Bad as the yellow fever now is in
the Southwest, it is not so bad as it
has been in that quarter. In 1858
the scourge was much worse. In
New Orleans, for example, the max
imum of deaths per day so far at
tanned has been 103. August % of
that year there were 254 deaths
from the pestilence, and on no day
of that month were there less than
ITO deaths, while most of the time
they averaged at least $50 daily.
The resident population was not
then, it is estimated, over $4,000,
and of these 10000 died that sea
son, compared with which the pres
ent mortality, distressing though it
be, is small.

Judge East voted for Grant, voted
for Hayes, was a delegate to the
Cincinnati National republican con
vention. was an applicant for Fed
eral appointment under Hayes, and
has been identified with the repub-
lican party for eight years or more.
We never heard of his disafection
until he failed to get the position
Judge Baxter now holds. If he is
not a republican now it is doubtless
for this reason, coupled with the
well known fact that the party is in
helpless minority in Tennessee.

knoxville journal: Inc n1teenJn
section of the greenback platform
reads as follows:
"We demand reduction of offices.
of official salaries, of taxation, and
economy in all governmental ex-
penses, whether municipal, county,
State or national"
During the session of the Legis-
lature of 1875, of which body
Judge East was a member, a bill
intended "to equalize the salaries Of
officers" was introduced. The OBJ
ject of this bill was to effect the re-
duction demanded by the Green
hackers in their platform. On the
second reading of the bill Judge
East offered quite a number of
amendments to it, most of which
were adopted. After the greater
number of the amendments offered
by him had been made part of the
bill, and it was fair to presume that
he had gotten the measure in a
shape to suit his views, when it
came up on its third and final read
ing, he voted against it. So much
for his record on the reduction of
salaries.
Another section of the platform
upon which Judge East stands, and
one upon which they lay great
stress, says:
ave demand the abolition of the
system of letting, by contract, the
convicts in our prisons, and the
bringing of them In competition
with skilled and honest labor"
Judge East has also made re-
cord upon this subject no less I'M
fortunate for him than the one up
on the question of the reduction of
salaries. A bill providing for the
lease of the penitentiary, the same
bill under which the present lessees
now hold it, was introduced during
the same session of the Legislature.
When the ball came before the
House, Judge East voted for it, and
is as much rsss,nonsible for the pres
ent system as any member 81 the
Legislature which passed the bill.
Looking ut the above facts it
would seem that the platform does
not suit Judge East's views in all
respects, or that he has changed bis
views since he left the Legislature.

The Senatorship.

oath, the report of a special COM
mittee was adopted, agreeing that
Giles was entitled to name the Sen
ator that year, and that thereafter
the nominations for Senator should
be governed by population-that
thenceforward, until a new appoint
ment was made, Giles should alter
nate with the other counties. This
agreement Giles will adhere to with
scrupulous fidelity, we hope and be
lieve. True, Giles possesses nearly
two thirds the entire population OF
the district, lacking only one vote,
and might justly claim the senator
two terms out of three, but for the
present at least she is bound by the
above agreement. Giles votes 80,
Lawrence 9, Wayne Z and Lewis 2,

shows that Giles has large prepon-

altogether. But in 1876 she gave it

and will claim it this year for her.

there will be no controversy what.
