LIVINGSTON LETTERS,
THE NATTER IS NOW SET RIGHT.
It Looks Like s Put-Up Job Dons
Injurs L- P. Livingston-Who
Perpetrator—Alliance Music.
Speelsl to Records*.
AtlantafcOoi. 30.—Ths Living
ston political letters are Jnet now
getting In form, I believe, where
they een be handled Intelligently
by the average outsider.
Two things u aw are demonstra
ted:
The letter# against L. F. Liv
ingston woreorlglually Inspired,
not actually written, iu Atlanta!
Ga., and not In the State of New
York.
The signature of John Liv
ingston, president of the New
York Btate Alliance, Is genuine.
In other words, John Livingston
knowingly perpetrated a wrong
and a libel, uudor tho direction
oertaln parties here In Atlanta,
stating what they all knew to
false, with deliberate Intent to In
ure both L. F. Llvingstou and tbe
railroad interests iu Georgia.
Tbe Atlanta parties were enemies
to Livingston aurl the alliance; and
to Pat Calhoun and tbe railroad In
tereata. Livingston and Calhoun,
remember, are both regarded In
oertaln quarters as probable candi
dates for the senate.
Beyond any reasonable doubt,
and to the extent of a moral car
talnty, this ought to fix th# origin
of the lie. It Is the same hand
that hasfqrced an Issue between
Gordon and the alliance, that has
Injected all this needless venom
mod personality Into the campaign,
and that has#dl along been so vin
dictively and unreasonably oppos
ed to the railroad Interests of Geor
St*-
One more thing:
If Johu Livingston's signature Is
genuine, It remains to be proven
that be is capable of lying In order
to exonerate L. F. Livingston
That he Is of a lying calibre and
kind, Is shown lu these letters, tbs
ORIGINALS of whloh are now In
Atlanta:
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
While striving for reformation
all along the line, and demanding,
among other things, a free ballot
and a fair count, yet, at the earneet
request of Colonel Leonidas F. Liv
ingston. president of tho Georgia
ibfiiuu. ihciiudui ui wi* uawrps
Buts Alliance, endorsed by Us con
vention, and by other southern
sUt# Alliances, whose orders I am
(edged tf> obey In the matter of tbe
m pending election bill, J hereby
promise to oppose the same— reserv
ing, however, tbe privilege of
changing my vlewa In case satis
factory proof shall be presented of
such unlawful Intimidation, vio
lence end fraud against alliance
men In theae states at the Novem
ber election, as shall afford un
doubted cause for Its passage.

Aocompanplng tbs original copy of
this article was tbe following pri
vate letter to Colonel Livingston
from John Livingston:

Dear sir: Yours of tbe 1st, Inst,

io no respouse has come.
Your Intimation that I might
sueh a fool as to deliver any address
at Aylsota without first submitting
the same for tbs revision of your
committee, Is humiliating; but the
hurry of your affairs may explain
the contradictory statements
some of your letters, which mi|
otherwise be deemed to evince
tentlonsl deception.
The work done and advice given
be me to you, at you request, for ths
advancement of your personal o
political ventures nave been a heavy

It seems no compensation Is to -be

I am quite confident that tbe evi
dence as to the origin of tbe origin

merely to describe the quantity and
quality of the evidence now accu
mulating, and not to Insinuate that
any legal proceedings for redress
are In prospect.
