him he would retain him in the Pres
idenoy of the Atlantic Road IL he
would whip Joe Daniels.
Everybody who knows anything
about it, believes that Simmons
wrote that letter, and had Hancock
to sign it. Simmons must have
known it was lie when he began
its clrculatior; but little thing of
that sort never interferes with any
of his purposes. Everybody else
knows it is lie; because it is self
evident that, if Hancock could have
saved his place by whipping Daniels.
Daniels would have been whipped.
It was too easy a thing to do for
Hancock to refuse it. Bless your
dear life, what job could have been
more easy than for Hancock To have
damned the miserable coward who
was slapped in the face by Day;
kicked into the gutter by Carroll;
and cowhided on the public streets
by AsLe. The only possible trouble
that Hancock could have had in the
performance of that task would
have been to catch Daniels.
The above statements show that
you and your coLfederates are beau
ties. You have a nice little arrange
m emit by which you are TO come Ia
the Legislature from Wayne, AM
manage the machinery ia that body
so as to get Oyster Fraud claims
paid by an appropriation.
When the State Treasurer. Mr..
Worth, refused to pay the Oyster
Fraud Claims, you and Simmons
stuck your complaints into the edi-
torial pages of that disrepEtable sheet
known throughout this State as the
News and Observer. l do not know
whether you wrote them; or whether
Simmons wrote them; or whether
Daniels wrote them. am satisfied
that each and every one of you had
a hand in that nefarious business.
In this newspaper sheet, you will re-
member, how Wiley you abused
Treasurr Worth for not having paid
these fraudulent claims. suppose
you want to have him impeached.
You want to come in the next leg
islature from Wayne, SO that you
can work up a job in ASSOCIATION
with Daniels brother from
Wayne, Duplin and Fender
and get all these fraudulent claim:
paid. You are to work it to loot the
State Treasury in one house while
Daniel gets his fingers into it 10 the
other house. You are a nice pair to
go before the tax payers of Duplin
Pender and Wayne and ask them II
vote for you. Yes, you are mic,
pair indeed. 1t seems that the las
count in your articles of impeach
ment against the Governor is that h
refused to let you use the pardoninl
power to extort money from a Dap
lin county negro. You have fix u,
. screed about tho Governors pard
oning a terrible criminal who ha,
violated the virtue of an innocen
woman. Your distressing apxiet,
to preserve the virtue of negroes j
