Gainksviulk, Ga., April 27, 1898,
Hon. F. C. Tate,
Washington, D. C.:
Dear Sir: I had hoped that during
our canvass for the Democratic nomina
tion honorable means only, would In-
employed. but froth the following letter
you have sent out to people in White
county, which is only one of many
which you have circulated, I am con
vinced that my dream has been dis
pelled’
House of Representatives, U. S.,
Washington, D. C., April 8, 1S9S—Mr.
', Parks, Ga. (.Personal)—Dear
Friend: I bad hoped to be at your court
next week, but with war staring this
country in the face I cannot leave ray
post of duty for the purpose of advanc
ing my r own political interest; there-’
fore tied down here as I am, I must rely
upon you and my other friends to take
care of lpy interests. I have at all
times kept my promises and endeavored
honestly and faithfully to discharge ray
duty, and I am sure that you will agree
with me that no fair or truthful man
will assert that I have not done so.
Every scheme and plan known to the
slick politician will be resorted to for
the purpose of prejudicing the people
against me. As I can’t be present, 1 ask
that you look after my interest and see
to it that I am not misrepresented. 1
understand that Air. Thompson claims
I that lie has done roe great service in
J my. political campaigns. This is un
true, as eyer-v Democrat in the district,
is aware. You know he never made a
Democratic speech or helped the Demo
crats in any campaign in your county.
I do not suppose you can find a voter in
your county that Mr. Thompson ever
asked, either private or on the stump,
to vote for me or any other Democrat,
and how he can. so fur forget the truth
as to stand up in the very face of men
like you who have worked for me and
claim the credit for what you and my
other friends have done for me I can’t
understand.
In reply to Mr, Thomosoti’s attacks
on me, I desire to say, that there is
nothing which he.now says against me
that he did not know at the time when
he claims that he alone elected me—
the only difference being, at that time
he was not himself a candidate for Con
gress; therefore his own criticisms of
me show that he either deceiyed and
misled the people by not telling them
what he knew against me when he was
not a candidate, or there is no truth in
what he says about me now, and be can
take his choice of positions and by J
either he condemns himself.
Mr. Thompson should at least be j
truthful and fair. I have done more j
for him and his brother-in-law, Sain
Dunlap, as you are aware, than for any
other two men in the district, and they
seem to appreciate it less.
Hoping to hear from you soon, and
assuring you of my appreciation of
your lo^rnl friendship, I am,
Your friend, F. C. Tate.
1st. You claim “that with war star
ing this country in the face you could
not leave your post of duty,” etc, yet on
the 17th of March, last, the day before
the committee met in Atlanta to ar
range for a joint discussion between
us, you were on hand “to advance your
political interest” and advise your
friends on the committee, and again
when the executive committee of this
district met here on the 22d instant for
the purpose of calling a convention to
nominate a candidate for Congress and
arrange the preliminaries therefor, you
left your “post of duty,” although war
was actually cm.and is now officially de
clared to have begun on the 21st. "to
advance your political interest,” and
were on hand to advise with your
friends for that purpose.
You say “that every scheme and plan
known to the slick politician wiil be re
sorted to for the purpose prejudicing
the people against” you. The whole
context of the letter shows that this
charge Is intended for me. I defy you
to produce a single letter that I have
written, personal or otherwise, that
will in any way prove this assertion.

SPECIAL, SALE OF
Ladies’ Shirt Waists.
There is nothing but high-class Garments
here. The celebrated “Stanley” Waist, made by
V. Henry Rothschild, is known to almost every
lady in the land. Wo think it as much our duty
to price our goods fairly as to be fair in quality
and reliable dealings. We are not speculating—
price is a matter of computation from fixed facts.
That is why you can get such Garments as these
at such prices. You would gladly pay more in
many cases if you were asked to do so.
50 CENTS
Gets choice of a large assortment of colorings in
regular DOLLAR quality, made of-fine Organdies
and Lawns.
75 CENTS
Gets choice of a handsomer line of the $1.25
quality made of fine madras and organdie.
If you will examine them you will appre
ciate them.
SPECIAL, SALE OF
Men’s Shirts, Collars and Culls.
When the season has just begun and buying
is at its height, it may seem unwise to lower
prices. Now, if ever* is the time for profit.
We, however, prefer to maintain our motto,
“Quick Sales,” and in order to close out quickly
the remainder of our exceedingly heavy' early’ pur
chase of Shirts, we offer
AT 50 CENTS

