A Sweet-Scented Gang,
Furious onslaughts are made upon Dr.
Felton, that he baa answered the call of the
people in this campaign. It is attempted
to stay the force of ht« Mows by falsehood
and insult. It will not ho denied that in
dustrious efforts were made to enlist him in
tho Gordon movement.
His integrity and ability are unques
tioned. Ho has no equal in the State ns a I' ^
popular orator. His political information
isjwide and accurate.
He has been conspicuous, indeed famous,
for tho wonderful contest which he made
single-handed and which resulted in ‘he I ia , be j eage _
destruction of one of the strongest
and most mischievous rings that over dis.
A Word About Slander.
The impression made upon intelligent
men outside of Georgia with reference to the
present political campaign ia calcniated to
humiliate every patriotic and honest citizen
of the State. Men who are impressed with
the cspacities, resources, intelligence end
virtue of our State and people ask in as
tonishment if we seriously contemplate
electing General Gordon Governbr.
While Gordon and hia organ, the Atlanta
Constitution, are complaining that he ia
vilely slandered by the press and speakers
who in the interest of good government
are opposing the desperate scheme for his
election, men who know his character and
are familiar with hia record ore amazed at
the moderation through which this man,
insensible alike to publio and private ob
ligations, is permitted to escape the disgrace
of known facta, connecting his past and
present positions with some of' the worst
transactions in the history ot any man in
this age of corruption and demoralization.
He has bnt recently said that he went in
to the convict lease to secure convicts for
s few friends, and retired when this
was accomplished. Ho said in the
same connection that ho did not derive any
profit from hia interest in the lease.
The testimony ot Governor Colquitt,
Governor Smith, Col. Lockett, Mr. Lowe
and ('apt. Nelms, delivered under oath be
fore legislative commitlees and the conrtsof
the State, connect him for a period of over
three years with the lease, and proves be
yond question that he received large
from hia interest in the
same. In fact, so far as we
have been able to learn, thera is no ovidence,
except General Gordon’s unsupported state
ment, that he has ever disposed of his in-

resolved to attack me before yon even al
lowed your readers to examine into my
statements, which yon denominate slander.
You make an unqualified charge, and if
yon aro correct I should be punishable un
der the law. If you are not correct you
have slander, d me. I demand a hearing in
the same columns in which the stuck ap
peared. The issue is now between you and
myself. General Gordon ha* deliberately
ignored the plain, unvarnished charges
against hia political character. He
endeavors to silence criticism by call
ing them slanders, although he knows
he cannot answer and confesses guilt by
silence. But it is different with yon. Yon
and I are responsible to the public, and if
yon have spoken the truth I deserve con
demnation. If I bave spoken the troth
, on owe me proper amends. I have no
l t ar of the result, and yon cannot deprive
me of a hearing in your columns without
Discing yourself in the attitude of A -malic,

such injustice must recoil.

ged his name into this canvass when he is
not alive to reply for himself. My news
paper controversy with Mr. Hill was settled
op in his lifetime; I suppose satisfactorily
to himself, as he made no reply to my Inst
letter on the subject. Y'on are incorrect in
.yin;' l assaulted ldm when he waa sick,
have Sir. Grady’s interview with Sir.
Hill before me, in which he is
authorized to say for Sir. Hill that he
was in the finest health and spiriU, and
determined to attack me all over Georgia

defended myself promptly from the assault
which Hon. A. H. Stephens denominated
aa a moat unwise and nnjust charge. These
aro facts, aDd it is late in the day for yon
to rise np and defend Sir. Hill, where he
declined to defend himself either in person
or by proxy.
Y’on ore incorrect in saying 1 pursued his
food name with hatred or revenge. SVhen
Iris son, Charles Hill, was a candidate be
fore the Legislature for his present office,
my vote and influence would have defeated
him, yet I cast it for him. His brother
thanked me on the spot, and gave expres
sion to some kind feelings unnecessary to
mention.
Remember Sir. Hill is dead. General
Gordon used his monument and the exer
cises at which Sir. Davis waa present for an
unholy purpose, and I am well enongh
acquainted with Sir. Hill's opinion of Gen
eral Gordon, in years gone by, to say he
would have been as indignant at the effort
of General Gordon as was Sir. Dnvia when
be became fully acquainted with the
methods employed l>y General Gordon's
friends in this campaign, when he was in
formed of their extent and the purpose for
which his visit to Georgia was used by
them. Nothing escapes General Gordon,
however. He appeared as chief mourner
at Mr. Stephens a funeral, when the Utter
wrote os late as September, 1880, that Gen
eral Gordon waa "hollow hearted, deceitful,
unprincipled, dishonorable and unrltUable
in every way.” I have the letter.
IIo appeared at General Grant's funeral
as chief mourner, with the infamous Bel
mont coal mine swindle atill hanging over
him and a matter of open discussion in
the courts of Now York city. You cannot
wonder, then, that he U now ready to ride
into some office on Sir. Bill's fame, al-
thongh Sir. Hill himaelf informed me of
the alanderona letters on hia privato char
acter written 1>y General Gordon to mem
ber* of the Legislature to defeat Mr. Hill
for the Senate. Mr. Grady has not forgot
ten hia own denunciation of Oeneral Gor
don upon thia matter, which occurred in
Washington directly after Mr. Hill's elec
tion, and which words were noted, at the
time, by other pentona as well as myself.
When you go behind dead men to nttack
mo, I can give you a Boland for overy Oli
ver, hut yon shall always be the first to in
augurate such a fight, and I charge you
again to remember, that Mr. Hill is
dead.
SOW rOR OEXKRAl. GORDON.
Aa to General Gordon, I bave made no
sUtement without the proof. That yon
may be able to defend him if you can, since
he fails to defend himaelf, 1 will restate
the charges here, and nnleaa you can aue-
ccssfully refute them, you will stand con

a hill into the Forty-fourth Congress on the
12th of January, 1877, to antagonize the
Tharman funding bill, which bill he advo

that bill introduced bjr Gordon "onr bill,
and wrote to Colton, lria California partner,
that he could pass that bill with $2UO,OUO.

He wrote to Colton two davs after the
Forty-fifth Congress convened, on March
7tb, 1877, that hia bill waa in better shape
to pass than ever before, as he stayed two
days in Washington fixing np the Senate
committee on railroads. On the 10th of
March he wrote to Colton that “Tom Scott
