Mayor of the City of Bl ogham pton
N. Y.
“Yes, It’s a palpable fraud—i
Infamous forgery,” repeated Col,
Llviogatoo, as hs completed read
lug the circular.
“And furthermore/* said he,
there are men lu my offl e now
who know what I did write
force bill. The only correspond
ence on the Lodge bill between John
Livingstou and inysolf grew out of
a letter he wrote me asking If ths
Farmers’ Alliance of Georgia
wished the force bill killed.
wrd*e him we did uuhealtatlogly,
and gave my reasons. He then re
plied that at inj request, backed by
my State Alliance people and those
of other States, he would do all in
his powej to prevent the passage of
the bill
He published the letter over hie
n signature iu a paper published
at Richmond, Va. r in which he said,
at the request of L. F. Livingston,
president of the Georgia State Alli
ance, backed by bis Alliance peo
ple, he had done aud was dolng|ail
In his |>ower to prevent the passage
of the Lodge bill.
‘Now, this letter purposing to be
signed by myself and sent to John
Livingston, is a villlanou- fraud
aud entirely a substitution for
what I did say. Instead of sayiog
we wauted the Lodge bill or some
thing like it, 1 told him emphati
cally we did not want It, and among
other reasons for my opposition
wrote it would breed a war between
the races and in the end a wider
alienation of the section* of this
country, aud Its results. Qoufd not
be other than disastrous to all sec
tions and all people of our country.
And still In this circular John Liv
ingston swears that this letter Is a
copy of oue I wrote him. It is
forgery from bottom to top. Every
sentence Is a forgery. It-does uot
represent one single sentiment of
mine. Furthermore, I can prove
by men in my office who haw my
Utter to this tusu lust there I* not
rord of .truth ih It.
I want to -ay that I never ap
pealed to Mr. John LI vjug* ton for
auy particle of help In my canvass,
either in the way of money 4 or
speech-making, but> he has oalled
upon me to assist him, which* call
-was, however, declined.
Whatever proposition* this man
may have made to the Republican
National Committee have been
wholly unauthorised aud Entirely
without my knowledge or consent.
Again,” continued Colonel Llv-
4th, requesting me to pass the ques
tion of aiding lu the election of the
sub-treasury man, Colonel L. F.
Livingstou, over to Hon. James J,
Holden, chairman of the Republi
cau National Congressional Com
mittee, has beet! complied wl’.b,
and having Ills acknowledgement
of the same, I am tfVat liberty to
say more, the whole matter being
iu hi* charge.
A leading member of (hat com
mittee from a New England state
Informed me that th* sub-treasury
plan had shrewdly been put through
the National Alliance convention
last December at St. Louis for the
purpose of diverting the farmers’
attention from the railroad*; that
it was a device engineered by the
railroad Republicans to be used
like their promise to the negroes of
“forty acres aud a mule” just after
the clo»e of the war—to republican-
tae the whole Houth and render It
a* solidly republican as It has here
tofore been demo ratio.
Ho here we have the chief of the
“forty acres aud the mule” advo
cates, In our dear friend Leonidas,
who proposes to meet Calvin S
Brice, the.cbalrraan of the Demo
cratic National Committee, and nor
genial Roswell P. Flower, chairman
of the Democratic Congressional
Committee, at the “open political
grave t at ia beingdifg for them,”
as you wlH rfbte from sum* of his
letters herein enclosed, which
pleas* return to m# aftfer |>eruss!.V
lam net able to Hud on# farmer
Iu the groat state of New York who
not niwdlM. th. mMmmijt
tentlon from the railroads and ad
vies engineered by tbs railroad re
publicans to be used like their
promise to the negroes of “forty
acres and a dfule” * la an Infamous
falsehood out of whole cloth. There
was not a republican or a railroad
man on thicommitte which formu
lated It.
“Now as to another charge. I
want to say that neither John H.
Inman nor any other person con
nected with the Richmond and
Danville railroad ever made any
proposition either directly or In
directly to me, or any one connected
with the Alliance, looking to an
alliance or federation with our peo
ple for any purpose whatever. In
deed theohargeelu every Hue of the
circular from beginning to end are
one mass of falsehoods.”
Colonel "Livingston shoved the
burning log* together lu the greet
fireplace, and aa the flames leaped
up he pushed hie chair backward
*ud continued:
“There** more In this circular
than appears on the surface. I Im
agine It was gotten up by my repub
lican opponents who have received
encouragement from the alleged
Jeffersonian movement which died
»tlll-born v But for that movement
of Vh« opposition to tbs majority of
the democratic party of tbs district
