To a Savage Attack Made on Him by
(ion. Cordon. He Show* Cordon up
in a True Light.
Savannah, Ga , Sept. 19th, 1890.
My Dear John Boycott Gordon :
Your letter is received. And so
you boycott me by refusing to debate
with me ; you are a success in boycot
ting. You slander me, a private citi
zen. not as candidate, not interfering
with you or begging a canvass, and
then refuse to face me before the peo
ple. Is there any law that forbids a
candidate to debate with anyone ex
cept an oposing candidate ? If so, 1
did not protect my dignity, in 1880,
when a candidate for governor, for I
discussed with Colonel R. J. Moses in
Albany and was so undignified as to
inyite some one to discuss with me at
every place I spoke, after Governor
Colquitt quit speaking, at a Columbus
meeting. I must first avow myself a
candidate to be of sufficient dignity to
receive your notice. _ You say I gave
you offense by saying in my interview
that ‘T see no sin in it; if I were to
a candidate; the office belongs to no
oneor you say that I meant you. I
I was thinking of something else, not
you. But suppose I had said the office
does not bebng to John B. Gordon,
where would have been the offense ?
Would that'have reflected ou your hon*
or or character ? Yet this is your only
reason for dragging mo into ridicule
and contempt. All right-minded men
feel contempt for a demagogue, and
all southerners look down on me who
shirked military duty during the war.
You tried to put me in both of those
positions, and your ouly excuse or
apology is that you thought 1 meant
you, when I said the senatorship be
longs to no one. I left the whole field
to you for your humiliating, digesting,
begging cauvass. I was neither writ
big letters nor speaking. I was not in
your way, yet’you strike at me in a
way that shows a bad heart and weak
head. You have known for ten yoars,
at least, that there was no foundation
whatever, for your remark as to my
war record. You know that I was in
the Georgia legislature; that while
there, and exempt, from military duty,
I joined the Chatham Artillery as a
private, and while on duty, received
an injury, from which I did not even
partially recover until 1864 and have
not yet wholly recovered from it. You
knew that this has been rehearsed in
every campaign I have been in, and
thrown aside with disgust even by op
poneuts, but you iguore your knowl
edge, and strike one not iu your way,
and one who, duriug the heated, fiery,
bloody campaign in 1880, did not sav
an unkind word aboat you, although
the air was ringing the cry, and the
evidence was strong that you had sold
ont for a price the high commission
placed in your hands by the people of
Georgia; and when I say you have
slandered me and ask to face you—the
only surviving brave man of the late
war, who is boasting every day from
the stamp of your bravery—you take
shelter behind my unwillingness to
nominate myself as a candidate, as you
have done. So much for introduction
and explanation. Now for business.
My dear John Boycott, you are the last
man on earth who should attempt to
ridicule any one. This surprises you.
I know you have not the remotest con- j
ception of yourself. 1 know it; yout
friends know it, because you are too
good hearted to do what you so often
do. if your head was right. The fault
is in year bead. That is yout weak
spot, and yet you believe it your strong
point. That is always the case with
weak mind d people. Achilles, when
dipped in the river to make him invul
nerable, was held by the heel. You
were held by the head; Achilles’ soft
est part was his heel, and through it
he was k : !!ed, you know. Y’ou don’t
know, for instance, that your business
career furnishes material enough for a
dozen first class farces. You do not
imagine that you are the living realis
tic “Mulberry Helleis” of America. It
is impossible for you to see it because
the mental defects that lead you to get
up so many and guch a variety of skin
games and south sea bubbles, utterly
disqualify you for seeing the absurdi
ties and impossibilities wb : ch you
swesr are perfectly practV able rid
have “millions in them ” You a e a
good fellow, but in business you ce a
child and a simple one at that. No
not so simple, for your friends who go
into your schemes fare bad’y always,
while you do not. Ido not mein you
swindle them ; I mean only that you
take care of \#irself, but not of them.
Ido not intend to revile your great
schemes in this letter. I can’t write a
book to.day. If l think the subject of
sufficient importance to take it up again
I will devote a few hours to the weak
ness of your head ; your want of judg
ment, of capacity for business. In my
opinion, you are the best subject for
ridicule in America. Your implicit
faith in all your wild speculations,
your utter unconsciousness of your own
mental defects; the pomp r id dignity
you throw into even “How d’do,” the
grandiloquence with which you dem
onstrate to a friend that “a bow is
worth more than a cow,” as if you
were saying “So help me, God,” are
known by all who know you.
