JUDGE EARLE's SUICIDE.

-~st last the hide-and-seek game of
Judge Earle has stopped and he is
out in an address in to-day's News
aud Courier. Last Monday one of
his friends was here and filed a
pledge for him; q little later said
pledge was withdrawn as per instruc-
tions from Judge Earle, and still
later the pledge was renewed, why
we cannot say. In the address re-
ferred to "I-will-and-I-won't" Earle
fails to say word about bis letter to
Senator Irby, written l@ith reference
to this matter Nota hint is there
in that addrssstbat he wrote to his
Ccasin John Irby about this race be-
fore any explanation on the bond
matter came from Governor Evans,
and in fact before the insinuation re-
hecting on the Governor came out in
the New York Times.
Not one word is there in the address
to say why he has taken Cousin John
Irby's place in the fight, nor does he
give any reason why Cousin John
aunked. We expect to pay our re-
spects to Judge Earle a little later
and we also expect to hammer some
nails into his political coffin. Twill
and-I-wont-Earle has disappointed
not only his former friends, but he
has also betrayed the new friends
who picked him up out of the politi-
cal gutter, washed his face and gave
him political respectfully, but We
will make him feel it regardless CT
the whine he puts up in the address,
ssI am in accord with Senator Tillman
in the positions assumed by him in
the Senate, and if elected I shall sup
plement his able efforts to protect the
rights of the people with such power
as I may have and with all the ear
nestness of my nature" Talk about
coat-tail swinging, what is this ?
Judge Earle has forgotten that Till
mans coat-tail has been sent out
West and it will not be back until
after the Presidential election. Poor
Earl, we pity him, and if We could
have mixture prepared as an anti
dote for .sCereboo swingiasis coat
taihbus" we would surely beg him to
take it until cured of his dreadful
greed for Office. There was time
when Earle was eft to wear crown"
and when he was looked upon as the
noblest Roman of them all, but now
aI would rather oe a dog and bay
the moon than such a Roman"
Judge Earle, do not besmirch the
ermine given you by the people, by
entering political scramble for Of
fee. If you will be greedy and will
be politician, for the sake of decen-
cy throw down the ermine that it
may not become soiled. Resign!
Resign! Resign! IfJudge Earle is
a candidate for the high Office Of
Senator why has he not the manhood
to make his fight without piteously
appealing for a place on Tinman's
coat-tail? He should have stated his
views on the issues in a clear man
mer and then gone before the people
with his claims, but this no man will
do afflicted as Judge Earle appears to
be until he has become fully inoculated
with turnlas looslbus Benlbua-ques
coattaili1luna. This remedy is pre-
pared by class living on the farms
and in the workshops who work and
sweat for living and they are known
to the world at large as the s'wool
hat boys and the sooner Judge
Earle seeks the remedy the better it
will be for him and his will-and-I-
wont political policy.
It has been for the past two years
our desire to heal up iactional differ
ences and we nope there Will be
nothing in this campaign to cause US
