The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1880-09-01

A Washington correspondent Of the
World, in a conversation last week on
the subject of the alleged Southern Cen
sus frauds, Was told by a prominent Of
fetal Of the Census Bureau that that Blu.
reau was not 50 much concerned just
now about frauds in the South as it was
about possible fraud in New Ysrk.
Having been asked in what respect, he
said that Johnny Davenport had man
aged TO secure the official records n
transitu and caused them to be copied.
The question arose, could they be faith
fully copied or garbled to suit the Rad
ical managers. He certainly took them
for a purpose and that purpose is note
riously the interest Of the Radicals.
What was to prevent Davenport and his
agents from marking down the ages Of
five, ten or even twenty thousand DEM
ocratic votersg When these voters pre-
sented themselves at the polls what
could prevent their being confronted
with these lists, ostensibly correct cop
les Of census reports, showing that they
were net eligible and thereby disfran-
chising many thousand voters!

Jehn Sherman, Secretary Of the Treas
ury, in recent stump speech which he
made for Garfield, had the exceedingly
bad taste to say sneeringly of General
Hancock that he had been educated at
the public expense and fed at the pub
lie expense. 1t is an i'll Secretary that
fouls his own brother. Besides, not
only have Secretary Sherman and all his
relatives of whom we know-saVe and
excepting one who left the bench to
avoid Experimentation fed for many
years at the public expense, but, accord
ing to the New York Times, the Secre-
tary himself spent many thousands of
dollars of the public's money this sum-
mer in trying to get Presidential nom
nation. Gen. Hancock receives sala-
nv from the Government for certain
services; so does the Hon. John Sher-
man. The chief difference between the
cases of the two men is that while Gen.
Hancock holds the post that gives him
his dinners by virtue of honorable ser
vice and regular promotion, John Sher-
man owes his to gang of scoundrels in
Louisiana, whom he helped instigate to
crime.

CHEERFUL TLDLNGS FROM ALL
QUARTERS.
A reporter of the Nashville Anoerj-
can interviewed Maj. Thos. O'Con-
ner, member from Tennessee of the
National Democratic ExecutiyeCom'
mittee, who returned from New
York last Wednesday, and gathered
from him the following cheerful &C
count of the political outlook in
Maine, Pennsylvania, Indiana and
other States:
Reporter-"What were the general re-
ports concerning the election of the
Democratic nominees?"
Mai. O'ConDer-"The reports from all
parts of the country are of the most en-
couraging character"
Reporter-"What about NJ aine?"
Mai. O'Conner-"The committee are
confident that the Fusion ticket in Maine
viii win"
Reporter-"And Indiana?"
Maj. O'Conner-''The enemy has sent
tremendous force into Indiana, but
without any perceptible effect. Our
party is thoroughly organized in Indiana
and the victory is certain both for Han
cock and English and Franklin Landers.
The organization in that State is so COM
plete that every civil district has already
been heard from. Never was such a
canvass known as it is there"
Reporter-"Are there any great chang
es in Pennsylvania"
Maj. O'Conner-'T saw Randall, from
Philadelphia, before left, and he was
confident that the State of Pennsylvania
would go for our ticket. Greater chang
es have been made in Pennsylvania, prob
ably, than in any of the doubtful States.
Hancock and the committee are daily in
receipt of thousands of letters notifying
them of the great changes taking place,
not only in Pennsylvania but in other
States"
Reporter--'cWhata about Ohio?"
Mai. O'Conner-''The friends of Han
cock claim Ohio beyond question, but
the fight will be so fierce there that 1t
may be considered .ene of the doubtful
States. Connecticut and New Jersey
are certain for the Democracy
Reporter-"DO you think Virginia
will turn up all right2"
Mai. O'Ccnner-"The committee are
confident that the electoral vote will
never be lost to Hancock, but just ex-
actly how this will be brought about

DRUNKENNESS AND PISTOL CAR

DRUNKENNESS AND PISTOL CAR
RYING.
It is well known that nearly all
lawless outbreaks are the results of
drinking Intoxicating liquors and
carrying pistols. If drunkenness
and the carrying of concealed weap.
ons were suppressed crime would be
in a great measure suppressed. Pub
lie drunkenness and carrying con-
cealed weapons are indictable often
ses. 1t is frequently the case that
the law making power is in advance
of the moral sentiment of a people,
and enact laws which cannot be eff
fective of good for that reason. 1t
is very seldom, however, that we
have the law.making power and the
moral sense of the people in harmo-
ny and the judicial department fail
ing TO administer the law, Even
demagogues and towards generally
do right when sustained by the peo-
pie. Hence the strangeness of our
present situation. This whole com.
munity admits that drunkenness and
pistol carrying are abomiuable evils,
that they ought to be put down, and
we earnestly desire to do so. Yet
when these cases get into the court
house, nine times out Of ten, we are
disgusted to find merely a nominal
fine imposed. In other words, a gu
gantic evil is merely an indiscretion
when it comes before court. The
community has a right to protect
itself. We all want law and order
maintained, but we cannot have the
confidence and respect for the law
that good citizens ought to have as
long as drunken men go around and
shoot down whoever may happen to
be in the way or convenient. IL the
people of Morristown desire to sup
press drunkenness and crime in their
midst, one very efficient way to dc
SO is for them TO have the nerve to
indict before the grand jury every
man found drunk and every man
found carrying concealed weapons
on the streets.
