Congressman I.atimcr called to sec us O,
Saturday. He expressed great deal O
surprise that the papers should have credit
cd him with so silly q proposition rs TO d.
VIDE tho important post offices between an
anti aud Illlmanitc, but lrt th,m share il
half and half alike. What he did say was that
where the people would come together and
not make fight on him he would recon-
mend one for the postmaster and the other
for an assistant, and the idca he saya, met
the approval Of Senator Butler when men,
stoned to him. But il seems that some of
The papors nrc determined to bclittlc him
and make him appear ridiculous, no matter
at what expense of the truth and regard
less OF how great tax upon ones CrCduli;y
Anderson Peoples Advocate.
we Thought at the time that there must
nave ncen some misunderstanding or will
iul misrepresentation of Congressman Int
imers language in this matter. Since he
has stated what he did actually say, we
snail watch aud see if the papers which
nave done him injustice will make the nee.
eseary correction. The SENTINEL had
nearly half column on the subject and
came very near being humorous in its able
treatment of it. 1t will be too bad, If the
SEHriNE:i, FOR the sake of Justice, will have
20 say That 1t was mistaken, and that all of
lis elaborate logic, humOr and wit does not
apply IN this instance. But the SENTINEL
can preserve the compound and fling it at
Governor Tillman at its earliest conycn
ience.~-Peoplcs Journal.

eoitor OF The journal upon this matter. He

nounccmcnt That cX-Judgc &. L. Townsend

uOiican Judge by the republican gsIaturc

ton, along with all the other judges in the |
state, was dccinrca illegal. In 1878 the
democratic Legislature elected Judge IIud- !
son in his place.
in 1882, Townsend supported Gsecnbacll-
or Mci.anc for Governor AGAINST Uuph
Thompson.
In 1889, Townsend was an applicant for

+ Il
The administration of President
Cleveland has been in Office less than 2
weeks, and a tariff organ thus extlaims:
meantime the unconstitutional pro
tective system, under which this eoun-
try has prospered, remains undisturb-
cdr Nobody the impetuous tariff
organ continues, s'has yet made a
move SINCE Mr.. Cleveland was
inaugurated, although the wild
excitement Of the esteemed enemy
in the last campaign, and the
declaration Of its platform, aroused
the impression that there was nothing
involved in the election but the tariff
iniduity, and that it was SO horribly
ubiquitous that it would not be allow
ed to rest over night if the Democrats
once got into power
There is vulgar opinion in this
country that Congress, and not AID
ministrations, make or amend tariff
laws. With the best disposition ii
the world, the Cleveland ADMINISTRATION
can do nothing to mitigate the iniqui-
ty Of the tariff. A Democratic Senate
is in session, it is true; but it has nc
power to legislate. When Congress
shall meet in December tho eager de-
sire Of this tariff organ for 4 thorough
reform Of the revenue laws will be
gratified with as little delay as may BIZ
consistent with proper elaboration.
Possibly the organ refers to the fact
that the Harrison proclamation of EN-
barge against columbia and Venezue
IA has not yet been revoked. But Ii
il moi be impatient. This, too, vii
come ia due season.

has been working for Mr.. Hughes,

The assassination made his good es-

passed through the jaw and lodged in
