THE ISLANDER REFUTED.
NO FOUNDATION FOR HAMMOND'S
CHARGE OF PLAGIARISM.
The Parallel Column Answers the ThOn
asviIIe Mans Speech of Abuse and
Vituperation.

From the Triton Gazette.
In his speech at Nashville, during court,
Col. Hammond accused Judge Griggs OF
plagiarism from Ben Tlllman. Below
are Two reports of his remarks from Ham
mond papers:
"Why, his perioration, the most elo-
quent part of his speech, his visit to the
New York Stock Exchange, to Washing
tons statue and Hamilton's grave was
differed verbatim from a recent letter
of the prince of blackguards, Benjamin
Tillman r-Extract from Morning News
report of HammOnd's speech.
"Why, his periOration, the closing
sentences and the strongest part of his
entire speech; that part of it about his
visit to the New York Cotton Exchange,
Washington's statue and HamltOn's
grave was filched bodily aud verbatim
from recent speech from that prince of
blackguards, Ben Tillman. Extract
from Valdosta Times report of Ham
mond's speech.
These authorities d. net agree. One
says "letter," the other ''speech." Ham
mond said Speech" but we learn that
he afterwards said the plagiarism was
from letter to the New York World.
Another portion is ncorrect-Hammond
did not say ''pilfered," or "flched," but
"taken," which conveys an entirely diff
ferent meaning.
Presuming Col Hammond wished to
stand by the uncorrected assertion in his
speech, we have searched the Congress
slonal Record for parallel instance in
any of Tilman's speeches, but failed to
find it. Then taking the other state
ment the letter OF Tillman, we searched
it thoroughly with like result. Below
we give, in parallel columns, the closing
of Griggs' speech and the only portion
of Tillmans letter to the World! which,
by any stretch of Imagination, Col. Ham
mond could possibly have had reference.
We invite careful reading and compar-
ison of them:

of the government employees in spending
more money than they earn, in conse-

many cases, when sickL ess or death occurs,

the government who declines to pay his

If he receives liberal salary. I further con-

MONEY AND CARDS,
But 1T Was Only Alleged to be a
Chinese Birthday Party.

But 1t Was Only Alleged to he a
Chinese birthday Party.
Policemen Stroman and Howser went on
duty last night at midnight, and they
noticed that Wah Lees laundry, NO. lsit
7th street, seemed to be the center Of at
traction for nearly all the Chinese laundry
men in the city, and about 1::'0 o'clock they
thought they would make a call. They
were morally certain that there was a gam
bling game going on in the place, but re-
alizing how difficult it was to get proof
from the celestials, they made an effort to
get evidence without their assistance.
A step ladder was procured, and the Off
GERS saw through the transom that several
of the Cinnamon were seated about table
enjoying a game of what the Cinnamon
said was "Fan-tan." Dominoes, chips and
money were piled on the table, and SO the
officers then walked in. At the door they
met an intoxicated Chinaman, but he would
give no information, for he was too much
Intoxicated to talk. Even the appearance
of the officers did not frighten those about
the table, for they continued to play the
game until told that the house was raided
Then they were informed that Wah Lee
YVES having birthday party. Supper had
been spread for the guests earlier in the
evening. and remnants Of the feast were
still on the table. Wah furnished security,
and was released.
w N6n the case IcdCucu JuuSc MAlleI
court Charlie Bing was there to interpret
the testimony of his fellow countrymen,
and Lawyer Sillers defended the 7th street
laundryman. The usual defense was made
If the China were to be believed, they
were playing dominoes for fun, and the
presence of money on the table had moth
ing to do with the game. One of Lees
guests said he owed the money to another
one Of the party, and had put it on the
table for him.
This is the same old story" the judge
said. Its just what was said in another
cese against Chinaman."
Lawyer Sillers argued that his client
ought not to be convicted, for he said he
was entertaining mis- friends at birthday
party. He was doing nothing more than
Americans do every day, said counsel, and
certainly he ought not to be convicted.
'And Americans are convicted every day
for doing the same thing remarked the
court. The judge saw no reason why an
exception should be made in the case Of a
celestial. AS 1t was small game the
court imposed fine of only $40 and gave
the Chinaman one day in Jail.
