As you saw r'i to publish and give circulation t< these misrepresentations I trust tha >ou possess a sufficient degree o fairness to pub'is 1 this reply, givin: the same conspicuous prominence t( this that you seemed pleased to giv< Mr. 1< Hock's wilful misrepresenta tion. Why should 1 be dragged int< this senatorial campaign: i am no a candidate tor any 'office. and ha< concluded not to actively become con nected witli pontics, but it seems tha it will be necessary for me to ente tr.e race for the house of representa lives in order t? > vindicate my recon and refute purposely concocted :~alse hoods directed at me, with the inten tion to damage and blacken my recon and character. iW'hy did C*lr. Pollocl make those statements about me ii the upcountry. where 1 am not so wel known, and where Governor Bleasi is \j pular and ins supporters an numerous? It was clone for the spe oific -purpose of injuring Governo Blease, attempting ro create the im pression that I had in 1880 made th< race for the house of representative: on a Republican ticket and that 1 ha< affiliated with negroes, and that Gov ernor Blease. knowing this, had ap pointed me a member of his militar; staff with the rank iof colonel Now it will become necessary fo me to review the incidents of tha campaign, 34 years ago. when onl; two members of that ticket are living Judge C. P. Townsend and myself. Ii 1876 i returned home form Trinit: College. Xorth Carolina, where I lia( been for three years. I was not 2( years of age; our country and Stat* + were dominated by Republicans anc negro officeholders. True to the prin ciples which my ancestors had always advocated, for their loyalty and de votion to Democarcy and white su premacy have never been' questioned i then, before my majority, did as much in 1ST6 to redem my count} and State from negroism and alier tyranny as any young man in Marlborc county. I put on m'y Wade Hamptoi red shirt, and for two months prev ious to t.'e election rode on horseback day and night, being associated wit'r Messrs W. D. Moore. J. i-7. Davis, the Drakes, Rogers and many otners. whc were as true and loyal as any citizen* o this State. On the day of electior in 1870, with my red shirt on, with two large pistols in my belt. I, ii company with W. D. Moore, came tc Bennetts-.ille before dayligLt undei the direction f Col. C. S. MoCall, voi ed handful o: Hampton tickets in 11: Bennettsville box. We then rode tc Brightsville,-10 miles, where we agaii: voted, returned to Bennettsville, re 4. i . 1 r\ n j ii. . yvrieu iu v_ui. o. .vicv^aii anu hi nit afternoon went t:> Admasville, eighl miles, where I again voted, and W. D Moore and I returned to BennettsvilU at midnight and participated in the jublliation and glorification of our victory for white supremacy. In 1878 1 did the same kind o:* work for Democracy that I had done in 1876. 1 was one of the managers of election at Adamsville and placed red shirts oil negores and had them vote the Wade Hampt n ticket. In 1880 I was still a young man; some of the best citizens of Marlborc county advised me to connect mysell with a white Independent Democratic ticket and promised tJ.ieir support. It may have been an unwise step, but I was honest and sinccre. We had our own white Democratic ticket printed on white paper; this ticket contained the Democratic electors for Hancock and English, who were the candidates that year for president and Vinp nr^siriprit fnntairmri fhp State Democratic ticket and our Independent Democratic county ticket. ' Fortunately I have kept and preserved a copy of our platform of principles which we had published in July, 1880, and with your permission I will copy a few paragraphs from b'ae pronunciamento or address to the people oi Marlboro county. It commenced as follows: ' Fellow Citizens: The unaersignec citizens and menubers of the Democratic party anaouLce themselves as candidates for your suffrage at the approaching election. We have beer nominated by no convention, manipu lated by a few political wire-pullers but rave adopted the old time-honorec mode by declaring ourselves candi dates. "In 1876 a united effort was made b] the vtfvlte people of the State to 'fre< themselves from Radical rule Undo: . 1 h'.* .larJership o: 'he >mit* and patrii ! lie iI m.pton. ami afl< r a heroic pol - imp:ii-n.

Now I will e 1 plain the existence of the "cali j checked backed ticket," which w R sent to Mr. Pollock from this counl 3 and which is being exhibited by hi in the upper part ol" t:ie State. Th r "checked back ticket" was not o ticket. I; I had to go intD judgme e I this moment. I did not Know an s j thing about the existence of that R j j publican ticket, with our names ton _! until I went to Brightsville on the d _ i of election. Mr. D. U. McCall was r .. personal friend as long as he live and he was t'.:e father of the prese Democratic chairman of this counl r ^ He told me after the election in 18 ^ that be and other white Repu/blica ; in this county had advised the Repu " licans to place our names on the tickets. My name was placed the , ! with ut my consent or knowledge, ai 1' ^ j any intimation or declaration that J have ever catered to or affiliated wi ' 1 the negroes or Republican partv is < 1 ! i absolute lie as black as^perdition. M : Pollock certainly knew fae abo' ' j facts, and his perversion of truth ai i misrepresentation is vile, damnab | and most reprehensible. I doubt th ' Governor Blease ever knew that I w; a candidate in 1880; he did kno '' however, that before he commission! 1 me as a member of his staff, that tl ) I white Democrats of Marlboro coun \ ' j bad, lor six years elected me to re j resent them in t'.ie house oi' represe L i tatives, and 'ne knew that I made i ! I valiiolilo QnH faithful momhor i! I seems that many of the newspape ! and extreme anti-administration m( | are industriously exerting themselv ! to vilify and misrepresent Govern* i 01ea.-e and bis friends. They are we i come to al! they, will get out o' th j dastardly and untruthful attack c ' me. After 1 spoke at Sinithville durir ! the caiiipaign in 1880 Dr. Bouchii i shook hands with me and said that I had made one of t'ae 'best Democrat speeches he had ever heard. Col. * X. Drake w?js not in sympathy wii our movement, but he will say tod< mat he hear ! me declare on ihe stun during that campaign that I was n< a leader of the Republican part: thac 1 was a white Democrat, and tr.e Republicanr. put out a county ti< ltet, that 1 would withdraw from tl cam^aii'n and do all I could to elei 1 the convention candidates. Ton after this I wrote a rn uini) and a half editorial against Ha kollisrn and advised our people n< | to support the Haskell ticket, ar * some of that same crowd who vot( the Haskell t.egro ticket a.re utterir - : vile '.alsehoods and misrepresent; ; tioas about me.
