Mr.. BarksdaIe's Letter.

WASHINGTON, GA, Sept 4, 1894.
A, A. Neal, Chairman (Populist Execu-
tive Committee)
Sir-I am in receipt of note dated
August 25th, 1924, signed A. A. Neal,
chairman, and certified to be true
copy by one r. T. Parsons, which was
handed me today by Mr.. J. NJ. Gilbert.
In reply beg to say that neither |
nor the democratic party have any
thing to do with the appointment of
election managers, that duty under
the law being imposed upon sworn
official Of the state who | presume
knows how to attend to his own busi-
ness.
The insinuations in your note seem
to me TO be unWarranted.
In the elections of '92 and January,
'93, the managers were all APP
pointed by a gentleman at
chat time recognized as the
head and front of the populist party of
the county, and he himself was one of
the managers ~ Washington at the
October election of '92, and expressed
himself openly and publicly as salts
fed that tine election was fair in all
respects The fact that your party
was defeated certainly cannot change
the nature of the election. Judge An
thony was in much better position
than YOU to know the truth, and am
content to let the matter stand on his
statement. Respectfully,
+. O. BARKsD ALE.

Mr.. Barksdale did not add that in
1892 the managers who consolidated
the election returns, Illegally threw
out about 700 populist votes-ayery

this locality cannot be controlled by
such contemplate methods employed
by the present democratic executive
committee. The circulars they are
scattering over the state are repudiated
by all honest men. But you know a

surely sinking and when she is no
more, few there will be to moan her

spring ON Love, Courtship and Mar
riage," and Who WAS feted aud lionized by
u certain element wherever no went, has
turned out to be hugo fake. Il appears
that no has been arrested in Rock county,

prison doors Of that county. He was

His address was faultless. his manners
superb, while his quiet dignity aud easy
grace impressed one with the belief tla D
his sincerity 10 the cause OF religion was
his most prominent characteristic. DUR
ing his two weeks stay In this city he WAS
given every privilege; was wined and
diued and generally made much of. To
those who accepted him as the genuine
Dr. Collycr, the news of his arrest will
prove severe blow and doubtless shatter
their faith in the representations Of the
countless travelling itinerants who como
west looking for suckers and usually ind
them. The bogus Collycr Is weil-knovn
