1t is to the men who battled on
in the face of defeat without the
hope of reward that the Democrats
owe their allegiance. and not those
who deserted in the thickest OF
the fray. Ii is right and proper

trust reposed IN him in the dis
charge of his duties, is prosecuting
the great corportions with the same
energy and skill with which he has
upheld the majesty of the law
when individuals have been ar
raigned before the bar of Justice,
showing neither fear nor favor.
He is a graduate of both the litera-
ry and law departments of Centre
College and won the honors of a
large class. Concerning his address
upon that occasion, ex-Gov. ].
Proctor Knott said it was the most
brilliant he had ever heard. He
has for some time held a chair in
the Law School Of Central Univer-

trustees and the advancement of
the students. among whom, as
throughout his county, he is uni

To sum up, he is man of exem

deep thinker, learned in the law
and gifted with a splendid flow of

public sentiment demands, and
