THE TEST OF A MAN

that at some few minutes of time
IN his 30 years warfare he was
derelict to the cause.

the highest honor . grateful people can
bestow.
he has accomplished more for the
cause OF temperance, and thereby adj
vancing the moral and social conditions
of our dear old State, than anv man
within her borders.
When l had the honor of repres.,t.
ing this Legislative District l had an
opportunity of observing his work in
the Senate and for his work there
learned to admire and esteem nv dis
tinguished friend.
During that time there was before
the General Assembly bill known as
the Jordan Oyster Bill. Had this bill
been enacted into law it would have
worked a great hardship to the citizens
or Tidewater, depriving many of them
OF means of livelihood. When this
Dill had passed the House and was
being considered by the Senate we
found Judge Mann aiding the represen-
tatives of Tidewater in defeating the
unjust measure. For this service alone
he deserves the gratitude and hearty
support OF the citizens of Tidewater.
Who can estimate the value of his
work IN the cause of education?
wish to emphasize the fact that
every cause that has for its aim the
betterment of his fellow man finds a
champion in the Hon. VIM. HODGES
Mann. of Nottoway.
Comrades of 81 and '65 our old COM

The decisive battle will be fought the

BOILERS AND BOLTINC.
What Some Papers Think Of II
Just Now.


The recent public utterance of a
1actional Democratic leader in tbi,
county, 10 the effect that he would not
vote for Judge Mann IL the nominee
tsithough he supported him last time,
anu snst II his vote was challenged on
account of this statement in the primary
NE would refrain from voting, recalls
the sentiment of some Richmond Tafto-
Gratis who viii stay out of the primary
because they feel satisfied that Judge
mann is TO win and they do not wish to
De IN honor bound to vote for him. Such
democracy is below par and such ex-
pressed sentiments will strengthen Judge
Mann's candidacy.
Here is what the editor of the Black
stone Courier thinks of it:
Some of the supporters of Mr.. Tucker
are giving as reason why he should be
that be would poll larger vote against
the Republican nominee than would
Judge Mann. And that since the jndi-
cations seem to lead to the belief that
the Republican vote this year will be
much larger than for the past several
years, there would be danger. with
Judge Mann as the nominee. of the suc-
cess OF the Republican ticket.
10 some extent we can agree with the
supporters of Mr.. Tuck ef in this idea
out IN giving this reason il appears To
Us .nat they are making a dangerous
SUBMISSION. Is 1T not a confession that
,ne supporters of Judge Mann are the
loya, democrats of the State, thoselwho
%ouio accept their defeat as Democrats
should, and give their loyal support to
the nominee. while those who are ann
porting Mr.. Tucker, at least a large
NUMBER OF them, are of the wrong stripe?
Even the Richmond Journal. that in
discreet organ of Mr.. Tucker. saws il
WIN not bolt Judge Mann's nomination.
when replying to the following from a
CORE spondent:
IL one-half the charges Won have
Drought against Judge Mann are true.

Wnich You seek to inculcate into the
minus OF your readers be well founded.

OF virginia, then you will bolt JUDGE

forthcoming primary.
Judge Mann is not fit-he is morally |

POLITICAL.

The gubernatorial fight in Rocking
nam county-if fight it can be- called
between Judge Mann and Harry St
George Tucker for the Democratic nom
nation is the tamest in the history OF
the county. 1t is practically conceded
that Mann will carry the county.

Mann should have been Eat home, when

more than forty miles away, said: eff
MIR. Tucker is so careless as to his other
facts as In this case his public state
ments will have TO be examined with
great care before one can give credence
to them."
Mr. Tucker was too conscientious TO
accept a nomination for Congress ON
free silver platform, but be voted for
PRESIDENTIAL candidates on free silver
platform IA a matter Of principle,
what's the difference? The inquisItive
Danville Register insists ON knowing
whether, as q matter OF fact, under
cover OF his own frank, he distributed
Republican campaign literature in 1896.
while he was protesting To favor the
election OF free silver candidates for
the Presidency. Does anybody but Mr..
Tucker himself know how MIR. Tucker
voted IN 1886? According to all the
evidence available on the subject, he
seems to have voted one way and
prayed the other. -Petersburp Index.
