 Demopolis, Sept 27.-(Special Core spondence 1.-The many friends of Judge John C. Anderson of the First Judicial district are talking of bringing him out for congress in the next campaign. Your correspondent has not had an opportuni- ty to interview Judge Anderson on the subject so does not know what he thinks of it. We do know. however. that if he should determine to make the race he will be mighty near the lead when the stretch is reached, and the one who leads him under the string will have to be a thoroughbred, and no mistake. Judge Anderson is one of the ableSt men in Alabama He is bold and courageous and a stauncher or truer democrat does not live in the United States. This whole country is filled with his friends from boundary, line to boundary line, and every one of them will quickly put their shoulder to the whee flor him should he consent to make the race. He is one of the few men who will stand or fall by principle He has no greed for office, and the people who send him to congress by their votes will never have cause to regret it.
