The people Of Fulton county seem
determined to put Mr.. Clint Randle,
on the track as a Congressional candi
date whether it is his wish or not.
The following in regard to this matter
We find in the Hickman Courier:
There IS a movement on foot in this
/ county to organize a Clint Randle Demo-
CRITIC club. to De composed Of Democrats
/ determined 20 enter his name FOR Con
grcss and 10 vote for him NJ the polls re-
gsrdless Of the consequences, or whether
kaudie consents or objects. Two years
ago dozen or 50 Of our citizens cast
their votes for him ia this way, and some
Of these assert their intention 10 keep
On doing until some one enters tDe
deId exactly acceptable to them. This
time The feeling assumes large proper
tons, and If encouraged VIII take a con-
siderable number OF votes from The pres
ent candidates.
Mr Randle is undoubtedly one Of
the most talented and popular men ia
tie First District, aud We frequently
hear his name meusiolel in counec
ton with Congress We have also
heard it remarked that the reason he
held back from becoming a candidate
was that he would not offer any OBJ
struciion to the re election of Judge
Boone, who is his friend. We also
know that IN certain quarters, the fear
that Mr. Raudle would become a eau
didate has caused great aeai.el .drsa5 T
aud teuor. He. has a host ed Z w. w.

which winds up as follows: - al
The COURIER, in the absence - party I

is prepared to rei,eraie the above. We
are net prepared, however, to see the
way clear through the labarynth of
difficulties which surround such an in
dependent movement The candidlcy .
Of Republican in this district, in the
person Of Mr. Houston, whether pre-

end to discourage the entering Of any
more democratic horses. Whatever

AEr. Turner further says he was the
choice of the Democratic voters of the
District. His vote does not prove IT.. For
granting that be received none but dem
ocratic votes, (Which he and every body
knows is not true,) still be did NOS re-
ceive a majority of the Democratic votes
OF the district Here are the figures. He
only received according TO his own state
ment, >, 81 votes while Gov. McCregry,
the very next year, received -, 30 votes,
which shows that Mr.. Turner received
1S7 votes less than a majority Of the Dam
ocTatic voters Of the District. And tax
ing into consideration the fact that he
received large number of Radical
votes, (which be knows to he true,) v hat
becomes of his boast, that the Democratic
voters of the district desired him 20 rep
resent them in gressl-BooRe' CircU-
lar.
These figures are correct and prove
that Turner was not tho choice Of the
Democratic voters of the district; and
they also prove that Boone was not the
choice of the Democratic voters Of the
District. There were enough Set "
ting to have given either a IzsJsss559'z
his own party, but they filled to attract
them. Ed Grassland made. two races
for Congress. In the first be received
near 1900, and in the second u GOO
votes. La each race he was opposed
by Democratic aud Republican op
ponent, precisely as in the Turner aud
Boone contest. If either Of these
gentlemen, worthy as they are, had
certainty of polling the votes which
always rallied to Grassland, they might
boast Of a majority OF their own par

sion as to the election of Republican
