Tribble Hominee of the Eighth Distort Put Strong and forceful Pacts to him. Athens, Ga., Oct. 15, Hon. W. RT.Howard, Lexinton,Ga. Dear sir:—Your letter ing exclusive white vote sition received. My proposition was clear cut to exclude the ne- gro vote, and you understood it. You claim to have accepted my proposition, Mr. Howard, I made no proposition to disfranchise white votes. I see a wide differ- enoe between disfranchising white voters and negroes. lean not understand proposition: why you say that you accept my Not- withstanding I defeated counties you 668 votes and carried 7 with 4 more votes than you in the convention, and am the legal 1 the still—if nominee of party, ran 3 ou would —in order to ge L rid of the negro vote I off red three weeks ago to enter another white primary. It took you two weeks to reject my proposition and then your newspapers print in flaming headlines, “Howard accepts Tribble’s Challenge.” White primary is the rule under which you alid I sought votes on August 23rd; it is the rule under whien every elected offi- cer in the state holds commis- 10n . ft bas b een tbe ru l e f 0 r de- moeracy for „ ten years, and has th e test through many stormy periods; and Mr. Howard ^ has been good to you. rule you have had no oppo- sition, but when you meet defeat it has served its day and fit only to be cast aside, if you are to be the judge. Did you know that you are the only man in ail these ve ars to kick out m defeat? Are y 0U so much better than other e0 p] e ? The white primary of 1 the party is good enough for everybody but you. It is good enough for me. It does seem to me that the rule of democracy should be good enough for you, for under it’s banner you have sailed and drawn more money out of office, state and national combined, thar any man in the history of the state, and yet you, desperate in defeat, propose to leave the party fold and set up a new party with your rules, and invite me to join you. You are not satisfied with your party ru ] e under which you pitched /our tents on August 23, fought an d me t deteat and now propose another one of your bolts, but your dissatisfaction will never lead me out o^ my party rules, I went into the August primary rules and there I shall abide. . mnventio^H- interference and executive . lce raeth « Is T»*»* th ra mv rnirnl i h ; ' L / a foretaste of the promised land you now offer ™ e - As a matter of truth your exclus.ve clause, if properly forcedwould turn awaj from the polls your friends as welt as as mine, hut the qualification weapon to be used with partisan application is afine idea for some*. your political associates. Please don’t say that I am charging politic al corruption on the mnna gers. You are the man who made this charge and swore to illegal voting—election frauds —in the Eighth congressional district of Georgia. You made the charge and had your parti- sari executive committee thrjvn out . legal . , votes in . blbert . countj , to prop up your mdependent candidacy and try to axe from the office to wnich I have been elected, and now in order that you may accomplish my downfall by the same kind of me thods adopted by that execu tive committee, a qualification rule is proposed. Who will pass on the qualification; anybody knows that the managers will apply the rule finally at the polls. If your politcal partisans could succeed in securing my consent to this qualification and could ,, succeed .... at in placing cer- , large precincts . t partisan .. tam managers with this weapon in hand, another partisan decision like that executive committee decision might be handed down to me and the result might be disastrous. The committee too out of the box Tribble legal votes and left in the box Howard ille- gal votes as is known of all men. If managers could bo seccured at certain polling precincts atore- said, determined to do, hov easy to challenge Tribble voters where there is a qualifications to be in q^irederd about at the will ot such a marag/r and rule out Tribble ^ es . but whPn Howard voters no V™* questions f"**™ asked and the votes ffo t0 be 00OTled .

In r this view Willis „ ,, Adams, W. D.

[ prove it by the three party divisions in congress. (a) After your desertion of your Democratic assonciates tnese democratic colleages met again in caucus and not only censured vou but condemned vour deser¬ tion and discussed the property of on longer receiving you in tbo party counsel. (b) The leader of one branch of the republicay party, Speaker Cannon, stated that the new legis legislation could not have been in its present form without tbo aid of you a d your deserting asso.. ciates. (c) The leader of the other branch of the republican part'/, LaFollette, said m his last maga¬ zine: “On March the loth, 1900. the Cannon machine was saved from defeat only bv the help of its democratic ailiess in the House. Those Democrats were lead by Fitzgerald a Tammany represen¬ tative. Among them were Liv¬ ingston and Howard of Georgia, Last week these two Georgia rep¬ resentatives were repudiated by their constituents.” Mr. Howard, with propositions adieu. If you continue in tho race we meet again on November *th and on that day the second battle wilt be fought. I will carry the bannerol' democracy, inscrib¬ ed thereon 'will be “white votes sought.” You will carry ihe hat> tie of Iudeiiendentism, inscribed thereon will be “white and negro votes sought.” It remains to be seen which banner will trail in the dust.
