AN UGLIER NAN.
HOW JUDGE LESTER SHIFTED THE
JOKE.

Mr.. Nesbitt, son of candidate Mes
bitt, who is running for Commission
er of agriculture, and Judge Geo. N.
Lester candidate for attorney, general
addressed the Alliancemen at the
noon recess for dinner on Wednes-
day. Both made quite favorable i'm
pressions. Judge Lester completes
ly captured the crowd by his witt
cism and humor. The Judge may
pretty safely count on CAROLS vote
we think.
Judge Lester is not a pretty man,
as every body knows, and he made
some allusion to his looks in his
speech Wednesday, whereupon Mr..
Bryce Webb, who is something of a
wag said he would look very we'll
when they got use to him, then the
Judge came back with the following
anecdote: He said that once upon
time there was a man noted for
his ugllness. A friend made pres
ent of fine gun to him on the fol-
lowing condition, that if he ever
found man uglier than lie was, that
he was to shoot him on the spot.
-
Sometime after this, the ugly man
while walking in the road with his
gun in his hand met another hard
featured brother. AS he approached
him he looked at him very closely
and at last concluded he had found
his man and leveled his gun with
view of firing. The strange man
told him to halt, what was the mat
ter. The ugly man admitted that he
had never seen him before and had
nothing against him. The stranger
piled him with questions and finally
the ugly man told him that he was
under vow that if he ever found
an uglier man than he was that he
would shoot him. The stranger
then scrutinized closely the ugly
man and exposing his front said fire
away, if | am uglier than you l am
ready to die. So the Judge got the
laugh on Mr.. Webb and the crowd
enjoyed it hugely from the way they
yelled Carrollton Free Press.

CAN YOU
SHOVE HIM ASIDE ?

"Shove him aside" He has had his day,
He has worked for his party till old and gray,
iii his money is spent and he's now in the way,
Shove him asidel
What matters it now that he always was true,
That he never yet failed when work was to do;
There are stronger men now just rising to view,
Shove him aside!
When the old ship of State was by wars tempest
tossed,
He offered his life as part of the cost,
And gave his right arm to the cause that was lost
But shove him aside!
What matters it now that the sleeve by his side
Hangs empty? The world 1t is wide
And though he meier faltered when trusted and

Shove him aside!
All, Georgians, shall such be the honors YOU nav.

And shove him asidel
Is such the reward your state holds in store
For its brave men who fought, its banners who

No, MOI Let such be the reco rt no more,
Don't shove him aside!
On the day that your ballots silently fall
BE sure that one name is inscribed on them all

Don't shove him aside!

Untarnished and free from all blemish of shame
Standing already high in Georgia's fair fame.

A THRILLING DEBATE.
ELOQUENCE AND THEOLOGY HOLD
THE PEOPLE
In Absorbing Interest For Several
Days.

We learn from an authentic source of
heated discussion that took place not long
ago in one of the mountain counties of
North Georgia, where the whistle of an en-
CINE does not reverberate and a dude is
never seen.
The discussion was on an important
scriptural question. 1t may have never
engaged the mind OF Talmage or Spur
geon, but matters of great spiritual interest
are some times developed outside of these
sources. The debaters of this question were
two young men, who had entered the min
istry of wel>known denomination in
that mountainous region. They were both
about the same physical make>up, diminu
tive in statue, keen, piercing eyes, faces
denoting sun-tanned skin, drawn tightly
over sharp cheek bones. While they might
not have been selected out of a crowd as
great intellectual giants, yet they were
popular in their neighborhood, and in this
memorable debate held their audiences
spell bound. 1t is said the debate lasted
several days, and the paths, leading from
the homes OF this people, through the
mountain Businesses, to the meeting house,
were trodden hard by the throng who went
TO hear these distinguished mountain de-
chalmers. From day to day, the interest
manifested by the people remained unfag-
ging and undiminished.
The solution OF the vexed and mysti6ed
Question,as set forth in the New Testament,
was one that agtated these people no hts
tie, 1t had Two sides to it, and admitted
OF logical and argumentative reasoning
These two mountain ministers, felt equal
to the situation ofthrowing great light upon
it. They had gathered their theology
from the Bible in the primitive simplicity
with which their fathers taught it, finding
sermons In stones and spiritual inspiration
in mountain distillation." AS they arous-
ed the people and thrilled their hearts to
the core, it was very natural for the people
to take sides, and champion their respects
i've opponents version of the question.
The debate was characterized with as
much warmth and earnestness, as the POI
l:tical debates in the 9Th and 7th Congress.
ional districts over the Sub>Treasury bill
1t was patent to all that the two debaters
were matched almost equally in native il
lustration and fertility OF resource, and it
would be hard matter to determine as to
which one had advanced the most convinc-
ing argument as to the righttul interpreta-
ton of the particular portion of scripture
under discussion. And it was finally con-
sidered draw. and the crowd dispersed with
the question still mooted one.
Doubtless Our readers would like to
know the question which was so absorbing
to this people of simple habits and search
ers after truth. In the vernacular of these
mountain expounders of the gospel, the
question was in the shape: Was the dog,
that licked Lazarus sores, white one or
black one?"

