We heard Il great deal in the late
canvass about corrupt legislation.
Mcssrs. Savage, Wilson, Bcasley and
Others were loud in proclaiming that
legislatures could be bought and had
been. In fact, some of them said that
ninety-nine men out of 100 could be
bought. Governors were bought. The
railroads had bought them, and bought
legislators and Judges. The newspapers
were bought, if they happened to advo-
cate settlement Of the State debt. All
this was buncombe, Of course. But if
orr legislators are SO generally corrupt,
We tell you that a Republican will be
sent to the United States Senate. The
Home journal does not put as low an
estimate upon mankind as do these men
who proclaimed corruption from every
stump. We never believed that our
Governors were "bought up" nor our
newspapers. Perhaps We entertained
this confidence because We judged them
by oursclf. But il those who 50 glibly
assaicd the characters Of our leading
men told onc-half the truth, then you
need not be surprised at the election Of
a Republican Senator from Tennessee.
1t will only require the purchase Of .to,r
Democrats. These four, added to II
solid Republican vote, will beat any
Democrat, And do you not know that
the Republican party would Gladly give
half a million, or more, to have Scna-
tor from Tennessee, and thereby obtain
control Of the L. $. Senate? A cool
hundred thousand dollars to a corrupt
legislator would make him quite iudiller-
cnt as to public opinion. Now, if there
be foW mem among the Democratic
members Of our next Legislature who
love money more than principle, look
out for Republican to be our SEN
ator. Its going to be time for US to
watch and see if ninc-tcnths, or even
one-tcnth, Of the men We elect to make
laws for us can be bought or not.
