Our opponents looked the worst whipped of any I ever saw.
The audience began to call for Watson badges to take the place of their Parker ones.
It is generally very much out of place for anyone to accuse a committee of a wrong decision on purpose, but the case was so plain that I do not hesitate to say that their decision was based on the condition of their hearts before they heard our speeches.
But many were on our side. One of the Emory College boys, a very prominent physician and a strong Democrat, and brother-in-law to one of the committee, was outspoken in saying that the affirmative side won.
I never cared for the decision being given against me so little as I did this time, for everyone, almost, in the audience knew the right.
Our debate no doubt resulted in waking up the people to some degree, for our opponents could only eulogize you.
Ever rest assured of my highest appreciation of the points sent me.
Wishing that you may live long to continue your fight for the many against the few, I am,
Very respectfully yours,
S. B. McCall.
