Court.

Court.
The Court of Appeals late this afternoon,
in an opinion written by Mr.. Justice Shop
ard, affirmed the judgment of the lower
court in the famous Holt will case.
The appeal was from judgment of the
Supreme Court OF the District of Columbia
refusing the probate Of an instrument Of
fered therefor the last will of the late
Judge Joseph Holt.
The chief point at issue involved the ad-
mission of certain evi ience of a witness
named Randolph The Court Of Appeals,
in concluding its opinion, says
Whilst inclined to the opinion that the
discretion of the court might well have
been literally exercised in favor of the ad-
mission of this evidence, we do not think
that it's exclusion, considering, too, the
indirect and slight contradiction between
1t and the evidence of Randolph, was an
error for which judgment should be re-
versed."

HATRED OF THE NORTH

The Democrats have carried

Those states have IIg con-

OF this unanimity is hatred of

The sons Of the men who
were reared in and fought for

Davis have not been able
wholly to emancipate them
selves from that feeling of ha
tired for the north which their
fathers felt SO keenly. The
sons do not want to secede.
They want to be in the union
and get all national officers,
with the aid of Tammany Hall
and other corrupt elements in
northern politics. And still
they look on the north as an
enemy; not to be attacked with
rifle and cannon. but with un-
constitutional income tax laws
and with free silver schemes.
