THIRD PARTY CONVENTION.
ONLY EIGHT COUNTIES WERE REP

At the Meeting i'm Dawson Thursday--Wi1

date on August Goth.


date on August 29th.
A convention of populist of the second
congressional district was held in Daw-
son Thursday.
/ The meeting was called by DR.. J. II.
Pickett, of Worth county, chairman OF
the district executive committee, and
was for the purpose Of reOrganizng the
committee and naming time and place
for nominating a congressional candi-
date.
Delegates from the ditfereat counties
came in slowly, and all the morning it
seemed as if quorum would fail to ma
terialize. The district chairman, DR..
Pickett, even failed to appear.
The II O'Clock train brought IN few
recruits, however, and the convention
assem- bled in the county court room at
1890 o clock.
In the absence of Dr. Pickett, Mr.. N.
T. Crozier, of Randolph county, was
elected chairman of the meeting, and
Mr.. Dick Fletcher, of Terrell, was made
secretary. Chairman CroZier revie we'd
the work of the old parties and told
what the populists would do, and then
began The business of the meeting. A
call showed that only eight of the fifteen
counties in the district were repre-
sented, bare quorum. The counties
from which delegates responded were
Terrell, Randolph, Clay, Early Calhoun,
Mitchell, Colquit and Miller.
New committeeman were elected for
the counties represented, and Mr.. CroZier,
of Randolph was made chairman of the
district committee. Messrs. j. j. Tay-
Tor and Adolphus Gammage are the Ter
rell members, and Dir. Baldwin and Mr..
Crozier the Randolph members.
Albany was selected as the place for
holding the convention to nominate
congressional candidate, ana August
10Th is the day.
After the business of the meeting was
finished Colonel Ben Christie, of Daw-
son, Colonel George Craps, of Clay, and
Mr.. Harrell, of Calhoun, made some
spirited speeches in which the old par
ties were severely scored.
The delegates were not disposed to
talk much about their probable candi-
dates, but THE NEWS learned enough 10
say hat they are looking to Hon. W. E.
Smith, of Decatur county, to bear their
flag in the congressional race. Mr..
Smith is a graduate Of the State Univer
sity and is a prominent and substantial
cIIiZen Oh MS county, dAd "ouiu no
doubt put up the best fight of any man
in their ranks.
1t was the opinion that Tom Watson
would not be candidate for governor,
but that he would try conclusions with
Major Black for congress and then for
the senate if ,he populsts should cap
ture the legislature, which IS very i'm
probable.
The few present were very enthusias
tic and made dig claims, but the fact
that SD few of the counties in the district
were represented would seem to be con-
vincing proof that the people are not
.eady 20 take hold of their vsgaries.

A CLOSE SHAVE.
Three British Lads who Were Caught by
the Tide.

Mr., F, II. GFundy, an Englishman,
who afterwards had plenty of adven-
lures at home and abroad, tells us how
near he came to missing them all. He
was small boy, and, with his brother
aud another mate, was playing upon
the seashore, They We're on a sand
bank, and knew that the incoming tide
would fill the lower levels behind them
before the bank itself would be covered.
We knew, butheedednot We heard
distant shouts, but did not turn Be-
tween the ever rising water and the
dam of sand the battle waged. Some
thing startled us--we looked round-lo!
a great sea shut us off from the main
land!
a crowd upon the farther side was
shouting at us. My two sisters stood
at the waters edge, fast becoming des-
perate. A mounted man, fur away,
galloped furiously toward US over the
sands.
My brother, with that presence OF
mind in danger which makes each Eng
lishman hero, started off at once by
himself, and was soon far ahead Tom
Royle, my senior by three years, with
the brave hot blood of Welsh gentle
man, dashed after him. l, with the
sight of these gallant actions before
me, cried and followed ] saw my
brother, the water to his waist, cross
safely.
Ton Royle jumped in with Yun and
disappeared; he had fallen. but was
out again directly Ipassed him mean
while, and was IN the water.
How far it looked TO safety! Ths

The trouble with some editors
and public men of this state is that
they are afraid to speak out against
the corrupt men who :are in high
places for fear those men may be
successful and then when pie is dis
tributed the aforesaid editors and
public men will be left out In the
cold. As for the TIMES 1t depends
upon the people for support and
not these corrupt men and will be
found filling the position of q. true
newspaper by informing the people
when their leaders have used meth.
DDS and done things that make
them no longer worthy OF trust.
The TIMES Is also ready to help the
people get rid Of such leaders.
There are some little alleged repub-
lican editors, who roar when these
corrupt leaders roar and try to
throw dust in the eyes Of the Poop
le and blind them to the fact Of
their leaders peradity just for the
sake of a dry bone tossed their way
now and then. But ~ an esteemed
exchange says "Paid for zeal some
times over reaches itself" and Poop
lie soon know when zeal is paid for
and lose confidence in the paper or
man manifesting such zeal. The
TIMES speaks out for what we be-
lieve is right well knowing that our

people and not in the least caring
for the opinion or respect of the
corrupt men in power or their Gu

HOUK-.GIBS0N.

The action of the State Execu-
tive committee was what might
have been expected in the Houk-
Gibson contest. The only thing
surprising is that 1t met with the
appreciation of so many of the COM
mittee. 1t was fair to presume
that Baker would do what he could
to have Houk elected on personal
grounds and Houk having "appeal-
ed" his case from the people of the
district to the National Congress
ional committee and received its
Endorsement and request for the
state commi tee to do likewise, 1t
was easy sailing.
We have always been taught to
believe that the people is the court
of last resort in POLITICAL matters.
Houk and Gibson submitted their
claims to the court and the returns
show Gibson's nomination by over
1000 majority. Houk had the ma.
chinery of the district with him
and puts up the astonishing claim
that in spite of this, Gibson beat
him stuffing. He pleads the baby
act in fact and being in, has turned
every wheel to help him defeat
his opponent. The only drawback
now is that he must so before the
people again In November and
they may not indorse his scheme
of having their opinions reversed
by the politicians.
Bakers action will surely
strengthen him for Governor
among Houk's friends but if it does
not defeat him for the nomination
we will be much surprised. The
Houk dynasty may be perpetuated
in the 2nd district but in the state
it must end if the republican party
ever expects TO accomplish any.

The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1894-08-01

SOME of the papers contain re.
ports that it is probable that Cap
tain Gibson may withdraw from,
the congressional contest owing to
the fact that Jefferson county re.
publicans endorsed Houk so closely
following the endorsement given
him by the state committee. Al
the time the republicans of the
county endorsed Captain Gibson foI
congress when there were at least
twice as many present as were al
the Houk convention last Saturday
we saw nothing in the papers to
the effect that Mr.. H0uk would
probably withdraw. Strange things
happen occasionally.-Dandridg
