EDITOR STAR-.I wish through
your columns to reply to Mr..
Hughes, as he brings charge in
his letter to the Vindicator against
myself and others of throwing
mud in his face, yet it is strange
we never heard of Mr.. Hughes be-
ing Populite until the day of the
convention. 1t does seem to us
from reading Mr.. Hughes letter
that he acknowledges being Re-
publican in one sentence and de-
nies it in the next, for if he remem-
bers right didn't accuse anyone
of voting the negro in the primary
election, but some of the leading
Republicans, and he says in his
letter that he claims to be an hon
est, candid, -blooded Populite,
and if he is, l don't see what he
wanted the unregistered Republi-
cans to nominate him for. That
don't look much like white supre-
macy to me, but guilty conscience
needs no accuser, and if the cap
fits Mr.. Hughes he must wear it.
OF course, Webb, you don't want
to stoop to any personal contro-
verv, when yon use my name in
such an spicey way, We know
that your friends in the convention
said that you or some other Re.
publican must have the nomination
for sheriff in order to control the
negro and Republican vote in tht
November election, and of course
you were conducting the canvass
, upon high plane in voting thre'
| or four hundred negroes to secur'
. your nomination. You didn't den,
: voting the negro in your letter.
No, l don't suppose am tn
i beloved deciple you had referenc
= tc IN your letter, and you and you
J. crowd may not love me much, br
II God so loved the world that h
a gave his only begotten son, thu
II whosoever believeth on him shoul
d not perish, but have everlastin
" life. So you see that includes mt
IL and again we know that we hay
s. passed from death unto life b'
cause we love the brethren. S
of you see my brethren in Christ loN
IN me, Webb. But again he sutfere
S the Just for the unjust, and tn
IN NAV include you, too, Webb.
OF And now as to the pie. | kno
is that need money to pay II
u debts with; but was not a cane
of date for any Office and had no pa
ds in the pie only to vote as please
IN and thank you, Webb, | have hi
m plenty to eat, as proof of the ia
" / am in tolerably good order no.
p. but the last time saw you, VI
OF looked like you needed and wal
rs. ed several loaves and fishes a
a. some pies, too. :.
OF AS to your being Popull
we ever since that party sprung IN
ed existence, you haven't let yc
Oh Popul,te light shine over Att
les county much, and if that light
out YOU be darkness, how great is Il
darkness; and il it be Republic;
he ism. it max be as dark as'the /
ay, groes that voted for you.
don't blame you for not acc
ers ting a place in the Democra
ve- party, for yon knew there was 4: !
rn. enough negroes and Republic;
all IN that party to nominate you
ore Office. and white supremacy dc
to favor negroes nominating our c
the GERS. =,
and AT the close | will say in re
'ess TO Mr. Ratliff, where nd says, :"
tay less your Democracy exceeds t
the Of fitzpatrick and his son-in-l'
uld Veazev, that you can IN no "
you enter into Office In reply
try that Ratliff is now considered h
And and shoulders of the Popullte +
the ty. but after November will be
