HIS CHARGES OF CORRUPTION.
Panin Ilia Ueiponilblllty tor tha Plata
of Affair. Eilallnf Throughout
the District— aomo of UP
Charg.s,
Thnmson. Ga., Nov. 21.—(Special).—
Jon. Thomas E. Watson afcs written
and forwarded his tollman reply to MaJ.
Blaok’a oropostttom for another eleotfan
hi dhs Tenth district. Mr. Watson states
how. at the request of a friend, he
wroe proposing to MaJ. Black tihait bal
lot boxes from oentaln precincts be
purged of Ulexal ballots, nod aiys tiu.t
Uhls has cmVbarrueueU Mr. Black,;as.is
by Che bad temper of his reply and
counter propcsttCm. He says, however,
thalt Maj. Black speaks Ices for himself
than for She clique which surrounds
him.
. Goins further, he says:
“It is lharly worth while for ma to
bandy words with Mr. Black as to who
Is nes.'jonslMe for the terrible state of
affairs In Che Tenth;’ but when he rays
that I have arrayed ooutry agatet the
town, and the .poor against tha rich, he
utters a slander which every act and
epeotfa of my Ute ref trees. With all the
power that’s In me I have tried to con
vince the people that the infamous
class laws hat now oppress them would
ruin city uni:l country, merchant and
fawner and laborer—Heaving no one safe
from Ithe storm excepting the pampered
beneftohiTles of unjust lteglshttlon.
"If I am wrong In this belief, about
our laws, tiho h-iets which surround us
are stromgely deceptive.
"The evUls which I have denounced
are ithose which were pointed out to
me by such utatemon as Stephens, and
Toombs, and Jefferson, and Jackson,
wnntJ. C. C. Black.
"If I am uforo of a stickler for the
rights of .the people, as against the po
litical tricksters, than Is allways agreea
ble ito my opponents, I was Inoculated
with the virus by the distinguished non
Wanned.’’
He accuses Maj. Black.of having -
sane over to the ring which he had
fought so persistently In 1892 and be
coming onto of the ohlefs among the
Philistines. If he Is wrong in lighting
ring rule and for the principles of itho
alliance, ho says, then -the people were
wrong 4n- electing Governor Norfhcri
and Congressman LlvJngsto, Moses,
Everett and Bawson and Senator Gor
don. They, he says, Joined the alliance,
which he did not do, but be endorsed
Its platforms and fought for Its prin
ciples.
Further on In this connection Mr.
Watson says;
To have stayed In Congress on the
same terms as did my alliance col
leagues was easily within my power.
To nave abandoned the friends who
bad fought my battles, trusted me,
honored me, loved me, would have
•brought me the same reword It brought
to Northern Livingston, Qloses and
Lawson. 11
1 could not bring myself to buy office
upon these terms, nor could I do so to
day.
Where have I ever raised any strife
except that clash of opinion which
healthily follows fair public debate?
Who ever heard me make a speech
that was not an appeal to the best
thoughlt and the best feeling of my
nuai.'iice?
Who can Tiuote a sentence from any
of my writing that is not In the line of
legitimate discussion?
What airtlce of my political faith
endangers church or stake ?
.. Where have I. appealed to other
weapon than the ballot?
"Hounded like a mad-dog as I was in
1892, then. If ever, was the time for me
lb epeak tho words of passion and reach
• out to jjrasp tho ■weajpooi of retaliation;
..but the otenosnap-Mc reports of my
V speeches ore all accessible to the world,
ana I defy any man to produce a seniti-
xn?nt Which dbes not leave mo in coin-
menda&Me contrast with ithooe Who were
ettbauriUng upon m s the language of vi-
tup#n*tdan.
"Who has more earnestly preached
peace and conctMaNtlon than I?
"Who has more persistently opposed
boycotts and the etern rocouwe to
“measure for measure?”
‘‘.Who has (been readier to forget and
forgive?
"Who has pleaded moire earnestly for
hhait broad liberality wttkA cheerfully
concedes ito every man the right to his
own opinion?
"When Mr. Black or any other Demo
cratic leader speaks of strife and tad
feeding among our people he should not
forget that in tho country counties,
where «)*■ people’s party predominates,
lb Democrat has beetn murdeiled, nor
any Democratic spoaker howled down.
It Is In the Strongholds of his party chut
Populist speakers have been constantly
howled down and Populist voters killed.
He tton reproaches Maj. Black with
the treatment he received In the city of
Augusta In 1892. Had Maj. Black ac-
Cflpted Ms proposition to abide by the
registration laws, alt the trouble would
have been avoided, "no White face of
the dead would have made otu pallid
protest against the fearful system
Which emboldens the ballot box stutter
to murder.’’
He also Charges that "to open the
way for unlimited voting Mr. Black,
in 1892. went before Judge Speer of
the Federal court, and had the reg
istration laws of the district set aside.
I was no party to the case. Then
followed the 13.000 Votes In Richmond
county. I contested the result, and
Mr. Black and bis party friends re
futed me o hearing In congress—tho
first time it was ever done In tho his
tory of the government. Then oame
the election of 1894. I appealed to
him to obey the registration laws.
He refused to respond. Then my
friends went before Judge Roney, of
the Augusta circuit, and Wed to get
an Injunction restraining the election
managers of Richmond county from
disregarding the registry lists. Mr.
Black resisted the Injunction, and
Judge Roney refused to grant It.
Then followed a singular state of af-
■ fairs. The registration laws were
obeyed In every county In the state,
where they existed—with the sole ex
ception of Richmond. Mr. Black's
home county Ignored the bnr which all
fh other counties of the state obeyed.
The result ire* naturally ’a earousUS
or trand’ In Richmond county.
Mr. Wotron then quotes figure* pub
lished In the Atlanta Constitution from
Mr. J. K. KInman of Jefferson county
to show how greatly the vote in different
counties exceeded what it should have
been.
In- closing Mr. Watson says:
"Upon the Idea that the time had come
when' public sntlment was rady for a
repudiation of the Augusta frauds, I
wrote tho brief proposition which ap
peared in the McDuffie Journal.
"It was with great pleasure that I
noted the general approval of my offer
.which the Democrats expressed. There
is no doubt that Mr. Black would have
utterly lost the respect of thousands ol
tho best Democrats of tho district list
ho atemped to treat the proposition with
the same contemptuous indifference which
so many others of mine have met at his
hands.
"I accept his counter-proposition and
agree to refer the matter back to tho
people, as he suggests.
"In that .connection, I again urge him
to enter Into an agreement with me to
observe tho registration! laws, and I
most earnestly implore him to send out
no more circulars offering free rides to
negro voters, and promising to put theni'
In the Jury boxes In return for votes
These methods are not, strictly speaking
Arcadian."

