THE JEFFERSONIAN

Patrick Walsh who did not love Mr.. Steph-
ems and did not care a button for DR.. Casey
very humanity famed the little flame of dis
cord and accused Mr.. Stephens of having
left his "life-long friend by the way side'
Mr.. Stephens was touchous and thin
skinned; and to be accused of disloyalty
to lifelong friend stung the old hero to the
quick.
In the public prints much good ink and
labor was lavished on the episode; and a
member of the Casey family who lived at
Thomson told me of the infinite pains that
Mr. S. took in writing to Dr. Casey, to con-
vince the lifelong friend that there had not
been the slightest lack of zeal on the aged
statesman's part.
Now if Nat Harris was connected with this
little squabble in any way, [ never heard of
it.
Juriah Casey was my friend and neighbor;
and he said roundly that if Mr.. Stephens
had been as active for DR.. Casey, (Juriahs
father) as General Gordon had been for ''the
other fellow" DR.. Casey would have been
appointed.
[ regarded this as a sons natural feeling,
and passed it by as such. Ut seems to me
"the other fellow" was named Fitzsimmons.)
Juriah Casey did not mention Nat Harris
at all.
So far as [ know, Col. Harris did not fight
Mr. Stephens for Congress. "The Augusta
thimble-riggers" did that This language is
that of Mr. Stephens, who used to say tart
things when he got his dander up.
If my recollection serves me right, one Of
the Augusta gentlemen who did not consider
it high treason to oppose ''the Sage of Liberty
Hall" was my accomplished and ever-ready-
for-a-fght friend, Major Joseph B. Cum
ming.
How Nat Harris could have fought Mr..
Stephens for Congress, without my knowing
it, do not understand [ was at Liberty
Hall during the fight, and the old hero never
mentioned Nat Harris as being against him.
AS to the governorship the Atlanta "thim-
ble-riggers" lassoed our old hero with regu-
lar nomination, at time when he had begun
to show decided signs of kicking over the
traces.
Having accepted the unsought nomination,
Mr.. Stephens had no Democratic opposition.
General Gartrell ran, as Independent, but l
never heard that Nat Harris was enough of
an 1nsurgent to fight the machine. Appar-
entity, he got his fill of that, during the Civil
War.
It seems to me that Nat Harris led the fight
in the Legislature for the acceptance Of
Joseph E. Browns endowment to the State
University. He led it gamely, too.
I was one of the Toombs men that opposed
the acceptance; and we beat Col. Nat. 1t
was never quite clear to my mind whether
Joseph E. Brown had the right to set us
Toombs men down as a lot of prejudiced
boobies.
Anyway, the State University got the
endowment, quietly, in another way; and we
victorious boobs had to extract what comfort
we could from General Toombs' telegram of
congratulation to Milton Reese-foor leader
too

HOke Smith Playing Both Ends

On the Negro Question.

testified to Roosevelt that she was q splendid
little woman, efficient high minded and
brave, not only waged the meanest and most
vindictive fight upon the widow of zone of
the greatest generals of the Confederacy,"
but Hoke Smiths paper, THE LEO FRANK
CHAMPION, act1ea5zy levied on and sold the
e0id0w's aoeddarag ring, to pay for publishing
one of her patriotic articles in behalf of Tai
lulah Falls!
Now if this undenabe record does not show
you what sort of man Hoke Smith is, you
have simply shut your mind to facts.
But he has played the Negro Question the
same way.
When Secretary of the Interior in Cleve-
lands Cabinet he appointed negroes to office,
over white men. Afterwards, he professed
change of heart, and pretended to be against
the political Negro.
But now that he holds commission in the
Senate, signed by himself, he is showing the
same yellow streak that he revealed in the
case of Mrs Longstreet.

white employees, in Washington City, Just as
Henry Johnson, another negro is said to some
times act as boss of white convicts in the
Federal prison of Atlanta.
Henry johnson is an ex-house servant of
Hoke Smith.)
When Bob Terrell, another negro, was
named for City Judge of Washington City,
did Ho1e Smith fight the appointment?
He did not.
Get a copy of the Congressional Record
for April "a, 1914, and you will find on page
7765 that Bob Terrell was confirmed by the
Senate, arith0at oaoy fight at alt!
Don't take my word for it. Get the official
Record, and see for yourself.
Then look on page 1851, of the Record, for
the same day, and see where the white man,
Robert Boyd, of Dothan, Alabama eoas
fought and defeated.
Why did they fight the white man, and
beat him?
Why didn't they fight the black man, and
beat him?
Now listen:
A week after this quiet confirmation of the
negro Judge, Hoke Smith rose in the Senate
and requested
What?
That he be allowed to say that he had voted
against the black Judge.
That was all-and the Record shows it,
lie did NOT fight tile nomination Of Bob
Terrell.
1t was In his power as Senator to have held
up the negroes nomination, and defeated it,
by THREATENING to speak against 1t indefinitely.
He made no such threat. But he killed the
sLaborer's Compensation bill" with such
threat-the bill being opposed by damage
suit lawyers and the Labor leaders who stand
In with that class of lawyers.
That Hoke Smith is no true friend of Labor
has been amply proved by his attempt to
"food Georgia with cheap European labor"
and by his Indifference to the cause of Labor
In Colorado, Montana and MICHIGAN.
