Who is Judge Parker, any
how? • What has he ever done
for the democratic part}'?
What does he stand for? If
some of the papers who are
yelljng so loudly for Parker
would devote a little time and
space to telling us something
about him we might be able
to see something in him, but
there’s the rub. Parke, may
t be, and doubtless is, a good
democrat, but what has he
ever done to justify the party
in selecting him as their lead
er? We are not alone when
we kick against a man being
boosted up for the highest
gift of the party without hav
ing some idea of what he
stands for. It has been offer
ed in his favor that he is con
servative, That’s the trouble;
lie’s so conservative that it
would take a blasting drill to
find out “where he’s at. Don’t
be so backward, brethren; if
you know anything about
what lie stands for, just let tis
have it. 1

Believing it to be their du
ty to make some public ex
pression «f their sentiment in
regaid -to the candidacy of
Cap* John 11. Martin- for
Judge of the Superior Courts
of the Oconee Circuit, and in
order that the people hi the
oner counties of the circuit
might know the high esti-!
mate placed upon . him by his
home county (f Pulaski, a
large and enthusiastic meet
ing of representative citizens
was held at the court house in
Hawkinsville on April 7th,
when the following resolu
tions, supported by many
strong speeches, were unani
mously adopted:
Be it resolved by tliiu mass
meeting: That we heartily j
endorse the candidacy of our
fellow-citizen, Capt. Jno. H. j
Martin, for the Judgeship of
the Oconee Circuit, and com
mend him to the people as a |
man well qualified to discharge ’
the duties of this high and im
portant office. His long and
successful career at the bar of
the several counties of this
circuit, his vigor of mind and
bod\-, his ripe experience ar.d
his legal learning, equip him
for the place and will insure
the people of the Oconee Cir
cuit a business-like, impar
tial, honest and able adminis
tration. That we pledge him
pur active and unqualified .sup
port, and present him to the
people as a man worthy of
their votes and confidence,
and urge his election. —Haw-
kin: ville Dispatch ar.d News.’

A special from Port Arthur
states that the Russian bat
tleship Petropavlovsk, while
steaming out of the harbor
struck a mine and was sunk,
eight hundred officers and
men going down with their

Admiral Makaroff.

Hon. Jno. F. DcLacy of j

the race for solicitor-general J
of the Oconee Circuit, thus
1 j
leaving Col. E. D. Graham of

the office.
Five officers and twenty-four
men were killed by an explo- j
sion on the battle ship Mis
souri Thursday. The battle
ship was stationed at Pensa
cola, Fla., and was engaged in
target practice when the ex
plosion occurred.
we agree with those of our I
contemporaries who assert j
that democracy in general,
and southern democracy in
particular, is not for sale. For
this very reason we should
nominate Hcarst and keep
out of the clutches of Cleve
land and wall street. —Dublin
