Globc-Demoerat Special
In connection with the stories cir
culated by democratic papers that
General Grant has spoken favorably
of General Hancock as a presidential
candidate, a gentleman tonight re-
called a conversation with him when
in New Orleans in April last. A New
Orleans democratic paper at this time
announced itself for Hancock. Gener-
al Grant, referring to the matter,
said: II don't think Hancock could
be elected. He was a good corps
commander, he is no politician, and |
don't think he is much of democrat
| don't think a second-class soldier
can inspire sufficient enthusiasm to
elect him as a military hero. The
history of military candidates shows
only the commander-in- chief in the
conflict has ever been successful. l
remember in 1864, at the democratic
convention, one vote was cast for Han
cock. | think this was the first time
ne ever knew he was democrat.

DR.. Young j. Allen, a missionary
Of the Methodist church, south, now
at Shanghai, has been made madarin
by the Chinese government. He is
the first foreigner who has received
this distinguished honor. The posi-

great dignity among the Chinese. The
Emporer Of China, in whom is vested
the appointing power, never makes a
Mandarin unless he is profoundly

DR.. Allen is a native of Georgia.
He was born in Coweta county. He

ately after leaving college he went as
missionary to China, where, for
twenty years, he has done noble and
devoted work among that people. So
familiar was he with the Chinese
tonguethat for a number of years
he has edited literary review in
that language. About two years ago
he visited the United States, and dur

First Baptist church. Before enter

has won.

To elect Mr.. Shaw sheriff would be
hurtful to the public good, especially

pute. The Avalanche would declare
Mr.. Shaw's success a calamity to the
public. Colonel Eaton and Judge
Bigelow know this as we'll as the Av-
alanche knows it, for that journal
styles him the notoriously unfit Shaw.
Yet each advocates Mr.. Shaw's elec-

name, voluntarily contributed to his

ment is, Whomsoever the good sup

THE VITAL ISSUE OF THE COUNTY

The man who used his deadly wea-
pom but did not kill, was severely
punished-he thought too severely.
To get his sentence lightened he
proved his good character. But our
Judge said: If cur men of good char
acter do such things, what may be
expected of the bad ? Good character,
he considered, rather an aggravation
Our supreme court took the same
view. It said What men Of good
character do amiss makes the wrong
doing respectable; and becomes an
example which the loose and vicious
are only too anxious to copy. Hence,
a wrong sometimes becomes more
grievous wrong, because Of che good
character of the wrong doer Now
let us apply the lesson contained il
this truth. Colonel Eaton pays hi;
debts, keeps the peace, is 50 orderly
aud well-behaved that he is an orna
ment to society; and men, therefore
incline to follow in his footsteps
