grass roots in with the dust. He SAYS
they have only dug down to the bed rock

copper, and says there is more gypsum in
the Blach Hills than ten railroads could

Rumors of Bribery In Connection with
Andy's Election.

Washington Special Chicago Tribune.l
A letter has been received here from
the person instrumental in originating
the rumors as to the alleged bribery of
the Tennessee Legislature by Andy John.
son. The writer says that the evidence
is very strong to show that the Shelby
county delegation sold its votes. lie does
not, however, make it appear that the
votes were cast for johnson, or that the
latter knew Of their purchase. johnson
himself denies the story, and claims that,
if any attempt was made, it was by the
other side. The Shelby county delega.
tion, including the city Of Memphis, com.
prises ten members. These members had
pledged themselves prior to the election,
to vote in the Legislature according to
the wishes of a majority Of voters Of that
county. The people Of that county, in
casting their ballots, expressed t.eir
choice for Senator. The ballots express.
ing this choice were cast in box by
themselves. The majority was very large
for johnson, and accordingly the Shelby
county delegates voted for him, although
many Of the members Of that delegation
were personally bitterly opposed to him.
This is JOhnson's story.

He possesses the faculties for seeing

Mr. Raymond is esteemed to be one Of
the best counsel In the State. He is
not as brilliant an advocate as some,

Democrats, who have long worshipped
at the shrine of JefferGonian Democra-
CIV, and who have been Democrats for
principle sake, can endorse a man who
has been professed Democrat and at
the same time embraced all Of the isms
spewed out from the Tammany Swill-
house and low-brsd politicians from
1860 down to the present timc-such
as Neutrality-suspicious., New Departure
isms, Greeley~ism, and lots of other
ism too numerous to mention-for this
position, is beyond the power of my
conception. Not that I propose to dis
cuss this judicial question from polit-
zeal or party stand point, still from a
q mans past public life, we must Judge
of his fitness for any public place.
While Mr.. Park may be fair lawyer
and a social gentleman still if liable
to be carried away by any and all of
the trash that floats upon the surface, he
must necessarily be poorly qualified to
discharge the duties Of Circuit Judge
There is perhaps no place that more es-
sentially requires the right man than
this. A man ought to be governed by
some inhexible rule Of right, and whose
principles are based on the rock of
strict, Christian, manly integrity, sea-
soned with consistency, rather than
man IN whom we can place no degree
of confidence. Therefore, let us, if
possible, select a man of principles
rather than man of isnps. who has
been tried and found wanting
