Much Abused Man. Ex-Senator J. L. M. frby Is a much abused man. The press in the lower part of the State hit him hard licks. A good many people hit frby because ho supplanted Gon. Hampton, forgetting that Others were ready to do the same tiling, but frby from sheer force of cir CUmstnnci s was in the lead and out stripped them in tho race. Wo have no doubt that some of the haters of [t'by would have rejoiced to have been in his place. If Irby did nothing while in tho Senate, it !s not loss than many Sena tors havo done lor a much longer perio 1. Bui it can be Rai I to his credit that he did no harm, he lent himsolf to no scheme, no political moasuro to rob 01* oppress tho people. Much has been said about Ins lack of ability as a leg islator, hut there is good reason to be lieve that he has boon underestimated in this respect. So far as the Reform movement is concorncd It would have been hardly possible for the campaign of 1800 to have BWOpt the State for the Reform tieU'et had Irby not been on the field with his ability as an or ganizer, coalescing chaotic elements and bringing final success to hi- fac tion.?
