column or three of the ave, st least.
The following are the resolutions az
adopted:
whereas, The Hon. James williams

more than forty years, and daring hii
entire life has been a stauneh Democrat
an active and earnest worker fer the
party, and has stFiyen to Rphold Demo
cratic principles 20 that lofty STANDARD
set by that arch-patFiot and Democrat
Thomas Jefferson; and,
whereas, Mr. Williams has reflected
such credit upon our state and upon this
community by the able and henorabls
way in which he represented ms in Con
gress that we believe that he is deserving
Of higher honors, and we would only be
doing ourselves credit in farther Gle
waiting him, and
Whereas, Mr.. Williams's position ia
the late fractional strife was an honorable
one and showed that he priced Demoera-
tie principles higher than personal at
taehments, and
Whereas, This unique and honorable
position has made him no enemies and
has multiplied his friends, so that there
is nc. Democrat in the county or state
who can truthfully say aught politically
against him, and
Whereas, MFR. Williams thus possesses
the happy combination of a political
record that will assure him the support
Of every Democrat, and a private
character and public life that win be
unassailable under the severest serutiny
of the Republican party, now therefore