WHY MEDIATION WAS DECLINED
Sir. Gresham Gtvia Out Ills Action In
Dealing With tho Matter—How
s tho Affair I* Likely to Uo .•
Adjusted,
Washington, Nov. 21.—The state de
partment has received a cable reply
from Japan, through Mr. Dunn, at To-
klo, to the United States' suggestion of
oj mediation.
Tho Japaneselcg atton here has also
received from the foreign office In Ja
pan a cable message stating that a
reply has been made, and glvjng Its
terms. Both cables were received here
Sunday afternoon.
The cable to Secretary Gresham is
accompanied by unusual dignity, and
formality in having the Imperial sanc
tion of kbi majesty the Emperor of
Japan. It Is rarely that tho Emperor
speaks in diplomatic negotiations, so
abut.his action In this case la evidence
of Japan’s desire to express Its nppre-
cloltiian of the course of the United
States.
The message Is In two parts, the
first giving the Imperial expression of
good will and saying .that tile success
of tho Japanese arms had been such
that Chinn should approach Japan di
rectly.
The second. part (a more dlrefotly
frm Minister Dun, und expresses as the
views Of the Japanese foreign offices
that, as China has uo minister at To-
kio to submit a direct proposition it
could be made by Ohinathrough Min
ister Dun. TU eeable to Minister Kulr-
uo is substantially tho same as the
foregoing.
The replies were decided on at a
special meeting of the Tapaueso cab
inet on Saturday and were sent from
Toklo Saturday night, but the’Mans-
mission delayed tlioni until Sunday*
TUie tone of the reply and »Lhe expres
sions of Imperial good will give mucu
satisfaction .to the oillclals here, and
now HlKLt the facta aie know'ni no fur*
ther res»erve im maintained the
term* of 'ohe negotiations, which hive
hitherto been withheld. It appears
that at 'die outset Secretory Gresham
consuHed Minister Kulrno, as thdre
was no debite l> take action wVbityi
would be otherwise thmn agreeable to
Japan. , , .

This whs berfore Mr.^ Gresham. Itad
sent' the message to Japan,
American mediation. It was
that president Cleveland had no desire
to mediate tho trouble, but on the
contrary feJt that tlid exercise of the
*cood oillcw of the United btatts
might entail a serious burden and re-
spoUHlbltiliy -and possibly ox^'ro iiltl-
maite feeling by one party or tho other.
Under these circumstances no action
would be taken If Japan felt It would

FOR ASP1RINO BLACKS TONE.
After the passago of the bill to pro
tect women from slanderous tongue*
was passed. Which was nwompHShea
without any opposition, Tho fight over
the bill to require Che examination of
applicants for admission to tho bar
to undergo an examination ot an Eng
lish education, as well ns upon the law,
was opened up. Tho Judge of earth
Judicial circuit Is to appoint a commit
tee jf three to conduct the examina
tion.
Nobody Objected to examining appli
cants on ttia law, but Mr. West of
Lowndes, Chairman of the commltteo
on education, made a determined fight
against examining them on anything
else.
He declared that half tho lawyers In
the legislature would go down under
surth an examination, and when Mr.
Brock well of Chatham icot up to chn m-
plon the cause of higher qualification
among lawyers; Mr. West pointed his
finger at him land In Impassioned tones
challenged him to tho test.
Glr. Jenkins, chairman of the Judl-
clnry committee, and Mr. Battle of
Muscogee, a* well ah Mr. Brockwel!
made strong arguments for (helblll.
Mr. Weit’s amendment to criminate
tho English cduaatton feature of tho
examination was killed.
Mr. Hogan, the be whiskered Pop
ulist from Llnootn county, created nn
uproar by offering nn amendment ap
plying the examination of ull lawyers
who had been admitted to Ifio bar
during tho lest twenty years. Tho
speaker thought this amendment was
w Joke, but Mr. Hogan solemnly Ue-
oalred his earnestness and was proceed
ing to argue tho question when he
was ruled out of order. He would
not shut up, however, until he said he
wanted to get rid of all the Jack-legs
now In the profusion es well as to
guard against the creation of new
ones. 1
Immediately there wus an uproar
and Mr. Brockwel! of Chatham, when
be was recognized, began to roast Ho
gan, but was ruled out of order and
the PopuHet statesman turned as he
was retiring down the aisle shouted
out that he was sorry to see no one hut
lawyer* opposed to his amendment.
Some of the younger lawyers lit the
house were very hot at the whiskered
gentleman from Lincoln, nnd will un
doubtedly play him for even at the
first opportunity.
