Nashville, Nov. 23. The sentiment
which prevails at the capital of the state
today In connection with the action of
the state officials in refusing to give out,
even at this late date, any information
as to the vote for govern t, is of the
most pronounced sort. On street cor
ners, in club rooms nnd in hotel lobbies
the officials are subjects of the most
caustic conilcmuation.

they arlmit that this is by no means cer
tain. The best citizens of Nashville they
sav, arc, regardless of party, operlv con-de-niniug
the action of Sicretarv of State
Morgnn, and his associate in
refusing to announce the tesult
ot the election. Thcv point with
confidence to the fact that the best ele
ment of Democracy throughout the en
tire commonwealth is now practtcully
I unanimous in the belief that Mr. Kvans
has n plurality of the votes cast and
! should therefore be seated as Governor.
! Hut the office holders, they contend, arc
I determined to continue the struggle and
refuse to announce the result so long as
there is a possibility ot creating a con;
test in the legislature.
"According to law," said Chairman
Sanders last nipht, "uny cit'zen has a
right to obtain a copy of the returns on
payment of the fees. I personally ten
dered the officials $100 in cash in pay
ment ol fees for a copy of the returns,
hut still they were denied me.
"A point which the public doesn't
seem to grasp in its fullest inclining,"
continued Mr. Sanders, "is the
fact that neillicr the Secretary ol
State nor Governor Turney has
any right to the returns. In
the case of St ite senators nnd represent
atives it is different. The speaker of the
senate alone acts, so fur ns anv individu
al notion is concerned. He announces the
result to the legislature. The action of
the secretary of state nnd his associates
in exercising a control over t hv returns in
the election ol governor is unwarranted
!v law, and consequently ut jtist and un
fair. But peril ips the worst phase of the
whole nff'iir is the secrecy, Thi secrecy
is what is making I he people suspicious,
and one May it will have to he explained.
"Neither Julgc Shepherd nor myself
will return to Nashville until our presence
there is required. Meantime Mr. lvvans
will remain nt the capital to look after
bis interests."
'JUDGE DICK'S CAMPMEETING."
A t'orrewnondont Jumps On tbe 1. 8.
Court.
Willing from Asheville, a correspond
ent of the Charlotte Observer "jumps
on" in no light manner "Judge Dick's
campmeeting," as tbe Federal court is
called, and the court is referred to as "a
laughing stock with tbe people."
The article alludes to the U. S. money
that is "doled out to jurymen who are
selected through a system of favoritism."
Referring to this, Deputy Clerk C.
B. Moore said today the statement
was not a tact. The jurors are chosen
bv a jury commission composed of U. S.
Commissioner Summey and the clerk. A
venire of 55 is drawn. A list of names
is sent by each commissioner and the ju
rors are drawn from these. Remote
counties are allowed two jurors each,
coui ties adjoining Buncombe are allowed
four each, and the remaining jurors are
chosen from Buncombe about 20 white
and five colored. The list is revised
every two or three years, when, by order
of court, 500 new names are sent to the
clerk. Under the rule observed, Mr.
Moore savs, a juror cannot get on the
jury oftener than once in two years.
to tne statement tnat "tne clerk and
la a big docket the more cases the more
money for them," Mr. Moore says the
district attorney had made hlsmaximum
($60001 before the recent court, and his
services at this term were without com
pensation. Tbe clerk has no power
whatever to increase tbe docket, to start
a prosecution or dismiss it. The clerk's
maximum is $3500 and expenses, and this
amount has bten reached but once since
the establishment of the court while J.
B. Reed was clerk.
The article savs further, "there is no
leading lawyer in Asheville who will ap
pear in this court. It is a teat which
furnishes nourishment to a crowd who
know, by)long practice, just how to pull
on it." To this Mr. Moore replied by
giving the nnmes of ex-Judge Jas. H,
Merrimon, Cnpt, M. E. Carter, ex-Judge
Chas. A. Moore, Gen. Tbeo. F.
Davidson, ex-Judge H. Bnscom Car
ter, F. A. Sondley, Tucker & Mur
phy, Maj. Chas. M. Stedman, Gudger &
Martin, W. W. Jones, J. G. Merrimon,
Col. V. S. Lusk, Jos. S. Adams, P. A.
Cummirgs, T. R. Ransom and others
who practice in the court before Judge
Dick. Any of the prominent lawyers,
Mr. Moore thinks, would appear in tbe
criminal cases bclore the court, if tbev
received their fee. The truth is, how
ever, that the defendants are always so
poor that they are unable to pay more
than a small fee.

St. Johns, K. F Nov. 23. The ovei
due Allen line steamer Corean, which ar
rived here jesterday alter a 16 days'
voyage, reports the worst weather Capt.
Main ever experienced. Almost from the
moment the Corean left Liverpool gales
continued with terrific force, and for two
days the steamer made no headway.
The immense fe'ns broke ove-r her, ren
dering it impossible for the officers of the

sons at LeiiKth.
Topbka, Kan., Nov. 23. Associate
Justice W. A. Johnson of Supreme court,
re-elected November 6 for a term of six
years, announced yesterday that be hurl
returned his passes, and will receive 110
more from railroad corporations.
He says: "Heretofore when a pass has
been given me In pursuance of the general
custom, I hr.ve used it without any hesi
tation, and without any fear .f loss of
my integrity or of respect and confidence
of others. I do not now use passes, nnd
have not used them since I heard tim
ing last summer the firtt s?rious sug
gestion from a litigant iu this couit
that acceptance of these cour
tesies might prejudice his interest
here. While 1 think there is no inherent
wrong in the use of passes ns they have
been given in this State, and that no
honest ludg: is influenced by such favors.
I shall certainly decline the use of them
because of recently expressed objections
to their use by the judiciary. That
course seems to be the one that will most
surely guard against any loss of perfect
confidence in our courts."

A Warm Friend of AsHovlllo-Hls Ap
pointment. Col. John C. Legg of Baltimore is in
Asheville for a few days, having come
here with Mrs. Legg, whose health was
very much benefited by a stay some time
ago. Mrs. Legg returned to Baltimore,
but the change affected her unfavorably,
and another trip to Asheville was de
cided upon.
Since coming here Col. Legg has been
appointed a police commissioner of Hal
timore city by Governor Brown, and has
received a number 01 congratulatory tel
egrams upon bis appointment. The
compliment paid him by the governor is
considered a high one. t-ol. Legg is on
the governor's staff and is a warm per
sonal friend of tbe executive.
Col. Legg is a director of tbe Western
Maryland railroad and a flour and grain
merchant of Baltimore. The Citizen
formed his acquaintance on a recent trip
over the Western road and has found
him an enthusiastic champion of Ashe
ville us well as an exceedingly pleasant,
vigorous talker. Whenever he sees a
friend who is unwell be urges him to
come to tbe mountain metropolis.

Aliianv, N. Y., Nov. 23. It was sug
gested today about the capitol depart
ment that there was nothing in the elec
trical electrocution law which would
prevent Warden Stout of Anburn prison
Irom appointing Dr. Gibbons of Syracuse
one of the witnesses to tne Wilson execu
tion. If Dr. Gibbons was a witness he
could he designated as one of tbe physi
cians to make the post mortem examina
tion, and there is nothing tn the law
which would prohibit bis ascertaining,
before tbe autopsy, by using bit ap
paratus, whether or not Wilson was
dead. Of course if it was found that
Wilson was not dead be would have to
be placed in the chair again and the cur
rent shot through him until life became
extinct.
