Barkworth For Congress

The democratie convention Tuesday decided to endorse the candidacy of Hon. T. E. Barkworth, of Jackson, for congress, and the action of the majority binds the party. Mr. Barkworth is one of the ablest lawyers in Jackson, a graceful, logical and eloquent speaker and brilliant orator, and during the two terms he served in the lower branch of the legislature, proved one of the most alert, vigilant members on the democratie side. He was the ree ognized leader of the house, and every republican who faced him in debate had to go down before him in his discussion. He is afreesilver min, and an opponent of monopoiy. He was nominated by the populists, but without his solicitation, and he has not accepted their nomination. Mr. Barkworth will soon open his campaign, and if Gen. Spalding desires any debate, he can be accommodated. The fight will now be on and the fur will fly in every direction, unless the republican animáis keep out of the way. Mr. Barkworth, if elected (as he will be) will take prominence as a leader of democrats, and his influence will be feit and recognized, as a vigorous, able, brainy defender of democratie principies. He will be in his place. He will vote for free silver. He will stand by tariff reform. He will be independent. -
