I The iiajpe of Hon, Rufus E.

mentioned for our next Governor.
He is now in the prime of life,
with a.mind vigorous and capable
of grasping ttiid solving at a mo
ment, any intricate subject, lie
is a self-made man, and has al.
ready won for himself honors and
distinction as a lawyer. His record

We believe that Hon. Rufus E.
Lester can roll up a larger major
ity iu Georgia, and more ettec-
tually unite the Democratic party
than any other man now mention
ed for Governor. Being a young
mail lip will receive the enthus
iastic support of all the young men
of the State.
Perry Home Journal,
Hon. R. E. Lester, in answer
to an invitation to deliver a polit
ical speech at Athens, respecfully
declined to discuss the personal
politics involved in the guberna
torial canvass, and thus stand be
fore the people to proclaim him
self the ‘‘fittest man in Georgia for
Governor.” This reply has, in
our estimation, added to his
strength.
