FLOATING DOCK NEEDED

As the number of gasoline launches in this vicinity increases, the question arises, "Would not good floating dock at Wrangell be a great advantage and convenience?" There are already about dozen little launches at Wrangell. and prospects for more as time goes on. At the lower stages of the tide it is very difficult and dangerous to get aboard of these little craft. especially for ladies and children, at Reid's slip, and often the pleasure of launching party IS spoiled by some one falling on the slip pery blanks and receiving severe bruises Or ruil ing a garment, whereas, with a floating dock this trouble would all be obSilted
 Such dock would not cost over $50, as it would not have to be over twenty or thirty feet square, and a raft of logs covered with rough boards would be all that is necessary for it's construction. Of course, no freight could be handled, for in that event the wharf license would have to be paid. But for the use of pleasure parties in boarding and landing from the smaller launches, and even rowboats, it would prove a great con- venience. A few dollars Contributed and little work by the owners of the small launches about town would do the business, and we believe the space for such dock would be donated or loaned by some public spirited waterfront own CT. A meeting of the launch owners is in order to bring this matter to focus.

PATTERSON AND HIS ENEMIES.

1t is entirely within the limits of the
strictest accuracy to state that no
political figure in recent Tennessee
politics has been so vindictively pur-
sued and so groundlessly abused and
opposed as has Governor Patterson.
Without single break in their prede-
termined and violent righteousness,
his enemies have waged against him
war as bitter, relentless, uncompromis-
ing and unmanly as ever befouled q
political fight. Had he the prescience
of a seer, the patriotism of Henry,
and the purity of an angel, the fight
and the crusade against him would
have been no less bitter. He has in
Cured the eternal enmity of a band of
political pirates and assassins of char
acter, who have sworn in their own
hearts his destruction, and no mortal
deed of his, however lofty and inspir-
ing, can wiring from their poisoned
souls one word of commentator.
Nothing human can silence their mud
stained, slanderous tongues. If he
pardons from the penitentiary friend
less consumptive, tottering upon the
brink of the grave, he is mercilessly
criticised and charged with premedi-
tatedly turning aloose upon society an
arch demon to encompass its wreck
and ruin.
AS was proper and right the legisla-
ture voted the governor, SO, 500 to main
tain the executive mansion. A war
rant was issued to him for the amount.
Vainly striving for some pretext upon
which to cruelty him, his enemies flare
up in lurid lines and declare him
monster for collecting the entire
amount at once. When he bought a
steak for his table or paid the janitor
they would have him draw these drib-
let amounts from the treasury and let
the balance remain.
Perhaps it is not unfortunate for the
governor that this fight was made, for
nothing could clearer show the mali
cious meanness OF the fight being made
against him. Ultimately all fair mind
ed men, whether opposed to him or
not, must rebel against this kind of in
justice and repudiate it. The average
man believes in fair deal, even for
his enemies, and these dirty little at
tempts to hamper and harass the gov
ernor Of the state in the performance
of his duties will not find encourage
ment In the breast Of any manly man.
But their hatred Of him is unwavering
In its applicability and nothing short
Of abdicating in their favor can appease
their consuming wrath.
The States Graphic has been pro-
tagonist Of Governor Patterson. Ii
supported another Cor the nomination,
but since he was elected and indicted
into Office, it has been its sincere en-
deavor to strengthen his hands and to
assist him in every way possible to
give the state q wise and just admins
tration. With the wisdom of our con-
duct in this regard we are entirely sat
isfied, for we believe he is making
splendid governor. However this may
