lynch:ns in Chattanooga Tenn, on
March 10 last, of ta,- .:ssl 0 Ed John

for rape, had beeH allowed an appeal
by the United Sta3es Supreme Codr!
from ..ue circuit c.ult Of the Unite
States ior the eastara 'G-t:.v, of Tenn
5sscc. n the supreme court today
Attorney General MS, y fled an III
formation for the acts committed by
parties named, it issued a rule against
each of them, to show, cause why they
should not be punished for contempt
of court.
The persons named as defendants
are: John F. Shipp, Frank Jones,
Mathew Galloway, C. A. Baker, T. B.
Taylor, Fred Frauley, George Brown,
Jeremiah Gibson, Marion Erkins,

After reciting the facts of the ar
rest, conviction and sentence of John
son, the denial Of his petition for writ
>of habeas corpus by the circuit court
in which it was alleged among other
things that the petitioner had been
denied a trial by a fair and impartial
jury, and had been denied the aid Of
counsel in violation of the order of
the court of March 19, allowing the
appeal to the supreme court, and the
fact Of the telegraphing Of the order
of the court to John F. Shipp, sheriff
of Hamilton county, who had John
son in charge, the attorney general
stated that the sheriff and his dupties
had every reason to believe that an
attempt would be made to lynch John
son and that Notwithstanding these
facts the sheriff withdrew from the
jail early in the evening of the 18th
the usual guard and left in charge
only the night jailer, Deputy Sheriff
Gibson.
It was also stated that about 9
O'Clock Of that night the defendants
and a. large number Of other persons
combined and conspired together to
lynch Johnson with intent to show
their contempt and disregard for the
order of the court.

given in the information filed with

Sheriff Shipp returned to the jail While

The Race for Governor.

The gubernatorial contest begins to
look complicated in that three dispen-
sary candidates have already an
nounced themselves. These three
men-AIanning, Sloan and Blease, ap-
pear 10 represent three different dis
pensary propositions, but each stands
staunchly by the State institution. It
is suggested that the dispensary forces
are so well drilled and so determined
10 sustain the present system at all
hazards, that they will be able to With
draw all but one OF their candidates
as. the campaign closes. 1t is pointed
out that these three men will attack
the anti-dispensary forces from diff
ferent points, and appeal to different
classes, and that after they have
aroused their followings to The sup,
lort Of the G. NJ. !. the weaker can,
and will, step down and out.
This looks we'll on paper, but is not
likely to work out in practice The
fact is that Manning does not repre-
sent the old line dispensaryites- He
is for reform He is a clean man as
we: have in public life IN this State, in
our opinion. The dispensary ring, the
real political working force Of the
system, those who find the funds and
expect to reap the fruits Of victory,
may back Manning, thinking that af-
ter all a governor can do little to
thwart them. # once they can elect
Manning it viii be claimed that the
people have endorsed the State dis
pensary system ana that the next leg
;s!ature must not abolish it. 1t is safe
to say the dispensary> forces have little
fear OF Manning's proposition to re-
form. SO he may be used by the ring.
But as Manning has no sympathy with
this element it is likely there will be
rupture.
On the other hand the anti-dispen-
sary forces have no candidate as yet.
If they centre on one strong man they
Will be in a good strategic position.

far as the general public is concern

man, young, magnetic, brilliant
speaker, and an organizer Where
VIII he stand? He says that he IS
waiting until The investigating COM
mittee brings out the evidence con-
cerning the State board of control be-
fore he announces his platform. If he
is to head the anti-dispensary forces
it seems all but certain that he vii
lead them to victory. If he joins the
dispensary candidates he viii furthel

Steamboat (Colo.) Pilot. In every
newspaper we pick up we're sure to
find lot of g,ish about the man behind
the counter and the man behind the
gun: the man behind the buzz saw and
the man behind the son; the man be-
hind the times and the man behind his
rents; the man behind the plough share
and the man behind the fence; the man
behind the whistle and the man behind
the cars; the man behind the kodak and
the man behind the bars; the man be-
hind his whiskers and the man behind
his fists; and every thing behind has en-
tered on the list. But they've missed
another fellow of whom nothing has
been said, the fellow who is even, or a
little way-ahead, who pays for what he
gets, whose bills are always signed-he' g
a blame sight more important than the
man who is behind. All we editors and
merchants, and the whole commercial
clan, are indebted for existence to this
honest fellow man. He keeps us all in
business and his town is never dead;
and so we take our hats off to the man
who is ahead.
