made a personal attack upon me, in which
he accuses of dishonesty. I desire to

I have exposed his political corruption.

fully establish liis ignorance and want of a
business education. I uni not angry with
him, but feel sorry for him. I know he
don't want to lose that little office, hi.-
bread and butter is in it or the corn field,
and he don't want to lo*ethat liigb-souiul-

Now, I ask the voters ol Tarrant, is not
this enough: if not, I eau get more? Can
you vote tor this old Leaguer, who was your I
political enemy, when most you nee..til
lri‘*i»ds? Can you hold a man in place
when you know that he aided ami assisted
your enemies, after you were over-p- »wt red,
to humiliate you, to tax you without repre-
sentation. to put you under the rule ot
negroes aud carpet-baggers, who have stole
your money and your liberty, too? Cau
you do it? Will you?

I. William Trimble, do hereby certify
that some- time in Ih-ceinbcr or January

purchase an axe. Mr.KB. showed tm* aome

wanted to give; he then said there was an

that Garrett was going baek to Georgia, j

Garrett gave me twenty-five rents and my
