THE ATTACK BEGAN BY A GOLD BUG
PAPER.
| had not been in the Governors
office two and half months before
the New Orleans Picayune, through
its Jackson correspondent, began the
attack on me because of my financial
opinions. The attack commenced
with misrepresentation of fact,
charging in substance that in Dor
rowing $500 600 for the State from a
bank in Vicksburg, ! had refused to
accept silver, thereby discounting my
faith in the efficacy Of silver as
money. This charge, Col. Jones, an
elegant and accomplished gentleman,
the president of the bank with whom
| negotiated the loan, Immediately
refuted by an explicit denial. The
denial, by sound money man, was
so explicit and the reputation so com
plete that further assault was held in
abeyancefor the time.
AS time passed on and my inability
to appoint every applicant for Office
was supposed by those men who
were ready to assail the administra-
ton on any pretent or quasi pretext
to be sufficient to unite in opposition
those who were disgruntled because
disappointed they made their com
bine, not for just and legitimate criti-
eism Of a Democratic administration,
but for vilifieation and abuse.
