Card.

During the heated tax fight in 1888,
Hopkinsville abused me roundly, and
I abused Hopkinsville back to the best
of my ability. When it was threat
ened to burn me in effigy, I threatened
to divide the county upon the line Of
Seventh street. When it was threat
ened to send money into my district
to beat me with old Zeke Elgin, |
threatened to start scheme to tax
the county four hundred thousand
dollars to furnish homes to heads OF
families who had no homes, to see if
men would be willing to vote as much
money to the poor, as they were will
ing TO vote to rich railroads. When
Hopkinsville newspapers denounced
me as moss-back, boss high kicker,
etc., / did threaten to smash up Hop
kinsville generally. These things
were not said snealsingly nor secretly,
but openly, and do not know that ]
have any apologies to make for them,
only they sound more foolish now on
both sides than they did then.
But when the angry feelings on
both sides had subsidized, ! shook
hands with my friends, shipped my
tobacco to Hopkinsville, as | had al
ways done, and did my dealings in
Hopkinsville according to custom. |
knew that her prosperity depended
upon her retail trade which would be
affected more or less by the good will
of her county neighbors, and upon
her schools, to the excellence Of which
/ could testify, and | actually preached
the doctrine of Cancellation. Besides
there were so many friends and good
fellows with whom / had been asso-
ciated in political contests and in so
cial entertainments both at Their
homes and at my own, that il was moi
possible for me to retain malice against
the old town; and know there are
many true and sensible men in her
limits who will discountenance any at
tempt to revive the animosities Of the
past, by the reproduction Of canvass
absurdities and canvass extravagances
