Our esteemed contemporary, the Ce- dartown Standard, seems worried be cause the people from all sections of the State continue to urge Hon. Hugh M. Dorsey to allow them an opportuni ty to vote for him for some high office at their disposal. Inasmuch as lion. W. .1. Harris is The Slandard’s “home man” and a candidate for the Gover- rorship, it is perhaps natural that it should “view with alarm” the possibil ity that Hugh Dorsey may ultimately yield to the popular clamor for his can didacy and enter the race for the very office The Standard's candidate is seek ing. The chance that such a contest might result disastrously for the Cedar- town candidate doubtless adds to the pertubation of our usually well-poised contemporary, if one may judge from the following editorial excerpt from that paper “Hugh Dorsey is being strongly urged to run for United States Senator against Hon. Hoke Smith, or to get into the race for Governor. To do eith er would play into the hands of those men in Atlanta who have been doing everything possible (including the man ufacture of evidence and the bribery of witnesses) to clear Frank of the mur der of little Mary I’hagan, anil who could well afford to give thousands of dollars to get him out of the Solicitor- General’s office there. Those who know Hugh Dorsey best do not believe that he will allow himself to be used in this way, or that he would run for an office ‘with the scaffold as his plat form. ’ ” We wish to allay the apprehensions of our contemporary upon the one point contained in the foregoing extract worth noticing. When the motion he- ing argued before Judge Hill to-day shall have been disposed of—and it is not anticipated that a decision will be long delayed Mr. Dorsey will be whol ly rid of the Frank case;—consequently, the question as to whether he shall re main longer in the office of Solicitor- General will have no further interest for Frank or his friends. The case will have gone to the higher courts and be entirely out of Mr. DorHey’s hands. Wo happen to know that Mr. Dorsey has resolutely refused to discuss politics so long as the Frank case, in all its pharos, remains undisposed of. His at titude in the matter has been influenced by a sense of personal repugnance to the idea of allowing politics to enter into the enso at nil, as well bh by a high conception of his official duty and dig nity. Bear in mind bIho that Mr. Dor sey haH not by word or sign encouraged the thousands of solicitations he has re ceived to permit the use of his name as s candidate for Governor, or for any other place; —and to intimate that ho would attempt to ride into office upon such a disgusting issue as the Frank case is an imputation little short of slanderous. The simple truth is, Hugh Ponsey has developed into a really big man, and it is honest appreciation of his superb abilities that explains his present phenomenal popularity. If his able ami successful prosecution of the murderor of little Mary Phagnn has given him prominence and entrenched him in the hearts of the people, the op portunity came in the regular course of his official duty, and he is entitled to whatever meed of praise or word of commendation that may come to him. Meanwhile we daresay other candi dates for the Governorship and their overxoalous friends will continue to re gard with disfavor any effort to bring Hugh Dorsey in the field for that office; —and we see where they are right, be cause if he xhould get into the race his election is as certain as that sun will rise to-morrow. By the way, it is significant as show ing the trend of sentiment in the guber natorial race that on the very day Hon. W. J. Harris opened his campaign with a speech in his home county, Polk, a petition signed by ITti citizens of one militia district of Polk county was for warded to Mr. Dorsey asking him to make the race for Governor. A few days later he received a petition to the same effect signed by HIT citizens of Commerce, the home town of Dr. I,. G. Hardman, one of the other candidates for the Governorship. From which it would appear that not even the "favor ite son" shibboleth is proving very ef fective in stemming the tide that is sweeping the State for Dorsey. The acknowledged fact that the candidates already announced for this office are nil excellent men. and popular in their re spective communities, invests the Dor sey movement with an importance as ominous to the opposition as it is re markable for its spontaneity. And if the attempt should be made by his op ponents to inject the Frank case as an issue in the campaign with the purpose of embarrassing Dorsey, they will find it to be a boomerang with more “stick ers" on it than a porcupine. Just let Jem try it. Col. “Dosh” Massengale, of Warren county, is pluming himself upon being the first man in the State to suggest Hugh Dorsey for the Governorship. You will have to sit back, Colonel; we beat you to it by a couple of weeks or so. The Herald and Advertiser pro posed Dorsey for Governor in its issue of March 27, and if there was an ear lier nomination we failed to hear of it. However, Col. Massengale is a mighty good man, and a bellwether in politics over his way, and we are willing to di vide the honor with him. SHARPSBURG.

It was a fine effort, and made a great impression on the large congregation. Monday morn ing the graduating exercises were held, four young people receiving their di plomas.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis eased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum bling Hound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO.. Sold by druggists. 76c.
