THE n
Wire Pulling IN Behalf of the Various
Candidates.

The scene az the Exchange Hotel was
a rather lively one last evening. and
among the members OF the General As
sembiy there could be seen n good many
statesmen from various sections Of the
State. who were present to help the
chances of their respective candidates
for judges for the Supreme Court OF Ap-
peals.
The situation has changed but little,
and while II is taken for granted that a
slate has been agreed upon by the same
majority who dictated the nominations
on former occasions, yet nothing is taken
for definite. and it is feared that at the
last moment a combination might be ef-
fectcd by a few, who in that manner
would become leaders In the caucus. in
order TO elect candidates who previously
have been regarded as representing the
minority.
II is pretty well understood that some
OF the members OF the two houses did
not feel any too well after their return
from their trip 10 their homes during the
recess. where they could inform them
selves as TO the wishes Of their constltu-
ents. II was openly stated In the lobby
OF the hotel last evening that one mem
Der II the General Assembly had written
home recently that he would resign his
place II a petition TO that effect. signed
by fifty Of his constituents, should be
submitted TO him.
Speaker Cardwell is by many considered
as the strongest candidate. and his cleo
ton to the bench is declared by all 10 be
a certainty. Besides him. there are about
A dozen or more candidates from which
the other four selections have 70 be made.
While some members think that the
chances % Judge Mann. 81 Nottoway. are
varv good others believe that Major
RELY. OF Halifax. will develop greater
strength.
Judge Horsley Is also said to have
grown stronger than he was before
Christmas. II Is thought by some that
the Southwest will likely not secure any
representation on the bsnch. for the rea-
son that they have quite a number OF APP
plicants from that portion OF the State.
and that the preferences OF their repre-
sentatiyes I'm the General Assembly arc
divided.
II has been suggested that the various
candidates be voted for zen bloc so
that all candidates are placed IN nominal
ton. five OF whom are 20 be voted Tor
until n IL selected. and subsequently
-Four. three. two. and one. until the whole
number has been secured. In that man
ner II is possible that the geographical
location will be neglected. and that two
or more candidates viii be selected from
the same section OF tho State.
In view OF the fact that the number OF
candidates Is so great. and the NOMINATING
speeches will occupy several hours u

there was nothing in life sadder than
all old man who had spent his life
gathering wealth. and at the end desir-
ing nothing more than drop of water
to cool his parched tongue.
To get there politically was not to get
very far nor to get very high. If he
had an enemy on whom he wished to
bring the worst thing that could happen
10 him he would give him an itch for
office and set him struggling to attain
it. a hog might appear clean, but
when he went into dirty pool and
wallOwed in 1t he came ont cleaner than
the man who went into the dirty
pool OF politics. Men and wom-
ell want Office and are eternally
after it, but as we magnify Office we
minimize manhood. He spoke of the
calves turned out by Cleveland. They
had never eaten either grass or graf {;
all they had done during their lives was
get hold OF teat, wiggle their tail and
suck, and lot of Democratic calves
were crowding in to repeat the same
performance. Washington CITY was
becoming great COW pan filled with
the cow gave milk.
He then told them how to get there
through true character, and insisted
that such man would get there and
stay there, even when the world burned
down. Ten pigs and one pen would
make ten hogs under all circumstances,
unless some of them should die, but
ten boys were not certain 10 make
ten men. Six might make drunkards,
two gamblers and two dudes, and thus
all miss what should be the higher
! aim of all. He deprecated placing
, gold above God, chattels above char
acter and manners above manhood
He did not believe man of character
could come from the card table, billiard
hall and saloons, but there is way OF
life, of energy. of enthusiasm, which
never fails when the battle for success
is oil.
because he had motive. An engine is
organized iron; life is organized mo-
tives. Give a man two good motives in
action. and he will go. He illustrated
the idea by a laughable dog story, and
Insisted that man with well defined
purposes ahead and the devil and his
agents behind woald surely get there, If
he kept going.
He paid high tribnte to ST. Paul and
Minneapolis, and to the pluck and vim
which has built them. and said they
were but the disclosure OF American
enterprise. He spoke of enterprising
Christianity, but didn't think much OF
the Christian who spends his time
striving for recognition hereafter. Give
him a harp and cosy corner in
heaven and hs didn't care whether
anybody recognized him or not. 1t was
recognition here that he wanted. "Men

Get There and Stay There" was the
subject of his lecture. The first part of
the subject is a something born of the
present decade. 1t belongs to the click,
the push. the rush-an expression of the
enthusiasm of the past ten years.
"Men and women talk of how to get
there in 'sawciety,' but when they get
there they ha vent got very high" He
spoke of society as a something gone to
seed, and of the dude as "a pimple on
society,"" while dudIne was like "a
pimple on the face with the stuff
squeezed out of it, A boy saw a dude
coming down the street and asked his

the thief, the gambler. the drunkard or

family prayer. with its words of affec-
tion, overlooked by God from the tower
ing spires and jasper walls of heaven
the homes from which the men will
come who Can and will govern this
glorious country.
He spoke of men of character, of men
with mot yes. OF men with pure and
holy purposes, God-fearing men, who
love and are ready to help their fellow
men of the faith that wins. and insists
th at "God will put his angels OIL half
