McLENDON INiPEACHED.
Georgia Assembly Confirms Hoke
Smiths Order OF Suspension.
ATLANTA Journal, Aug. -


Former Railroad Commissioner s.
Guytop McLendon has been suspend
ed by the Georgia Legislature, and
will take his case into the courts.
The Senate had already voted to
Sustain the suspension order OF For
mer Governor Hoke Smith and vot-
ed again not to reconsider the sub
ject.
Final vote in the House came mp
on Thursday afternoon, and the vote
was 129 for dismissal and 40 against
1t.
The final resolution was voted
upon, and when it was announced
Mr.. McLendon stood suspended by
the Legislature and the order of sus-
pension of Hoke Smith was sustain
ed by both Houses.
Guilty of Dishonesty.
Mr.Allen, OF Upshaw, pleaded with
the House to lay aside partisan pre-
judices and decide the case on it's
merits, regardless of the will or
the present Governor. He believed
McLcndon had been given fair
trial, trial that cost the State
$4,000 appropriated FOR ~fIts defense
He had been championcd by the alb.

gia, and he had been found guilty,

fee. He had betrayed a sacred trust
and ought to be removed for that
reason.
Mr.. Reese, of Glynn, thought IN
peachment was the only method by
which the House could legally han
die the case.
McLcndOn Defended.
Mr.. Ellis, Of Bibb, said he had
been informed that Before this jury
(the House) had been empaneled a
majority had already decided to con-
vict McLendon because political ex-
pediency required it. He had at
first repudiated the miserable sug-
gestion. He could not believe that
Georgia's representatives were So
unprincipled. so vindictive, so dis
honest, SO unfair. Yet he was COM
PEELED to believe it, to believe that
even before the indictment" had
been prepared, the Jury" had agreed
to lis support. 1t was a political
persecution.
"They say he has no friends. l
am here to tell you that he has a
friend in the person of every Geor-
gia citizen who loves justice. And
II the sentence which von have pre-
viously agreed on is imposed upon
him, / hope he will go out to tell the
people Of the State, face to face. the
political crime that has been COM
mitted against him. and when he
does he will be eternally Wndicated
in their eyes"

1t would be a proper judgment for
the speaker to compel the attendance

Belle Fourche Post: The work OF
a of the vote of the county
seat question for Perkins county was
begun on Monday, on an order from
Judge Rice. The work was under the
supervision of Clerk of Courts Sell
lers, who was assisted by LaFleiche
e Simons for the Bisonites, and Log
an Berry and Frank Brown appear
in for the L~emmonites. 1t was hop
ed by the latter to develop enough
errors in the official count to change
the result and give Lennon the
county seat.
After the opening of all the boxes
and counting and tallying the votes
of each precinct and comparing the
same with the official count, no ma
terial changes were found, although
a few irregularities were noted; but
the result was unchanged and the
question of taking further action in
the contest will undoubtedly be
dropped. The result was virtually
identical with the returns sent in by
the various election boards.
