JUDGE BINKLEY AND JUDGE FouTE.
Judge Binkiey has profound respect
for Winsely and he deserves it as we'll
from everybody else, even from the
titled dignitaries of the capitol. The
Judge found it necessary to call on the
vivacious Assistant Postmaster General |
Hatton. He was welcomed and well |
pleased. He sought the presence of
other mighty dignitaries, but they |
were engaged or absent, or. gone TO |
see n man" Then Judge b. called at |
the Soldiers Home, OH general recep-
ton day and hour, but was instructed |
to call again even when everybody |
knew that the president was Off on
another "bum" for ten or twelve days |
in New York and the sea coast.
Judge Binkley was not well pleased.
La fact he carefully shook the dust
from his feet and set ont for Sherman.
He will never hold office at the cost of
oss of self-respect incurred while
hanging around the offices in which
greatness reposes and sucks its paws,
Or around carriages furnished by the
yovernmei that these splendid place
holders nay escape the necessity of en-
the vulgar herd in street
cars or on the pavement. Negroes 1
and laborers use the street cars, ami
INTO one OF these none but the mean
est clerks and market women or COM
mon people enter. Washington aris-
tocracy, as Judge Binkley learned,
can't be intruded upon by the vulgar
herd.
The candidature Of Judge Green p.
Foute OF Sherman for this Texan fed
eral judgeship put new aspect upon
he conflict and Sabin was Hurried
when he heard that Foute is and has
ever been sturdy Grant Republican,
hat he sat upon the bench with dis
honor many years in Ten
lesste, that he is an accomplished
awyer and scholar and, besides,
native Tennesseen
