The TINES is absolutely neutral
between contestants for places on the
democratic ticket at the coming
county primaries. This does not
mean that the editor will abstain
from writing anything favorable to
one candidate over another and then
give correspondents free rein to boom
their choice, or publish communica-
tiOns of that nature We receive nu-
merous requests by Jealous friends OF
the different candidates to publish
articles advocating their cause, and
in some cases Offering to pay adver-
Using rates, but we refuse in every
instance, to lend the columns of THE
TINES to giving one candidate an
over another.

editor Of the Reflex at Rockville
which paper he has successfully con.
Quoted for several years. His former
home was at Montrose, Henry county.
where he was raised and educated
He held a position in the last legisla-

workings of that body. Heis a young
gentleman of energy and ability, a
hard worker and would look after the
interests of his constituents with
fidelity and to the very best of his
ability. He is an active, consistent
democrat. His friends claim that
Rockville has never been given any
of the political plums and is therefore
Untitled to recognition

The newly elected city officers were
duly installed on Monday evening.
The ceremonies were very simple, con-
sisting of administering the present. =
ed oath of office, a few goOd-natured
raileries and congratulations by hu-
merous friends. Mayor Duvall made
the following appointments, which
were Immediately confirmed by the
council. For night watch A. f. De-
Bow, members of board of health,
Drs. Lyle, ley and Ballard. r. r.
Deacon, alderman from the third
ward was elected president of the
council, and John l.. Stanley elected
clerk. So far as we can learn it is
the disposition of the council, while
largely democratic, to act in har-
mony with the mayor in all matters
affecting the welfare of the city.

We are informed that Thos. l..
Nelson, one of the leading attorneys
at Stockton, contemplates making
the race for representative. Mr. Nell
son is a genial, pleasant gentleman
and represents an amount OF ability
that would enable him to creditably
represent our county in the next gen
eral assembly.-ElDOrado Sun.
Mr.. Nelson made the race for state
senator two years ago, and formed
mady acquaintance and strong at
tachments in Bates county. He is a
lawyer OF ability and frequently has
cases in our courts. which
require his presence in our city. While
ii is not our fight We believe Cedar

ing Mr. Nelson TO the legislature.

The present efficient and popular
probate Judge. J. f. Smith, an
nOunces as a candidate TO fill out the
uneXpired term of Judge Dalton. 1t
will be remembered that Judge Dali
ton died during the first year of his
second term and Governor Stephens
appointed Judge Smith to serve until
the next general election. While it is
Il four years Office, he will have served
only little over wear unless NOM

Smith is a good lawyer and is max
ing one OF the best probate judges the
county ever had. He is courteous

to settle promptly and is
preserving the right of the widows

CONFEDERATES CONVERTED.
General John B. Gordon in a New
Role.

Waco, Texas, April 15.-General
John b. Gordon, commander-in chief
of the united confederate veterans,
who is on a lecture tour in Texas. at
tended the revival meeting i'll Gates
vile. Correll county, conducted by
Abe Muley to-day. and. at the con
clusion of the sermon. the evangelist
called on him for remarks.
Gen. Gordon responded from his
place on the platform near the preach
er i'm one of the most powerful eNhor-
tations. it is said, that has ever been
heard in this state. His remarks
were addressed principally To the
Confederate veterans present.
In most eloquent periods he depict
ed their grand and glorious achieve
ments as soldiers in the service OF
their country. moving his hearers to
the highest pitch of patriotism, then.
in tenderest tones. he made an appeal
to them to take up the armOr of
Christ that was sublime and absO-
lutely resistless. At the close of this
appeal about forty confederate veter-
ans came forward No such scene
was ever enacted before.
The gray-haired veterans crowded
around their chieftain one after
embracing him, and then
they would fall upon one anOther's
necks. shouting, the tears streaming
down their faces. 1t was some time
before this ebullition of religious fe-
yer became sufficiently controlled for
others to reach the platform. About
100 Others finally came forward for
prayers.

The Record charges that the poll
books and tickets of the recent CITY
election were taken out of CITY clerk
jackson $ office at night and examin-
ed by some democrats and the
scratchers spotted. Those are very
serious charges. and that paper
should name the men guilty of SO
fragrant a violation oflaw. that they
may be punished. The TINES does
not hesitate to condemn such acts in
the severest terms. But first We must
have better proof than the mere as
seruon OF a partisan newspaper. Mr..
Jackson denies that these records
were removed from his office or the
seals tempered with. We susnact
that Bro. Austin has been made the
butt of a Joke by some wag. But he
must not attempt TO make political
capital out of it, for the democratic
party will use every endeavor to
ferret out such a crime against the
sanctity of the ballot. Let the Rec
ord name the guilty parties. if there
be any truth in the charge.

There are few better men in the

the first democrats to return to Bates

distinction in the confederate army
throughout the war, and helped re-
organize the democratic party and
though but few in number. they
manfully stood by their principles
and it wasn't but a few years until
they saw victory perch upon their
banner. While he has ALWAYS been a
consistent and active democratic
worker, this is he first time he ever
asked office for himself. He is q
courteous. clever and accommodate

form the duties of the office. would
