THE COOPER VERDICT.
Twenty Years Imprisonment
Penitentiary.
Tennessean (:

"To Maj. Duncan Brown Cooper
who wrought the great coalition;
who achieved the harmonious con-
fuence Of incompatible elements;
who welded the pewter handle to
the wooden spoon; who grated the
dead bough to the living tree and
made it to bloom and bourgeon
and bend with golden fruit; who
made playmates of the lamb and
the leopard and boon companions
Of the spider and the fly; who made
soda and vinegar to dwell placidly
in the same bottle and who taught
oiland water how they might agree
Ito Maj. Ducan Brown Cooper,
the great diplomat Of the political
Sweibund, be all honor and glory
forever"
The public is familiar with the
horrible details of the butchery
of Tennessee's honored and most
gifted son. There has been more
OF less talk and suspicion Of con-
spiracy behind the taking away of
Mr.. Carmack, but be that as it may,
there was nothing in the editorials
of the Tennessean to. provoke the
threat much less the killing Of the
man who was leading the fight for
civic righteousness and reform.
The following editorial from the
Louisville Herald fairly expresses
the sentiment of the press outside
of Tennessee:
"Whatever the outcome of the
Cooper trial now dragging to it's
end, it remains a fact that there
was nothing in the editorials of
Senator Carmack to provoke the
ebullition of wrath and the men,
acing threats which are alleged to
have emanated from Col. Cooper.
"To admit for moment that the
editorials formed ground Of just
ification for Cooper's dangerous
anger would be to place amuzzle
upon the press of the South in'all
fearless criticism of men and meas
ures. It is claimed Col. Cooper
was not public man; that he held
no office, and was entitled to the
immunity of private citizen.
"But the private citizen who is
political wire-puller; the man,
who holding no Office, behind the
scenes acts as chief adviser to a
Governor, is the type Of man whose
conductuuder certain circumstan-
ces may demand unsparing expos
ure. His very lack Of conspicu-
BUSINESS, his freedom from direct
responsibility, make him more
serious menace to the popular veal.
"Any theory that gives such men
immunity from criticism is vicious
in the extreme, and no newspaper
with a sense of public duty can ST.
lently allow it to be promulgated.
at has not been shown that Mr..
Carmack attacked Col. Cooper's
private life, vulnerable as it may
have been. His comment was di-
rected to the part he had taken in
Tennessee politics, and the man
who voluntarily NEEDLES in such
matters must expect to be criti-
cised."
