McNUrr at the head of our columns as
beyond doubt or cayil, the man Mississippi
should, and the man she does prefer 10
send in Mr.. Walkers place 10 the United
States Senate. High as are the charac-

station, his, as long-tried, faith full, pure
and powerful servant Of Democracy in
our State, are beyond them all. He has
been more than 20 years citizen of our
State--the whole time identified with our
cause. He has been since 1885, with but
short intermission since his term as Co
vernon expired, in public service. He
achieved more for our northern counties
while they we're weak and in their infan-
cy, and he was their champion in the Sem
ate, than any other man. Will they now,
in the position and strength 10 which he
aided them 10 rise, desert the friend who
stood by them in their hour of need? He
has done more to clear our State Of the
curses of rotton banking-ihat great dead
ly enemy of democracy, than any other
ten men Of the country. Can our State
now fail to remember the bold, firm, clear
sighted stateman who guided her helm in
the midst of the storm, and who, when

statesman acknowledged pre.eminent by

and do more for the whole country in the

From the Dollar Democrat.

~ The House is sphere in
which Roger Barton would make a sensa.
ton, and shine resplendently. We hope
he will consent to become candidate for
seat in that body, and leave the conyen-
ton free TO select from the Southern as
prants for Senatorship, candidate for
that high station. That body will be as
capable Of selecting, and recommending a
candidate for the Senate, as candidates for
any other station, and no argument can
be advanced against their action with re-
gard 10 the Senatorial candidate, which
will not operate with equal force against
their sitting in judgment upon the claims
of any candidate for office. If members
of that convention can represent the PEG.
pies wishes with regard to Governor, mem.
bers Of Congress, &c, &C., they can re-
present the will Of the people in regard to
the Senator. We fear those who oppose
the action of the Convention in regard to
the Senatorial nomination are rather afraid
that the whole people Of Mississippi will
be more apt to be truly represented in the
convention than in the Legislature. Let
the convention unite in recommending a
candidate for Senatorial honors, and there
will be no need Of legislative caucussing;
and less danger of coalition of this or
that clique with the wing members, than
if each democratic clique went into the
election Of Senator resolved to vote for its
fayorite. In the convention the wings will
have no voice in the selection Of candi-
date--in the Legislature they will. He
who wants democratic majority to pre-
vail in the selection Of Senator will 90
for settling the question what democrat
shall be the senatorial candidate, in the
convention. He who is for leaving that
question to be settled by vote Of Demo
cratic and wing legislators, will go against
any action of the convention in relation to
the Senatorship. We repeat. that the con.
vention will be as capable Of representing
the people rightly in regard to Senator as
IN regard TO any other candidate; and if
We unjust have caucussing, let il be conven.
'lonal, not Legislative caucussing = in |
which our opponents can take hand.
