Correspondence OF the Gazette.
BLOSSOM PRAIRIE, May l5.--We
have read with pleasure your Wash.
ington letter in yesterdays GAZETTE
In defense of Mr.. Morrison and his
bill. We fully agree with the Wash
ington correspondent that the defeat
of Morrisons tariff bill will be de-
cided triumph for him. Mr.. Morrison
| Is wise man, deliberate far
seeing man, nd man OF Will and
| determination. He has acted wisely
I, and sincerely; he has shown his
interest in the nation and his party,
and he will, we believe, continue to
act in future as he has done in the past.
| We believe Mr.. Morrison to be like
unto truth-he may be crushed to the
ground, but he will rise again and re-
bound higher when he does rise, which
he will certainly do. He has made
already for himself an enviable name
--one that will doubtless he honored
when he is no more.
What has Morrison proposed and
| tried to do for the American people,
especially the poorer working classes?
Let those people, both Democrats and
Republicans, study his propositions
and answer for themselves. Your cor
respondent Is right, and is borne out
in the declaration that "the people
have only begun to study and compre-
bend the meaning of the discussion
suspended for time in congress-"
Truly il is "a new subject for the gem
Grafton of voters,n and the genera
ton of voters" will study the subject
more fully; the voters will understand
that subject better and more thor
oughly even before the Chicago con-
vention meets in July, and we do
hope and trust that Mr.. Morrison will
be named in that convention to lead
us In the next pre- sidential campaign.
We have great confidence in him. We
believe If he is nominated for the
presidency at Chicago, and
the Democrats will adopt
a reduction Of the tariff platform,
he will lead the party triumphantly to
success in November. With all rever-
ence for MIR. rilden and the opinions
of Mr., Ti!den's advocates, we say that
Morrison is as strong today in the
party as Mr.. Tilden, If the Democrats
would only speak out and say so. He
vii be stronger.
ihl5 Iclitlnu5 us VI Mlul has betn
snid in The GAZETTE by your Monta-
que, GAINESVILLE and other correspond
ents in reference tn Hon. ID. Il. Culber-
son and Judge j. q. Chenoweth. Why
exchange an experienced man in con-
gress for an inexperienced one? Does
not Mr.. Culberson represent the PEG.
pie? If he does, it will be imp0litic to
make change SO long as CulbersOn is
, willing to serve us, and he certainly
and necessarily understands and CONF
prehends his duties in congress much
r better than Mr.. Chenoweth.
If Mr.. Culberson is Judge
, Chenoweth's equal in intellect aud
: energy the judge will have to serve in
congress as many sessions as Culbersou
q has already served before he will be as
o efficient member as Culberson, and
! we read in the Washington CORE
spondence of THE GAZETTE that con-
gressmen concede that Mr.. Culberson,
in force of intellect and expression, has
no superior in either house of congrt : ).
y We repeat that If Mr.. Culberson repre-
sents his constituents as they should
u be, and he is willing to serve US longer
in congress, we can't see the wisdom
& OF sending Judge Chenoweth to con.
gress in his stead. This fact, too,
should be impressed upon the voters
OF Cul berson's district, so they may
It act wisely in selecting a representa-
8 tive in November next.
