There IL trouble in cid Tennessee.
The democratic organization was put
to roat last week In the election of
judges OF the state Supreme court. 1t
will be recalled that the court upheld
the decision OF the lower court in the
case OF the Coopers for the killing Of
the brilliant Carmack and that Clover
nor Patterson, who was the personal
and political friends of the Coopers,
then pardoned the convicted men and
they went free. The governor control
vention refused to reuominate the men
W hom he could not control in the
Cooper case and the result was that an
independent ticket was put In the
field which with the help of the repub-
licans has defeated the Patterson ticket
by.a good substantial majority.
Tennessee is strongly democratic but
this election only shows that no party
can escape the consequences of Il
course of sin ami folly.
Patterson shamefally prostituted the
prerogative of the pardoning power
aud made the party stand the respon-
sibility. The consequences are thai the
party goes down IN defeat before an
indignant public. His conduct was
disgrace. 1t was fragrant insult to
the court and an insult to the admin
tstration of justice. 1t was John Mar
nall who said: "The greatest scourge
an angry Heaven ever inflicted upon
an ungrateful and SHINING people is
an ignorant, corrupt the dependent ju-
diciary.' The people of Tennessea
think as Marshall and they have
iyen Patterson a stern rebuke.
