Repub- {ic from Clinton says Judge Ballard, of Montrose, will make the race for state senator from this district. Without wishing to forestall the action of the Henry county democ- racy, which it is conceded is entitled to name the candidate for senate this time, we wish to say that the shoice of Judge Ballard by that county weuld please the democrats of Bates county might well. Judge Ballard was formerly a citizen of this county and has large interest hore now. Our people have long eonsidered him strong senatorial tim- ber, and urged his claims at the time Dr. Britts was nominated. He ably represented Bates in the general, and was commissioned as major general. He was elected Gov eruor of Georgia in 1876, served four years, and wus re elected under the new constitution for two years At the expiration of his term as Gov- ernor he was elected to the Umted States Senate for the term commenc ing March 4, 1883, and was re elect- ed in 1888. His term of service would have expired March 3, 1895. He was stricken with paralyeis in July, 1892, and since that time has! been unable to walk without assist | ance. He has been able however, to continue in a large degree his at tendance on his Senate duties. He has been wheeled in and out of the Senate chamber in an invalid chair, has attended the meetings of com mittees of which he was a member, | but has not made a speech or been able to take any active part in de | bate on the Senate floor. He has) been present to vote on all import | ant occasions and during the pro-| longed silver struggle during the recent extra session was daily in his! place. He was even wheeled into | the chamber several times to help keep a quorum during the nights) when the Senate sat in continuous session. Lost in the Blizzard.
