Notwithstanding the fart that tha execO' five committee waa practically unanimous In Its decision, he single* oat three mem bers for ntlnrk. The Intimation Is that 1 aui In close alliance with railroad official*, and that na a railroad commissioner ol Georgia I am Influenced In favor of tho rail' roads as agnlnst tbe people. That state ment was made by lloke Smith deliber ately. maliciously and falsely, and he knew when he mad* It It we* false, lie knew that all my practice as a lawyer In itemege suits waa ngoinst tha rallroads-thougb I never hired bailiffs tojteenre cases forgne. The test case 1 tried before going on the commission was one In which 1 recovered a large verdict against a railroad.

Nobody te baiter lham Mr. Hoke Smith. u railroad cvi •anting the entire atate. he would not vote for the port rate, as asked by the city of Atlanta, unless he Is more regardless of his oath than I want to bellere him to be. Tbe Joblters of Atlanta at the ex pense of the shippers and the cltlxan, of Georgia, If It could be enforced Just on Mr. Smith wants It, but In Justice to the other people of Georgia outside of Atlanta the commission conld not conscientiously grant th* port rate. Bnt while criticising two memlier* of the commission, Hon. Joseph M. Hrown nnd myself, Mr, Smith takes oc casion tn praise (Ion. Fope Brown for vot ing for It. This port rate was twice before the commission, one* when he was not a candidate for governor and once when he wns. When be waa not n candidate be voted against It. and when he was n ran- dldnto he voted for It. When was he right? When Mr. Iloke Smith was not * randl- dole for governor I never heard of his In teresting himself much ee te port rates or any other rate* except when he waa paid to do so. He has bad to do with railroads when It was hla Interrat to do ao. They neyar failed to get him when they wanted him, and. Judging tbe present and future from tho peat, they would not now. nor hereafter. With elf of his boasted opposi tion to them, why an prominent rallroed men supporting him! It sounds very much tike the cry of "Stop thief!" In on* of hla speeches, made shortly af ter the meeting of the state Democratic ex ecutive committee, he said that I waa pres ent at a caucus In which were Hon. Ilnm- Uton McWhorter end Judge Enoch Calla way (either one of whom te Infinitely a better men than he Is), ndvocntlng a pro rating scheme to defect him Tor gorernor. He knew, or could have known upon te nuity, that that statement ateo was tela*. I not only did not advocate such a scheme, bnt was opposed to It. He knew that that statement Wee maliciously falae when bo uttered It, end If not, he wna criminally negligent In not knowing It He has done everything he conld to prejudice the people of Ueorgm ngalnat the Democratic execu tive, committee crested by a convention dMW ASMS for e ne x^ governor. He ’lantta*kteg"hteownparty leaders because they called a Democratic primary. Strange doctrine this for n Dem- io preach, and yet he hug* to hte 4 the chief opponent* of the Demo cratic party hecanae they are for him for governor. Why be has chosen to attack me 1 know »t. except that 1 prefer to vote for a bet ter men then be Is for governor. I bare remained silent under the continued and malicious charge made by Innendo by this designing nnd unacrupnlons demagogue, bnt 1 shall remain silent no louger. In hte tl- ' air* te become governor nearly. If not nil, the the last twenty yean. Men whose shoe latches he Is unworthy to loose ere not free from hie slanderous tongas. May the Lord have mercy upon hte malicious and hypocritlc eoal! II* Intimates that I am Influenced by the rallroeda. when he knows that then te not one word of truth In lb He knows end knew when he spoke In Attest*, end'else where. that my right years’ service In the stele legislature waa absolutely free from eorporate or other Influence*. I Invite an Inspection of that record, my record since, and every vole as rallroed commissioner, and It will be In accordance with the evi dence In each case. The flies of his own paper, Tbe Journal, white I wss a memlier of the legtatetnr# will corroborate my etate- tueut that all hte charges new made are Commenting on s speech I made In tbe house In favor of th* Ullve bUI. The Jour nal was eo flattering that modesty would prevent my repeating the comment. H« snows all this, aad yet he continues to wit fully lultnpreaenv me. Is It difficult to know the cause? He haa threatened. If elected gorernor, he would eee that the commission promulgated 1 rate, and otherwise declare hla rise be would suspend tbe cocamla- . - telling. No doubt ha thought be bad that power from the follow!ag words faced Is the act creating the railroad corn- "Any commtemotier may be na pe uacq rrom office by order of the gorer nor. who shall report tbe fact of suck ana peas!on. and tbe mean therefor to the next general emwmMr. and If a majority ace who might be guilty of •mproehablo conduct. It DOGS NOT moan, aa evidently Intended to be understood by Mr. Smith. that a commissioner niny ho suspended for exercUlng tho DISCRETION vested In him by tho legislature.

Suppose by noino chance he snould be elected czar of Georgia, and sop- poso he anould demand the port rato of the commission, when the commission thought In tho exercising of Its discretion tbe grant ing of it was not fair to tho entire ntnt», and suppose he «houbl come Into the offlie of the t-ommlfdfon nnd my "you must put In the port rote or I’ll suspend you, as owe or the ‘commission," I desire to say that hie departu: “* ----- from No with i || ....... lative department of the stnte.
