Damaging Disclosure

The two candidates for the legis-
lature were speaking from the same
platform.
"My fellow-citizens," said the
candidate with the long black mus
tache, rising to speak in his turn,
81 am able at last to unmask the
hypocrite that has just addressed
you. 1t is disagreeable duty, but
you have a right to know what man
ner of man he is. Well may he
tremble at the disclosure l am about
to make, for it knocks the last prop
from under him and shows him to
you in his true light"
Here the speaker paused to take
drink of water.
Then he slowly turned his head,
looked over his shoulder at the other
candidate with a glance of concen-
again.
A hush pervaded the hall.
q" low-citizens, he exclaimed,
in voice of thunder, "this man
poses as a friend of the common
peoplel He goes around shaking
hands with everybody! You know
why he does it? l will tell you.
He does it to deceive you. Fellow
citizens, he is no horny-handed son
of toll. Those callouses in the palm
of his hands were never produced
by work. He never did a days
work in his life. Those callouses
are warts! Warts, my fellow-citi-
zens! Warts! Warts on the palms
of his hands! Let him deny it if

The other candidate couldn't deny
it, and it cost him the election.

Her marriage to Mr.. J. E. Conner
was solemnized in January 1870.
She professed religion in the sum-

united with Glover Greek Baptist
church, and was baptized by Elder
Reuben Day, well-known Baptist

She lived a devout Christian life,

Alabama Election.

Montgomery, Aug. 25.-In the
democratic primary held today for
the nomination of candidates for
State offices William D. Jelks of
Barbour, the present governor, won
over ex-governor Joseph F. John
son of Jefferson, for governor by a
majority which will probably reach
10000.
This election was the first held
since the adoption of the new con-
stitution, under which the negro is
eliminated as a political factor in
Alabama, and the new organic law
was made an issue in the campaign.
It was Endorsed in its entirety by
Governor Jelks, and Ex-Governor
Johnson also guaranteed to uphold
it, although he opposed its ratifica-
ton.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ha

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has
been touring New England
and making speeches. He
says "the trusts should be
placed under the sovereignty
of the national government. y
The fact that the republicans
wait until the adjournment of
Congress to discuss trusts,
and refused to take action
whileCongress was in session
to control them, is proof con-
elusive that they are in SYM
pathy with trusts. The only
hope to regulate trusts is
through the democratic par
ty. Democrats oppose this
Ubiquitous system Of robbery
on the hustings and in the
halls of Congress. Demo-
Gratis are sincere and earnest
in their opposition to trusts.

Carmack will leave for Tennessee
tomorrow. He will probably stop
in Chattanooga to confer with Chair
maui Frank Thompson and the Hon.
James B. Frazier, candidate for
Governor, with reference to the
part he will take in the campaign.
He has refused numerous invita-

give most of September to the Dem

nessee.
In October the Senator will make
speeches in Massachusetts, at the
urgent solicitation Of democrats in
that state. Senator Carmack b ad
hoped to be in Tennessee earlier,
but has remained here in the alb
sence of Chairman Griggs, at his
request, to look after the final
touches on the democratic campaign
book, which will be given to the
public in few days.
Those who have seen the work to
which Senator Carmack has been a
considerable contributor say that it
is by far the best compendium of
campaign literature ever made. The

Justice Gray and the Pious Lawyer

New York Trfbune]
The retirement of Justice Gray,
of the United States Supreme Court,
has furnished text for many remi-

he was a member of the Supreme
Court of Massachusetts he had an
amusing experience with certain
Boston lawyer, an exceedingly pious
man with a taste for evangelization,
who had his letterheads printed with
verse from the Scripture in large
type following the name and adj
dress. On one occasion, having to
make an ex parte preliminary argu-
ment before Judge Gray in cham
bers, in which it would be necessary
to disclose certain parts of his eli
ent's case which he desired not to
make generally public until the trial,
he wrote the Judge note, asking
that he be allowed an opportunity
to speak to him in private. He was
somewhat chagrined when the note
came back 10 him with scrawl
across the bottom: "Request de-
MED, with suggestion from the court
that counsel base future petitions
on more appropriate citation

out the meaning of this, as he was
not aware he had quoted any law;