My Dear Boycott, don’t enter the
ring to fight with ridicule. Stick to
the war. It alone has carried you in
to big offices four times and has paid
you $72,000; that is, the good people
ol Georgia gave you that much, but
you threw down your title to $24,000
of it in 1880, and deserted them < >
serve a railroad for money. Your
leaning is toward railroads. Yon
threw away your senatorship to be
railroad lawyer. You next got up a
railroad corporation (the Atlanta and
Pacific, made a large sum of money,
gambled it off in Wall street; then got
up another raiload in Florida that emp
tied the pockets of friends. First, a
railroad lawyer; second, a railroad
promoter; third, a railroad president;
and fourth, the farmer’s best friend. If
your Florida scheme had succeeded,
you would be to day a railroad presi
dent, fleecing the farmers. Nothing
hut your lack of business judgment
kept you from being that kind of far
mers’ friend ; nothing hut your failure
to be a railroad president, drove you
hack to Georgia to be the farmers'
friend for the same office you threw
away when you deserted them to join
a railroad. Yon could not live on its
salary then, but you can now. “Barkis
is willin, ” and anxiously begging for
it again.
Of the several reasons you have giv
(?h foi that resignation, which is the
true one ? Was it the small pay of
$5,000 ? If so, how was it that after
drawing that salary for seven years,
you seem suddenly to find out its small
size, that you had to use the telegraph
to notify Governor Colquitt that you
could not live on it, and had resigned ?
Why this haste, when congress would
adjourn iu three weeks, and your pay
of $4.56 a month would go on ?" Why
not resign in November, 1880, accept
the place on the Louisvi'le and Nash
ville railroad and let your senatorial
pay run on during vacation? No!
While you recently boast of your brav
ery in war you have never been couia
geous enough to tell the confiding peo
ple, who have honored you twice too
often as governor, the whole of that
transaction. 1 will now shod some
light on it iu a way, so far as I know,
that lias never been given. What 1
shall say iu the beginning refers to
your attack on me at Decatur. 1
quote ; “Mr. Norwood is a lawyer ; 1
am not ; lam a farmer, end have liv
ed all my lile on a farm except during
|my public life and a little leave of ab
, seuce from 1861 to 1865.” You now
j tell the world you have been nothing
but a farmer all your life except when
in public life and the w»r. You con
fess you are not a lawyer. We all
know that farming, politics and war
do not make a mau a lawyer; and hav
ing made this confession, will yon,
when 1 resign the farmers, in my ab
' sence try to persuade them you are
their best frieud ? Tell them.
Ist. llow it came to pass the gieat
Louisville and Nashville railroad com
' pany wanted to hire a farmer as its ad
! vising counsel.
2d. Why that railroad company
went to the Uuited States Senate to
find a farmer to do its law business ?
3d. Why that compauy selected you,
a farmer, out of a body of seventy-six
men to be its advising counsel ?
4th. How did you find out that the!
Louisville and Nashville company de-'
sired a farmer as its chief ad vising law*!
yer
4th. Did you, a farmer, impose I
yourself on that unsuspecting corpoia- j
tion' as a first-class lawyer?
My Dear Boycott, you are not an |
impostor. You do not intend to leave
yourself in the position of inducing
that corporation to engage you as its
advising counsel on a sa'ary of $14,-
099 a year, when you were nothing
but a farmer. Of course you do not.
Well, what then ?
There is one escape for you, but it
is a terrible one, for that path leads
to a pit -an abyss. Worse than that
of being an impostor it is this : That
the LousC'le and Nashville company,
when you entered its sen ce as its
advising counsel, wa‘ well infotmed
that yottweie only a farmer. Do you
not see the point, general ? A fen
more pen strokes aDd it w'U appear to
every one, as by the enchauter’s wand.
If that g eat railroad corporarion v/r «
not imposed on and knew you were
n thing but af- mer, what on earth
did it want with you on its payroll at
$14,000 a year or at any piice ?. You
stand around Atlanta doing nothing;
you wore not once asked for yo ir le
gal (or farmer’s) opinion on anv law
question ; you render d no legal servi
ces. Bruce & Co., the leading and
advising counsel of that great campany
never heard of you as counsel of that
roa 1. What consideration, then, did
that railroad receive for the large sum
of money paid to you for doing noth
ing?
If that railroad paid put its own
money to you, it received no value for
it. A farmers services are not worth
$14,000, nor SSOO per annum to a
railroad. If that rr’lroad did not pay
out its own money to you, it must have
paid out the money aud charged it to
the account of someone else, or have
paid out money deposited with him to
be paid to you. What then, I ask,
was the real reason for your resigna
tion ? Your sudden flight from the
senate; the equally sudden appoint
ment of Governor Browu to your seat,
your ostentatious announcement that
you resigned to be counsel of the L. &
N. R. R. Co., your confessed total un
fitness for tne position. The enormous
salary paid you ; your retention on (Tie
pay roll of the L. & N. for not less
than two years; the fact that you were
never called on during that prioJ by
that company to do any work, legal or
otherwi-e; the excuse you gave that
the senator’s salary could not support
you ; the fact that there was no prior
relation or obligation between vou and
the railroad are some of the links in s
chain of evidence that can’t be broken
by raising your hand to the great white
throne or pointing your finger back
ward to the war and saying you will
not answer roe. lou say- you resigned
for h'gher pay. You got your pay,
from the one that employed you with
out having auy use for you. I can see
how you could have been traded out of
your seat withont knowing it. That is,
that the L. & N., at the request of
some one else, might have offered you
$14,000 but that theory, while entire
ly creditable to your guilelessness,
would be equally demonstrative Oi a
degree of simplicity that does not fit
you, for the fault is the head.
