WAsHINGToS, ian. 21.-Thr re-
port of the election committee puts
an end 10 Williams bluster and
bluff and e1tinguishes him political
". Thirteen out Of fifteen members
If the committee condemn him.
Jones, Democrat, who succeeded
OFerrell, and Woodland. d!ssented.
Ia explanation of his position. 10 rs
SAYS. he gave the Demo r. "the TN
eft of the doubt" which IN unsafls-
factory investigation of the case had
created in his mind. Woodland start
ed out with the belief that Williams
had good case. lie studied it aud
managed it as a lawyer would man
age d case in court. Whether or not
he will submit minority report Is
not known. Important business has
called him away and he may be ab-
sent until the date fixed for the vote
on the tariff bill-January 29th.
SETTLE CONGRATULATE.
Democrats generally heartily com
mend the action Of the election COM
mittee in the contest between Viii
liams and Settle. He has had numer-
GUS and etfusive congratulations from
the Democratic side of the House
Throughout the contest his bearing
has been admirable. He has man
aged his own case most skillfnIlv-
/ His brief, which has attracted the
attention of almost every lawyer III
the House, is strong, comprehen-
sive, exhaustive presentation of oil
/ the facts and the law bearing on the
controversy. 1t is an able, lucid le-
gal paper and is the product of his
brain and industry.
Few men in North Carolina ever
eniOyed the distinction ne has at
/ tanned at his age. Licensed to prac-
tice law in 1885; twice elected sole
itor IN "a Democratic district over
strong Democratic opposition; elect
ed to congress in d Democratic DIS
trlct ID a Presidential year, and he Is
mot vet IS years old. He is the
strongest and ablest man the Fifth
district has sent to congress since the
DAYS of Alfred VI. Scales.
The district comprises big part
of the industrial wealth and mtelIi
gence of the State. The State Uni
versity, Trinity College, and score:
of prominent academic instruction.
belong to its territory. 1t has an in
telligent, educated. wei Informed
thrifty, independent population. Mr.
Settle is now foot loose and oppor
tunity is presented which can maxi
him d useful. influential and valua
bile representative. The election con
test necessarily embarrassed him.
WHY JERNIGAN Is LEFT.
Some people are still wonderin:
why Mr.. Jernigan has not been re
warded. 1t is not strange in view o
an almost overlooked incident in hi
early political career. Many year
= ago he was elected to the Legislature
: and having some doubt about To
, Righteousness and legality of his cleo
ton he refused the certificate: Il
some way this escaped notice unde
CleveIand's former administration
but recently it has come to light, an
his appointment pending action o.
Simmons nomination would seem t
be reflection on the methods of til
chairman Of the State Democrat
: executive committee.
: just now Simmons has all the loa
he can conveniently carry. ActIo
will be had in this case Tuesday, ant
. then the way will be open to homes
, Democrats like Jernigan. Vance LEI
/ the city to-day for Florida, and hi
$ absence will materially favor SIN
mons confirmation. But talkin
/ about it just on the moment of hi
, departure he expressed every cont
= dence that the Senate would rejeC
the nomination. Unless he is mis-
led and other calculations miscarr
Simmons is defeated. The Florid
l trip has been taken under the urger
advice of his physician with the es
pectation Of Immediate and materii
l Improvement.
A SUBPOENA FOR Mr. CARLISLE
= Has been issued citing him to appea
before the Supreme court of the Di:
trict of Column bia. to make answer I
the bill asking for an injunction re
: straining him from issuing bonds
J The action is started by the Knight:
The Ways and Means committee ia
just reported a resolution sayin
that the Secretary had no authorit
to issue the bonds. Carlisle and til
/ bankers are now consulting over til
= situation. Carlisle has pnt his foo
ID and the bankers are about scare
off.
