On Monday of this week A. G. Bow
ers, of Boon's Creek, announced him
self as an independent Republican can
didate for the Legislature, at the same
time severely c~riticising the action of
the recent Republican County Conven-
tion which nominated John Alfred
Mathes. 1t is useless to add that the
speech as well as the candidacy of Mr..
Bowers are both heartily approved by
the Democrats, who think they see in
it a chance to he elect Squire Bowman.
Just what Mr.. Bowers expects to ac-
complish by running as au Independent
is more than we are able to say-but
we can say this much Neither Mr..
Bowers nor Squire Bowman will be
elected. The Republicans are going to
win in this election-we are going to
elect our entire ticket. Washington
County owes it to the great Republican
party to send a Republican to the next
Legislature, and we are, going to do it.
The convention that nominated Mr.,
Mathes was regularly called and was
composed of the representative men OF
the party. Public notice was given.
and all who were aspirants o rthe nom
nation had all summer in which tc

tage was taken of any one. The mem
bers felt that all of the candidates
were first class young men; but in thii
as in all conventions, only one mar
could secure the prize-all the Others
had to be defeated. The roll was call
ed, and the delegates from each distric
cast the votes of their districts withou
any interference upon the part of any
one, and the result of the one ballo
taken was: A. c. Bowers 6 votes, o
Nj. Brabson 14t votes, DR.. Royston IA
votes, John Alfred Mathes 434 votes
The convention was composed of o

ceived a clear majority of the whole
and was therefore declared the nomi
nee. and the Republicans of old Wash
ington will elect him. The issues a
stake are too important to fool ava,
any time on boilers. Squire Bowman
made a record in the last Legislator
that the Republicans of this county ar
exceeding anxious to ''sit down" upon

deep that he will never have the chanc
to vote for any more Democratic ''forc

AT the recent August election John
son City was not represented on the
county Republican ticket this omis-
sion, however, did not cause the stall
wart Republicans of that hustling city
to sulk in their tents-they did their
whole duty and contributed their full
share toward winning the glorious vic
tory we achieved in August. There
fore, when the convention met to NOM
mate a candidate for the Legislature,
johnson City came with a candidate
and a solid delegation at his back, ask
ing recognition. The Republicans from
other portions of the county felt that
it was just and proper that they should
have the candidate up there this time,
and hence John A. Mathes was nomi-
mated on the first ballot. And right
here we wish to say that this is the first
time that the Republicans of johnson
City have ever been honored with the
candidate for the Legislature at a reg
lar election. In 1889 Esquire Hart was
a candidate at a special election, and
in 1880 A. B. Bowman was a candidate
for the nomination, but was defeated
by Esquire Grisham, and in 1890 E. II.
Mclaughlin was an aspirant but was
defeated by L. E. Shipley. All other
sections of the county have been more
or less honored in this regard. Jones
boro has had the candidate four times:
Judge Hacker two years, DR.. Mahoney
four years, and Esquire ]. F. Grisham
two years. The nominations of Ma
honey and Grisham also honored the

In his address to the veterans in
Washington during the encampment,
General Sickles, an old Democratic
wheel horse, said Harrison did not
serve by substitute" take this home
with you and tell it to your neighbors
and friends" and they would see that
no man is elected to an office of profit
or trust who opposes the payment of
pensions to the soldiers who put down
the late rebellion"

by the election of Colonel Patton in
1865, also by the nomination of DR..

THE Grand Army Of the Republic has
evacuated Washington City and the
Treasury Building still stands. 1t is,
however, not during Congressional va

to make its most effective raids upon

No doubt had the Grand Army been
made up of such men as the late Dem
ocratic State Treasurers of Tennessee,
Kentucky, Arkansas, and other South
ern States, not only the building and
contents, but the ground it stands upon

and we examined the interior of the

we also examined the bedding and
found it in good order and sufficiently

visited the county house frequently be-
fore Mr.. Whites appointment, and we
find it in as good, if not better, condi-
ton at present than ever before, and
the surroundings are in a very nice

and we believe Mr.. White and his good

How an Ola Phrase Originated.

The phrase That beats bobtail," is
not uncommon even now in many parts
Of the country, especially in the south.
Its origin is traceable to race which
occurred about 1910 or shortly before
that year on the famous Fairfield track
on the Mechanicsville turnpike, neal
Richmond. In those days Bob Poin-
dexter lived in Richmond. He was q
sporting man, wore fine clothes and
owned q mum Der of horses. Among his
animals was one he named Pizarro, a
plain bay gelding, with black name and
tail, the latter bobbed short.
There was nothing extraordinary about
the horse, and nobody looked upon him
as racer. But Poindexter took a no
ton that he could run. He used to
drive Pizarro about Richmond hitched
to buggy. On the day that he was adj
vertised to appear on the track great
crowd was present and excitement ran
high, for a good deal of money had been
put on the other horses. To the aston
ishment Of everybody Pizarro beat every
horse on the track. and the people went
fairly wild.
Bobtailed Pizarro never made much
of record. He won two or three races,
and then went TO pieces. For years
afterward. when anything extraordinary
happened in that section it was said OF
1t, That beats bobtail. - Baltimore
