In bis “interview” bf iSfftrteh 22,
sninering my Thomson speech,
my opponent. lion. W. H. Flem
ing, hna seen lit to use some of the
harshest and bitterest language I
have ever’seen m print, even in n
heated partisan contest between
opposing candidates of different
political putties,'ftiueh less in a
contest between gentlemen who

exppctnlion ot provoking a per
sonal difficulty between us; tor it
must be remembered that, we wen
not face to face when the words
weie used, but a thousand miles
npnrt.
Bosides, although I ton n young
er, and loss “experienced” man

office to which I am a humble ns

7 . amdency of the
'
teat between ws.
Mv opponent takes occasion to
say in the opening of his “ inter
view” tHut I luve committed a
‘•falsification” of the Democratic
platform of J8: and observes
that so comidi!- ' was the proof
that I did not venture to enter u
denial. He is absolutely mistaken.
T did not bate before me at the
■
itme my “nnuonneemont was writ
ten a copy of that platform before
but undertook to quote itsub
stantiftilv, niul that I did. I
have been perfectly willing to
rest on Mr. Fleming’s statement
of the differences m the exact and
literal words between my quota
tion and tlio platform. I used
Very nearly, the words of the pint
fornii 8o »i*nrlt its exafet words
that I felt lt» if I would have lieen
guilty of plngoriam if I had not
out quotation m a ms around thorn
i’he deduction I drew from the
platform, and the id end expressed
was the logical, indeed the inevi
table, conclusion from it. In lus
“rejoinder” he quotes the exact
words of the plntfoim, but he was
thtn “charitable" enough not to
barge me with intentional mis
quotation, and as the words I used
express the same idea as those
used in the party platform, 1 dis
missed them from nly mind, and
if my failure td refer to it in my
Thoiflsoti speech can be fairly
termed a confession of any sort,
then I wish to ask wh> he does not
stand before the people confessed
ly guilty of having dodged ovary
issue m this campaign, and of
having failed to express himselt
on every public question, for in
my reply to his announcement I
charged him with that, and in
none of his numerous “cards” and
“intei views” has he ever entered
a denial.
So far as intentional misquo
tation of the platform is concern
ed, the charge is absurdly child
ish, tor it certainly does look ns
if any sensible man would know
t hat I would not be guilty of that,
nnd then deliberately refer the
public and my opponent to the
source of the quotation, where
mistake, if nny , could be
ered’ Mr. Fleming lias simply
lost his temper, or ho would
use suck unjustifiable language.
In his interview he charges
with “intended deception,”
“falsification,” with
in that I charged that on a
tain occasion, according to the
Congressional Record, he had been
greeted with “derisive laughter”
from his party associates, the
slomocrats in Congress. If thin
charge ib true 1 do not deserve

the respect, of a sinale honest vo

above, to the audience, the gentle*
man who is the Court Reporter of

1 regret the unexpected and
painful'amount of bitterness that
Mr, Floming has seen proper to
mject, into this canvass, which
ougfyt to be oouducttbt on the lines
of a friendly contest between two
geiitloinoa. I am no oyengel of dis
ooi'd—-no child of bitterness; it ie u.y
purpose and desire to encourage and
promote good will, harmony and recon
ciliation, rather than diesoulion and
bitterness.
lu its report of my Thomson speech
the “A-wgusU Ohroniole,” tlie leading
organ of my opponent, a paper pub
liHivod in his owa city', and giving him
its hearty support, a paper in which
he is financially interested, certainly
a stockholder, and, 1 think, a direc
tor, admits that 1 “indulged in no per
sonalities,” again it says ‘ Mr. Hard
wick went into Mr. Fleming’s record
in Congress iujin dignified, hut none
the less forceful maimer.
l so'eimily call on every fair-minded
man in the district to boar witness
that I hnve sought to con tact a cfeau
campaign without-abuse of my oppo
neut, without mentioning hia name in
iny announcement, bat thrt Mr. Flem
ing has injected into it a \vorlu of bit
teiuess and hard foaling, uncalled for
and inexpticablo to mtf, for I am con
Boifentinuslv guilty of no other offense
savo that of having dared to aspire to
what I fear Mr. Fleming has come to
regard as Ulan office.”
