disturbs him. And he has a kind OF
mania tor abusing his betters, and this |
foul effluvin that he emits is his only |
weapon of offense and defense, and it l.
natural tor him to use it on all occasions.
He tell out with me ESQ l have been
told, for have no personal or speaking
acquaintance with him. because some
one told him that said in the Grange
las reasons why he was not eligible Tor
membership that he was not ldentiiied
| with us in interest, taste or ASSOCIATION,
that he was politician, a pettiioSger, a
blackboard and 4 drunkard, and caused
him to get eight black-balls. 1t is
strange that should have SO much in
fluence in community where he Is 50
well known. He says that he got his IN
| formation from truthful and honorable
men. No doubt of it. though there Is
one thing certain-if they told him that,
they either lied or perjured themselves,
or both. It's nv honest opinion they
did little of both SO every one can
see a. a glance what kind OF material
this little ring is using against me. II,
after A residence of thirty-one years in
the vicinity of Savannah, | have not
gained a character that will stand good
with those that are Immediately ac-
ouainted with me against such foul
mouthed liar and slanderer as Sanders
is proving himself to be, will go and
hang myself. But even II the ring
should succeed in making the people
believe | am what they represent, how
will it help them any? They have not
been able to deny the truth Of ANYTHING
have written. They can not. There
are too many besides myself knowing
TO the facts, and il it was not true they
would have proven it long ago.
But IN ius,ice to some that are on the
Pennies ticket, | will say that am sat
istird that Il part of them are innocent OF
usinr any unialrneSs to procure ther
nomination. and Of this numoef 1 pe-
lieve Rankin is one. They were put on
for the strength they would add to the
little ring.
