fidence of the citizens of the town and
the people abroad, thereby establishing
a business prestige which our city is
justly entitled to, and to place if second
to none in the state.

these clouds muat at first give wsy.to
a silver lining, and then gradually to
the full light of the sun, so that you

Washington, Nov. 28.—The Turkish
minister called on Seoretary Hay today
to inquire about the visit of the battle
ship Kentucky to Smyrna.
Mr. Hay was non-committal oa the
subject, but assurred the minister that
Thar* was no hostile purpote at present,
This is all the secretary would say, but
the minister was made to understand
that this country coqp! not play about
that little debt'much longer.
eon, C. M. Tilton, committee:
Gentlemen:—l min receipt of your
eeteemed communioiation apprising
me Of my nomination for the offioe of
aldermen for the ensuing term of two
year*, end after mature and oarefnl
oonaideration, I have deoided to accept
the nomination, with a deep eenee of
appreciation for the unsolicited honor
wbloh I have neither nought nor de
sired.
Perhaps one of the moat encour
aging eigne of the time* ia that citi
zens may meet in pnblic meeting and
make tbeir own nominationc without
any long oast diet, or disturbing pre
arranged plana. This ia Just ea it
abonld be, and will be, if tbe people
awaken to a true realisation of what
mismanagement haa ooet them (with
alight intermiaaion) In the last thirty
years, in retarding the g rowth of what
was destined by nature to lie o:;e of
tbe promising cPles of the South.
I believe in platforms out to catch
votes, but to put in practice. I sub
scribe to tbe platform, not in part but
In wbole, as adopted at your meeting.
The organized efforts of tbe many
oltizena comprising the Good
■sent Club is worthy of highest com-
mendatloo and Is already bearing
frnitful results, and ought to receive
hopeful and cheerful encouragement
from all wbo bejieve in better ideas
and thoughts in public office. Bight
is right, and wrong is wrong. Do net
allow anyone to move the dividing
line, but with a vigorous public sen’f
ment, uphold the right and cond,iron
the wrong.
Yours very truly,