Slows TACTICS.
STANFORD'S MANAGER WORKING
AGAINST MARKHAM.
Willing to Trade Everything to Buck
ley for the Legislature-Mark-
ham Men Confident that
He Will Win.

OAKLAND, Aug. 7.-[Special.] The
day closes with several new complica-
tions in the Markham campaign. 1t is
now admitted by all of Markham 8
friends that Stow, Stanford's manager,
is working to defeat Markham, and
wants to engage the Morrow and
Markham men in a quarrel and then
offer Chapman as compromise balm
to both. Stow proposes Judge Fitz-
gerald as candidate for State Senator
on the ground that Col. Otis would not
even ask him regarding his relations to
Stanford.
The candidacy Of Lindley and his
close relations to Stow has alarmed the
friends of Bowers and Mr.. Horton,
Bowers's brother-in-law, says that the
San Diego delegation will not vote for
Markham until they have been given
guaranty that theLosAngeles delegates
will vote for Bowers. 1t is claimed
that certain of the Los Angeles county
delegation, while they love Markham
none the less, love Lindley more.
The summary OF the situation IS
that the Stanford managers will de-
feat Markham if they can, and if this
be true, it proves their intention to
trade everything to Buckley for the
Legislature.
Col. Fred Crocker personally y is not
in harmony with Stow as to the Dem
ocratic nominee.
MARKHAM WILL WIN.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7.-[Special.
The fight for Col. Markham never
looked better. He will certainly win.

the Editorial Tripod.

A Noted Denver Politician Assumes
the Editorial Tripod.
DENVER, (Colo.). Aug. 7. = IBy the
Associated Press. For some time past
there have been various rumors in cir
culation regarding Republican syndi-
cate of this city composed of Senator
WOlcott, his brother Henry Wolcott,
Gov. Cooper, w. H. Griffith and q son
of j. S. Clarkson of Iowa. The syndi-
cate paid $1,000 on the option, which
expired at midnight last night, and as
the remaining 1890, 900 was not forth
coming, Col. John Atkins, president
Of the News Company, called the deal
off and this morning published the
following editorial:
"Mr. Thomas M. Patterson has pur-
chased the whole of Mr.. James M.
Burnell's stock in the Rocky Mountain
News Printing Company, which was
fully one half, and also enough of the
stock owned by Mr.. John Atkins to
give him majority of the stock and
the control of this paper. Mr.. Patter-
son has determined to retire from the
pratice of the law after the closing up
of all of his present business in the
courts by trial or otherwise, and then
to assume editorial management of
the News.
Although, because of his pre-
sent engagements he cannot
now give his personal attention
to the paper he will hold himself
responsible for its editorial utterances.
Henceforth Mr.. Arkins will continue
as heretofore the president and man
ager Of the company"
Mr.. Patterson is we'll known as the
leading Democratic politician and
criminal lawyer of Colorado. He was
candidate for Governor two years ago
and was defeated by Job. A. Cooper.
He was Territorial Delegate to Congress
in the session of 1876 and won q
senatorial reputation for himself in his
speech seconding the nomination of
Mr.. Cleveland at the st. Louis conven-
tiOn.
