Judson C. Clements, of Rome,
was today re-appointed Intersta e
Commerce Commissioners for a
term of six years. The appoint
ment was made by the president,
and it came after a hot contest.
There were many applicants for
the office held by Mr. Clements.
Among them were Col. Buck Kil
gore, of Texas, and Colonel Chor
ter, of the Alabama railroad com
mission. Both of the latter had
the strongest sort of endorsements.
Mr. Clements stood on ths record
he has made s.nce appointed to the
office three years ago. That carried
him through, and it is the highest
compliment that could be paid the
distinguished Georgian.—Griffin

COMMISSIONER CLEMENTS
In reappointing Judson Clements
to the interstate railroad commis
sion, President Cleveland has won
the gratitude of Georgia Demo
crats.
Mr. Clements enters upon a new
term of six years. He has rendered
valuable service as a member of
the commission, and, it is under
stood, planted himself, while his
opponents were receiving the high
est indorsements, squarely upo i
his record during the time that he
has served upon that board. Col.
Buck Kilgore of Texas and Rail
road Commissioner Shorter of Ala
bama were in the field, and they
had broad and substantial back
ing. But Clements’ record won.
Clements :s not only a gentle
man whom Georgians are glad to
see honored, but he once saved the
party at a very critical time by
defeating the Indepentent candi
date, Dr. Felton, in the Seventh
and re-establishing Democratic
prestige in that district.
It was in that contest that he
won the title “Victorious Moun
tain Colt,” sos the race was a great
one and he distanced his rival, to
the glory of the Democracy.
Let Cleveland select no Demo
crats less unimpeachable than Jud
son Clements and Georgia, at least,
will never quarrel with his appoint
ments. —Macon News.
A POPULISTS’ WIFE ANSWERS A
FLIMSY ARGUMENT OF HER
HUSBAN D.
There is a promi nent Populist
speaker in Texas who has a wife
with a head on her and he submits
all his speeches to her before their
delivery, says the Texas Sandwich.
He prepared one recently, rather
rearranged the same old chestnut
that appeared in every Populist
speech, one of which was as fol
lows :“Fellow-citizens, this country
ie on the verg of starvation. The
wolf is not at our door, but he is
within the very walls of homes,
gnawing on the vitals of our wives
and children. Our little ones are
crying for bread, while we men,
upon whom® they are dependent
for a living, wander weary and
footsore, in our fruitless search for
work—” at this juncture the pa
tient wife stopped and said : “Look
here, John, I can stand for you to
make a fool of your seif, and have
put up with good deal of exagera
tion on your part I didn’t like, but
when you come to down right ly
ing, as you do when you say your
family is dependent on you for a
living, and that our children are
crying for bread, it is a reflection
on me and I will not put up with
it. You know I made a good crop
last year, and that we have some
money, plenty of provisions, and
are by no means naked. So I think
t is a sin and a shame for you to
make the people believe that we
are on the road to the poorhouss.
You have got to quit that, or I will
cut your rations ofl'i That is all.”
That was a deadener. The orator
didn’t like it, of course, but he
promised his wife that, should he
ever make any more sp°eches, he
would never place her in a false
light again.
