question has spread into England and Eng
l;sh landlords are becoming alarmed at the
increased number of land organizations
among their tenantry.
DINNERS in masks are the latest novel
ties in London entertainments, and, in
spite of the deadness of the present season,
one has already been given by a young and
beautiful woman, who writes the names Of
royalty upon her visiting list, but who is
not professional beauty. At this novel
festivity, all the guests were completely
and concealingly masked, and were not
even required to disclose their identity be-
fore their departure. The conversation
was lively, and the candid expressions of
opinion rather embarrassing to those who
were obliged to listen to very free dis
cussion of themselves and their affairs,
without the possibility Of contradiction Or
defence.
THERE is good deal Of feeling between
the present administration and the friends
of General Garfield regarding the retire
ment of certain justices of the supreme
court. Mr.. Hayes desires that Justices
Strong, Swayne, Clifford and Hunt shall
retire before the 4th of March next, sc
that ho may name their successors. The
friends of Garfield, particularly Blaine
Conkling and Edmunds, do not want
any retirements until after March. 1t IL
stated that Justice Strong will occupy his
scat in this court to-day for the last TIM
and that he will accept a position al
counsel for the Philadelphia & Reading
railroad. Mr.. Hayes wants to place Attor
ney General Devcns on the supreme bencl
before lie gives up his presidency ant
possibly he will nominate him in place o
Strong. This will offend Don Cameron
Senator Blaine and Senator Edmunds, ant
no doubt they will do al they can to dc
feat the nomination. A very pretty figh
is in tho future on this subject.

UTICA, N. y, Nov. 13, 1880.
DEAR SIR: ask your attention to the
following newspaper report Of remarks al
legged to have been made by you in pub
lie speech at Dover, Del, near the end of
tho recent canvass
"That he may not claim he is misrepre
sented. we give a verbtim report of the
language he used: when that interview
took place very distinguished gentlemen
were present, the senior senator from New
York among others, Mr.. Conkling, also
Mr.. Noah Davis, the district attorney !;
Mr.. Arthur, the collector Mr.. Jayne, the
spy or special agent they called him-all
were present. Mr.. Boutwell,, the distin-
guished financicr, who was secretary of the
treasury, was also there. And they all
stood around this unhappy merchant, who
had given his s25. 900 subscription to Gen
Grant this president of the Young Mems
Christian association, this member Of the
Union League, and this president of the
Chamber Of Commerce. He thought that
would protect him. Not much not much!
They took from that mans pocket in ono
sum $2G7, 900 in money, and they divided
it among themselves. [Great laughter.
Gentlemen this is no oexaggeration or figure
of speech. There it stands upon the
record, and want to tell you it is a thing
Of which have knowledge and means OF
knowledge"
The extract is cut from the Philadelphia
Press of Friday, October 90, 1880. The
!S:ate Sentinel, published at Dover, on the
3Oth Of October, contains the same report
in substance. The appearance Of these
two publications in journals near you, and
their having gone thus far without con-
tradiction or correction, will, trust, seem
sufficient excuse for bringing them to your
notice. Will you inform Inc whether you
did make this statement in form or sub
stance? 1t is hardly necessary to add
that this inquiry is not meant to imply
that l suppose you did. or would, make
such all utterance. My purpose is only to
adopt the most natural convenient mode to
set right an injustice, greater, perhaps, to
you than to others.
Your obedient servant,
Roscoe CONKLING.

Senator, Wilmington, Del.

