A Few Points About the Dem
ocratic LET.
" m MOONS

w. II. WOODS.
The Democratic nominee for
County Judge is gentleman OF
much common sense. a fair educa-
ton, and considerable experience
in presiding over a court. Ills ex-
tensive acquaintance over the
county has put him In position TO
know the needs OF the county. He
would administer the duties of
County Judge in fair, impartial
manner, without fear or favor.
This is what the masses Of the peo-
pie want, regardless Of politics, in
the Office Of County Judge.
G. w. SKAGGs.
For County Attorney the Demo-
Gratis have a man who deserves the
encouragement which election to
this office would give him. He
came from humble, but intelligent
parentage, and was reared without
the advantages so helpful TO a man
who subsequently enters pro-
iession. However, by much perse-
verance and hard study he has
overcome the difficulties 10 such an
extent that he Is now a good law
yer. He has splendid natural
ability and is a liberal, open heart
ed man--too generous for his own
financial good. lie is a good Dem
ocrat and is entitled to the full sup
port ofthe party.

II is unnecessary TO consume any
space in speaking Of our candidate
for County Clerk, because he is so
wen known and his record Is such
that it tells all that the people care
20 know. Not the slightest objec
tion can be found to the manner
in which he has conducted this
very important office. His admin
istration Is highly complimentary
to him In every respect. His In
flexible rule Is to carry out the let
ter Of the law. No change Is
needed here and the people know

sci for W. Il. ID. Stokes and cx-MayOr A. Oakley
Hail. counsel fC- William II. Martin Jointly in
diced for alleged libel on Edward s. Stokes I'm
the reargumcnt Of demurrer. Judge Cowng had
overruled the demurrer in April. 1885, but new coun-
sci into the case and reargument was al
lowed. Mr.. Rollins rested his argument on two
points FIrrt. that the allegations In the Indictment
do not constitute crime and. second. that the
communications alleged 10 have put forth agans..
Edward :. Stokes. were privileged. because the
defendant Stokes only sent the communica lions To
Edward 8. Stokes. president of the Hoffman House
Corporation, and the treasurer. Mr.. Cornish
Mr. Hall. for W. Il. Martin. said that precisely the
facts alleged against his client as against
W r.. d. Stokes and ne asked for n postponement
OF the criminal trial. Two other cases were pend
Ing against Mr. Man'in. and IL would be n hardship
to compel him stand trial before the civil suits
were decided He ended by saying: ITS mon
strosity that "A man who vas once sentenced To be

Wet lock step should occupy the courts In an at
tempt to bolster up his character