Your last mental strain to fix up a
better plan for the Alliance product is
a fit illustration of your business when
yon advocate one warehouse on the
coast of Georgia’s end rope of cotton ;
a warehouse, when strung out that
would be seventy-three m'les long, and
when doubled up more then a m'le
each side. But enough until I hear
from you. Yours, etc.,
T. M. Norwood.

Gordon at Conyers.
“Why do the beatbeu rage ?” is
asked in the sacred writ. He rages be
cause he is a barbarian. But if we were
asked why Geu. Gordon and his friend
rage and endeavor to bulldoze the
people, we woidd say because the great
man tbiuks the country and the full
ness thereof belongs to him.
The people have been taught that
Gen. Gordon is a great man. In some
particulars this is true. As a 'soldier,
under a go&l leader, he was a suc
cess. As a politician he has been suc
cessful fully up to his merit, aud
his ability. An uninteirupted chain
of success has nude him arrogant, and
his conduct towards the people, since
he has become a candidate for the
Lnited .States Senate, rem'ods one
m >ie of the master than the servant of
the people. It doubtless grieves his
fiiends to sec'him evince such spleen
as he showed at Conyers some time
ago while addressing the p ople there.
Mr. Irwin, editor of the Solid South fell
under his hot displeaiuie for copying
an article into In’s paper f dcen from
another. It was said by thoec who
heard it that the langu ige used by oor
hero would have befouled the
mouth of a Billingsgate fish woman.
Time, the great iconoclast, has done
more *o demolish this hero than the
combiued effurts of the Southhaters.
Here, among his own people who had
worshipped him, he spurns them and
calls them vile names. Ah, poor, poor,
creatures that we are, to fawu upon a
great man and have him trampled up
on us. Have the people lost their sell
respect? Will they cringe and fawn
upon a man who continues to heap
abuse upou them simply because they
do think as he does ? No. Though he
wou renown as h soldier, there
are no slaves here to be driven and
abused as he endeavors to do. There
is not a man in the broad domain of
Georgia who would have the hardihood
to brow beat, and maltreat men who fall
under his displeasure r - Gen. Gor
don his done. He wants to go to the
United Stales Senate badly, but he
has undertaken the wrong method.
No man has ever yet caught many
flies with vinega-, and until this man
divests himself of his autocratic man
ners he will fail to make much head
wayfto the senate. Jt is to be hoped
that the senate chamber will never be
entered by Gen. Gordon until'he learns
to treat people respect"ully.
Why, one to have heard him bemean
Livingston at Conyers, would have
thought Livingston had stolen a mule
from him; hut 10, end behold! when
we gel at the truth of the matter, poor
Livingston is suspicioned by this great
office seeker of wanting to
go to the United Stales Senat e .
That was all.
The senate it seems is too rich for
anybody’s blood but Joe Brown’s and
Gordon’s.
Querry ? Did Joe Brown promise
anybody that he would turu the Uni
ted States Senatorship over to Gordon
when his term expired?

Who ts Responsible.
We have been ridiculed by some pa
pers and slandered by others for say
ing that Governor Gordon and bis
friends are responsible for much of
the independent inovemeut in the state.
We re assert what we have said
“the evidence is agahist them.” Imme
diately after Governor Gordon made
his denunciatory speech in Conyers, the
following notice was sent out by his
friends. Let the people read and form
their own conclusions. The movement
is plainly in Gen. Gordon’s interest,
and he must either bear the responsi
bility or stop such proceedings
Here is the notice.
NOTICE TO VOTERS,
iivery voter who opposes boycotting,
and is opposi d to the sub-treasury
scheme, and in favor of Gen. John li.
Goidon for the United States senate
are requested to meet at the court
house at Conyers, at 11 o’clock a. m.,
Thursday next, September 18, to con
suit about the political situation, and
to put out a candidate to oppose the
Alliance candidate for the legislature,
the Alliance candidate being in favor
of the sub-treasury scheme, and having
relused to answer the qife-tion whether
or not he is in favor of Geueral Gor
don for the senate.
This Sept. 15. 1894.
In answer to the above call, about
seventy-five persons met iu the cout
house. Eleven lived out of the coun
ty, nine were republicans, fifteen were
Alliaucemeu merely looking on, and
the remainder were newspaper men,

all, except the newspaper men and Al
liancemen endorsed Gordon.

Tuesday why he gave Col. Joe Brown
his seat in the United States senate.
