tW other in having voted
tfgcduBi the Thurman bill. Ah to
site first, the bill was introduced by
request, at a time when public at
temtion wan directed towards water
tr.msport at ion, and he thought that
if the government was to build
canals, Georgia had as well have
one. As to the vote, he confessed
that if he ever casta wrong one,
that was it, but it was, an error of
the head. It was a great question
and the light on the bill was lead by
none legs than Benjamin Hill, and
all men were fallible, except Tom
Watson. Watson had charged
him with remaining silent while the
Sherman bill, which threw the
south into financial bondage, was
living enacted. He read from the
New York Herald a long account
couched in the most flattering
terms^jR his it. uncompromising He followed this at
tack ujron up
by reading an extract from speech¬
es on the same line made shortly
thereafter, at a time when Watson
said he had remained silent. He
said that if he showed that Watson
had falsified the record. M atson
would have to apologize to this peo¬
ple whom he had attempted to de¬
ceive, or else could find no place
outside of everlasting infamy and
disgrace. A'..lost every period
was me*, with loud applause. After
finishing with his own defense, he
ably defended the democratic party
anti made some telling arguments.
Hear the close of his speech, just
ua ho was clinching one of his
strong arguments, the bench on
which a> number of third party
meu were fitting broke down, caus¬
ing some confusion.
“That's a third party plank, I
know.” said the general, and art
tins the crowd went wild.

A Georgia l*fieno»iicu(>n.
Four Woimjf, Tex.. May 237
A freak o* nature lias come to
light in the county jail. His name
is Jesse Lcf , aged 18 years.
Turn the hoy’s face so that a
strong light may shine into his
eyes, and the phenomenon is at
once clearly soon . Around the pu¬
pils of the eye, in the igis, are the
twenty-six letters of the alphabet,
arranged systematically. They are
very diminutive, but clear and dis¬
tinct. There are thirteen letters in
each eye, those up to “ m” being in
the left eye and the remaining ones
in the right. Lee hails from Geor¬
gia, and has wandered to this state,
lie is rather below the average in
intelligence, and seems not to know
the value of money. Lee says his
father, who is a poor preacher in an
isolated section of Georgia, also
carries the alphabet in his eyes,
but never thought much of it. He
has four brothers similarly affected.

Harrison Nominated.
At three o’clock last Friday
afternoon the ballot was taken and
Harrison nominated before the call
of states was completed.
We had hoped for Blaine’s
nomination, as he has more sense
than the whole nomination Republican party,
but as the came on
Friday we hope the Democratic
rabbit foot will get in its work &nd
leave Harri-on out at the hext
election.
Be careful In your denunciation
of us, you unreasonable People’s
Party men; or we will place you in
shame
Let Us beg of you to come back
into the Democratic party. We
regretted to do it, then after we
saw we were wrong- It is hard to
do. It requires moral 'coin age.
Read what is said about Post,
We tried to .endorse him, but we

Our friends may censure us for
coining back into the Democratic
party. If so, we pity them.
