a Little Talk on Matter. Both Kclc-
want and irrelevant.
The delegates who went down to Cham-
bcrain last week returned with a strong
flavor of consommc about their persons,
and have since had to stand the jccrs of
their compatriots. Perhaps the result
might have been different. and the object
they sought. which was the election of L.
B. Albright u national delegate, might
have been attained. 1t is easy enough to
figure things different after the result has
been announced, but there is no use OF
crying over spilled milk. The boys tried
to mount the band wagon and landed III
the slop cart. Some of them have got a
vastly deeper insight into the muddy pool
of politics than they ever had before,
however,
There are those who engage in politics
who invariably set their mouths to going
and then go of and leave them. Tins
does not apply to anyone especially and
the FREE PRESS makes no illusions.
The next time Hughes county elects a
set OF delegates to go to n state convention
it will not be divided, but will 90 down
wherever the convention may be-
united in the support of Hon. Coc I. Craw
ford for attorney general. There will be
no cross firing or rosS-purposes to attain
this end. Incidentally, of course, the del
cgatcs will be favorable to the candidacy
of Hon. j. A. Pickler and other men who
have shown their worth and friendship
during times past.
In the Third ward a cancus was called
Tuesday by the republican aud dem
ocratic committeeman to meet as a nom
partisan gathering to nominate an alder
man. Frank Price and j. +. kcrnar
were known to be willing TO wear the
mantle. Both are most excellent, level.
headed. tirSt-clasS business men and who
would be Il credit to the council. Price
signiiicd his willingness TO take the place
several weeks ago, whereas Mr.. Kerna,
was induced to be a candidate a day be.
, fore the caucus. and then only in case Mr.
Price did not run. A good sized gather
ing of electors assembled, and Mr. Price
was made the unanimous choice.
Louis Kehr is in the race for mayor
and to make things interesting there is 9
general scurrying around to find Il candi'
date to put up in opposition. The hum
is getting wild through repeated failures

Hyde. c. w. Richardson. Nj. j. Schubert
ct AL are talked of but we guess they
don't want it. The FREE Press is of tn,
opinion that if the citizens want to close
their search for second man for mayor
Il good candidate might be selected in the
person Of DR.. RobinSon-if he would ac.

class and in every section of the city.
Eugene Cutting and Jas. A. Rose will be
candidates for city treasurer. Both are
| worthy and we'll qualified. and it wonld
be hard matter for Il voter to make q
choice between them in point Of fitness
| a vote for either would be no mistake.

Adolph Ewerl has been mentioned also

the better part of valor and will give Ton,

and j. II. Dusenbury will each be elected

1t may be smart and cute and all that
in the eyes of some proplc, for a newspa

who is called upon TO assume certain re
sponsiblities in which the public is inter
cstcd, but the FREE PRESS is inclined tt
doubt the wisdom of such course Th,
staff of both the Journal and Capita
seem to have this idea firmly imbcddcd il
their minds. Some time ago the Journa
wadcd into Jas. A. Ward in relation t,
his conduct of the work on the new Aber
deem line, and last Saturday the Capita
followed in the same vein. 1t asked if i
would not be advisable to send petition
to Mr. Ward, and concluded as follows
'We are getting anxious for its compile
tion and so long as Mr.. Wards salary con
tinues would it not be but justice that Ii
proceed with all due haste to perform tn
functions of his office. Wellman, Well
and Pratt can be depended upon to ski
the Huntsville boomlet while jamie come
to us to 'bide wee'." BE it known tina
Mr.. Ward does not draw salary fror
the railroad funds as long as he is skinnin
a boo inlet or doing anything else not di
rectly in the work Of building the rail
road. Such insinuations are unjustitiabl
and the FREE PRESS for one shall insis
upon fair play.
