RICHARD HABOlNG DAVIS.

It seems to be the popular fad nowadays
to lump on Richard Harding Davis. The
public must have somebody to abuse
and now that Creelman is wounded and
Hearst has returned to New York, they
are jumping on this rarely gifted young
man, who has won reputation by his
talents which, if not OF the highes,
order are very remarkable. Our opinion
is well expressed by correspondent of
the Chicago Herald:
''Some people-newspaper people
complain of Richard Harding Davis.
They say that his head is swelled. They
could not be more bitter about it if
they had been kickcll. / found nothing
of that sort in him. TO me he appeared
to be frank, intelligent, manly, modest
sort of young fellow, with an understand
ing of his own merits. but no desire
to thrust them under the noses of his
companions. l have never heard him
mention anything he has written.
have heard him in praise OF writers who
are his interiors. He struck me as
an athletic. healthy, sane, coId-tubbed,
clean-minded young gentleman. the pro-
duct of a well-bred American father and
mother, gently and sensibly reared and

REs0RTEO TO BRIBERY.

The North Wilkesboro News says that
at the Republican Congressional conven-
ton in ode ate" one anti-Linnney dele
gate was offered 5000 for his influence
in the convention:
"And what did this old gentleman do:
He became so indignant as to threaten
the life of the bidder if he did not leave
his room," says the News.
1t was disgraceful enough to have the
convention run by J. Wiley Shook and
other revenue doodles without resorting
to bribery. 1t is not surprising that
self respecting Republicans Indignantly
resented such socalled convention.
