reminded one of the earlier days Of

forth from that hall a crowd of Re

In 1882 Tom Goldsworthy, then
as now the Republican candidate
for county clerk, visited hotel in
this county where liquor was sold.
A number being present, Tom in
vited them to take cigars at his ex-
pense, stating that he could not
treat to any intoxicating drinks, as
it was a principle of his not to drink
himself nor to furnish liquor to 9th
ers. Some Of the party desiring TO
drink demurred, that if the candi-
date desired to treat he should allow
them to take what they pleased.
Tom said NO! He would not
sacrifice his principle even to secure
votes enough to elect him, much as
he desired and needed the Office.
The proprietor Of the house, an old
army comrade of TOMS, then spoke
up, saying that he knew Toms SEN
timents on the subject, and 40 mau
should drink at his bar at Toms ex-
pense. And no one did. Probably
some who did not vote for Colds.
worthy would have done SO but for
his determined stand on that princi-
pie. But more unreasonable than
they were those Prohibitionists who
voted against the sturdy one-armed
veteran, for no better reason than
that he differed with them as to the
methods of promoting the cause Of
temperance. Will they do so again

Mr.. CHARLES PRrEsrLEY, brother
OF our "Capt. Tom Priestley," is the
Democratic nominee for assembly
man in the western district Of La
Fayette county. It is unaccounta-
bic that so good a man as Charley
should be Democrat, but that the
Democrats of Lafayette county
should nominate so good a man is
more inexplicable. The district is
ordinarily Democratic by decided
majority, and unless the Democracy
down there discover that Charley
has many Republican virtues which
they cannot appreciate, he will doubt
less be elected. Tom Bright is
