JUDGE NoONAN A WINNER.

| JODGE NOONAN n WYNN Eh.
The certainty of McKinley's
election aids Judge Noonan be-
cause Indifferent voters, so far as
party politics are concerned, will
come to the side of the presiden-
tial success. Who wants a Pop
ocratic congressman in a congress
controlled by a Republican ma
jority; who wants a Popocratic
congressman in Washington dur
ing a Republican administration.
He would only be ornamental,
not useful. We want the man
who would have influence with
the powers that be when it comes
to ask for favors and legislation
for our district.
Everyone must remember that
the last canvass was novel
thing to the people of this dis
trict.
There was but one issue, the
tariff, Judge Nonan's Democrat
ic opponent, Mr.. Houston, was an
able man, a trained politician
and his party had not then gone
to pieces on the silver craze.
Houston made an exhaustive
canvass of the district and was
ably sustained in every quarter;
yet he was beaten. Judge Moo
mans friends had to put forth
every eXertion; the district was
new to most of his friends-the
Judge himself was a stranger to
a large part of the district. But
this time it is different. The peO-
pie of the district know Judge
Nonan, and they have confidence
in his ability to serve them faith
fully in congress. His Oppon-
ents, the POpulist and POpocratic
candidates, are both running on
the same issue, free silver; in
stead of a trained and able Dem
ocratic politician, Judge Noonan's
Democratic or rather Popocratic
opponent, Mr.. Slayden, is fresh
hand at national politics-he has
been engaged until recently in
the cotton buying business; his
firm recently went into bankrupt
cy-he has some acquaintance
in the district, but the people
who voted for Noonan last time
are not going to change off now
for Mr.. Slayden, who supports
Bryan, the free trader, for con-
gress. The very certainty of
Judge Noonan's reelection has
caused his friends to feel easy
and not exert themselves as last
time. But to make things GER
tain, every sound money man
and every man who favors the
restoration of a protective tariff,
should come to the front and
take an interest in Judge Moo
mans election. Don't go to sleep
because you feel secure from
danger.
