THE MAJOR REMARKS ON THE
"HOTNESS" THE WEATHER.
Retrospection, Politically and Other

In an aged bosom. The republicans
are making much ads about something
that Mr.. Bryan said about the supreme
court, and even some of the Georgia
lawyers criticised him severely and de-
Tended the court as the best bulwark
of our liberties, and spoke Of it as tho
high tribunal that stood like wall to
protect people against the assaults of
passion and prejudice. All that is
very pretty to a young man, but old
men have more memory and less conf
dence. There was n time, n good long
time. when the court had the respect
and the reverence of the nation, es-
pccially Of the south, when John Mar
shall and Roger 3. Tancy, two south
erners, were the chief justices for
period of nearly sixty years, but soon
after fancy died partisan politics and
sectional prejudice crept into the court
and it is there yet. 1t has been only
twenty years since members OF that
corN:t ruled Mr.. Tildcn out of the
presidency and seated Hayes, as clear
an act of legal fraud as was ever per-
petrated by the most unscrupulous
politicians. Law is snid to be the
perfection Of human reason. Then
how IS it that in such great questions
republican judges decide one way and
the democrats the other? 1t is right
melancholy to recall that stupendous
farce-sevcn democrats and eight re-
pubicans all under onth to 10 Justice
IN this great question, and yet they
drew the party lines to u man. That
Tildeu was elected all parties now ad-
nit and history has so recorded. He
was cheated out of the high Office by
three members of that supreme court.
This is the same court that decided the
income tax unconstitutional. Why I
wouldn't trust such court with any
case that involved great corporations
or sectional questions. Ever since Joe
Bradley was young man, and up to
1870 he was president or director of
two railroads and several great in
surance companies. He couldent tote
fair with them on one side and the
people on the other to save his life.
No, l am like Mr.. Bryan. I've lost
confidence in the integrity of that
court. / will not say that its members
can he bought with money, but their
Wills are nodded by undue influence
