Wilkinson of Valdosta was nominated
for Congress to-day by the Republican
convention for the Eleventh district.
He was requested to make a speech
at the close of the convention, and
came over from the hotel escorted by
a committee,
Mr. Wilkinson was introduced by
Tempoary Chairman Louis Strickland
ol Valdosta, who said the nominee
v,oukl be the next congressman from
this district. lie made brief acknowl
edgement of the honor conferred on
him by the contention, and said ap
pealingly : “The work has been
done; let us all stick to it and win
the election.”
Mr. Wilkinson stated that he would
receive formal notification in due
course, and would then give the con
vention his answer. He was cheered
by the Republicans. At the close erf
his remarks lie begged the members
cf the convention to go fo work. He
was undoubtedly encouraged by the
fusion between Populists and Repub
licans of the district, which was effect
ed by an understanding between Ben
Milliken, Populist leader, and Repub
lican convention, and talked earnest
ly like he expected the party to win
in the election.
The convention followed caucuses,
which began at 10 o’clock this morn
ing and lasted till noon. There were
discussions among Republican and
Populist leaders last night and an
agreement on fusion was reached to
day. The terms of fusion are for the

publicans to support Populists state

Messrs. Walter M. Clements, Chair
man ; W. E Kay, W. W. Terrell, W.
L. Story and V. L. Stanley, Committee
—Gentlemen : I have before me your
very kind and courteous letter of re
cent date, advising me that the Demo
cratic congressional convention held
at Valdosta ou the 11th inst., had un
animously and by acclamation nomi
nated me as the Democratic candidate
to represent this, the Eleventh con
gressional district of Georgia, in the
Fifty-sixth congress; and also advising
me that said convention heartily en
dorsed my cousc in Congress.
In response to your letter I beg to
say that I accept the nomination thus
tendered me, and pledge anew my
every energy and the little ability 1
posess to a faithful and honest repre
sentation of the people of this district
aud to the maintenance and preserva
tion of the honor, dignity and glory
of our common country.
I aai much moved at the manifesta
tion of confidence in me that this rc
-1 nomination implies, and as well at
.the hearty endorsement the conven
tion saw proper to give my couse in
Congress, amd tho same tills me with
a renewed determination to spare no
effort to merit and deserve the same.-
For the first time in a long period
of years our country is engaged in a
foreign war, ami in common with our
country-men everywhere, I hope for
its speedy, victorious and satisfactory
termination, and tho early return to
peaceful pursuits of our gieat army
of volunteers.
I share with you a joyous pride in
the valor and heroism shown by our
r Aimy unu navy, and rejoice with you
in the signal and glorious victories
they have achived.
In the results to follow the wap—
the hardens of debt and Vuatlon that
must be met, tlj\ disposition of new
territory that be acquired, the'
possible establishment in this new
territory of government by the United
States —these and kindred questions
will add additional responsibilities to
those in power, and in their wise solu
tion, there will he ample room for a
display of conservative patriotism and
judicious statemauship.
It is my earnest desire to see the
burdens entailed upon the people by
this war speedily lightened and the
complex problems that may arise met
and solved in a manner conistent
with the principles upon which this
government is founded, and in keep
ing with the historic of our
past.
The great questions that have long
been before the country, still pgegs
for a solution, and the battle for the
bimetallic standard of value, for the
masses against the classes, for country
against sectionalism, for freedom of
commerce for just and equitable tariff
laws, and against monopoly and cor
porate greed and avarice must go on
until victory enshrines our banner and
Democracy is restored to power.
I renew my loyal adherence to the
great truths declared for in our na
tional platform, and to accomplish
the glorious onda.for which we strive,
ffiy humble efforts will continue to
be, as they have becu in the past,
freely and cheerfully given.
The spirit oi harmony and enthusi
asm manifested in the convention,
and to which you direct my attention,
is deeply gratifying, and the pledge
of your co-operation and support in
bringing about an unprecedented
majority in our district in November
is gratefully received, and encourages
the hope and belief already engender
ed by the situation, a I wee it, that
such a result is within our reach.
1 acknowledge my indebtedness to
each of you gentlemen for the cordial
aud generous terms you have used in
advising me oi the action of the con
vention, and to each of you I tender as
surances of my appreciation and high
personal regard. \Y. Ci. Brantley.

Those Dreadful Sores
They Continued to Spread In Spite
of Treatment but Now They are
Healed A Wonderful Work.
“For many years I hnvo been n great
miffercr with varicose veins on 0110 of my
limbs. My foot and limb became dread
fully swollen. When I stood up I could
feci the blood rushing down the veins of
thin limb. One day I accidentally hit my
foot against some object and a sore broko
out which continued to spread and was
exceedingly painful. I concluded I
needed a blood purifier and I began taking
Hood’s Sarsaparilla. In a short time
those dreadful sores which had caused
mo so much suffering, began to heal. I
kept on faithfully with Hood’s Sarsapa
rilla, and in a short time my limb was
completely healed and tho sores gave me
no moro pain. I cannot be too thankful
for tho wonderful work Hood’s Sarsapa
rilla, has done for mo.” “mbs. A. E.
