The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1892-10-28

One more chapter in the history Of
John III. McDowell's manipulation.
Of the Third party was revealed BY
the publication last Sunday of the
letters of Wins and Hill, two Repub
lican bosses. The first named is edi.
tor of the Republican at Knoxville
aud the latter is National Committee.
man. These letters state that for a
consideration of $15, 900 and the
promise of the United States Senator
ship, Mcdowell had agreed TO bring
Buchanan out as an independent and
thereby throw the office of governor
to Winstead and the electoral vote to
Harrison. These letters further state
that $4,000 of the amount has
already been paid. This publication
has created an immense sensation
among the prominent Republicans,
especially in Knoxville, where the
disclosures were made. Treachery is
freely charged on Wins and Hill, on
the former more especially. Hill and
Mcdowell are both out in cards deny
ing in part what the letters state, but
neither deny any material fact ex-
cept the payment of the cash; every
thing else specifically acknowledged.
That there is a deal is admitted
even by Mcdowell, and Hill says he
signed the letter, but that it was
written by WINS. If this fusion has
been made (and there seems to be no
reason to doubt IT'D Mr. Buchanan is
running in the interest of Winstead.
The main effort, however, on Nc
Dowells part will be to elect Iegis-
ature that will send Mcdowell to the
United States Senate, where he would
complete his political evolutions by
joining the Republican party. The
reason why Third party and Republi-
can orators have been so careful of
late Of each others feelings is now
perfectly apparent. Ownby, when
he spoke here, patted the farmers on
the back, as it were, and told them
how badly Democracy had treated
them and Gov. Buchanan. What
has become of the party of "reform"
when a fusion is made and acknowl-
edged with the party which every
thinking man must know is response
BILE for a most shameful use of the
taxing power to the almost utter ruin
of the agricultural classes? Another
most humiliating feature of the deal
is that the "party Of the farmers" as
these Third party men have attempted
to make the world belive it to be,
has been sold like so many cattle by
Mcdowell for his own aggrandize-
ment Their loyalty to what they
believe is their calling and their 10y
atty to Gov. Buchanan is made the
avenue by which they are to be
traded like chattels. Never has a set
of men exhibited more faith and con-
fidence than the followers Of John
Mcdowell and John Buchanan and
never was confidence more shamefully
betrayed than by this pair. One is
probably the dupe of the other, but
the effect is the same.

IT is reported that T. V. Neal, the
Populite candidate for congress in this
district, had an appointment to speak
at Somerville Monday, but there were
only four men to hear him when he
came to fill the appointment and he
did not speak. Probably the DISPOSE
ton of his audiences not to material
ize is-the reason he has failed to visit
Covington. The truth of the matter
is, Mr.. Neal would serve his country
just as well, and himself much better,
It he would withdraw all his appoint
mants and return home. The fact is.
he may be a very nice man and all
that, but there is no congressional
timber in him. He will find on the
8th of November that his votes will
be like the Somerville audience, they
will not materialize.

thousand, thus making the price re-
ceived by Mcdowell for his followers
81 each. While this is much better
price than that claimed by Mcdowell,
it is still very low price for the votes
of honorable men who stand we'll
among their neighbors and in the
business world and who claim to be
"Jeffersonian Democrats" Reflect a
moment, gentlemen of the Third
party, and see if you don't think so
yourselves.

Mr.. L. d. HAMMER is out in a
manly card announcing his retire
ment from the editorship of the True
Light. The card has the right ring
to it, which is in keeping with the
high-toned nature, upright honesty
and undaunted courage of the man.
Mr.. Hammer says he entered the con.
test in good faith as Democrat, and
now that the party has spoken, ac-
cepts the result and is out of active
politics until the next Democratic pr
mary two years hence. We would give
his card in full but from the fact that
the copy of the True Light in which
it appeared reached us too late for 1T

Ben will sulk, stop right still and
give up the race, but Grover will be

SCRANTON, Pa, July l5.--General
Master Workman Powderly has adj
dressed a letter to President Harrison
and another to Governor Pattison call
ing attention to the fact that the laws
OF the United States and OF Pennsyi-
vania have been violated by the in
vasion of the Pinkertons on July 9th.
In his letter to the President Mr..
Powderly points out that an armed
body sailing under the United States
flag and not acting under the legal
authority of the state or any county or
municipality had come up the Monon.-
gahela river and opened fire on the
citizens of Homestead, killing a number
OF persons. Mr.. Powderly says that
whoever usurped the functions OF the
commander in chief OF the army OF the
United States in ordering these men TO
invade Pennsylvania is guilty OF treason
and should be punished accordingly,
and he therefore asks for an investi-
CATION.
In his letter to the governor he points
out the illegally OF the acts OF the
Pinkertons in operating as an armed
body without the governors permits
sion, and asks that steps be Immediate
ly taken to effect that punishment. BE
goes over the same points covered in his
letter to tho President, and asserts the
constitutional right Of the workmen at
Homestead to defend themselves against
an unauthorized invasion OF armed men.
Treason to the state, he maintains, has
been committed by Mr.. Frick and Robert
Pinkerton, who alone arc responsible
for bringing in the armed men. And
he asks that the punishment fixed by
law be melted out to the transgressors.
Another point OF Mr.. Powderly's is that
as the armed men came altogether from
outside the state, and as such could not
hold office, they could not be sworn in
as deputies.
