ington paper that Hon. Zachariah Chandler
revised Senator HIPS speech before it was
sent out by me, numerous respectable pa
pers ia The South have taken up the cry.
The statement, as originally printed, was q
fafsehood pure and simple. Mr. ChandIer's
relations with the Associated Press are Of
the same general character rs Of other
senator's, Democratic and Republican,, and
he has never revised one OF his own
speeches for us, to say nothing OF
having tempered with other peoples.
This absurd story was unworthy Of
notice until It was foolishly repeated In
journals which ought TO be above quoting
from paper which assails public and prt-
yate character indfscrimiuately, and which
has grievance against the Associated Press
because 1t does not share Ia its news faciii-
ties. Reference to your own flies will show
that Senator Hill was amply reported, like
wise Judge Thurman, while the briefest
mention of Mr.. Chandeliers remarks have
been made in our dispatches to the South.
All ask at your hands is Justice. I am
willing to stand OR fail by that.

"Heigho, Jim Crow" The crow cooked
his eye at the darkey moment, and then

Colonel Lamar, and, second, becsuse the attempt to

days of his power Jefferson DAVIS gave to Colonel
Lamar the highest evidence of his friendship and
