A DAY AT MORGAN.
A LARGE AUDIENCE GREETED JUDGE
GUERRY,


And He Made an Able Democratic Speech
and 'Enthused His Hearers. Call
hOun Is for Him.
Last Wednesday Judge Query had an
to address the people of
Calhoun county on the issues in the con-
gressional campaign.
He left Dawson for Morgal early that
by private conveyance, accom-
panied by Mr.. George Cherry, of Early
county, Hon. 0. B. Stevens and the edi-
tor of The News. We arrived there
about o'clock, and found $50 of the
sturdy farmers of Calhoun in town tohear
the able and eloquent gentleman who is
so well fittedl to represent the district in
congress with honor to himself and cred
it to his constituents.
Judge Query is universally popular
with the people down there, and for
nearly an hour he was busy greeting vo-
ters and Ireceiving assurances of their
support.
At 10 O'Clock the crowd assembled in
the court house to hear Judge Query
speak. He was introduced by Hon. j.
L. Boynton, the able and popular young
representative of Calhoun county in the
legislature, as man who is qualified to
do something in congress, and as one who
would not let the interests of his constit-
uents suffer. Colonel Boynton said that
the Judge would not forget the people
as soon as he got to Washington and
vote for measures hurtful to their inter
ests. but would earnestly endeavor to car
nv cut every pledge he made them while
seeking their votes.
AS Judge Query arose he was greeted
by an outburst of applause that showed
he was among friends. He opened his
speech by paying his compliments those
people who have been trying to cast as
PERSONS upon his private character, and
in scathing manner f1aycd the vipers
who are trying to lower lie campaign to
such plane. He said he was before the
people to discuss issues, and that if an
attack upon the personal character of
Mr.. Russell was the price OF a seat IN
congress he would not have the honor of
REPRESENTING
cised Mr. RusSalrs various and wonder
full positions or lack Of position-on the
silver question. and wanted to know
who re in the name IF common sense
that gentleman is ''at' on this important
question which is now agltating the
mind, of the people and affecting their
interests. He next showed up Mr.. Rus
sells inconsistent votes on the income
tax. and then launched out into one OF
the best democratic speecher ever heard
anywhere. The democrats present were
aroused to high pitch of enthusiasm,
and the third party people WINGED at the
plain truths he told them about what
the triumph of their doctrines would
mean. His peroratIon was grand plea
for the wanderers to return to the fold.
1t was great day for Judge Query in
Calhoun. Every democrat praised his
speech, and Mr. Russell's strongest sup
pCrter in the county congratulated the
Judge and told him that he had never
heard better one.
Calhoun county will select delegates
on August 18th, and they will be for
Judge Query. Mr.. Russells most
active supporters say 50.
MATTERS ABOUT MORGAN.
Morgan is a place of great natural
beauty. and THE News man was never
among cleyerer peple titan he found

and if your stay there is not Il pleasant
one it won't BE- the fault OF those good

held in Calhoun to choose state senator
and q representative. Hon. Jesse Mer-
Ger. who is 50 we'll known in Dawson, is
