New national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1870-1874, 1874-10-15

ana the whole was COPIED OIL by my self Tor
publication. The part of the protest in rea-
ton to nominating Mr.. jesse Wimberly and
run him for Congress, with or without his con-
sent, was drawn up and added to the protest
by Mr.. Wimberly himself. There was no
motion for committee to be appointed to
wait on Mr.. Wimberly AID inform him of his
nomination, and no sucha committee was APP
pointed; that-p art-a also was drawn up and
added to the protest by Mr.. Wimberly, for
he was present all the time aud conducted
the whole thing. Mr.. d. II. Spcaring did not
sign the protest and said that he would have
nothing to do with it, as he did not see any
money. He, (Spearing,) said that Wimberly
had to furnish money before he would have
any thing to do with it. After copied it off
| handed it to Hon. 4. G. Campbell, Sr. On
the evening before it was handed in for pub
LEGATION l erased my name of. I signed the
protest for Burke and Emanuel counties by
their orders; signed for Liberty county by
orders Of T. G. Campbell, ST.. he, Camp
bel, ~ signed for Mcintosh county; Mr.. II. C..
Turner's name, of Ware county, was signed

berly. advocated for MI. Wimherly until
saw that he was leaning co the democratic
party; and when he resigned hi, position in
the cnstom-house, paying linn one hundred
and twenty dollars per n,.alh, and seeing
him constantly in consultation with leading
Democrats, l commenced studying and after
he told me that the Demo Gratis wanted split
in the Republican party, and that he could
get any amount of money that he wanted to
carry it through, and that he had rather see
Democrat IN Congress than Col. Bryant,
and after Campbell said he did not care if it
is split, and that he did not care if Re.
publican did not get elected, 1 then said t.
myself that this will not do. then say
plainly that Jesse Wimberly and T. g. Camp
bell was going to split the Republican party,
and by their action that they intended to do
so, knowing that was too true RepuLl-
can. then considered the whole matter
over. gave it my serious thoughts. looked
at the condition of my peol ,s.nd saw that
the action of Wimberly and Campbell would
ruin the party, and especially the colored
people. Knowing that the eolored people
would be the only ones that would suffer by
a Democrat being elected, then ceased to
advocate Mr.. Winberly any longer. For the
unity Of the party exposed their rascalty,
and it is for that reason why issued the fol-
lowing affidavts
August 90, 1874.
T. &. Campbell, ST., got provisions to the
amount Of fifty dollars or more at Claghorn
y Cunningham's, and he told me that
went his security for the payment. He said
Jessie Wimberly got the provisions for him
and - - endorsed the note for the pay
ment.
Jesse Wimbcrly says he would rather see a
man like Stephen A. Corker in Congress than
Bryant. That the DemocratSsH ant to split
the Republican party in the Dists.t, and he
can get any amour: of money ha wants, if il
is $4,000, to carry it through. T. G. Camp
bell, Sr., says he don't care if it is split
he did not care if Republican did not get
elected; that he intends to let them see that
they can't have their way in everything.
He does not care where the money comes
from so he gets it; the money is all he wants.
Ali he wants is to hear from Wimbery,
and if Wimbcrly can't raise the stakes he
knows where he can 90 and get the money.
Wimberly has now gone to Burke county
after money.
Campbell says the only thing he fears is
that he has so often spoken to the people of
the district against splitting the party, he
breads they will not follow him.
