THOSE SWORN STATEMENTS.
One Of tha Authors to be Denoupc ed.
5a Facts 10 be Considered. 81

Facts 10 be Considered. VI
The sworn statements OF Mr.. I Mercer, Of
Pittsburgh, and Mr.. Lewis, Of Martins Ferry,
in yesterdays ISrELLlGEScrR, repeating
utterances OF J. II. Goods In regard 10 his
sentiments on the tariff, struck the support.
ers OF Mr.. Good like u thunder clap 10 clear
sky. Here was credible testimony, strongly
corroborated, that! Mr. Good had declared
himself In favor Of free trade, aud It was
necessary that something should DO done 10
counteract It's telling effect. With this object,
IN attack upon the character OF Mercer, the
ailiant, will be made In this mornings
Itgbter. But II should DO borne In
mind that Mr.. MERGERS statement does
not rest upon Its own bottom. II Is
corrIborated by the unimpeachable tesli.
iiOny Of Mr.. VIM. Lewis, who is we'll known
In Wheeling, and whose character for truth
and veracity the Democratic leaders will
hardly dare assail. When tho publication
was made yesterday, workmen and other
interested parties recalled the current rumor
1t the time the Wood turiir bill WAS pending
in Congress, 10 the elect that MIR. Good had
declined to Sign the remembrance against II,
and expressed sentiments similar 10 those nj.
tribuitd 10 him In MIR. MERGERS affidavit.
BESIDES all this, whatever may be said against
Mercer, and there are few mel concerning
WHOM someone cannot DO found to make
derogatory statements, abundant testimony
can be found to his trustworlhlness under
oath. s1.-F .!.,
Messrs. Il @. Cracraft and W. l.. Hearne
yesterday went through the Riverside mill,
where Mercer formerly worked, seeking per.
sons who knew him, and who would express
an unfayorable opinion OF him. They reached
the mill at an carly hour, shortly after the men
bad yon0 to work, aud before many Of them
had had oil opportunity to read the morning
papers. Some Of the men made expressions
not favorable TO Mercer, but a number OF
them atterward said that their rOmarks had
been given undue Significance; that they be.
lieyed Nercor 10 be credible witness, aud
had no doubt that the substance OF his
affidavit yesterday morning was true. The
| TACT that he Is a disinterested witness should
also have its due weight. 1890 ~
OF coure the lar Ter the atli lavt hurts the
more violent will be the attack OH theau no :.
But pay particular attention 10 two poin,s:
Does Mr.. Good ca.egorically deny tina. he
made statements substantially similar to the
one quored? And does he say any thing, or
any one for him, about Mr.. vii.
liam Lewis, who so strongly cor
roborate, the state l,ent OF Mr.. Mercer? III .se
should not be lost sight OF in the heat OF the
denunciation heaped upon the devoted head
VI Mercer. As to the dignity and good taste
Of the sort OF an attack made In answer TO q
charge which could easily have been denied
by MIR. Good under oath II not true, We have
nothing to say. @ -

absence from his post of duty is .
matter of record. His disgraceful
drunkenness is generally known.
That he was arrested by policeman
and locked up in cell in one of the
Washington City prisons he does
not deny. His explanation of it, to
wit that he had been poisoned, was
such bold, bare~faced falsehood, as
to be an insult to the intelligence of
his friends and supporters.
But after treating his supporters
and the people of the district as if
they are set of ignorant fools, and
feeling that reelection on his
own merits and upon his of
fetal record is moral i'm.
possibility, he hurries off to
Washington to beg money to be
used in securing his reelection
through corrupt means. His appeal
to the Congressional committee for
aid in district with eight thousand
Republican majority, is an insult to
the committee and the whole Repub-
lican party of the country His
attempt to overawe and trample
under foot the intelligent, honest
Republicans of this district who are
protesting against him as their Rep
resentatiVe in Congress, by using
money for the corruption of voters,
is infamous, and will be rebuked in
November. The people of this dis
trict, the Republicans of the
district are capable of guards
ing their own interests without
the aid of contributions from Federal
office>holders, and there is not money
enough on Wall street to reconcile
them to being represented in Cons
gress by one who de6les the carpets
of his room with his own filth, or
grins from behind the bars of
prison. Houk may succeed in get
ting some money, but he will never
get enough to buy sufficient nuns
Der of votes to re-elect him to Con-
gress from the second district of
Tennessee.

THE "PIZENED MAN IN SEARCH OF
FUNDS.

A few weeks ago L. G. Houk, in
his bullying note to Col j. B. Brown
low, SAID that there was no serious
division" in the Republican party in
this Congressional district. Exer~
cising his talent for braggadocio, he
has boosted publicly wherever he has
appeared on the stump, that his cleo
ton was certain, and that his major
ity would be very large. But not
withstanding his Boosting, he was 30
sooner nominated by his convention,
made up as it was by his peculiar
methods, than be rushed off to
Washington, where, according
to the New York papers, he is APP
pealing to the Republican Congress
sional committee for pecuniary aid in
his canvass. If what he has hereto-
fore stated be true, he has no use for
funds, and he is perpetrating a fraud
on the Congressional Republican
committee. If he does need funds
to secure his election, then his boasts
are the idle vaporings of desperate
politician who feels that his lease of
power is fast drawing to a close, with
but little prospect of being renew
ed or extended.
The latter theory is, perhaps, the
correct one. He fully apprec ates
the fact that his awful record cannot
be defended. His continued
