the nomination of Cleveland in ’88
as the democratic standard bearer,
knd promise his successful triumph.

COL HINES HOLT.
• >* Years ago the Columbus bar, as
now, was the equal of any in Geor¬
gia. ^JsSif were eminent in law
learning, refinement,shrewdness,cour¬
tesy and all that makes a distinguish
Jed barrister. Among these none
stood higher than Col. Hines Holt.
He k>v$d the law for its own sake as
the faithful and beautiful science
human right . He loved to analyze
its principles, reconcile apparent con
iradicttoBi-arid harmonize its utter
ante's ii^p symmetrical form
beauty. He wis an eminent lawyer
in the'courts and shrewd beyond
many of bis compeers.
A notable case was :S» n the

court of the county of R—.
Cot Alexander McDougald repre*
sealed the plaintiff and Col. Holt

attention. Both announced ready

examined. The case was complica

ted, but the weight of evidence was
decidedly with the plaintiff. Col.
McDdtlgald made one of his grand
speeches, pungent and convincing,
4tl( j concluded with an eloquent eo : -
Ipg/ on the right of trial>y jury. He
consumed nearly three hours in its
delivery, and it was evident that the
jury was very tired,
Col. Holt, in a conversational way,
spoke about as fo ows : “Gentle
uicn of the jury, my brother McDou
^ald has made an eloquent speeches
Jo, is so capable of doing. As you
all know he is a very shrewd lawyer,
and if he hail not known that such
u«
speech was necessary he would not
have made it. He hoped to gain his
case by his eloquence and no by the
testimony. Now gentlemen, the de¬
fence needs no speech and I shall not
make any. You are sensible men;
do justice between these partirt.
Simple justice is ail my client asks
and I believe you will give it to him,"
and he sat down. After the charge
of the court the jury retired and soon
returned with a verdict for defebd

All Resent decided that there nev¬
er had been a shrewder defetise ifi
