DEAR COLONEL -Haye you ever
been ''out Vest" If not you should
go, but in selecting a route, 1 trust
you will be more fortunate than your
humble correspondent. If you should
come to Toledo to purchase through
ticket, it would be we'll to buy a map
of this "great Western country" and
trace out direct route, no matter
what it may cost to travel it, it is cheap
at any price. A very gentlemanly
Union Ticket Agent at Toledo, induc-
me to buy cheap ticket to the far
West by the Wabash line. 1 left To-
ledo sending up devout prayers for
the success of this company, but as I
have not made a single connection
thus far, my enthusiasm has diminish
ed to such an extent that the Beecher
theory fills me with utter disgust. My
route brought me via Quincy, where
l found had to remsin twelve hours,
at ST.; Joe five hours, at Nebraska City
all night, and at Lincoln almost twen-
ty-four hours, and 1 have found that
Hotel bills amount to more than the
purchase money for tickets. The Ne.
braska Railroad is swindle and fraud,
making no connections whatever with
any road. Tho employees are q lot of
bummers, and the general managers
are an imposition upon long suffer-
ing public. They run but one pass
enger train daily each way, which
makes about twelve miles All hour, and
should be avoided by all decent men.

GOING SOUTH-MAIN LINE.
The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1878-07-24

The election day will soon be here.
We ask the friends of Judge Nc
Kinney to be watchfuI and see that
ne advantage is taken of him by his
opponents and enemies. II his
friends will only do their duty all
will be well aud the ballots will show
his election by handsome MAORI
ty. The people of this Circuit know
all about him, and hence the bitter
and unjust attacks of his enemies
have not to any extent weakened
him or damaged his prospects.
Judge Mckinney, since he has been
upon the bench, for the last two
years, has probably dispatched more
business and performed more real
hard work than any other Circuit
Judge in the State. AS an officer,
working for the people, he has Civ
en- satisfaction, because he has done
his full duty and done it firmly, i'm
partially, promptly, and fearlessly.
He has made a good Judge. And
now that he has been on the bench
just long enough to become thor
oughiy familiar with the routine
work necessary to dispatch the pub
lie business, simple justice would
seem to require that he should be
kept there for one full term. Nc
Kinney's enemies have carried their
unjust and cruel war upon him lit
tie too far. They have made charg-
es and circulated stories which the
people know were only electioneer-
ing tales and had no foundation in
truth. and hence their sympathies
have been aroused in his favor, and |
he is stronger man than he would |
have been had they let him alone.
Again we say to the people look out
for the country to be flooded with
circulars and eleetioueering tales
just on the eve OF the election day. |
Remember that if those charges had |
been true they would have been
brought out earlier in the canvass.
Do not permit yourselves to be de-
ceived by any falseheo6 that may
be brought out. Let his friends, |
one and all, stand firm and vote for
their favorite and victory is certain.
Our information from every part of
the Circuit is of the most cheering
character. The prospects are bright
and daily getting brighter. Moth
ing remains but to close up the
ranks, stand firm aud vote for Nc
Kinney and his election is sure.
Look out for ISLANDERS aud all man
ler of falsehoods, aud put your foot
lpon each and every one Of them as
asst as they show their foul heads.

MAJ. Harry NJ. Aiken has resign
ed his position as Clerk of the U. s..
Circuit Court at Knoxville, his resig.
nation TO take effect the first of Sep
TENDER. This will be a great loss to
the Court. Maj. Aiken was pecal-
iarly well-fitted for the position. and
is deservedly popular with those
having business in that Court. His
railroad interests in Hawkins county
required more Of his personal atten-
ton, and we are glad to learn that
he will probably spend more of his
time in our county in the future than
he has been able TO do in the past.
The work on the railroad bridge is
progressing finely and if nothing
happens to delay the operations
there. the cars will be crossing in
five or six weeks. He deserves
the gratitude of all our people for
saving our road from utter destruc-
tion and ruin. We hope he will
soon have it in first-rate order from
one end to the other end. that he
will find it as profitable as he could
desire it to be.

The ChanceIlOrship.

To the Editor of the Hawkins Co Opt:
If Chancellor Smith had the abili
ty of a Kent, a Walworth. or q
Cooper, it might be we'll enough to
retain him in Office for life. but it is
generally conceded that his oppo.
nent. Mr.. Deaderick. is better quail
fed for Chancellor than he is.
Judge Smith has held the posi-.
ton Of Chancellor for nine years.
and has drawn from the State Treas
ury about twenty two thusand FIVE
hundred dollars, for his salary. He
now asks to have another term Of
eight years, making in all period
Of seventeen years, at the end of
which time, if elected. he will have
drawn from the Treasury the sum
OF forty-two thousand five hundred
dollars ($42, 5000.
But few men in the State have
ever drawn from its Treasury such
q sum. The average professional
life Of one generation of lawyers
will not exceed twenty Eve or thirty
) ears. and at the rate that Judge
Smith proposes to hold his position,
not over two men, during one gener-
alton OF lawyers, could ever hold
he position OF Chancellor. At this
'ate of holding Office, what induce.
nent is there for men to qualify
heir sons for judicial positions
There can 90 no good reason urged
The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1878-07-24

AGAIN we warn the good people
OF this Judicial Circuit to be on their
guard. Just on the eve of the cleo
tion the county will be flooded with
papers and circulars, containing
falsehoods which cannot be met and
refuted in the papers because time
will not permit. Judge Mckinney
is to be charged with nearly all the
crimes known among men. He is
TO be charged with falsehood. with
robbery, theft, and even murder.
He will be denounced as an immoral
man, a prefane swearer. a libertine,
a drunkard. FelloW-citizens, you
who know the mao and have known
him all his life, be on your guard
and put your foot on these foul,
cruel falsehoods, one by one as they
present themselves. Grind them in.
to the earth as you would snakes.
Kill them as you would kill scor-
piens. Judge Mckinney is known
to our people. His life has been
spent here among US. His acts,
public and private, have been known
and we do not believe he can be
cheated out of an election by false-9
hood and SANDER. It has been pri-
vately charged that Judge Mckinney |
procured the murder Of two citizens
Of Hawkins county; that he was in-
strumental in the murder Of three
or four men in Hancock and how
many more murders he has either
committed or instigated we do not
know. These fellows are overriding
the thing Their electioneering
tales are too monstrous for human
belief. They carry their own con-
tradiction along with them.
As gentleman Judge Mckinney
il above reproach. AS an honorable.
upright citizen, his character is with
out blemish. As a kind, generous
be is unexcelled. As an
officer and a Judge, no man can
tTuthfully impeaeh him.
1t Is sirnply outrageous for a man
10 be treated as Judge McKinney's
enemies are treating him in this can
rass. IL he was man Of ques ton
lbIe morals it would be bad enough
o drag bis private character into I
he campaign. But to invent foul /
les. altogether unfOunded in fact. I
Ind write private letters all over the 2
The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1878-07-24

Circuit, giving these monstrous lies
as facts, is too bad. 1t is cruel l.er-
secution.
We ask the people to do Judge
Mckinney Justice. He is not mar-
derer and you all know is. Refute
this Islander at the ballot box. He
is not a swindler. Put your foot
en- this Islander at the polls. He is
not liar, libertine or a drunkard
and the people all know he is not.
Let the election returns show that
these charges are false.
Neither Judge Mckinney or any
of his friends have ever attacked the
private character of his opponent.
Capt. Hackers private reputation is
his own. We would scorn to stab
him in the dark.
