PUBLIC OPINION.

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
| saw in your paper last week an arti-
Gle from Democrat" Of Eva, in which
he suggests the name of d. B. Thomas
as suitable man to represent this fote-
rial district in the general assembly. /
agree with Democrat that Mr.. Thomas
is just the man for the place, being far
mer and business man. He is the son
of a distinguished citizen of our State
who did noble service for the disquali-
fed ex-Confederate soldiers by making
a personal visit to Washington, paying
his own expenses, and there appealing
to the President and to Congress in be-
half of popular suffrage and the restora-
ton of citizenship of the ex-Confederate
soldier
Mr.. Thomas father was at one time a
candidate for governor of Tennessee on
a low tax platform, while Governor Per-
ter-was candidate on a high tax plat
form. Porter was elected, but two years
later the Democrats in State convention
endorsed the low tax idea which has pre-
vailed since that time, thus confirming
the views of the elder Mr.. Thomas.
On the tax question Dorsey Thomas is
walking in the footprints of his father,
and is the man to represent Benton and
Decatur counties in the next general as
sembly of the commonwealth. Like the
days of our forefathers. this seems to be
a case of the office seeking the man.
What do you say, Mr.. Thomas? Come
forward and obey the voice of the people.
They want you. CITIZEN

occurred to him that his friend. who
was packing his portmanteau I'm the
next room, might be able to supply
the deficiency.
He left his own room and knocked
at the door of the one adjoining. But
the occupant of the apartment, whom
he heard moving about within, appar-
emily did not hear the knock. so, after
waiting a few seconds, he turned the
handle and entered.
The other was standing in front of
the dressing table and with his back
to the door, so that his actions were
reflected in the mirror, He was dress
ed, all but his coat, and was carefully
examining some article which caught
the light as he turned Il over I'm his
hand. He wheeled round suddenly
with a quick frown. on hearing the
sound of the opening of the door and

turned TO leave the room.
Mr.. Burritt followed him with his
