JUSTICE TO JUDGE REAGAN.
The Macon Telegraph Makes
Satisfactory Apology For Its
Reference to Him.
Under the above head The Ma
con Telegraph of the 10th instant,
very gracefully makes amends for
referring to Judge Reagan as an
“unfrocked judge.”
The Telegraph reached us after
we had gone to press with the ar
ticle by Hon. O. M. Duke.
We give The Telegraph’s edito
rial below:
“Several days ago, in making
some reference to the recent State
convention, The Telegraph refer
red to Judge Reagan, the chair
man of the convention, as an ‘un
frocked judge’ —the teim being
used in the sense that he was not
now on the bench; that he no
longer wears the ermine and is
not exercising judicial functions.
“Since the impression seems to
have gone forth that the word
carried with it the intimation that
he had been ‘impeached’ or had
been ‘unfrocked’ by the people
at the polls. The Telegraph takes
this occasion to say that no such
impression was intended.
“We say, moreover, that we re
gret the use of that word and
opologize to Judge Reagan. We do
this, not because of any complaint
from him, but because we wish to
do him peaceful justice that we
would have him do us under the
circumstances, and because we
did not intend the offense which
another interpretation might give
to the word.”
