TftflWH ”
"You are mistaken,” aaid Mr. Hill.
"You did help carry tha election, but that
ns comparatively eaay work. Every elec
tion in Georgia under reooaatruotion baa
really gone De moo ratio. Tbe great point
ns to hold the Legislature after eleoting
k. This was the hard task I undertook,
ia! in it 1 received no help either from
ay friends or anybody else, and muob
state frosa you and nearly everybody
aha. True, the Badieals bad paeited a bill
iipreariy tq enable them to oarry the elec-
ttoo. But they,'as I had reason to know,
kd determined, if they failed to Meet a
Legislature, to make up one, as they did
la 1870, by turning out elected Democrats
ud putting in defeated Badieals. This
(Sort was made. I was up to the hilt in
that fight. Grant refused to interfere and
tha .Sort failed. Evan Bullock then aban
doned it. This is tbe debt we owe Presi-
dint Grant.”
Mr. Hill then proceeded with a state
nut of facta on this subject, to which
tha whole meeting listened with the oloe-
ait attention. He eaid he examined care
fully tha sources of Badioal power in
Georgia. They ware two—“internal
robberiu and external Federal protec
tion." Tha revanoas from their robberiu
vara derived from the State Boad, and
their issue of bonds and thair hypothec -
flu in New York and elsewhere. The
fused* waa to gat the State Boad out of
thair hands, and prevent another reoon-
■trootion of the Legislature, and thus atop
the issue of bonds. The only way to pre-
edit the reconstruction of tha Legislators
via to avoid interference by the Federal
administration. How waa this to ba
done? Here was the greateat problem.
To Its eolation, both honorably and ef
fectually, be gave all hla thoughts. Ha
tinted tha North twiee to acquaint him
self fully with the opinions, pnrposu and
tendencies of tha Deuiooratio party. By
these means ha fully satisfied himself in
1870 as to what would be the Democratic
platform in 1873—that tbs Dsmoorats of
tho North would aubmit to any usurpation
committed under tha forma of law. If
the South resisted, the Democrats would
whip us into submission. It wu our bus
iness, then, to take care of ourselves and
ntbmit to what we did not approve, and
?onld not resist. By taking that position
;e advance, when neither party expected
•t, he might for a time be misunderstood
by Us friends, but ba would get in a posi
tion to be heard by the Badioal anthoiities
at Washington, and thus defeat tbe oon-
fiaaauea of'Badioal domination in Geor
gia, and 1872 would place him; right with
Ua friends. Ha explained hid connection
