Carried Colored Precinct Con.
vention Over Tom Burchett
Back in Days When Genial
Gus Supported Harrison.

Old time Democrats are smiling
at the efforts of Col. Gus @. Single
ton, Democratic nominee for county
court clerk, to line up the voters
straight for the ticket. With one
of his broad smiles and a pat on the
back, Colonel Singleton impresses
upon the younger generation of
Democrats the necessity of standing
by party lines and not to scratch.
This is the amusing part. to the
old time Democrats. who recall with
distinct memory how Col Singleton
became a member of the Democratic
party a few years ago, and now is
such an ardent advocate of the
straight Democratic party when it
means an office for him. Recently
some Democrats were discussing the
colonel's record. how he changed
from Republican to mugwump Demo-
crat and then allied himself with
the Democratic party.
In 1883 Col Singleton was the
campaign manager for j. r. Smith.
father of Mayor James p. Smith, and
the Republican nominee for mayor
against Charles Reed, the Democratic
nominee. For ten years II is stated
that Col. Singleton opposed the cleo
ton of every Democratic nominee.
In 1885 Colonel Singleton served in
the council as a Republican, having
defeated the late Sol c. Vaughan, the
Democratic nominee, for the place.
In order to become eligible for the
council IL was necessary to be prop
erty owner, and February %, 1885
Colonel Singleton purchased a lot on
Harris street between Fifth and
Sixth streets.
In 1883 prominent Republicans.
including Colonel Singleton, organ
lied the Harrison club, an organiza-
ton to further the local interest OF
President Harrison. The organiza-
ton included Captain Ed Farley,
Gus G.. Singleton. j. X. Puryear,
Frank Fisher, T. ID. Harris, W. NJ.
Harms, w. A. Lawrence, Turner An
derson and the late j. h. Smith and
u. +. Williamson. Colonel Singleton
was an active worker for the club.
About the same time old Democrats
recall that Singleton was candidate
for the Republican nomination for
city marshal. and opposed to him
was Tom Burchett Out in French
town. where only a few white Re-
publicans resided Col. Singleton car
ried a precinct convention over Bur-
chett. aT
About this time Colonel Singleton
drifted away from the Republican
party and became a mugwump. With
few friends they organized Tam
many club. composed of independent
Democrats, but the ciup was short
lived. During two campaigns for
mayor. Colonel Singleton was an ar
dent supporter of ID. A. Yeiser, who
was running on the Independent
ticket. AS late as 1896 Colonel Sin
gleton was an admirer of John
Young Brown, who bolted from VIM.
Goebel as governor.

Driver of Team Thrown Out
in Mad Runaway.

An exciting runaway occurred on
South State street shortly after noon
today. A heavy team of farm horses
attached to a farm wagon frightened
at an interurban car at the corner of
South State and East Center streets
and ran south on State street TO the
Federal building where the driver
was thrown from his seat on the
wagon. The team dashed madly on
into a sand pile and was somewhat
checked causing the driver to be
hurled into the sand. A number of
the bystanders thought the man in
jured but upon investigation il was
found that he suffered only light
bruises. Had he alighted upon the
brick pavement he would no doubt
have been very seriouly injured. The
runaway horses were stopped on
South State street and after the drlv-
ell had recovered himself from the
sand pile the team was taken charge
OF and driven home. He refused to
give his name.
