Closing the campaign for Sidney J.
Cats, independent candidate for gov
ernor, addresses were made by his
supporters last night in the east side
of Mallory court before small aud
fence. The meeting was presided
over by Bryan Mack, who made a
brief introduction for the speakers Of
the evening.
Robert P. Stout was first intro
duced. He took up the charge of
boltin and reviewed the case of 1896,
when Bryan ran for president and q
local case when Bliss was elected
mayor. Discussing the contention
of Knott being the nominee, he said
that it was perhaps so, but that while
Knott was the nominee of the MAJ
chine, Cats was the nominee of the
people.
Senator Lindsey Makes Address.
Senator Lindsey stated that there
are two features of the occasion which
presented themselves forcibly to him,
the first is that it is unnecessary for
him to be here to address the aud
fence, for the contest has attracted
such wide attention that all of the
voters are familiar with every phase
of it. A second point, he said, is that
granting that the first should be the
case, it seems that Pensacola should
have a sufficiency of orators, who
could handle the question as well as
he.
He then briefly sketched his career
stating thatshe is native of Florida.
and turpentine operator and farm
er. He reviewed his record in the
state senate and his election to that

was for Cats because he thought he

doctrine that while Knott was the
legal nominee, a thing may be lega
and not right, or right and not legal
Upon the statement that he would
discuss the question in calm and i'm
personal way, the crowd called upor
him to "pitch in and go for Knott, :
and he Immediately commenced dis
cussion of the democratic nominee.
Says Knott Has Done Well.
He made the charge that Knott il
not a man of ability, but conceded
that in the past, he has done the
duties of his office well. He charged
| that Knott belonged to a ring com.
posed of Ellis, w. S. Jennings anC
Whitfield, and that during his In
cumbency as counsel for the interna
improvement committee, w. S. Jen,
nings received more than $45,00t
from the state.
He the INDUCED in few persona
| remarks concerning Col. Robert Nc
Nance, who was speaking at tht
democratic rally across the square.
Again taking up Knots menta
capacity, the speaker expressed hi
fear for the aftermath of the cleo
ton, and the administration of thu
office. He then discussed Pleasan
Holt, and amply paid his respects tt
that gentleman.

have been preferred against Cats
Senator Lindsey stated that Cats i
the chaplain of the DeFuniak cam
