medical skill and ability as superintendent,
that there is a widespread and deep
seated feeling in this community and in
the State at large that the management of the
Insane Hospital, under the board of which
DR.. Harrison is president, is very Tar from
what it should be. And if what has been
published be not false, even the reports and
statements of DR.. Fletcher himself, this
opinion is measurably entertained by the
superintendent of the institution.

WE shall await with interest Judge Ayres's
action The indications last night, unfortu-
nately, were that he would not be greatly in
the way of the Democratic fraud. It is as no.
torious as that the sun shines that the courts
order, under which the recount was had, has
been openly and insolently defed. "Sim" Coy
and John E. Sullivan, watchers, have been
loud -mouthed in conducting the Dem
ocratic end of the business, although
the law expressly says of the witnesses
that "they shall conduct themselves in
a quiet and orderly manner, and
shall not interrupt said commissioners while
in the discharge of their duties" Every man
in the commissioners room knows that the
law and the order of the court were willfully
and continuously violated. It is also known
that violence was used to break open the
ballot-box after the recount had been COM
pleted, as is alleged by at least one commits
sioner The fact that the ballots had been re-
sealed in the bags, and then locked up in the
box, one key being given to representative
of each party, is proof conclusive that
the recount had been finished, and
that the Democratic claim that there
was an agreement to re-examine
certain ballots is an afterthought and plain,
palpable lie. The recount is still within the
authority and custody of the court Only a
part of the duty has been finished What is
needed is for the Republican lawyers to pre-
pare afidavits setting forth these facts
which should have been done yesterday in
time to present last evening-and then let the
public sec whether Judge Ayres cares any
thing for the authority Of his court. No
just judge, with keen sense of his
responsibility to the public and a jealous
care for the honor of the court temporarily
committed to his charge, could fail to take
cognizance Of such facts, and, if proved to
teach the contemners that there resides
power in the breast Of the court to compel
obedience to its orders and to enforce respect
for the forms of law and the requirements of
justice. The facts should be iudicially
brought before Judge Ayers for, unless he is
belied in the common judgment, he would be
found alongside of Judge Norton in maintain
ing the honor and credit of his court.

THE Atlanta Constitution, which was fast

IT is high time that the loud -mouthed
brawler and braggart, "Sim" Coy, be made to
know his place. After his tool had broken
open the ballot-box yesterday, and his two
tools had managed to find enough alleged bal
lots to count in Mr.. Ripley, the "boss" came
staggering down the main entrance of the
courthouse, with his coat over his
arm, saying in his own beautiful and ex-
pressive language: "By -, we've got our
man in" This is the sort of ''boss" under
which such Democrats as Thomas A. Hen
bricks, Joseph E. Mcdonald, William Ell. En-
glish, Isaac P. Gray, VIM. Henderson, Oscar
b. Hord, and many scores and hundreds of
reputable. honorable men, quietly permit
themselves to be marshaled. We must believe
there will be an open revolt in the Democratic
party against the insolent domination of this
saloon hummer and ward politician. Merely
as partisan question, the Democracy cannot
afford to allow the fellow to have '..head" for
ever. Each one of his high-handed pieces of
sccundrelism is disgusting the public, and if
he is kept at the head of the local Democratic
party as its "boss, )" the people of the State
will rise up and sweep the party out of power
with whereas, electing Legislature which
will efectually curb the power of such men in
our city administration.

The Associated Press dispatches yester-
day gave few of the particulars of the kill
ing of liquor-seller, in GrundY county, Ten
nessee, in his attempt to shoot citizen who
liquors. There, as here, the traffic defes law,
and will resort to any means to carry on its
business. This is only one of almost daily &C.
currences in the mountain regions of Ten
nessee Kentucky and Georgia. Methods
differ in different localities In the mountain
districts they resort to intimidation, by shoot
ing witnesses and officers; in Cincinnati to
boycotting juries and witnesses, while in
Indianapolis they meet in open daylight
and resolve to disobey the law, and appoint a
committee to wait on the Governor and State
officers to secure their favor in advance The
animus is the same everywhere. But this
cannot continue. The liquor power must be-
come master more absolutely or it must sub
NIT to law. At present its attitude is one of
defiance and insolence The American peo-
pie have borne this long and patiently but
will they continue to bear it? The answer to
this question will be heard in the near future,
and he is deaf who does not hear the rumbling
of an approaching storm which shall put the
traffic under the absolute control Of the Ma.
ton, or reduce it to the ranks of a law-abiding
institution, if it is not swept from the face of
the earth by an outraged people

Mr. HAM GRIFFIN, Mary Anderson's STEP
father, is quoted as saying: "We are in a good
position to be indifferent to what is said of us.
If business is bad in any city we shall simply not
appear there again. and if it is bad in all the
cities we visit we will simply retire" Possibly
before taking this seriously it might be we'll for
Miss Mary's admirers to consult with that lady
in regard to what ''we' mean to do. So far as
the public is concerned. there is no good reason
why Mr.. Griffin should not retire at once.
