M* Hutchens was Introduced by Mr. Y. L. Stanton. He made a moat eloquent, convincing plea for Joseph II' Brown and clearly showed why he should again be placed at the head of affilrs In Georgia. He reviewed the records of Pope Borwn and Dlclt Russell, aa compared to those of Jo seph M. Brown, and showed that the latter had been consistent on all mat ters, while his opponents had been Jus£ the opposite. lir. Hutchens declared’ that Dick Russell hae no definite platform, es pecially on the prohibition question, and that Pope Brown Is no real pro hibitionist. During hiB speech Mr. Hutchens said that Georgia needs a safe and conservative man tor govern or, and such a man he showed Juseph M. Brown to be by his past record. To prove that Pope Brown has fought prohibition legislation, Mr. HutchonB referred big hearers to pago 080 ot the House Journal of 1887, which shows that he voted against the Boynton pro hibition bill. , ,,'To disprove the assertion that Joo Brown la controlled by the railroads, Mr. Hutchens compared the tax arbi trations on returns of the Atlantic Coast Line, first with Pope Brown ub an arbitrator and then with Joe Brown < "Looming after my arrival hero as an arbitrator. The first Instance | that no bruises had been found on his showed that Pope Brown lowered the | head or body, and that doath was returns made by officials of the road {caused from hemorrhage, I then doubt (Savannah News.)

"George was unusually healthy, and for his having consumption, the disease must cer tainly have been 111 Its Inotplency, as he had never shown any sign ot It. "I was told at Waycross whllo com ing through that a young man bad been hit on tbe head In a fight Thurs day night and had not been leen since.

With Joe Brown just the opposite was the case, the assessment being rnlsqd_a little over 12,000,000 Instead of a re duction. Mr. Hutchens stated that Joe Brown Is a prohibitionist at heart, but that be did not care to substitute his judgment to that ot a majority ot od if he was the person who wan In- jured In the fight.
