man who reads can not fail to
see that Mr.. Bryan is the choice
of 95 per cent Of the Democrats
in the entire country. There is
not a doubt in our mind about his
nomination, nor a shadow of a
doubt but that it is best for our
party and best for the country.
His chances for election are fifty
to one over any other Democrat
that would make the race, and as
things now are, and getting a
"leetle" more SO all the
while, he will win over any Re-
publican who may be so unfort-
innate as to go against him. Mr..
Bryan is known. He is not an
uncertain quantity. He is for
the great body of people, un-
biased by political prejudice and
unhampered by corporate greed
and dictation. He is the man to
lead the party, the one to rule
the country, and we believe that
both willIhappen to the pleasure
of Democratsgand for the good of

Resolved, That in the death of
Col. Butler this bar has lost it's
oldest member. He was born in

practice in this county, but spent
the larger portion Of his life in
the counties Of Clinton a n d
Meade. He was faithful and
true tolhis clients; was energetic
in his efforts for them, and al

and agreeable with his fellow at
torneys, and never failed to man.
ifest the old time respect and
consideration for the Court. He
scorned and detested any thing
that was questionable in the
practice, and was always an hon.
orable and, honest practitioner.
AS a man Col. Butler had strong
and positive convictions on all
questions, and snever failed to
maintain them. He was thor
oughly honest and had a high ap-
probation of honor in all things.
He was an aggressive man and
never failed to put all of his ener-
gy into every thing he undeptook.
The Col. will be very much
missed in the courts, and more
especially in the town and COM
munity where he was born and
reared, and where he spent
many of his last years.
We hereby tender our sympa-
thy to the family of the de-
ceased.
Onspresestation the foregoing
resolutions were unanimously
adopted and ordered to be spread
upon the record Of this court
and copy furnished to the fam
lily of the deceased.
