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 Capt. John H. Martin Strangly Fu.lor-eil for <lic Judge- Nklp lij-1 lie Citizen* of Pule* 111.

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.’ j Riclimc nd P. Hobson, of ' Merrimac fame, was defeated in Alabama for a seat in con gress. Mr. Bankhead was his ' successful opponent. 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 siiip. Among them was Vice Admiral Makaroff. ” Hon. Jno. F. DcLacy of j Eastman has withdrawn from ! the race for solicitor-general J of the Oconee Circuit, thus 1 j leaving Col. E. D.

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 Courier-Dispatch.
