To the People of the 9th judicial
Circuit.
Ihave received letters from Wayne
county, stating that certain false
and slanderous charges are being
extensively circulated against my
personal character, to the effect,
quoting from one of the letters, that
/ am ian out and out inf1del, a
drunkard and desperately immoral
and dissipated.'
have since learned that these
and similar ISLANDERS are being wide
ly circulated throughout other parts
of this Judicial Circuit, to such an
extent that | am forced to the con-
clusion that there is systematic
effort to defame me.
L deny positively, emphatically
and unequivocally each of these
charges, or anything similar that
may not have reached my ears.
While ] have not reached that
point of human perfection that /
can, like the Pharisee of old, stand
in the synagogue and proclaim aloud
my thanks to God that | am not
like other men, still / have so lived
that l have obtained the confidence
and good will of the good people
among whom have lived, and who
having known me all my life, have
twice endorsed me in the primaries
for the office of Circuit Judge, and
for which | was fairly and honora.

My friends have just published
and circulated some endorsements
of my personal and professional
character by the Judges of our Su.

members of the Columbia Bar. AL
OF these eminent Judges are ear nest

Rev. +. B. Webb, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, of which
have been member for many years

"Mr. Holding has always been a
close student of the law, and in the
argument of cases before me he has
always shown such familiarity with
the facts and the law, and such n
nice discrimination betN ell andlo
gous cases in apparent conflict, as
to convince me of his ability as a
lawyer and his fitness to occupy a

mo lawyer who has been opposing
counsel in a case IN which he was
an attorney, will ever question
either Holdings zeal or his ability.
In his practice in the Circuit
Court during the time | occupied
the bench, l was always impressed
with the clearness and force of his
arguments, and was very often in
debted to him for new light thrown
on the legal questions involved.
So far as my acquaintance eX-
tends, there are few lawyers of his
age in the State, who are his equals
in professional ability.
Being man of fine legal attain
ments, hard student, Industrious
painstaking, conscientious, with the
courage to discharge his duty under
all circumstances, and in addition
to all these, having that pOliteness
and courtesy which insures d
patient hearing to the humblest
citizen, he has in my judgment the
qualities which would make him al
ideal Circuit Judge.
Knowing Mr. Holding as l do,
can cheerfully and earnestly recon-.
mend him to the people of this Cir
cult as in every way worthy of thei
confidence and support.

Mark Twain, when starring on tour

Winnipeg how he often felt desire to
"cut loose" from civilization and to get
away by himself where he could run
and yell to his hearts content. In this
connection there is story about the
humorist and Canon Kingsley. Walk
ing along the streets one day, Mark felt
the impulse to Yell coming ON him with
irresistible force and said to Kingsley,
II want to yell; l must yell. " The
canon said, "All right, yell away; l
don't mind. - ''And with that" said
Mark, II stepped back few steps and,
throwing my arms above my head, let

BLUE BLOOD VS.. RED.

There are no different kinds of
blood in the veins of various Cau-
casians. That royal blood is blue is
no more true than that Chinaman's s
brains are in his bosom. In Ameri-
ca, enc man is as good as another,
whether rich or poor, and not what
he is, OF has been, but what he does,
should accord him rank. The New
York 400 doubtless contains on its
list as many social scrubs as an equal
ly numerous granger band from Mis-
souri-and maybe few more.
But when such men as Teddy
Roosevelt and Hamilton Fish, jr.,
come out from the contracted pales
of rubbernecked society, renounce
the McAlister decalogue, join the
vulgar rank, and hazard their lives,
even sacrifice them as in the case of
the latter, they prove themselves as
good as men can be. All honor be to
the hero, rich or poor, who forgets
his own safety In order to defend a
nation!

A H OF Battle with Spaniards Near
Santiago.

June 26-The bulletin of this
morning announces fierce battle
five miles off Santiago, between
1000 dismounted cavalry and rough
riders and 1000 Spanish infantry.
The battle was fought in thicket
where the dons were hiding. The
Americans under General Young
and Teddy Roosevelt charged the
enemy, driving them back with fear
full loss. The Spaniards took refuge
in the city. The Americans report
II killed and so wounded. Among
the killed are Capt Capron and
Serg. Hamilton Fish, jr.
No fears are entertained at Wash
ington for the safety of Dewey, even
should the Cadiz squadron go to
Manila.

high mountain back of Santiago.
