THE? MAYORALITY CONTEST.
The municipal contest comes to
a close next Tuesday. The, peo
ple of the city of Gainesville will
decide at that time who shall pre
side .over them a Republican dr a
Democrat. It is safe to say that
they will elect a Democrat, add
that his name will be H. H. Dean.
The lines in this contest have
been clearly drawn. Personalities
have not, sp far been injected into
the fight, and it is not believed
that they will be. The fight is
being made strictly on party lines,
a staunch Democrat oh ohte side
and a Republican on the other.
The people of the.city of Gaines
ville are Democratic and will
therefore cast their ballots accord
ingly. Besides, Colonel Dean is
better qualified to fill the office
than Mr. Gaston. He is an ex
perienced business man and one
who has always been successful
and is besides a thorough honest
lawyer. He is ambitious and
would devote his time and best
talents to the upbuilding of
Gainesville and its interests. As
set forth in his platform he is in
favor of reducing taxation. He
will wbirk for ; the best interests of
all the people, and * will enforce
the laws to the best Of his ability
unjustly • discriminating against
neither white or black, but doing
his whole duty at all times.
Under his administration, backed
by a wise and conservative council,
the city of Gainesville will flour
ish and prosper as never before.
Enterprises will be encouraged,
capital will be invited, a low rate
of taxation will be secured thereby
encouraging building and improve
ments which giyes employment to
the laborer and mechanic and
which benefits the merchant and
manufacturer,

Judge replied at once denying Mr.
Gaston’s statement as emphati
cally as did Col. Dean, and cor
roborating Col. Dean in every par

would be proper for a Judge to do,
that Mr. GaBton is absolutely in
eligible.

Judge J. B. Estes, attorney for
Mr. Gaston, has submitted an
argument which mystifies the sub
ject under discussion rather than
elucidating it. He presents the
matter as a shrewd lawyer before
a jury adroitly evading in his ar
gument the weak points and omit
ting to state directly that he con
siders MGaston eligible. He
merely says that his opinion based
on a cursory examination and
by what Mr. Gaston stated other
lawyers had said was “strength
ened.”
He says Mr.. Gaston, if elected,
Would not ih any proper sense be
“succeeding himself,” but would
be succeeding Mr. John A. Smith.
The Cracker would like to ask of
this honorable, jurist who would
Col. Dean be succeeding if he were
elected, mayor? Would he notjbe
succeeding Mr. Gaston, the pres
ent mayor, and if so why would
not Mr. Gaston as a new mayor be
succeeding Mr. Gaston, the pres
ent mayor? ,
Who is to decide the question
anyway, Estes,, the lawyer,
or Kimsey, the judge? We think
the people will settleIt by electing
a Democratic mayor.
Gainesville ought to have a
democratic mayor, and her citi
zens will elect Colonel JL H. Dean.

/ The Cracker is a Democratic
paper. : Its editor has always been
a Democrat, and has always sup

We believe in the Majority ruling
and although there are some few
points in the national Democratic
platform which do not m@et with
our approval, we support it with
all the - zealousness and
earnestness which we can
command. Col. & H. Dean is a
Democrat. He has been nomina
ted by the Democrats of Gaines
ville to rnn for Mayor. The
Cracker is for him, and will do all
in its power to secure his election.
Gainesville is the largest town in
