The Democracy of the countyof
Madison in convention at tJackson,
passed the following in reference
to Congressman Enloe:
"The record of Hon. B. A. Enloe
in Congress, his vigilant attention
to every public interest, his stern
and unwavering warfare made in
behalf of the great agricultural in
terests of the country against the
gigantic powers of monopolies and
trusts and against the encroach-
ment of Capitalization, his eminent
ability and untiring energy, his
maturing experience and acquaint-
ance with legislative rules, the fact
that the Democrats of Congress
have honored him with a public
testimonial of duty and merit, the
fact that his influence and stand
ing in Congress is exceptional for
his years of experience; in view of
all of these and the furthur consid-
Grafton that it is the judgement Of
the Democracy of Madison County
that in theapproaching conflict fol
the passage Of force bills, centraliz-
ing an oppressive election law and
other contemplated encroachments
ofan arrogantand tyrannical major,
ity upon the liberties Of the peo
pie; that the Democratic party vii
need the energy, ability, and cour
age of men like Mr.. Enloe in tht
next Congress; therefore, withou
any disparagement to the standing
or ability of his distinguished op
J ponents, the solid Democracy o
Madison County respectfully com
mend him to the Eighth Congress
sional District for reelection. W.
, heartily endorse him for reelection
and commend fully his 'courag

Last week Mr.. r. B. Hayes, Of

cago Herald as a professional

and honestly elected as president
of the Mohonk' Negro Conference.
Our esteemed contemporary, the

of this unexciting incident, asserts
that this is the first time Mr.. Hayes
has ever been legally elected as
president of anything. That is moi
quite true Mr.. Hayes has been

developed to prophesy in regard to
the Congressional campaign ia
Tennessee. Of the Republicans,
Houk has already been renomina-
ted, Evans will have the same dis
tinction, but Alf. Taylor and Rod
erick Random Butler are leaders
of rival factions, growing out of
two conventions. OF the Demo

Washington. If McMillin does
not enter the gubernatorial contest
and win, his return to Congress as
assured. Should General Whit

be similarly honored. Gus Enloe
is antagonized by Bob Cole, but
the indications point to an easy
victory for Enloe, Mr.. Phelah

and there is no telling now who

Tho Romance OF u Prisoner Under Sen.
tencc TO the Pcnitent,nry.
ATLANTA, Ga, June 4.-Ch,istopher
Clarke, a U. s.prisoner in Fulton county
jail, looms up as the central figure in an
interesting romance. Ten days ago
Clarke was sentenced to three years I'M
prisonmeAt at the penitentiary In Colum-
bus. O., and to pay fine Of $500, having
been convicted OF attempting the lives
OF some Deputy Marshals. Since then
Clarke has fallen heir to sixteen hundred
acres of valuable Georgia land, which
has gold beneath its surface. Clarke's
story is this: In 1861 John Clarke,
the father Of tho prisoner, now deceased,
was in Norfolk, Va. He was attracted
by the face Of n pretty woman on the
street. She was a dark.eyed brunette,
who came from Portugal, but her de-
scent was SO disguised by her deep tan
color that come thought she was q ne.
gress, while others believed her to be
an Indian.
A mystery hoyered about her nativity,
which was not even fully solved in her
own mind. John Clarke married her,
and brought her 10 his home in the
Blue Ridge Mountains, Of Georgia.
Clarke was rich Georgia planter then,
and had already been married to an es.
timable lady. Christopher Clarke is
the son of the beautiful Portuguese
wife, and like all the children of this
woman, ie fne-looking brunette, with
much Of the Portuguese in bis appear.
ance. When his father died his landed
estates were claimed by the first wife
and her children, who assert that
Clarke's marriage with the quadroon, as
she called her, was illegal. Six times
the case has annually been tried, and
the ''dark-eyed daughter Of Torrid Land"
with her children, lost the estate, but
the Judges as often set the verdicts aside.
During this prolonged litigation both
mothers have died, and the children
have fought the issue in the courts. On
the last trial one child of the alleged
quadroon proved that the father Of
their mother was Portuguese sailor,
who came into Norfolk on d vessel, and
that he had married what was either
mulatto slave or an Indian,
This proves Christopher Clarke to be
Portuguese and an American citizen,
with no African blood in his veins.
Owing to this proof he has succeeded in
getting a verdict granting him the landed
estate OF his father, which is shared by
his brothers and sisters. The heir and
the telon don't wear we'll together, and
Clarke makes a motion, through his at
torney, in the courts for release on bond.
Clarke is stout, handsome fellow, with
a wildness in his face that is interesting.
1t is said be is betrothed to a pretty
mountain lassie, near Dahlonega, and
now that he finds himself in possession
OF sufficient property, proposes to make
q strong fight for freedom.

:, q. printion-Tho Cause.
WARRINGTON, D. G., June lit is
stated at the Pension Office that the
deficiency in!the amount Of funds in the
hands Of different pension agents which
has resulted in the announcement by
one agent at indianapolis that large
number Of pensioners will be compelled
to wait until July for the payment OF
their pensions, has been caused by the
unusually large number OF allowances
made by the Pension Office under the
present administration, and particularly
since General Raum's term begun.
The great amount OF allowances has
been largely in original cases. There have
been issued already 1000 more original
pensions than were issued during the
last fiscal year, and the office has yet a
months work before the end Of the
present fiscal year. Another drain upon
the appropriation, it is said, was the act
Of March /, 1890, which increased to So
per month all pensions for total dis.
ability requiring the aid and attendance
OF another person. The number Of these
cases is large and involves the expendi.
ture Of large amount Of money. The
Pension Office record representing the
fiscal year will be far ahead OF that for
any single fiscal year for many years.
The final payments by the pension
agents will not be completed until about
June 20, and those who have not been
paid by that time will DO compelled to
wait only a few days until the appropri.
alton for the next fiscal year becomes
available on July l. :.
