WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-The bottom is be-
lieved to have dropped out of the contest waged
by the Hon. Josiah Patterson for the seat in the
present House of Representatives from the
Memphis. Tenn, district. Mr.. Patterson posed
as a sound-money Democrat. and as such ran
for Congress. receiving some Republican sup
port. The count showed Patterson's defeat,
whereupon he served notice of contest, alleging
frauds in counting the vote, suppression of
other votes, and all the grounds that have
marked the complaints of defeated Republican
candidates in the South since reconstruction
days. This drew from Mr.. Carmack. In his re-
ply to notice of contest, a scathing rebuke, prob
~erature. He said:
THE accusations you make simply %reiterate
the stale calumnies that have been repeated dd
nauseam against the people Of your Congress
sional district, and particularly against your
own personal political partisans. who for years
have been In control Of the election machinery
OF this district. You have, unfortunately. by
your past political course. and especially by the
violent and incorporate character of your pub
lie utterances. done much to give color Of truth
to these accusations, In all your speeches
throughout the district you have made the curse
Of negro suffrage the burden of your lsmenta-
lions. and everywhere proclaimed the doctrine
INA Cu6 TIBnI Oh 4ht White MA u Tule was
higher law than the Constitution or an act of
Congress. Even when you appeared in the Fed
eral Court as counsel for parties charged with
election offences you ignored the law and the
clients on the ground that political domination
by the negro vote was not to be tolerated in o
white mans country-a speech which tho pre-
from the bench as an insult 70 the honesty and
intelligence OF the jury.
Your present contest and your method of
pursuing 1t are simply based upon the hope that
you can, by maligninE the Democracy OF your
before a Republican House than You can ever
hone to be before a Democratic constituency"
When Mr.. Patterson was on the stand the
surprised everybody by asking him If he had
not himself voted for Bryan and Sewall. Sur.
admitted that he had 30 voted. Whatever SYM
pathy, not to say support. the members OF the
committee may have heretofore felt for Pat
terson disappeared with that statement.
