During the last three years, I in Raleigh, my whole income all sources has been barely to support my family, although we live My entire estate, belonging to my wife, would probably bell for more than seventeen or eighteen thousand dollars it is by unpaid mortgages of over three years standing for dollars. Even my home is gaged half its purchase money. do my banking with Citizens Bank of this For three years the enemies of Democracy, with evil and vicious eyes, have turned the searchlight inspection upon my life character. In the midst of it all I have no quarters none. I ask none now, but there is a difference between injustice from foes and injustice from friends. The form may be regarded with the latter is shaper than a tooth. My Democracy is without stand i square and for every principle and declaration in our platforms, State and National, and Mr. Bryan, the great leader of our hosts. There is a well and large- successful movement certain pins of tho State to against favor of my certain interests which, though usual- acting with the Democratic Party, are out of sympathy with city, its books will show I actually hostile to some of its J. Falls, N C. Dear I am in receipt of your recent favor, in which you say it is against me, as an aspirant for the Senate. First, that Senator Vance op- posed my confirmation as Collector upon grounds derogatory lo my personal Second, that I am charged wit being a secret agent of the South- Railway Company, and it and other corporations have been, and are now, paying me large sum of money to protect interests as a lobbyist and and you express the opinion, in which I concur, as I am a candidate for their the people are entitled to know facts with reference to charges, In reply, I beg to say that Sena- tor Vance's opposition to my was not based upon per- grounds and no charge against my personal character was made in connection with that mat- At the time of my appoint- Collector, Vance, the other Senator and all the democratic congress- men from North Carolina, favored me. The subsequent opposition of Senator Vance to my arose out of with the appointment of the Collector for the Western District of North The records of the Senate and the delegation in Congress from this at that time will bear out t statements. With reference lo the second charge to which you refer, I beg to say it is not true that am attorney agent, either secret, or other of the Southern road. I have never appeared for that railroad in any capacity. It has never paid, me a cent of in my life, except a made to me as Chairman of the Committee in which was spent for benefit of the party. On the contrary, have appeared and am appearing against It ma- suits. During the last three since I to law in Raleigh, I have been of counsel in recovering a number of judgments II, one of them for as much its three hundred dollars, and now appear of In quite a number of against it, in which my clients claim damages for from thirty to forty thousand dollars. I am also of counsel against it the tax as- cases. It Is not line that I am, or have at any time been, u secret or attorney for or person, nor I am a lobbyist, nor that I have at time been in receipt of any personal Income twin source whatever except legitimately to any North Carolina lawyer enjoying a have not had to my personal at onetime during the last two years as much as one thousand dollars. When the campaign of this year closed, the committee was very much behind. There were a of urgent bills to Ire met, for which I was responsible. I rowed, upon the endorsement of a from the Farmers Bank of this city, one thousand dollars gave it to the Committee as my contribution to the campaign. Painful as it is to do so, I deem it proper to make this about my private affairs that people of the State may see how unjust and cruel are the charges which it is being sought to injure and destroy my reputation. the last three years I have given to the Democratic a year of my time w any compensation, having actually rowed money to pay, in part, my expenses while engaged in this work, and I ha-e also given to it this year more than one-seventh of my I have done this and if my State should ever again into the horrible from which it has res- cued, and again wish my services I shall not answer not now, but at a more season. I have not made, and do not to make any demands the party for the sacrifices. A party has a right to expect, in time and money sacrifices from its adherents, bill no party exigencies can require the sacrifice of a man's character. During the last three years have heaped upon me a degree of slander and vituperation which before fell the lot of any man the Stale I have borne these with pa- counting myself fortunate that I was considered worthy to suffer the name of the for which I was struggling. This abuse has been directed me not as an individual, but I have denounced by the mies Democracy everything done by the Democratic which has pleased them. It seems that these charges made by the e revamped are circulated to my detriment by men in my own party, because, forsooth, I am the way of the ambition of their favorite. So be It, am not the only victim. Others, yea of others, have felt tho mailed band of a which brooks no opposition to the of its purpose, and which, though it was not has recently become In country a power mightier him- self. principles and policies, and more or less unfriendly to our candidate for the Presidency. I have apologies to make o for my advocacy of principles of the Democratic National platform, nor for my earnest admiration and support of Mr. Bryan. I stand for principles separately and collectively; apart of but for each them.
