LOBBYISTS.
The Various Species Defined by Col.
Savage.

EDITOR STANDARD Leading Or
gals of candidates seeking the NOM
ination for Governor are at war in
regard to the question of lobbyism,
and allege that it will play a con-
spicuous part in this contest. 1t is
therefore important that lobbyism
and lobbyists should be correctly de-
fined, so that the people, knowing
what is commendable and what is
wrongful lobbyism, may the better
judge how the practice affects the
public welfare for good or evil.
That the public may know with
certainty what lobbyism is, l will
divide lobbyists into three classes, as
they have appeared to me in my
long legislative service.
LIST. Persons who, from patriotic
matters, by letter or by appearing in
person in the lobby, without pay or
hope of reward, advise members for
the public good. These are worthy
people, and their acts are commend
able.
I'd. Persons who frequent the Iobe
bies of Legislatures without any mo-
tive except to see and be seen.
These are comparatively harmless
people.
Sd. Avaricious, plausible, cunning
people, business men, attorneys, pol
iticians, eX-officials who know the
ropes, and who sell their talents,
characters, influence, and often their
candor and truthfullness, for money
or the hope and promise thereof, to
procure legislation in the interest OF
special classes, or to assist a person,
syndicate or ring in raid upon the
treasury by false evidence and mis-
representation of what is law and
equity. This class of lobby members
before Congress and Legislatures
have inflicted untold injury upon
the people within the last twenty
years.
There is in fact and in law no diff.
ference between paying a member
directly for his vote, and paying an
attorney or other lobby member by
personal, professional or political in
fiuence or misrepresentation of law
and equity to procure the vote. II
either case the vote is bought, direct
ly or indirectly.
Lobby" is defined by Webster al
ga small hall or waiting ROOM"
The lobby of the Tennessee Legis
lature is the spach occupied by sofa'
in the rear of the seats of members
and committee rooms adjacent.
Lobby member" is defined, "a
person who frequents the lobby o
a house of legislation"
No law license will authorize al
attorney, as such, to lobby a Legisla
ture, and the ablest attorney or poll
tieian, who attempts to influence leg
islation for a fee, sinks to the level o
the lowest lobbyist.
To show candidates and thei
friends that my acts and opinions arr
not the result of partiality for one o.
enmity to another, l request you t
publish the act recommended TO
passage by me, which is found in tn,
Appendix to the House Journal 70
1885, on page 81 of the Report of tn,
Tennessee Railroad Commission, a
follows:

tect the members Of the General As

NAsHvILLE's water works are
still in disabled condition, and the
city is running on very short water
supply. There is no water for street
sprinkling, and many Of the bath
rooms are cut off. The dust and
heat of Nashville are intolerable
with plenty Of water, and life must
be a weary burden there without it.

come a law, ifnot vetoed by Mr..
Harrison. The President, however,
in line with the bitter PARTISAN eIe-
ment of his party, is opposed to let
ting any public money come South

direct advantage therefrom. We

IT is a down right shame that the
census enumerators, who receive
two cents for each name they enroll,
should have failed to find forty or
fifty thousand people whom the
newspapers claim are residents of the
big town of Nashville. A year ago
Nashville papers were satisfied to
claim seventy-five thousand popula-
ton, but these claims have been
climbing at the rate of nearly a
thousand a week since until the first
Of June the population figures ranged
all the way between 10000 and 1885,
600. 1t is quite provoking though,
that the enumerators could find but a
fraction over seventy>two thousand
of these people. Chattanooga's sixty
or seventy thousands shrinks to thir,
ty-odd thousand under the official
count, and Knoxville, which has
been claiming all the way from fifty
to seventyfive thousand, shows up
thirty-three thousand.
