BGNTON, POLK COUNTY. EAST TENNESSEE. THUR&AY MAR. 26 1014
REPLY TO GORDON
HYATT'S SLANDERS
Gordon, your flunkey after last
weeks' deliverance says that the
controversy is over. If honesty
or reason had possessed your
order to your carpet-bag three
weeks' residence secretary of
your executive committee, as
typo for your Yellow Jacket, the
matter could end, but when the
public coavicted liar that you
are asks the question "Have you
been accused of perjury by a
man of your own town?" ,lHave
you been accused of graft?"
which every old citizen knows
is false, an answer is necessary,
i because new people come to our
county every year who do not
know us neither do they kno w
you, Gordon. -
An honest answer is therefore
necessary: We deny that any
resident ever accused us off
perjury. A person who we had
accomodated by signing his note
came to us after we had , taken
steps to make him pay th note,
ineinnstt.ino- n.l much, hut befofft
0 --- V
he got to the accusing place
was fighting unfairly ,wjtt2, l
knife, heti-' fcp-d -ffei p desV
sistence; with our
'Phuf. nnrsnn has I
petition in bankruptcy and moVftFYank Bain et al ) county
ed to Wetmore.
If the charge of graft was true
you could secure an indictment
and conviction of us, because
every branch of the county goy-
ernment is in accord with your
political persuasion. The county
court is republican, and it selocts
the grand jurors, the petit jurors
and the tral jurors, and that
party elected and controls in a
measure the official action of our
Judge and Attorney General.
Every branch of the trial would
be ou your side. Every branch
of the government in a trial 'Tor
graft or perjury would be against
us, because we are a Democra.'
and a person who would plow a
bull for a living before we would
acknowledge you as a person
with whom decent people can
associate.
" You meddled in the matter, of
a bond wherein I "was made to
pay $ 250.00 in cash over an order
of the county court releasing tne
of prt of it, when no other per
son has paid such an amount,'
J because we are a Democrat. Yon
were strong enough in court to
have the bondsmen for the Ten
nessee Copper Company releas.
ed after Mr. Case had forfeited
his bond for failing to fill out a
tax schedule. You were on the
job when Mr. Ran wick's case
for the same offense was nolled
You were on the job when the
judge removed your 'disbarment
proceeding to the Ducktowu Uw
court. It was a case of an ira
moral nature, but you were on
the job when the judge allowed
yovr, motion 10 reuiQVQ it vb?H
TV
no case waJ authorized for re
moval except cases of a criminal
civor commercial nature.
Thus, in all these cases, in
equalityof the law has been
procured oy the interest that
pay you for your' many multi
plicities of crookedness. And
nowi haying fully answered, we
are willing to close or to answer
further.
Gordon, you are the whole ly
ing cheese the boss of the re
publican party, is why we
answer your lies at all.
Democratic Meeting.
;A meeting of the Democratic
Executive Committee of Polk
