Griffin Denies Ballot Alteration in January Election
A public card from H C Griffin of Bainbridge Georgia dated February 24 1884 flatly denies accusations that he altered seventy five ballots as a January election manager. He calls the charge a lie and challenges witnesses while asserting his remark on voting pledges referred only to perceived voter treachery and not ballot manipulation. He names T T Mills as denying knowledge of the claim and urges fair minded readers to weigh the truth. He adds a note about seeking the author and ends with a store notice offering flour and peas at low prices in Fowlstown.
