, pondent to-day saw Mr.. ]. H. Crozier, ex'
Prosecuting Attorney Of Monroe, and who
: is one of the many victims Of Governor
Wilson'S false promises, and interviewed
him on that subject, during which he re,
yealed some startling facts.
.Is It true, Mr.. Crozier," | inquired,
"that you were one Of the jealous sup
porters, In your section Of the State, OF L.
!. w. Wilsontin his struggle for the Guber-
: Material nomination."
"Yes sir; as an honest confession Is good
for the soul, blush TO own that 1t is true /;
that I spent good deal OF both time and
money to aid In his nomination, and there
Is no act Of my life which SO deeply re-
gret and for which have an equal cause
for shame"
pardon me, Mr.. Crozier, your LANGUAGE
L
upon what you base it?"
Certainly sir, ] have no objection to
answering any question that you or any
other citizen may feel disposed to ask,
concerning this matter, and IS mn n
Democrat OF the old Jetlersonian stamp,
believing honesty, integrity and COM
potency to be indispensable requisites OF a
mans qualification for any important
office, and this being the age Of promised
political reform, feel 1t my duty as an
honest citizen TO bring to light and expose
the serious faults Of any man occupying or
aspiring to any high and responsible posi-
ton; ! therefore will tell you the whole
story"
/ THE PROMISE MADE.
"At the Third District Congressional
Convention. held at Charleston, in March,
iSSs, Mr.. Wilson informed me that he ex.
pected to be a candidate for Governor at
the next State Convention held fotinomi-
mating State officers, when gayo him to
understand that whatever aid l might be
ableto give him in the contest he should
have. Later on, think about the 1st Of
January, 1884, wrote him, in substance,
that II he should be successful In his as
piration to the Executive chair, and had
no other one in, view whom he might de-
sire 10 appoint to the position oi secre-
tary OF State, for reasons, unnecessary to
relate here, would be very glad to have
the said position, but his decision in the
premises would not effect my friendship
toward him, or my suppotin the slightest
