It will be remembered that Col.
T. B. johnson, of sumter, contested
the seat of Hon. j. VIM. Stokes in
the 44th Congress of the United
State, alleging, among other things,
the perpetration of fraud and the
practice of intimidation. While all
along Col. johnson had not an iota
of evidence to prove his allegations,
yet he succeeded, through the assis-
tance of partizan Republican ma
iority, of robbing Congressman
Stokes of the seat to which he was
honestly and Justly entitled by rea-
son of having received majority OF
legal votes polled by the qualified
electors of the District.
The whirligig of time has made
another revolution and revealed a
condition of things in the Republi-
can camp that should be very inter,
esting to the Republicans OF the
House and at the same time be the
means of preventing the unseating OF
DR.. Stokes should his election be
again contested by, Col. johnson.
The Rev. D. A. Perrin, negro
preacher of Orangeburg, in announc
ing his candidacy for Congress from
this District, charges Mr.. johnson
with having obtained the Republican
nomination through fraud. If this
be true, which we neither affirm nor
deny, then it is reasonable to suppose
that he would use fraud to secure
the seat.
