JUDGE HoUKs friends claim that
he was sober when he spoke here
last Saturday. Others thought he
was slightly paired" Be this as it
may, as he came to Maryville,. near
the residence of Mr.. James Harmon,
a bottle fell from his buggy, and
young Mr.. John Seaton came riding
up behind on horseback. Seeing
the bottle fall, he alighted, picked it
up and found it about half full of
liquid that had the appearance of
whisky. 1t looked like whisky, and
when he shook it it beaded like
whisky in fact, he was fully con-
vinced that it was whisky. The
young gentleman then urged his
horse on and overlook 1.-The gifted
Congressman, handed him tine bot
tie and ''the gifted Congressman
said it was his and placed it back in
his buggy.
We would urge our sheriff to be
on the alert That very bottle may
have had "cold poison" in it, and it
would be too bad to allow the rascal
who put it in ''the gifted Congress-
mans" buggy to escape.-Maryville

NEW YORK CONTEST.
Comments of the Press.

comments Oh the HreSS.
The New York Democrats have
stultifed themselves, swallowed
Tammany Hall, Renowned Boss
Kelly, rejected every conspicuous
candidate for Governor, and nomin-
ated an obscure and insignificant as
pirant. The admission of Tammany
is the reputation of every profess
sion. . With united Democracy
New York is close and doubtful.
The Republicans enter the campaign
with the advantage of an able and
irreproachable candidate, but with
the disadvantage that he was NOM
mated by questionable methods. 1t
will be a vigorous and uncertain
battle.-Philadelphia Press (Rep.)
The result of the Syracuse Cons
vention, though reached in the midst
of the unseemly tumult and disorder
characteristic of a Democratic assem-
blage, nevertheless involves a sur
prising display of sagacity. An
opportunity was presented to the
party such as it could never have
made for itself, and it required little
wisdom to take advantage of it; but
it so seldom does a wise thing at
the critical moment that there was
little ground for expecting it at this
time The immense vote of the
State of New York is so evenly
divided between the two parties
when both are united that a contest
between them on equal terms Is
always doubtful Unfortunately it
cannot be claimed that the RepubIiA
cans are at present heartily united
and in position to exert their full
strength. The nomination
of Mayor Cleveland, of Buffalo, for
the office of Governor is likely to
prove one of exceptional strength
and popularity From all that is
known of the man he appears to repre-
sent not only the better element and
higher character of the Democracy
of the State, but, partizanship apart,
some of the best qualities of our civic
and political life. The ticket was
completed last evening in a way that
introduced no element of weakness.
Conceding all this, and recognizing
fairly and fully the strength of the
enemy's forces and position, it is for
the Republicans of the State to re-
member all that they have at stake in
this contest. They have reason to
feel disappointed and depressed; but,
after all, this fight is theirs, and no
power can take it away from them,
to bear alone the responsibility and
consequences of its result. They
have still the right to control their
own party affairs in this State, to
elect their candidates, and hold them
to their responsibility to the people
of the State. This they can do if
they are united and earnest, and by
50 doing they can most effectuaIly
shake off the hand that is paralyzing
their party organization.-New York
Times
