BEARCT REPLIES | TO DR. DREWRY. ' T Borrow Call-. I wrote an article in 1 behalf of Mr. Berner and Dr. Drewry re » plied to ft, to t|>e controversy between he and I is of his seeking, not mlhe. The doctor now realizes the position he placed himself in as a special triend of ' Gov. Boynton and j H fighting Gov. Bojn- ] ton’s friend, and wLl.ee to escape under > the plea that “he has neither time or incli , nation to engage in a newspaper contro- i verty." I will now dismiss you, doctor, • with my bleaslng. The doctor says his “article was written ' without any desire to prejudice any one ( ’ against Col. Berner or Monroe county.'. , ’ If that is true why did the doctor write | this: “Ishall never forget who wrung 3 from Spalding county the pleasure of hav- 1 i ing Gov. Boynton made governor.’’ j The doctor says I made it a point of | leaving out that part which refers to Mon- , roe’s action when Judge Boynton was a 1 candidate fifteen years ago. Thedoctoria • mistaken in that, also. I mid: “The ( ’ doctor say ■ I was mistaken about Monroe I always supporting the candidate of Spald ing. I had forgotten the exact status of • that matter (the Boynton race he was [ speaking of). Let it be as the doctor says, . that the Cabaness taction was on top in , that race, but remember that the brave young Berner .true to true to Boynton, went down, etc. Don’t let it be ’ said that Cabaness’a mistake is still to ’ follow Berper in the midst of the friends I of his friend, etc. If the doctor had been i only intending to establish history, would he not have accepted my statement and been satisfied? Didn’t he find fitult with 9 me again in order to bring out another ’ piece of history? ‘ The doctor thinks my. article a pitiftil • failure; but notwithstanding his lack of time and inclination did he not feel that it would be better to add a little more fuel to the tiame he had kindled against Berner and Monroe before closing his controver- r sy? } It seems that the Hon. Milton Candler f was a candidate against Judge Stewart in 6 the 70s, I think. There was a lock-up in II the convention. Monroe voted, if I re ? member correctly, ' for Judge Stewart a good many times, but also voted for Cand ler. The doctor also wants to state there is I more of the same sort, reiering,' I suppose, to the time when Nat Hammond was a candidate against Judge Stewart. Mr. Hammond had been born and raised in Monroe cotfhty and carried it, just as I Judge Stewart carried Clayton county— r because ft was his native county, r While the doctor harps upon these - thing?, he says nothing of the time when . Monroe supported Judge Stewart, Judge Boynton, Judge Speer and Judge Hunt for the judge’s place, and Judge Beck for con e gross, by an overwhelming majority, and j others. He is looking for the other side of the question. What for? Not to preju dice the people of Spalding against Mon roe or Col. Boynton, as he says, but to help Candler. According to the doctor’s history, it ap- B pears that every time Monroe refused to stand by Spalding she got left. In the • light of that history, is ft wise for us, as a j part of the Flint circuit and the sixth con gressional district, to break up the present relations with Monroe and go back to those the doctor complains of? THE doctor as a born wit. The doctor reads me out of the lists,of the born wits. But he certainly places himself on it by the position he assumes. Let me show you a picture, Illustrating the doctor’s position: Here is a beautiful landscape. On the right of it is a long line of men representing RobL L. Berner. On the left is a long line of men repre senting Col. Candler. Among the Berner men I find one standing like Eaul of old, with head above the rest. He is a noble old Boman, easily distinguished everywhere by his pleasant countenance, his fine appearance and his wonderful self possession. It is easy to see I that it is our Boynton. Among the Candler men we find Dr. i Drewry, also of pleasant mien and hand some appearance. The doctor seems to be in trouble, however, about his friend Boynton. He hates to see him in the Ber ner ranks. Fear is also on his counte nance, for he is afraid some of the judge’s ; friends will rally about him there, r The picture lam painting is one of the » I new kind—a moving picture—for I see I Dr. Drewry waving a picture of Boynton i j and calling on the braves to aid him in 1 avenging a wrong that had been done 15 years to his friend by one Cabaness and his faction in Monroe. The doctor seems now to be keeping one eye on Boynton to see what effect his little speech will have. Boynton is moving now. Listen, boys, tire old man, eloquent, who never forgot a iriend, is speaking. He says: “Friend Drewry, don’t strike Berner on • my account in this race. He is the only oire of those candidates who stood by me . in 185*3. Don’t trot out that occasion and e hit the only one who was true to me jon that occasion. Besides, my dear Drewry, we all forgave Cabaness in 1862, and he helped me since and we are all good friends now.” I cloje the tube with the judge still speaking. Now, doctor, look on that pictunfe it shows you to be a born wit of magnifi cent proportions. Ha! ha! ba! Don’t be witty any mort. Help Boynton’s friend, fi So for aa personalities are concerned, > doctor, I bear you no malice, and intend you do ofimce. A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest not.
