THE CIRCUIT IT1eESHIP.
Reply of Judge Rrien TO the Card OF
Chancellor Harrison in Defense Of
Judge Cary.

Judge Cary.
To the Editors of the Union and Dispatch,
j see in your mornings issue that Eugene
Cary, b. has merit friend, Chancellor Har-
rison, is out in another card, in which the
Chancellor in his zeal for his especial pet,
Cary, has stated some things as facts,
which he certainly knows nothing about,
and others in manner to make false
impression, and another, which, if Mr.
Cary had stated it, I would pronounce
false, because l know Cary would swallow
it, but as for Chancellor Harrison, am a
little afraid of him, for he might have me
up for contempt.
Why will Chancellor Harrison attempt
to make a false impression upon this
people? l understand he (Harrison) has
stated he had rather be defeated himself
than for Cary to be defeated hence his
zeal for his next friend, Cary.
/ charged in my speech, and l repeat it,
that Eugene Cary was no lawyer that he
claimed to have been here az a lawyer for
four wears that he had never produced a
license and been sworn in as a lawyer, as
required by our statutes in any court in
the State Although this charge has been
made for weeks, il is not denied or contra
dicted, aud so will take pro coneso order
az to this But if denied, the records OF
the courts will prove it. Why not answer
| this, Chancellor.
He Gays Cary is man Of good ability, a
fair-minded, just and honorable man. This
! is only your opinion. Yon told me, he
| (Cary) was not half as good a lawyer az |
| (the writer am; when | replied, "you
| Judge Harrison, know he is no lawyer al
| AL" To this you made nc reply. Instead
Of answering the charges l made, the
Chancellor says Cary was appointed Judge
of a County Court in Sheboygan county
Wisconsin, by the Governor, Bashford, il
1857, and admitted to the bar of the SUI
preme Court in 1889 How do you know
this, Mr.. Chancellor? OF course he get!
this information from his aeard, Cary.
can't dispute tits a long ways off-but
have never seen any evidence of it. The
question is where is your license, and why
have you not been qualified here?
This, however, may have been intended
alone TO deny the charge that he was only
a coon skin JUDGE. Altho' / had a spy il
the camp when the Chancellor and hi
ward were preparing their defense, | All
not fully advised why they did not answe
1
my charges.
But they say he commenced the practic
of law here in January, 1864. | ask when
and how, and in what court
But here is the deception the Chancel
lor says he (Cary) purchased valuable rea
estate in this county, and has identified
himself with this community.
New, Judge Harrison does know, o
should have known, that the real estate re
ferred to had long since been sold. Yes
Chancellor HdrriS0a knetc Il, and that Car,
don't now, and has not for some time
owned a dollars worth of real estate, O
any other property subject to execution ii
the State If he does, I irish to knoU i
Then why make this statement, Chancel
lor, if il was not to deceive?
repeat, that Cary is neither competent
nor eligible. repeat all have said, an6
further that he is not eligible on accoun
of citizenship that he was making his ar
rangements, as am cTedibly informed, t
leave for his home elsewhere, when he be
came candidate for the Senate; but 70
, this, no doubt would have been gone.
il is he remains, boarding with a relative
l0ditiag for Office
The Chancellor states further, that
have again announced myself candidat,
This is simply not 80 but my friends sa
| they won't vote for such may as Cary, an
intend to vote for me, whether l am a car
didate or not They say further, MI
, Chancellor, in consequence OF your courst
if they had any one else TO vote for, the
would not vote for you. You can try you
| hand again, Mr.. Chancellor, to bolster L
your ward. NJ NJ BREE, SR.
