Mississippi Democrat. (Carrollton, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1845-08-06

sldent OF the Senate at called session
and acted as Governor Of The State for
> little month.
! In January, 1886, he sent in an annua
message, and slrenuously urged an in
crease Of the banking capital Of the State
although she then had almost fourteen mil
! lions Of dollars Of chartered capital. Up
. on the 9TH Of January he returned 10 hi.
seat in the Senate, and was reelected Pre-
sident on the 37lh ballot. During thai
session he acted with the wings on al
questions. He introduced and carried
through the charter Of The Commercial
: Bank Of Natchez, aud Che original charter
Of the Mississippi (Natchez) Railroad Co.
He voted for the Brandon Bank charter,
and all others that passed both Houses in
1895. lie made a speech against the
Union Bank charter, and boldly took the
ground in that speech that one generation
could not borrow and spend money, and
leave another generation TO pay it. He
opposed at that session all restrictions
sought to be put on bank charters--oppos-
ed ENGRAVING provisions authorizing their
repeal, visitation, &c. He was then an
out and out bank man, as his votes will
prove.
In the fall of 1886 he resigned his seat
IN the Senate, and run on the wing ticket
for Congress, and was badly beaten by
Judge Gholson. He united that year with
The wings in bringing out a ticket for
White and Tyler in opposition to the regu.
larly nominated ticket favorable 10 Van
Buren, and Johnson.
Ia January, 1887, he was concerned
with Pfenlss in denying to the Chickasaw
members the right of taking their seats in
the House.
In July, 1897, he voted for Prenliss
and Acee for Congress, and against the
democratic candidates, Claiborne and
Oh lson. In the ensuing November, he
voted Tor Morgan for governor, and went
the entire wing ticket for Congress, dis
trio, and county officers.
In April, 1888, he again voted for Prem
tss and Word for Congress, and against
Claiborne and Davis. The election Of
Prentiss and Word that year, aided by the
treachery of the conservatives, turned the
scale in Congress, and defeated the sub
treasury bill. Gen. Quitman the same
year voted for Sias Brown, wing, for
State treasurer, in opposition to the demo-
cratic candidate.
In 1889 he voted for bis family connex-
ion, Edward Turner, for Governor, and
sundry other wings for State and county
offices.
In 1910 he took no part in the canvass
between Van Buren, and Harrison, and we
believe that no one knows how he voted
when and where he voted, or whether
he voted at ALL Give us light upon this
subject, General! The same year he de-
nounced Gov. M'Nut's proclamation in re-
laion to the Union Bank bonds.
In 184l he was warm advocate of the |
payment of the Union Bank Bonds--yoied
for Shattuck, wing, in opposition 10 Tuck
er, and sustained several other wings at
that election for State, district and county
officers.
In lS43 he was member of the Feb. |
ruary Convention, and was thus pledged
to support the nominees lhercof-he was
dissatisfied, however; bond-payers were
not then ncminated-kicked up a fuss
in the party, and came within one vote Of
being ruled out Of the Democratic Assoc-
alton of Adams county. The same year |
he refused 10 sustain the July nominations
of the democratic party, and aided by
few lawyers, brought out bond paying
ticket for Governor, four -bond-payers for
Congress, and aided in establishing the |
Statesman at Jackson. lie also in No
veniber voted for Williams for Governor,
and for four bond payers for Congress, and
is believed 10 have voted for the wbig can
didates for Secretary Of State, Auditor and
Treasurer.
10 1874 he opposed Van Buren's nomi-
nation for President, and would not pro-
mise 10 sustain him in the event Of his
nomination by the Baltimore convention.
In November, 1914, he voted for the Polk
electors.
10 March, 1915, small meeting and
supper was gotten up in Natchez, to celc-
brate the birthday Of General Jackson.
whose administration he never sustained,
whom he voted against in 1924 and 1928.
He made speech at that celebration, and
was nominated for Senator in Congress,
when not more than one-tenth of the de-
mocratic parts Of Adams county we're pre-
sent, and many Of these were friends of
M'Nutt, and surprising the nomination
merely complimentary to The General, lea
it pass. Recently, the wonId.be great
Organ Of the North comes out boldly for
Quiiman, and claims the right Of naming
The person in the Spulh who shall be Sc
MAJOR. Did General QuiIman, when d.
rector ii the Planters Bank, favor the pur-

States Bank BY the Planters Bankl This