WILMINGTON, Nov. u, 1880.
DEAR SIR: have just received your
letter, dated the 18th inst, accompanied
by newspaper cutting, purporting to be
an extract from 4 report of a public speech
made by me at Dover, in this state, ''near
the end of the recent canvass | made
but one speech ut Dover, and spoke then
without notes. Until l received your let
ter never knew that any report had been
made or published. The Press, from which
you tell me you cut the extract, is Phila-
delphia paper, and the Sentinel is publish
cd in Dover. Both are Republican in
politics, and / have never seen copy
Of either during or since the can
vass. Reading for the first time the
extract you send me, it appears to
me SO grossly inaccurate as to cause the
belief that it could not have been written
by All honest person. l remember we'll
speaking Of the case Of Phelps, Dodge &
Co., and the proceeding under which 4
great sum Of money (s27O, 00O) was wrong
fully taken from their pockets. l de-
scribed and denounced in severe terms the
':mOiety system" and the share which in
this case accrued to tho collector, surveyor
and naval officer, and the informer (Jayne,
or Herve), and stated that "the senior
senator from New York, Mr.. Conkling,
was understood to have received compen-
sation, as their counsel, from Messrs Ar.
thur, Cornell and Latin, for his services
aud assistance in the transaction;' also
that my authority for this statement was
derived from document published by
one of the houses of Congress, accompanied
by testimony and statements made in open
debate on the floor of the House and never
to my knowledge, contradicted. believe
also referred to 4 publication by William
P. Wood, an ex.treasury official, made in
the New York Sun, Oct.27, 1880, giving his
account in full of the case. This I believe
to be the form and substance" of that
part of the speech in question which had
any reference to you on the moiety sys-
TEN. shall be surprised to learn there
is any error of fact in my statement, and
shall regret if the slightest injustice has
been done to you, and if there has been,
will feel myself bound to apply any proper
remedy when my error has been disclosed
to me. Your Obedient servant,
TT. BAyARD.

II p COLEMAN ESQ.

Just as we 60 to press we are
most agreeably surprised to learn
that the difficulties in regard to the
Senatorial contest in this (the Sec
ond) district have been amicabIy ad-
iusted between the rival Democratic
aspirants. The race has been con-
ceded to Henry F. Coleman, of Han
cock, whose announcement will be
found elsewhere. Mr.. Coleman is
a native of Hancock county, law
yer Of acknowledged ability, a man
of untarnished moral character and
a Democrat of the old school. With
a handsome majority in the district
to start with we predict for him an
easy victory over the Honorable
William.

GARFIELD, THE GRABBER.


Garfield voted for the salary grab
bill; he received and pocketed the
money, nearly $4,000, fraudulently
taken from the Government. When
the people raised storm about the
great robbery Garfield returned the
money to the Treasury. Just think
back little. Think or George
Washington, John Adams, Thomas
Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, James
K. Polk-think of the long line OF
illuslrious patriots who have occn
pied the Presidential chair-au hon
or to themselves and an honor to
the great people over whom they
presided-and then think of this
salary grabber," Garfield, sneakiDg
back to the Treasury and carrying
the stolen money home And yet
the Radicals are going to vote for
him to occupy the seat of Washing
ton A majority of the American
people will never do that thing-not
while they have Hancock for whom
TO cast their ballots.
The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1880-09-08

