case in the Supreme Court OF the
Knoxville bar Of Knox county Off
cials and Of over 1000 citizens OF that
county, with many other recommen.

The reasons assigned were Beeler's
age, his family relationship, and the
fact that Wolfenbarger did the killing
and was lynched, and that Beeler
acted under his influence.

Poetic Justice.

New York World
In Reeds raid on Dem cratic seats
he had the assistance OF some very
bitter and INSCRIPTIONS partisans in
the Committee on Elections. Four
of these.-Rowell, Cooper, Greenhalge
and c omstock-were especially mean
and insolent in their speeches and
their me hods. Cooper managed the
Langston-Venable case, and Roweii is
the man who led the mad crowd that
cried, "Give us another" and turn
Elliott, OF South Carolina, out of bis
seat in minute without debate.
These four men have been fifty pun
ished. They have been defeated by
their constituents The men whom
they turned out have been sent back
or Democr ts have been elected In
thei- places. Langston remains al
home. Elliott comes back.
All this is fine bit OF poetic justice
Before partisans begin another raiC

will be likely to remember that they
themselves must render an account t.

political complexion OF the Legislature

next Senate would be tie, and even
if only one or two OF them should do

Whitfield down to very small dimen-

membered that three hold-over Sena-
tors-namely, Plumb, Paddock and
Pettigrew-have decidedly independ'
ent tendencies. They voted against
the Mckinley bill, and similar action
on their part in the next Congress
would reduce the Senate to tie. Fur
thermore, looking ahead twoye RS, it is
seen that new Senators will be chosen
then in Rhode Island, Minnesota
Massachusetts,, Connecticut, New
