A FIGHT FOR a JUDGRsHIP.
The Democratic Aspirant Has the Ad-
vantage of Possession.


CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. ia dispatch to
the Times from Butte, Mont, says: 'There
was a sensational scene in the district court
yesterday afternoon when Mr.. Mediation,
democrat, and Mr.. Hamilton, republican,
rivals for the Office of judge appeared at the
court house, each determined TO mount the
bench. 1t had been anticipated that there
would be serious trouble, but
this was averted by the tempo
rary surrender of the republican
aspirant. Sheriff Lloyd republican, had
large number of deputies on hand, and the
democratic sheriff followed suit. The city
marshal, acting under orders from the
mayor, swore in twenty special policemen,
who were stationed about the court room
armed with Winchesters. Judge De Wolfe,
after hearing the arguments of the counsel
for the contestants, declined to decide
which had the right to the seat, and
adjourned the court.
M'HATTON ON THE BENCH.
mo sooner had Judge DsWelfe vacated
the bench than J. j. Mediation, the demo-
cratic 1udge-elect. stepped up and took the
seat, ordering Sheriff-elect Sullivan TO re-
convene the court. His orders were obeyed
to the letter, and Sheriff Lloyd and Mr.
Hamilton, the republican claimant of the
judgeship:took their departure from the
court room. Mr.. Hamilton will go to the
capitol and apply to the supreme court for
a writ of mandamus against Mr.. Mediation
to compel him to show by what right he has
assumed the position of judge. A large
number of prisoners convicted at the last
term of court are to be arraigned for SEN
tence, and Judge Mediation will un-
doubtedly order Sheriff-elect Sullivan to
bring the prisoners into court. As the Keys
to the jail are in Sheriff Lloyd's hands there
will probably be trouble"

WADE HAMPTON TOO QUICK.
A scathlng Letter Sent Out On ar
Erroneous Raport

WASHINGTON. Nov. 13.-A report
reached Columbia, 8. c., day OF two ago
that two weeks ago B. F. Clayton, All in
dependent, was appointed postmaster for
Columbia. vice Wade Hampton Giboes,
who Mr.. Wanamaker had promised not to
remove until his term expired. The report
or the alleged appointment reached Senator
Wade Hampton, who is now on hunt in
Mississippi. and without waiting to inquire
into the correctness, the senator wrote the
following letter, which was made public to-
day:
GEN ALLEN. MISS, Nov 8, 1889.
Hon. John WanaDLaEer:
SIR-The enclosed extract from a South Caro-.
ma paper has caused me great surprise, for
perhaps you may remember, if your memory is
not treacherous, your assurance to me a few
days.ago that hr. Gibbes should not be removed
until the expiration of his term in February
next. Not only did you do this. but you volun-
tarlly assured me that inasmuch as Columbia
was my postofflce, you would when the sue
cessor OF Mr.. Gibbes was to be appointed, con
suit me. 1t is a matter of small importance to
me- who takes the place of Mr. Gibbes, but as |
informed him in passing through Columbia of
the promise you had made, you may perhaps
understand how your action has placed me in a
false position. But it is fortunate for me that
Mr.. Gibbes will know that | at least told
him the truth, though was grievously deceived
by believing what was said to me. l shall know
statements emanating from the same source
The newspapers state that besides managing
the great department over which you preside
you are running a Sunday school in Phfladel-
phla and it occurs to me you might with profit
to yourself select a most appropriate subject of
lecture to your pupils instructive of Anauias
and Sapphira. This would give you fine field
for your eloquence in explaining to your young
charges the Importance of confning themselves
to the truth, except when some fancied ad-
vantage might be obtained over political op-
ponent. am, your obedient servant,
WADE HAMPTON.
WANAMAKER SURPRISED.
Postmaster General Wanamaker expresses
surprise at the letter. He was 80 surprised
when he received it that he did not reply to
it. He has, however, upon its publication
to-day, telegraphed Senator Hampton that
Clayton has not been commissioned as post
master at Columbia. and that if Senator
Hampton has anything to say about il it
will be received with consideration at the
postoffice department
Postmaster General Wauamaker will
probably make no reply to the letter be-
yond the telegram he sent to-day Senator
Hampton, he says, was mistaken in think
ing the change had been made at Columbia,
whereas it had not been. The fact seems to
be that the republican successor had been
selected, but not formally appointed.

The Government Apt to Grant the
Concession Asked For.
CRY OF MEXICO, Nov 13-Ellis, the
Texas negro, who proposed to colonize
American negroes in Mexico, is still in this
city, striving to secure u concession from
the government in the interest of
the proposed colony. 1t is asserted
that Gen. Pacheco, minister of
public works, is greatly interested in
Ellis plans, and is heartily in favor of
granting the concessions. Other members
of the government are also said to favor it,
so there seems to be little doubt that the
concessions will be given and the colony
established. The scheme, however, win
meet with strong opposition on the part OF
the Mexican people, and negro colonists are
not likely to receive a very encouraging
welcome. The feeling is general that in the
Indian peon class Mexico has as large an
element Of a different race as IL can find
