serves great credit He has learned
to read and write withouta ny assist
ance except in public schools, and
he is making craftsmanship n spe-
cialty; he never expresses an opin-
ION until he polls the crowd, and
never knew him To forget himself
but once, and then he took il back
and called a fellow liar. / tell
you, / see daylight ahead Of that
young man, certain. And he's got
good constitution; l have had
him examined. There amt no
"bill OF credit" foolishness about
him; what "bill" he has got is
rather "discredit.'
Say, l wish you would put your
foot on the toe Of that fellow that
runs your town paper-"The New
Error" or something of that sort;
he talks too loud, and the first
thing you know he'll "show our
hand" You tell him il he'll save
all his thoughts for about $50 years,
That he can then run a newspaper
successfully for a month or so. IL
his thoughts amt worth having, tell
him to give them all away in one
number and resign.
Who is Mr.. Hearn? l want TO
write him and thank him for his
bold speech in the convention,
wherein he said "the newspapers
are all telling lies about this meet
ing" being composed of Office
seekers" Now nobody but an or
binary man would suppose any.
thing of the kind about that meet
ing; in fact, its reputation hardly
needed a defense; but l was glad
there was one man present brave
enough to call the newspapers liars
1t makes IA newspaper feel bad.
One mAn standing up and lighting
whole nest Of newspapers is u
brave sight. Did you ever see
boy with nothing on but might

jackets2 Well, one fellow lighting
newspapers always reminds me OF
that boy. It's brave act, and he's
got a good many dead yellow jack
cts, but It never did seem 20 me
like them dead yellow jackets com

Hearn. Most Of the boys here
think he lives in Dade county, Ga.
Is this SOP Has he got any given
manner
Don't you think we had better
sorter "cut loose" from the people a
little. / have been thinking lately
Of this curious state Of things, that
while we are always with the people
on all questions. when IL comes To
electing men To office, they seem TO
sorter want us TO still ''stay with
the people" You remember they
elected Senators Harris and Bailey
both highest kind Of tax men
and left some of our folks at home.
Now, as long as it's just simply alb
sLract questions--that Is, abstraCting
things that belong 10 other people
they are with us, but when IL comes
TO electing somebody 10 Office, why
we've kinder got with the minority.

Dick and Bob are raised together
run ogether-Dick thinks what's
good enough for him is good en- ough
for Bob, and when he goes 70 vote
he votes for Pete, because Pete
seems TO think more Of himself
than Bob does" Don't you reckon
it's on this principle2 Would it not
be well for us TO set ourselves up
just a little above Dick2 That's a
powerful sneaking inclination I'm
human nature TO climb-it starts
even in boy.
l don't want you TO forget TO re-
sign as lawyer before you become
Governor. If you wait until you
become Governor. / an sorter afraid
that some constitutional question
