Mb. San’l Shepard :
- FiDisurJliri Permit - me to thank you I
for advising.me to take HILL’S HEP
ATIC PANACEA. I
been received and road
' ll. W. G. » your
dent, says it was sent
' n and
interview docs
me in any
ed with Mr., Hill’s past ,
not be astonished at anythin;
■nay do in politics and
wiili .a malign purpose he always
makes loud professions of friendship
amf you can measure his'malignity
by his hypocrisy.
Mr. Hill was a college mate of
mine. The friendship then formed
has been to inc someiliing stronger
than political differences or party
alliauces; I have seen many things
iu his erratic public course that 1
was obliged to disapprove, but
.while claiming to be his friend,
was enough of a gentleman to say it
to his face and iu private. As Burke
said to Fox, “our friendship is at an
end.” -
I propose to deal with him as
should do with any other public
luan, and judge him by his record,
which I know to he as eccentric, a-
unwise, as unpatriotic, and too often
as seemingly corrupt as that of any
other politician whose evil counsels
have assisted to blight the interests
of the'State which gave him birth.
The public will bear me witness
that this controversy with Mr. Hill
was not of my seeking.
I am a freeman, and a plain citi
zen of Georgia—a man who is proud
to know he lias always paid his
debts, and endeavored to protect his
public and private character from
any imputation of corruption or dis
honesty. I challenge records, with
even Senator Hill in any and every
-tation in life, and shaljbe satisfied
witlf.the verdict of the public oir the
“honesty” issue. His lofty assurance
in stating to your reporter that J
was “honest when I started out,’
therefore, provokes a smile. I defy
him or any other man in Georgia,
or out of it, to prove dishonesty
upon my public and private reputa
tion. If he can furnish any proof,
I demahdits appearance at once.- It
strikes me he would be tho lost man
to charge snch an imputation as ihe
one above quoted, if he could be
made to see himself as others sec
hitn.
Futherinorc, if he or any other
man affirms that au “ultimatum,”'
requiring ;mc to join the Repub
lican party, was presented to me by
President Arthur, or by any other
person whomsoever; or that I have
ever accepted sucli an “ultimatum,”
I pronounce the assertion a most un
qualified falsehood, originating in
hale and malignancy.
I ani now what I have been for
years, an Independent in politics,
and I am happy to know that no
ring-master’s caucus ever compelled
any man to vote’ fori me against his'
will, nor did I ever go into a con
vention, and, when they refused to
nominate ine,weut before the peo
ple to be elected by “Radical” and
Independent votes, as did Mr. UiJJ
at Gainesville. lie raised no “hue
and cry” at that time about “Afri
canizing Georgia.” He was glad to
get every “African’s” vote and now
returns them railing and abase for
their misplaced confidence in his
“honesty.”
His record before the war, during
the war, and after the close of the
war, is too well known to the peo
ple of Georgia to recapitulate here.
He was known to be all things to all
men, always distinguished for vio
lence and animosity.
In the matter of Democracy I can:
safely compare records with the gen
tleman, and if mine does not stand
the test better than his own, neither
deserve a place in the Democratic
party. At the famous Delano ban
quet”, he frankly stated “if he was a
Democrat, he never intended to be,”
rand his course since that time, gives
unmistakable evidence that he ac
cidentally spoke the truth. ,
As late as the year 1877 he was an
outspoken friend oflir. Hayes, an
out-and-out Republican President.
In his famous address to the people
of Georgia, he says: “I was anx
ious to support the present FedcYal
Administration” He urged, the
citizens of Georgia to accept office
from him; and no word of complaint
heard until the Senator tailed to
prevail on the President to bestow
the patronage according to his dic
tation. Then he became as blatant
and abusive as he was to Governor
Colquitt about the “Mnrphy fee.”
Since that time he hag mug all the
changes upon the Federal appoint
ments in. the Louisiana. Custom
House, which might have been lau
dations instead, if President Hayes
had been willing to obey the behests
of the Senator.
His attack on Governor Colquitt
is better understood now than when
he issued that famous address. I
have before me at this writing, also
the equally famous interview in the
Baltimore Gazette iu which he uses
these words about the Governor:
“I do admit it was corruption, and
no instance of that class of corruption
was ever more clearly proved, or
more distinctly marked or more
feebly excused.” The offense to the
Senator as it tnrned out, did not lie
in the fact, that the Governor signed
the bonds, for this eloquent lawyer
had orged him to do so. Neither
did it lie in the fact,4hat the Gov
ernor knew a fee was to be paid,
when he did sign the bonds, for
Senator Hill produced a letter of his '
own in evidence, in which he re
proached his excellency for not in
forming him of the fact,
to request; but the crowning
—*•—proof of the corruj-”'
his own failure to
$7,000—and the preference display
ed by the Governor for tho legal
ability of Mr. Murphv, rather turn
that of Mr. Hill. It will

As to the rest of ids tirade aginsl
mvsclf, I snap my finger in the face of
it. Georgia has heard this same twad
dle until it has become an old song.
Any specific charge n pou my charac
ter I shall notice, but he may howl
himself hoarse against the indepen
dent aud tiieir party in Georgia. A
Virginian—a democrat—told me a
few'weeks’ago: “Ben Hill’s tom
foolery and mania to hear himself
talk lias lost that state to the demo
cratic party.”
I believe' with him, any party will
thrive on his abase, and I hope ho
will Jo all he threatens to do, for
many people are getting restive
under his political assnmaey and
hotirbon buffoonery.
When this presuming leader dares
to charge me with trying to “Afri
canize Ihe-state,” because I claim for
qyery man, while and colored, the
right to vote a free ticket and to
have that vote counted—because I
claim the right of every child to a
plain English education, at the ex
pense of the stale and federal
government—because I claim pro
tection for the poor wretched crea
tures, who am; by the multitude,
being pushed into the convict comps
of the scnator%. political allis—tho
people will begin to understand the
true in warducss of the bourbon
snromacy in Georgia. I hope every
poor man—while and colored, the
mechanic, the day-laborer—tho men
of sweat and toil, may bear this
political autocrat as he cracks his
lash over
to be thei
advocate.

I am sorry for Mr. Hill. Blessed
with most wonderful gifts of ora
tory, he has fritted Away the grand
est opportunities a public man ever
had. Tho embodiment’Af self-con
ceit, forever absorbed in contempla
tion of hi3 imaginary greatness, he
has actually done nothing for his
state or country that will live in the
memory of the true, the good and
the patriotic.
In conclusion, Messrs. Editors, I
am more than ever convinced that
a man shonld be independent in
politics, which I shall continne to
be to the close of my life.
If Mr. Hill is to be the leader of
the opposition, and this exhibition
of uncalled-for fory and malice is to
be received as the spirit of the party,
I think I am safe in predicting there
will be thousands of recruits to the
independent camp. Honest men of
all partes will refuse to sacrifice their
self-respect to perpetuate such
leadership. Very respectfnHy,