Cuffs; large assortment colors; fine Percales,
worth $1.00 everywhere.
About 50 dozen soft bosom, white neck and
cuff band, handsomest line of patterns in the
State, and not to be had anywhere for less than $1.

failed to arrange a joint discussion be
tween us, I neyer uttered y r our name,
and since that time I have assaulted
you only in the open, and if I have done
you an injustice I hope you will meet
me face to face in the three discussions
arranged by the Democratic executive
committee of Habersham county and
prove it. Don’t now stab me in the
back under the guise of personal letters.
If I cannot prove all 1 have char ged
against you when in your presence I
will take pleasure in withdrawing
them
3d. Ypu say further, “I understand
Mr. Thompson claims that he has done
me great seryice in my political cam
paigns; this is untrue as every Demo
crat in the district is aware.” Had you
the proper appreciation of truth and
that, gratitude due a loy’al friend you
would not have written this. Tou
know, and so do the records show, that
I have been a member of t he Congress
ional campaign committee of this dis
trict and did all I could in your behalf
and in the last campaign in the conven
tion in this county' I tried to have dele
gates instructed for you by that meet
ing, notwithstanding the executive
committee of the county had named a
later date for the selection of delegates
to the Congressional convention, I did
this for you in spite of the following
letter from you:
Washington, June 3, 1896.
Dear Howard: I have done as you
suggested in reference to White and
Lumpkin. We can carry both of these
county. Look out for delegates to the
Stgte convention and see to it that our
friends are selected as delegates to the
convention. I don't see how you can
select a regular delegation from your
county on Saturday unless it is author
ized by your executive committee. The
trouble is the delegates to the county'
convention were not selected for this
purpose, or in the original call there
was no authority given the county con
vention to select delegates to the
congressional convention. We have got
them beat; don't give them any just
ground to kick.
Your friend. F. C. Tate.
I was actively aiding you in every
county in this judicial circuit in your
last canvass, and you aud thousands of
other Democrats of the district know
this to be true. You came to my house

committee of this district met, with S.
C. Dunlap, who held the proxy of Oliver
Wyly of Towns county', who is your
cousin, and earnestly begged me not to
go to White Superior court, which met
Monday morning thereafter, but re
main in Gainesville to be present at the
meeting of the committee, and to aid
yxra in devising way’s and means to de
feat Col. Perry. After full conference
it was agreed that I should go to White
court, as I could be of more service
there than at Gainesville, and I w'ent
and Dunlap remained, met with the ex
ecutive committee and aided you in
eyery way in his pow'er. In your other
two campaigns I was equally as active
for you.
4th. The charge that I never asked
a voter to vote for y'ou or any 01 her
Democrat, etc is equally as barren >f
truth.
3th. The charges I now make against,
you were. I confess, unknown to me in
y our previous canvasses, and the fact
that y r ou now' fail to speak of them, so
the people may know' what they' are,
shows that you think they cannot be
satisfactorily explained to an exacting
public, and if they' could your friends
on the joint committee to arrange for
our canvass would have been glad to
have you meet me.
6th. Again you say, “Mr. Thompson
should at least be truthfjil and fair. I
have done more for him and his broth
er-in-law, Sam Dunlap, than for any
two men in the district,” etc. In the
face of the record, you again deceive
yourself. You know that the first time
I ran for solicitor-general of this cir
cuit, in 1882, you were a member of the
legislature and promised to vote for me,
and had you kept your word 1 w'ould
have been elected, as I was only defeat
ed by one vote, and your vote for me
would have changed the result. In
1886 I was again a candidate for the
same office and you voted against me
but I was elected. In my last election,
at my request you v/ere neutral. These
are the only raees I ever made w'hen I
had opposition. Now in what w'ay have
you ever helped me ?
On the question of gratitude and ver
acity I let the record speak for itself,
and upon it I am willing to stand or
fall. I am not engaged in the building
of my political fortunes and stabbing
an opponent in the back under the guise
of personal letters at the expense of the
truth.
Very truly yours.
How \ Thompson.

acquitted themselves nicely.
