have before me nine newspapers of this cir
cult, and in each of them he has from three
columns to whole page of himself, enumer-
ating his many accomplishments and giving a
most minute description of Aimself from the
hour of birth till he finds himself headed
straight Tor the bench. Here is his list; "He
is an ahable, genial, gentleman" ability"
"a lawyer OF prominence" "a man of conser-
vative habits" "a fine financier," "honest. I'M
right, moral, sober, of progressive ideas '.a
man who would administer the law impartial-
"" "who would treat all men alike whether
rich or poor" who lis clean" "much ability -
"has been;auditor once" lis fluent speaker"
"a membeH Of the Methodist church." has
had two wives and is the father of four bows"
At the top of all this we have his picture show
ing him to be most beautiful in his happy
young manhood
Was there ever such a specimen of the Crea-
tors Art? No woRder men bow down to him.
He is perfect god amongst men.
For whole month he has fairly reyeled in
his glory as set forth by himself, or someone

an inspiration to this pleasant duty, have
nine pictures before me.
First charge that the BrigadieI made a
mistake when he started in this race in start
ing before he was ready. He ought to have
known that this office was not to be gotten on
the low level of mud Singing, bitter accuse
tions and newspaper notoriety. The person
aspiring to this Office is supposed to be man
Of learning and of much experience in the
practice OF law before judge and jury and of
SONS degree OF modesty. Not so with this CAV
young Brigader. At the first call of the pc0-
pie, he darts forth like an angry bull paving
the arr and believing forth his many accom-
pllshments, kicking and goring everything
and everybody who darcs to get in his way
He is headed straight for the bench, this "affa-
bic. genial gentleman
Time and again he tells us of his ''ahlity"

three weeks has been sweet. Twenty thous-

MY Lord what a spectacle This honest,
upright conservative man. Then he tells us
he is a fluent speaker. As his fluent speeches
were more often made in meetings than in the
courthouse, that he practiced regularly upon
the church-golng people. have the pleasure
VI remembering one especially Huent. de llypTed
at the Baptist church just before he was mar
ried. 1t was n 8 O'Clock prayer meeting Quite
hummer OF ladies were present, but only a
nall dozen men. Mr.. Tumlin was pastor then
ana had made most beautiful talk upon the
christians duty in the home, having family
prayer, etc. At the conclusion OF his remarks
he asked all who had family prayer to stand up
NO one got up, After slight pause this flu

brother Tumlin, have no family now but /
promise you Just as soon as do have will

The good ladies all had immediate use for
their handkerchiefs, and soon as the minister
could control his voice, he announced the mex
hymn. Doubtless there are many good ladies
present then who remember this speech as well
as myself
Whether he has kept his promise I:have not
been informed.
Then he tells Us he would "administer The
law lmpartally." charge that Il man cannot
administer law at all that knows as little as he
does, and that he couldn't spell impartially.
Can ne he so bigotcd as to suppose the intelli-
gent; Woodworking lawyers, who practice reg
