 Give Tit for Tat.
 The Journal this afternoon says:
 Captain Johnston came down to Mont gomery in 1890 with 105 votes as solid as the rock of Gibraltar, pledged to him for governor, first and last, being twice as democratic nomination, Captain Kolb excepted. These 105 were devoted fol- lowers, and like Napoleon's old guard were to be trusted in all cases. They were well disciplined, and not only de- voted to, but respected and had conf- dence in their leader. They constituted "a splendid organization. When the cru cial time came in the convention to con- trol them in another's ir test, there was mo question as to how they would vote, as to whether they would be loyal and true even to the end A Montgomerian, an honored and esteemed Montgomerian, feaped the fruits of that splendid organ ization, that splendid organization of the Told guard" Has Montgomery in the past shown it's gratitude? Was this an- other of Captain Johnston's "blunders,' by which he achieves nothing?"
