more delighted than ovcr any event since

Excitement.
(FTom tie CUlumJia Registcr.)
The great event Of yesterday was tho
Democratic G to nominate candi-
! dates for Circuit Judges, which excited
general interest throughout tho city.
The friends Of the various candidates
were happy during the day, and Us the
hour approached for the caucus to assem-
bic, the greater interest was felt as to the
result, III consequence of runlors float
ing here and there as to the intentions of
certain members to throw bOlnb-shclls
and other explosive substances into the
party. These rumors were principally
relating to tho reelection of Judges
Mackcy and Cooke, whose hosts OF
friends outside of the caucus were
anxious to know the destiny of the men
who incurred the amending hostility OF
their own political associates in the last
campaign, by reason Of their devotion
and manly cspousal Of the Democratic
cause. Fortunately, these explosive ma
tcrials were not convenient, or had pre-
maturcly become exhausted, and the eau
Gus WAS conducted without the use OF
nitro-glycerinc.
The caucus assembled in the hall OF
Representatives. at t o'clock, and was
presided over by Senator Crittcndcn, OF
Greenville, with Hon. Charles Petty as
Secretary.
The first proposition made was i'll the
nature of 4 preamble and resolution by
general effect that no person should be
nominated for the Office Of Circuit Judge
except Il straightOut, uncOmpromiSing
Dcnlocrt. This caused considerable debate,
and WAS finally defeated by Il large vote.
Tllrrcupon Senator I.ipscOmb and Il. w.
IoumMls, Of Barnwcll, retired from the
caucus.
Hon. c. G. Mcmmingcr offered Il rcso-
luton that all tho former incuInbcntS,
exccpt Virgins, be reelected to their po-
sitions, with the understanding that they
tendcrtleir designations, to take effect ut
the expiration of their %une&pired term,
which Was also rejected.
The customary resolution was adopted,
binding all members present to sustain
the nominations, and then. the contest
WAS fairly entered, with the racers all on
the track. One hundred and eighteen
members present; sixty necessary to IL
choice.
The circuits were taken up in regular
order, beginning with TIE Charleston Cir
cult, and the vote was taken UiUn UOcc.
On the first ballot, Hon. i. {. Pressly, OF

Cooke and Mackey--Reward them,
but not with JudgeshIps.
(kcOWcc COurier.)

We have seen q number of articles adj
vocating the reelection of Judges Cooke
and Mackcy for two reasons: LIST. Their
services to the Democracy in the am
paign of 1915, and ID, Il kind of implied
fear, if they ;Te not reelected, they will
turn upon and defeat us in the next ann
paign. 10 the first reason we have re-
piled that the office Of Judge always has
been and should always be above politi-
cal service, and should never be given for
any reward except that of eminent legal
attainnicnts and high moral fitness. As
to the second implied fear, VIC caunot be-
licve these ncn would take any such
course. We well remember, when Judge
Cooke came over to the Democrats, he
said in his speech at Abbcville that he
had tried for years to get the Republican
party to reform its abuses, and had hoped
they would do so, but he had concluded
they never could andncver would reform
the State Government in that party, and
their last nominations torcsladowed
greater corruption than before. This i'll
duced him t turn to the Democrats for
reform, and through the campaign he
laborcd faithfully for reform and the
Hampton ticket. These were words OF
honesty and patriotism and did honor to
the man and Carolinian. Let him by his
conduct once show that they were spoken
for Office or personal prciernlcnt and the
second state Of that mar would be worse
than his first. We know Judge Cooke
personally and believe he will stand by
South Carolina and reform, whether or
not he be reelected to the judgeship.
We know less of Judge Mackey person.
ally, but as II Carolinian, who has served
the State well, We believe tho same of
him. If it should turn out otherwise,
then we would feel like collgratulating
the State in getting rid of two time: erv-
ing Judges, and the Democratic party i'll
finding out two reformcrs, whose reform
consisted in personal and official a%ggrand-
iZcment. We cannot believe this of men
who served us so faithfully and honestly.
They looked, We think, beyond them
selves, to the State, the mother who
nursed them, and who was then suffering
from oppression and corruption which
was destroying her fur name and her
prosperity.
Judge Cooke in the past has given
general satisfaction to the bar and the
Dcoplc of this county, and if the 1.cgisla-
turc should see tit to ~rG-elcct him, we
would be satisfied. Let him take his
chances, however, on his qualifications
with other aSpirants to the office, and let
him and all others abide the result with
out complaining. The Legislature repre-
sent the people, and they shonld look to
the interest Of their constituents and give
them Judges whose purity of character
and legal learning bespcak true reform.

and has served us we'll, then his claims

RALLROAD MEETING.

The narrow guage railroad meeting in the Opera
House, Tuesday evening, was not a success. The
speakers announced to be present from abroad did
not materialize, and the presumption is that they
never intended to. Consequently when the meet
ing had orgaized with Just 40 voters in the house,
including officers, and Mr.. Aultman the chair
man, had called for remarks Messrs Waddle and
Schaefer we're the only gentlemen who knew any
thing about the purpose of the meeting, and the
only gentlemen who said anything about it. One
route proposed Is the Palnesville Canton and
Bridgeport, to run through Geauga, Portage, Stark
and Tuscarawas striking Middle Branch north of
US and Navarro south. Another the Pittsburgh
and Chicago-a sort Of snaky route-snaky in or
der that it may keep off the Fort Wayne road and
run between the same points. OF course both the
proposed routes are to be marrow guage." MesSrs.
Aultman Barr, Dannemiller, schaefer and Tyler
were appointed to obtain the popular sentiment
concerning the matter-but further than this 1t is
difficult to see what good the meeting accom-
plished.

RUNAWAYs-Last Tuesday morning three
horse team belonging to Abraham ZoItman, of
Osnaburgh, loaded with 81 bushels of coal, ran
from the scales at Aultman's Office TO the corner
Of the old Ball property, where they were stop
ped by tree. There was no unusual occurrence
to frighten them, which is another argument to-
ward establishing the total depraviy of all things
animate. Before striking the tree the wagon
struck the corner Of the high paling fence and
tore off about twenty-five feet Of it. The fence,
posts and all was moved some distance and the
coal spilled, The wagon was locked.
Tuesday afternoon. George ]. Trump, Of East
TuRcarawaS street, 65 or 70 years Of age was pain
fully injured by a runaway He was driving
south on Rowland street, with load of fence
posts When near the railroad his horse took
fright at the 800 express, and Notwithstanding
the old lgentlemans attempt to stop him, ran,
across the track just ahead Of the engine. In
crossing the track Mr., Trump was thrown off by
the turning Of post and fell very close to the
track, and the engineer was sure he had run over
him. He received several painful injuries, how
ever one ON the hand and one beneath the eye,
thought to have been done by posts falling on
him.
A Mrs. Hammond, of unenviable fame and
another bird Of the same feather, who were driv-
ing in the vicinity were thrown from their car
riage because Of the drunken inability to manage
the horse, which frightened at Mr.. Trump's un-
fortunate codteLemps 1t Is said the Madam was
bruised in the epigastric region.
About the same time a team belonging to Abra-
ham Voorhes, of 0snaburg, ran east from the rail-
road crossing on East Tuscarawas street, past a
three horse team, facing west-the lead horse
turned and started to follow the first team tearing
off the wagon tongue and throwing one OF the
wheel horses beneath the wagon.
Wednesday morning, County Surveyor John
Hollis horse ran away from the blacksmith north
Of the st, Cloud, and after making grand round
by North street, hauled up before the DEMOCRAT
building, with the carriage badly smashed and
hind leg badly cut.