these facts, he felt perfectly justified IN
authorizing every man The heard him,
and considered himself a gentleman TO
say that whoever charged him with be-
ing the candidate of banks, bonds or
railroads, or the candidate of anything
or anybody except that of the regular
democratic party of Tennessee, was a
base slanderer and a scoundrel, aud too
much of a coward to resent It.
WHY THIS WAR ON RAILROADS
Have they been of no benefit to your
oountry9 Would any sane man be will
ing to see them all removed from the
State? Answer these qustions. II there
was not single line or foot of railroads
in the State, would it net justify us in
creating a debt as large as the present to
get the system we now have2 The city
of Cincinnati spent twenty millions to
get one road coming into Tennessee,
that the Southern, and We have aperfect
system through the whole State, the
conveniences and value of which no man
can estimate.
The fact is, fellow-citizens, all these
attacks by cliques and factions on clas-
ses of people are but the outcroPpings
of the spirit of communism which is
raising its head in all parts Of the land.
Before l was born it assailed foreign
born citizens in the form of alien laws,
and attached the right of free speech
and free printing presses in the form of
sedition laws. Since was born and in
the day of my young manhood, it again
assaulted and attacked our foreign born
population, and even dared to attack the
great doctrines of freedom of religion
by assaulting the Catholics, theirs deem
ed to be the weakest religious denomi-
nation.
CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.
In district in which the Catholic ele-
ment scarcely existed, and with not a
corporal guard OF foreign born citizens,
1 erected and bore the standard or civil
and religious freedom, and carried it to
great victory. New it is sssailing
railroads because the numerical majori-
ty is supposed to be against them. But
this is not all. In the platform Of my
competitor, Edwards, It is laid down
that the water, the air and the earth are
free to all men, and that no man has
right to own more land than he can cul-
tivate This is but another form in
which is foroshadOwed an effort to array
land rulers against land owners. The
democratic party has in all times past
had to shoulder these questions, and it
will do so in the future. 1t had to shoul-
der the attacks of the fanatics against
the institutions Of a seetlSn. When the
war has been made en- the poor, the
feeble and thO oppressed, it was the
great democratic party which marched
up to their relief, and when it is made
on any ether class, its duty is the same.
Standing on the platform of great
principles erected fer IL by its great
founder and apostle Thomas Jefferson,
equal and exact justice TO all men, ex-
elusive privileges TO none, it bids def
| ance to the storms Of faction and the
passions of the hour. Relying on the
second sober thought, Of the people,
which is always right and ever efficient,
it stands as a rock Of protection to rich
and poor, and To msH of all ranks and
conditions in life.

FLRM ZOE TIE RIGHT.

The Democratic State Convention
at Nashville was made up Of inteIli-
gent men. The situation in Tenne
see was thoroughly understood. Fhe
strength of the Republican party in
Tennessee was felt and recognized.
The probable strength Of the Repu-
diators was also fully recognized.
With all the lights before the dele
gates; the Convention acted delioer-
ately. The situation was well un-
derstood. The question was grave
one-it was simply this: Should the
Democratic party of the State sur
render to Savage and Wilson and
consent to the Reputation of the
State debt, or should majority of
the party assert its principles and
adopt platform in accordance with
those principles? The Convention
determined to do right and risk the
consequences, 1t now behooves
every Democrat in the State who is
a Democrat from principle, to stand
by the nominee of his party The
heresy of Republication must sooaer
or later be eradicated from the poIi-
tics of the State, and the sooner u
is done the sooner will prosperity
come TO our people. If Wilson
should be successful and a majority
of No.Tax nembers elected to the
Legislature it will only postpone the |
settlement of the debt and lead rs
into further trauble. The right thing
to do is to elect John v. Wright
Governor, elect State credit legis.
lature add settle the State ebt
question now and forever. This
course will bring 8 tide of prospect
ty into Tennessee which will aston
ish and delight every patriot in the
land. Reputation will bring shame
and disaster and poverty to the peo-
ole and ruin every mining, quarry
inc and manufacturing enterprise in
the State.

DEMOCRACY TESTED.

The Democratic party had controlled
the country for many years prior to the
war, and that it survived even the fierce
and cruel test of great civil war and
come out with its organization. Its
leaders had called its scattered hosts to-
gether, and State after State fell into
line, until it got control of the House,
and then of the Senate, and in 1876 it
had elected the President, and it would
do So again this year, and Gen. Han
cock would take his seat. No more
8to-7 control was to be tolerated, but
the voice of the people was to be heed
ed and obey6d. Since the Democracy
had got control of the two houses Of
Congress expenditures had been reduced
greatly, and the work was to go on until
the Democratic idea Of true economy
was reached. He said that the Demo
cratic candidate for President (Hancock)
has a record as a soldier and States
man of which his whole country might
well feel proud. No stain of suspicion
even attached to his name,
