The Fraud Admitted.

The Fl. C T. publishes a letter taken
from the Rogersville Herald in de-
fence OF the Hawkins county fraud.
Below is what is said on that subject
"You further state that Hawkins county
was instructed for Mr.. Hacker. Did they abide
by the Instructions? No. Now ii you will
please examine the seeretary's report you will
find you are not correct. It will show that the
delegation was not instructed. motion was
made to instruct them, and the chairman said,
If you instruct one set Of delegates you will
have to instruct ALL The record will show the
motion was withdrawn. motion was made
by Mr.. Williams to ascertain how the delegates
OF the county stood between Hacker and Brown,
which was acted upon without second, and as
all knew, only as jest, by the members.
Now Mr.. Editor, do you call that instructing
delegates how TO cast their votes? That only
showed the feelings OF the delegates as to how
they stood between the two men, which was
not binding upon the delegates, as they were
left to act according to the will expressed by
the delegates, or otherwise. Well, who is ia
blame, Mr.. Brown? No. Mr.. Campbell? No
Nobody but the delegates who refused to obey
the expressed win OF the county delegates"
BY what authority did the Chair
man hold that if they instructed fol
one candidate they would have to in
struct for all? The ruling was an un-
heard of proceeding. 1t was made to
prevent instructions for Hacker. A
motion was made to ascertain how the
delegates stood between Brown and
Hacker and was "acted Up0n." 1t was
binding upon the convention, If acted
upon, whether there was a second OF
not. But this correspondent tries tc
avoid the effect Of it by "a ing it was
jest. Why would they be TESTING
about a matter of this kind? No, il
was made in earnest, but your in
structed delegates made it a jest and
spurned it with contempt. And SC
the people will treat your nominees
in the coming election. The whole
fraud is admitted in the last sentence
In answering the question, "who is t.
blame?" he says, "Nobody bit the dele
gates 1cho refused TO obey the expressed
uH Of the county Delegates" Their
some one was to blame, and it was thu
delegates who refused to obey the ca
pressed aciU of the people they were
sent to represent. When they acte(
in violation of the expressed will o
the people, they acted without au
thority, and their action was a frauC

The writ Of replevin is directed to a

he was commanded to do in the writ.

to the cohorts of party? The man who
would leave himself open to attack by
making such q charge, without first
finding out that it was true, is too ig-

Every criminal court has II "retir-

presentment or indictment can not
be apprehended and arrested, after
a few terms of the court, the case is
retired" This is done simply be-
cause the defendant cannot be found.
How pre-eminent must be the qualif-
cations OF a candidate for Attorney

be retired when the defendant was

blood-curdling title "AnOther Lie Nail

Some Of the Republican papers arc
terribly alarmed about fraudulent
tickets. There are hundreds of good,
honest, conscientious Republicans
throughout the district, who will not
abide by the fraudulent convention,
and who desire to vote for st, John

ton it will be necessary to have Re-
publican tickets with St. John and
Burrows names ON them. We give
this timely notice and now the fraud

tons, Our correspondents have some
times been severe, but we are not re-
sponsible for their opinions. The
Jonesboro' Herald Il Tribune, which
is now edited principally by candidate
II. I, Campbell, and certain kinky-
headed youth who may yet have to be
noticed, seems anxious for personal
controversy. In the last issue of that
paper they accuse THE COMET OF lying,
and charge Mr. Burrow, its former edi-
tor with trying "to deceive voters by
frank, deception and general rascali-
ty." No doubt the young men think
that is terrific language. THE COMET
will have to do one of two things
kick back or fight. We are afraid to
fight; "he that tustles with dog is
apt to get beslubbered." We are not
half as brave as Col. Brown used to be.
Therefore we can only shoot back at
long range and if we happen to hit
the boys they must not get mad-they
did it themselves.

The II. g. T. says the newspapers
that are denouncing the fraudulent
convention have never dared to make
any definite charge, editorially, in re-
gard to the matter. The II. g. T..
knows that we have editorially reiter-
ated every material charge made in
the article on the Hawkins county
fraud. We charge now, that there
was a combination, or trade, or dicker,
or whatever you may call it, between
Col. A. j. Brown and Mr.. H T. Camp
bell and their friends, by which each
was to throw his strength to the other
and in this way secure the nomination
of both. If they will sue THE COMET
for libel, and swear the above charge
is false, we agree to convict them of
perjury. We hope that is definite
enough.

The Jonesboro Herald & TRIBUNE is
holding its self out as the herald Of
truth and fairness. The following in
the last issue is specimen
"What bourbon sheet was it in this judicial
circuit that so viciously assaulted the character
of, and joined in the Democratic bombardment
of the late President Garfield in the national
campaign of 1880? Why it was Mugwump Bur
rows COMET"
If the man who wrote that had been
careful, conscientious, and truthful,
he would haye examined the first
page of THE COMET last week and
found at the end of the date line these
words and figures; WHOLE No. 100.
That means that one hundred and
twenty COMETS have been printed /;
one a week and ffty-two a year would
make the age of the paper little over
two years and four months. In other
words, the first copy OF THECoMET was
printed March Is, 1884, yet here is the
temporary editor Of the II. & r., with
permanent disposition to lie, telling
what THE COMET did in 1880, foul
years before it had an existance. This
only shows what desperate traits those
who are trying to foist the fraud
