The otticer was suspended owing to
a complaint filed against him by A.

Mr. Traylor claims that a few nights

The following day the case was ro

suspended.
Officer Gregory, howevet, tells sorne

hat Mr. Traylor called up and asked
t the mounted men were around the
arracks, sta’ing that someone was
msturbing him. The officer in the hole
replied that he did not know where
the mounted men were, lmt would
send them out as soon as they report

midnight, when Officer Gregory told

of the case until the following night
when Officer Gregory appeared at the

limply inquire' if the mounted police

The case will probably come up at

Well Known Savanift* Man Repliei to Card Pub
lished Last Week By Senator West
Savannah. Feh. 18.—Col. \V. Os
home today issued the following card:
Bill Wes 's letter
i . all plain In mo
Jjpretoiore 1 confess 1
l een somewhat puzzled.
I now understand that Bill’s seem
ingly qu%T conduct has been really
y my olliciousness. It
appears llwas too zealous In Bill's in-
and in order to check me lie 1
found it necessary to adiu'nister a'
stinging, this is !
tow made very I y things
l do not understand are.
t. Why tlit, rebuke came via Atlan
ta
2. Why the rdbuke came concur
rently with Steed’s retirement, and
3. Why Bill waited until after Steed
was beaten before lie found his voice
l suppose Bill has some explanation
ol this and intends to give it to the
public later on.
1 am sorry, i have been very stu
pid. I can do nothing save plead my
•tense ignorance in my defense and
ueg Bill’s ten thousand pardons. 1
am sure I did not mean Lo be any
more eager or more zealous in Bills
interest than the exigencies 01. his cam
i-aign demanded.
Wrote West Frequently.
Iloally, 1 was not pleased with the
ask assigned me. It has not been
he least bit agreeable. 1 would have
gladly stopi| sooner if Bill had just
given me the word, 1 musl affirm
however, in my own defense, that
though opportunity was offered him
while the controversy was raging, Bill
did not, once even whisper his dis
pleasure at lit - cotirst; I was pursuing.
You see tit’s strenuous controversy
oas been going on for two months.
1C very man. woman and child m Geor
gia, from Judge Johnson to Sidney
Tapp's office hoy, knows my articles
were written solely in West’s Interests
it was generally and openly charged
that John Rennet and I were West’s
campaign managers. In addition
thereto, i have been in .private cor
respondence with Wesl all I lie while,
in my private letters to him 1 begged
Bill not to hesitate to tell trie it' any
thing occurred to meet his disapproval
Not until Steed’s retirement did Bill
’chirp”- his displeasure.
Not being a miudreader, I could not.
possibly know my condemnation oi
the sale of jolitical influence met
1 ill’s disapproval. When I condemn
ed the practice of the maintenance by
the corporations of political agents at
enormous salaries for the sole purpose
cl' interfering with Ihe people’s legisla
tion, such a wave of approval went
t.p over Georgia I, for the time being
thought Bill was in touch with us.
I had no idea I had shocked and of
fended him.
West's Last Conference.
West’s last confereiee was held in
Atlanta Dee. 2. This was the confer
ence at which all of Wests’ friends
agreed that Steed had the fight whip
ped as it then stood. My letters ap
beared Dec. 18, Dec. 25 and Jan. 15.
Steed withdrew Jan. 23. On Jail. 2b
West stated that he "had not been the

GA, SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY,
recipient of my confidence” in the
controversy. .
It was true the letters were not
submitted to West before publication,
tut t am at a loss to understand how
'\csi plead ignorance of the
plan ot attack or deny he was
it my confidence, or deny he was hop
ing all the while to profit by the con
troversy.
West Forgets the Past.
In view ol these letters it does not
look like I withheld my confidence
,; om Bui, or that I was presmnptous
or that 1 at any time lost sight ot
the tact that l-.fi was running for .pres
blent ol the senate and 1 was only
1 elping him.
! What most Impressed me in Bill’s
Sunday letter is its exceedingly htgn
tc no. It is reaiiy lofty. From now on
says Bill, the campaign will be on a
very high plane. Bills’ brave and
fearless declaration against "factions,
c liques and combinations” is particu
larly forceful. Bill not recognizes the
t nice of president of the senate as a
high trust etc., etc.,
Hurrah I Hittrah! Glory be! 1 do
gels so oilhlseft over Bills high-sound
higii-piiMU' language. 1 almost
forgot the pas-1. From Bill's cards 1
em sure he must, be obvious of every
thing that happened prior to Steed s
surrender.
But lorgetfuiness will not come eith
er.. to Bill or to me. The very min
ute Bill mui i undertake to get on a
■ugh plane, some fellow comes along
and calls attention to the tact that
fill and 1 have b .on either "dealing’
oi trying to .“dajLr ever sjnee last
spring with urn*-* "faction, clique or
combination.” You seo just as Bln
and are willing to forget here comes
„iidge Hopkins asking some pertinent
questions tha' 1 think Bill should an
swer. because ho lives closer to tho
judge and knows more than 1 do.
Names Now Asked for.
If i understand correctly, Judge
l ioijking wants to know something of
the details of the "deal" of last spring
v.hon Judge rennet and I were duly
authorized to treat with the political
agents in Bill’s behalf.
Judge Hopkins wants specific infor
mal ion. ile desires to know by names
t.ml district the votes John Bennet
and I thought we had secured for Bill
\\ est through our dealings with the
corporation people. We, that is to say
Bill. John and 1, know all the details
Judge Hopkins is our mutual friend,
and lie wants tt> know also. In view
of the appeal Bill and I recently made
tr the public I think the people also
have some right to the knowledge.
Previous to Sunday I should have
felt it my dm - to answer Judge Hop
fins and tell him what he wishes to
mow. New. however, i have been
P- remptorily sal down. Bill has tak
en charge ol' his own campaign. He
must, do his own talking.
“Withdraw my Endorsement.’’
So you see ; have been as, loyal to
Pill as Bill has been to me, and ntj
loyalty lasted a week longer than did
Bill’s.

pride in this work is two flod for I am
a Daughter of the Confederacy as well
