PROOF OF THE "PRETENDED FACTS"
So much for your triumphant escape from
January into February. Now about Wad-
delFs pretended facts" Your cool, DELHI
crate, crushing reply, "YOur facts,
SIR are pretended facts" and
SAID. too, without the slightest
regard Tor consequences, and without any
Visible congestion Of your cheeks-well, no
course, knew what the real facts wero, and
that was su Efficient. Still, your situation may
not ne as well known by others, and, that full
justice may be done you, will now supply
some written evidence for your benedt.
Should anybody dare to say ''w-O-o January"
TO you, draw these papers on him and read
them. lou will find them settlers-regular
posers--a superb finish OF your defense. hold
both papers subject to your order whenever
you need them. The card given below has
quite history, which am sure will arrest

call. 1t reads:
Mr.. u. r. Dart:

Navy. southwest corner of house,
tindorsed on card): This card lay in the
hotel from Jan. 25 to Jan. 81.
"H. T. WHEELER"
Mr.. Wheeler IS hotel office clerk Those five
days are part Of the time, Waddell says, you
were ignoring me, and playing Representa-
tive from the First Georgia district. The
other paper for you TO answer Waddell's
"pretended facts with is this: 1--WE, the sub
com mittee of the Committee on Public Build
lngs and Grounds, having IN charge bills Of
the state of Georgia, at the request of Mr.. T.
NJ Norwood. appointed day for him and Mr..
part OF BRUNSWICK, Ga, to be heard on tho
Dill introduced by Mr.. Norwood for q public
building at Brunswick. Mr.. Norwood an
peared at the hour. and argued the question
Dart did not appear. The next day
Mr.. Norwood made a special request
OF us to assemble again that day,
that Mr.. Dart might be heard, which. at some
Inconvenience, we agreed to do. Mr.. Dart
ana Mr.. Norwood appeared that day and both
were heard. Mr.. Norwood was as dilgent
and active about the Brunswick bill as he was
for the savannah bill for a public building.

That, you see, is n double barrel letter. One
barrel slavs Waddell and his "pretended
facts" and the other Kills the Representa-
tive from the First district" for it proves how
strictly tru hful you were when You returned
TO Brunswick and swore las the lion and the
unicorn foughC) ''all around the tlwn" that
the Representative was fraud; that he
would not assist you TO get before the COM
mittee; that you had to do all the work your
self; that he was the enemy of Brunswick,
aud was working his best against Brunswick
and for Savannah.
DART AS A DIPLOMAT.
You notice that have quoted several times
the words, "a sort Of" am indebted to you
for 1t, and wish to make public Acknowledge
ment of my sense of obligation. You used it
as descriptive Of the bill had introduced for
a public bui ding at Brunswick ] cherish It

FURTHER PROOF OF "PRETENDED
FACTS"
But | must not digress. | was supplying
you with written proof to meet Waddelps
pretended facts, and mere ia another letter
which procured for your especial benefit:
"WAsHINGToN, ID. c., July Z. 1886.
"DEAR SIR--I remember well that you came
to me, as Chairman OF the II use Committee
on Rivers and Harbors. AMI requested that
day and hour be fixed for the committee to
he IF a delegation fr I'M Brunswick. Ga, on the
harb of Brunswick. | agreed. and you in
troduced the delegation of Day, Dunn and
Dart on the day fixed.
The delegation made their presentation of
Brunswick's needs. but It had no effect what
ever in inducing an increase of approx" iati0n.
-FOUR presentation of Brunswick's require
de-ired. j stated to you at that
time that the appearance OF the delegation
was unnecessary and had no effect. 1t would
be exceedingly unfair and unjust to you to
charge upon you the failure to appropriate a
larger sum for Brunswick. You were con-
slant and urgent in pressing the claims of
that harbor upon the attention OF our com
mittee. and che amount allowed was due to
your efforts. A dozen delegations would not
have increased the amount. Very truly yours,

TWO APPROPRIATIONS FOR BRUNSWICK.
It appears from Mr.. Willis letter that
Brunswick got two big appropriations last
session. He says the amount obia ine (S22-
600 was due TO my efforts. But you. through
your great Influence over committees" got
u big appropriation, as you told the people OF
Brunswick. What has become Of yours, aud
what is the amount? IOu ought to 90 to
WASHINGTON (you don't mind going there) ard
look after 1t. There is no reason for wonder
that brunswick got two big amounts. The
First Georgia district had the advantage OF
all others. 1t had two RepresentatIves-you
and myself. You were member de jure aud
!, de facto, that II, you were a member ''of
right" by reason OF your supreme quaiihca-
lions, wonderful influence over com m ittees
heads Of departments" etc, and / q member
in fact. or holding the place without right;
just dry so!
