with the lar
gest republican votes Governor Colquitt is
not in the lead, I will admit that I am a “coal
itionist,” and retire from this congressional
••ice forever. [Applause.] Isn’t it a sort of
of “stop thief V” vEsop tells It in his fa
bles of the man who ran and cried at the top
of his voice, “stop thief!” when all the time
the villain had the stolen goods under his
coat and arm! [Laughter.] So it is with
these organized brethren crying out “coalitiou!
radical! republican! Africander of Georgia!”
and all the time they are heart and soul trying
to do those very things ! [Applause.] There
is the proof of it! [holding up the returns of
the gubernatorial election,]
But Mr. Stephens felt that he must take a
stand. lie had the independents safe. He
knew he had been an independent all his life
and he says “the man who is bound by a cau
cus is simply the blind creature of a Jacobin
club;” he says he “would rather be a dog and
bay the moon,’than be bound by sueji a cau
cus.” But —you are going to vote for him !
[Laughter.] Why ? Simply to save the or
ganization “from complete demoralization aud
perfect overthrow! ” That is all of it! [Ap
plause.)
We are willing to trust him as an indepeu
dent. We know
HE IS AN INDEPENDENT I
We know he will be governed by no ring,
clique, convict lessee, or any other man. We
know lie is independent of auy faction, but to
you organized he is a bitter pill 1 Distinguish
ed organized democrats—l see some of them
in the house—have told me : “You forced him
on us!” Yes, fellow-citizens. Did you ever
see a baby drenched with medicine? I have
the doctor there do it. He would take it by
•
its hands and by the nose, and it would have
to open its little mouth ; then fie would push
in the pill, or spoonful of medicine, and the
baby would swallow just to get its breath and
save its life. It was obliged to swallow!
[Laughter.]
Just so a few of us independents, acting for
ourselves, Dr. Miller at the head—full of wit
and full of fun, the brightest man in Georgia
—met aud determined to
DRENCH THE ORGANIZED.
[Laughter.] We got them by the nose and by
the hands, and in a little while the mouth flew
open and we just took Alexander 11. Stephens
and we pitched him iu. [Laughter and cheers.]
And we are still holding the nose and we pro
pose to hold it until next October—aud then
they will swallow the pill, [Cheers and laugh
ter.] The only drawback in all the play is iu
the purgmg process! It won’t be many days
after they swallow that pill and Stephens is
governor of Georgia before the purging com
mences. [Laughter.] I won’t try to nauseate
you, but just think of it when the rings of
Georgia begin to purge. Good Lord, save us
from the stench! [cheers.] We have got
him in their mouth aud we propose that they
shall swallow him. Why not ? He is a noble
man, an illustrious man, an independent all
Ins life, the mau wiio said that organized con-
ventions are bodies of irresponsible tricksters,
the who wrote the Casey letter to the or
ganized and said he paid no more attention to
their decree than to a brutem fulinen. lie
said we should correct the errors of the party
withiu the parly. Why didn’t he correct them
in the party then ? Instead, he declared, “If
you impeach my democracy aud say that I,
who have been independent all my life, am
not a democrat and it is not right to nominate
me, I will take my case to the pure democracy
at the polls.” [Cheers ] Why, I have got
this book filled up with Stepheus aud his let
ters too!
(A voice—Have you got the Smith letter?)]*
Yes; this Is the gist of it. “I will not run
unless I receive the endorsement, or nomina
tion, ot the organized convention to me**t at
Atlanta.” Just as he says in the other letter
that he will run it the people show that they
Want him. Ido not deny that you organized
are a part of the people—a part of the constit
uency ot Georgia. He wanted our recommen
dation, and he got it! He wanted yours, and
he got it! And you have to swallow him!
[Cheers.j
I must hasten to a close. I must dismiss this
governor’s question, and do not propose to
give so much time to it again in this canvass,
but it was due to my neighbors who have read
the charge of coalition, and Africanizing the
State, and leading the people into the republi
can party, and being in combination with
I’iesident Arthur, that £ should meet the
charge and tell the facts. I have nothing to
do with President Arthur’s business, in my
j udgment he has made a very good president.
I can’t put my finger on a single* legislative
act of his that I can object to. Can you name
it? Now, do not go out and say I am in the
combination with the president. Suppose I
was. Why don’t you show that he is the bug
aboo you say lie is? I said two years ago that
Garfield was a gentleman aud a Christian pa
triot, and they howled on my track like a pack
of wolves because I had said it; but when Gar
field died, never had I conceived of going to the
extreme lengths of fulsome flattery and eulo
gy' that these organized democrats and news
papers attained! Such actions are, in my
sight, contemptible.
I want every independent, every democrat,
every republican and every colored man to
vote for me. There is not a man in this dis
trict that I do not solicit his vote, and if I am
elected to Hie next congress 1 announce here
that I will be an independent representative.
I intend to be an independent candidate—in
pendept ol party, rings, or cliques; bound to
no party, Isundicuflcd to no political caucus or
convention, but the candidate of the people.
II elected, I will vote and speak for the peo
ple’s good, and prosperity, and happiness, ir
respective of party! [Cries of, “Hurrah for
Felton!”]
That is where I stand, and right here, upon
that platform,
I ANNOUNCE MYSELF
an independent candidate to represent you in
the forty-eighth congress. [Great applause.]
(Dr. Felton then discussed hi icily the present
revenue legislation, the iailuie ot the demo
crats to reduce the people’s burdens, compared
his record on river appropriations with those
given to the district in the present bill before
congress.)
Hut I close. I will say no more. Right glad
am I, lellow-citizens, that my neighbors, my
friends, the people who have loved and honor
ed me for 35 years, are to take my ease in hand.
Right glad am I, in the presence of tlie best
audianee Bartow county that lias ever given,
when I have been a candidate for popular fa
vor, overwhelming majorities in my name
right glad am I, here in the presence of these
democrats, these republicans, the white men
and colored men, to place my case in their
charge and keeping, with the plepge that, if I
am made your representative, I will represent
the interest of every man, irrespective of par
ty, of faction, of politics, of race or color, and
for the welfare and happiness of all, both rich
arid poor, standing always and only for tho
people and for Georgia’s glory.- [Great ap
plause and congratulations.]
