1t is an autograph letter, signed "Hoke Smith"

me for various help it goes on this way: "How

That is what we started out to do. That is
what they promised me they would do. That was
the condition which promised to help Hoke
Smith in that campaign. First, you elect him.
That is what he said in his letter there. How
has that contract been kept with and you?
One hundred thousand white men have been de-
prived of their ballots and nearly $4,000 negroes
registered and they still going to school, and
10000 more will register two years from now.

meeting AS say, when struck their disfran-
chisement law they began to howl my
right, and began to how here my left.
1 didn't know it at the time, that Hardwick was
leading that gang there along with the
sheriff of Washington county. Over this side,
H. Y. McCord, Hoke Smiths campaign manager,
was exciting the crowd that could
not handle the audience; for the audience began
to demonstrate in my favor, just you have
night, and it is good deal harder to control you
my friends, under that situation the more noise
you make in my favor the more am drowned
out. Now, the audience that night did not hiss
me. The audience did not yell at me. The audi
ence Kissed at those howlers The audience tried
to suppress the rioters; the more noise the audi
made in my favor the more was completely
submerged in sound
After trying for fifteen minutes to quiet the
crowd, to protect the crowd and appeal to them,
1 saw they would not listen; it organ
lied, they determined, if possible, not
to let me speak, ladies shooting out through
the doorway; I other ladies retiring; saw
other ladies and their escorts rise in disgust to
go, and l realized if a pistol shot was heard
a woman tainted and screamed there might be
rush of the audience. and rush of eight thou
sand men and women to get out might mean the
loss of life and limb, decided to sacrifice my
self for the safety of my guests, my audience.
(Applause and cheers.)
I have written two weeks ago, letter to Hoke
Smith, charging him with being an accomplice
of Hardwick that occasion and he has not
dared to answer. (Applause and cheers.)
If he had not been party to that crime of
breaking up the meeting, party to the further
crime of impering life and limb, he would before
this have expressed regret at the conduct of
Hardwck and H. Y. McCord. The fact he has
not done shows he a party to it. And be-
hind the design to break up that meeting was
the darker design to incite riot, during which
somebody might get chance to stick knife in
me- They have the Carmack case in mind, but
they won't find any Carmack if they make the
trial. Having in mind Gobel shot down,
