The Savannah Tribune

The recent political upheaval threw to the surface Edward W. Carmack as the free silver congressman for the tenth Tennessee district. Our readers will remember that this wretched man, as editor of the Memphis Daily Commercial, made himself infamous in Europe and America as an advocate of lynch law and a traducer of American womanhood. His abuse of Miss Wells was too coarse and brutal to be circulated in decent homes. And now Carmack has been elected to congress and as a howler for free silver as well as free murder at sixteen to one! The South is a queer country. It is the only place on earth where men of the mental and moral make-up of Edward W. Carmack's are promoted to high and honorable positions. We are glad that Carmack's influence for evil in congress will be restricted to drawing the largest salary he ever before drew.—New York Age.
