Ham. jwn>u«3 a aeuioqx •aoxvansNi am In Justice to Editor McNeiley. The following from Editor McNelley of the Lawreneeville News-Herald has been received by The Cracker and is published in justice to him. The edi torial referred to is left out because of its length, hut the readers of The Cracker are familiar with it as liberal extracts were made from it in our issue of April 30th. The following is Editor McNellev’s reply to Chairman Henley: Lawreneeville, Ga., Alay* 10, 1898. Mr. Editor: Inasmuch as Col. John W. Henley, Chairman of the Democratic Executive committee of this district, has seen proper to publish in your paper of last week his reply to an edi torial from the News-Herald of April 29th, I ask as an act of justice to my self that you give the full text of the editorial in question, together with a few brief remarks in defense thereof. The charges in the editorial are, that Col. Henley failed to notify Col. Brand, our committeeman, that a meeting was to be held. This charg-e is absolutely true, notwithstanding Col. Henley’s de nial. I have interviewed Col. Brand on the subject, and he is very positive that no such notice was ever received by him. And it now develops that Col. Dick Russell, the committeeman from Jackson, was also ignored; and when other counties are heard from offici ally it may be that they, too, were in blissful ignorance of Col. Henley’s con vocation of the committee, either on account of neglect or intentional over sight. I further charge Col. Henley with having departed from the time-honored custom of giving notice of the time and place of the committee meeting through the democratic press of the district, which charge is true. I defy him to produce a single paper published in any of the 17 counties of the district con taining an official notice that the com mittee was to meet. It will be observed that I do not charge him with neglecting the com mitteemen from other counties of the district save Gwinnett. It is especially manifest that Col. Henley did giye notice to some of the committeemen, especially to those from whom he held “proxies”. Now, the only charge remaining on which he assails me as being false is that he is “either a misfit as chairman of the committee or has allowed him self to be used in perpetrating a small piece of political trickery. ’ This charge I insist is literally true. He is a “misfit,” because he acts in his official capacity as chairman of the Democratic Executive committee on orders from Tate, whereas as the presiding officer he should be fair and impartial—as much so as the judge on the bench. The fact that he has sent his “reply” to every paper in the Ninth district favorable to Col. Tate, without giving the substance or the outline of my edi torial which he “replies” to is sufficient evidence that he is actually performing* the political trickery imputed to him by the News-Herald of the 29th of April. I have no desire to create strife in the democratic ranks, but when Col. Henley holds me up to the democrats of the district as having deliberately lied on him I insist that both sides of the controversy be given so that the people may judge the matter fairly and impar tially. I suspect that it is the truth con tained in my editorial that is hurting Col. Henley, and his quickened and guilty conscience has devised his plan of “reply” to counteract its effect, and to bolster up the failing fortunes of his chief. In conclusion, allow me to ask you, Col. Henley, if Congressman Tate was not present at Gainesville at your com mittee meeting, giving personal direc tion to you and other of his friends on the committee, having left his seat in congress at a critical juncture in the affairs of the nation, for this purpose? Had you been the fair-minded and impartial chairman that you claim to be, and should be, you would have re sented this breach of propriety and as sumption of authority on the part of your chief instead of rushing to his defense in your wide-spread “reply.” Five counties were unrepresented at your meeting, and as the committee men from Jackson and Gwinnett re ceived no notice of your intended meet ing, the question of veracity on the line of notification rests with you as tffiair- man and the U. S. mails. Milton, Daw son and Towns are yet to be heard from, but it is altogether probable that you also “forgot” to notify them, espec ially^ if they are against Col. Tate. I do not aspire to official position, but if I were chairman of the democratic party of the Ninth district I would wear no man’s collar and would be the ••Fido” of neither Tate or Thompson.
