propos to do if you will allow me
though your valnble paper, I waut
to ray first, that I am here to defend
any thing I hav said or don, but I
say this as an apopolgy, and I hope
the compound confusionist will ic
cept it.
I said that the meanest eli merit
of the democratic party, had gon in

we all know that ther is good and
bad men in all partys, but I hav
found more of the bad in the popu

the negroes intres are concern, 1 will
tell you why I say that I am an or

in the south, fct.gaid the negroes
were not responsible for being here,

Ed:tor Standard: In Satur
day's issue in reporting a distuion
at Forest Hill Friday night between
SheritT Morrison and myself, vou
make the following statement which
is wilfully and deliberately fals,
(inasmuch a9 it was reported by oli
onthe ground):
"At the wind up of hi (Sim-;)
talk hp said he Hid be.ud th-ii Mr
W KOdeil had sr-.id he (Mr. OJtl')
would discharge every m:n ti;i-
didn't vote tbe way he said."
I again lepeiit tha.t the above i
untrue. What 1 did say w.iS this :
"that it had been reported that
some of the laboring men -,ou ul
vote for me. but wtrc fearful ut
losing their poi'ioKS. 1 tmid I iiii
believe the tim? hud come, when an-i
hoaeet efiicieut, industrious lubonn".'
man would lose h;a position l-".v vot
ing his convictions:, but that if foi
any reason sucn wa-j tli? c vise, 1
treed such an one for hi.; owi

not to vote for mc. I did not, vt'i
the responsibility resting upon nit
of any laboring m:in b-:iug thrown
