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, Gainesville THE GEORGIA G&ACKEK. , Whether in the form of pill powder or liquid, the doctor’s prescription for blood diseases is always the same— mercury or potash.

Judge replied at once denying Mr. Gaston’s statement as emphati cally as did Col. Dean, and cor roborating Col. Dean in every par ticular, and intimating as far as would be proper for a Judge to do, that Mr. GaBton is absolutely in eligible. Mr. Gaston’s card, Col. Dean’s denial, The Cracker’s note to Judge Kimsey and his "reply are all pub lished elsewhere in this issue, and the original letter of Judge Kim sey can be seen at The Cracker office. - 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.

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 the Ninth Congressional district, and is the stronghold of Democ racy. If we elect a Republican Mayorwe cannot bear this dis tinction longer, but will trail our banner in the dust and disgrace ourselves throughout all this sunny southland. Another question and a very : serious one has arisen in this con test, and that is the eligibility of Mr. Gaston. . : / Mr. Gaston has published a card and broadcasted the same through out the city in which he states that CoL H.
