Ed Chronicle; Reese Blizzard having, as
the writer verify believes, resigned the Judge
ship tor the sole purpose of escaping inn
parchment by the next legislature, is now,
we are told, seeking an appointment at the
hands OF President Mckinley on the
grounds, perhaps, that his candidate for
State Senate fell 81 votes behind in Cal
houn county.
Blizzard and his dirty henchmen of
whom he made tools, went To work last
spring to carry Calhoun county for the Re
publican legislative ticket and the first thing
they did was to adopt a slanderous re,olu-
tion making cowddly attacl, upon the
only Republican on earth who ever came
within less than q dozen votes of carrying
Calhoun county for legislative Office.
After they had committed that crime
against common dccency, every dirty liar
who participated in it went about DENYING
that he had anything whatever to do with
it.
Reese, at the time he was perpctrating
that outrage, forgot his own conduct, Of
which the President will be duly nior ned,
but which refrain fromS giving here, be-
cause | do not wish to wound the feelings of
either his first or his second wife, although
Blizzard and his filthy gang had no respect
whatever for the feelings Of my family or
their relations.
Noticing that the majority was so great
in Calhoun county against Campbell, Funk,
and all others who countenanced that cow
ardly resolution, regard the result of the
recent election in that county as being i
singing rebukc to Reese Blizzard, against
whom the decent republicans of that county
have good reason to feel bitter
Blizzard asked the voters of Calhoun
ard Gilmer counties to support him for
Judge, simply to show their antagoni>m to
Jackson county, and now he has resigned
and recommended u Jackson county man

and will make a good judge, and only re-
fer to Billiards. selection of Juckson
county man to illustrate his betrayal OF the
people Of Calhoun county.
No wonder the good people OF his county
rcbnked him Mt the polls by supporting the
man that Reese opposed most
Calhoun and Gilmer are the only two
counties in the State that show democratic
gains ON the legislative candidates thi. wear.

part of the decent people Of those two couu-

was only four years ago.
We are entering protest against the pro-
posed appointment Of Reese Blizzard TO
