carry the election if they should have anoth-
er trial at it.-Are we. therefore, TO take
chances when certainties are offered. We
put this thing beyond the shadow of doubt
Are we afraid of the men that aided US to
| defeat a scheme, the success of which would
have drawn the life blood from our people,
and paralyzed the best interest of the State
for years:
| Ii Is not time for men to insist up
on their claims TO Office. We should be
happy TO do q friend favor, TO prefer the
claims of any distinguished fellow citizen tc
the support of the public, but where the in
| terest of the State, of the whole people, il
involved, We shall not hesitate which tc
| sustain. We think the interest of the whole
State requires the unanimous support by
the Conservative Republican ticket, provid-
ed, always, that ticket is composed of mod
crate good men, pledged co principals laid
down in the platform of June 23d, then We
| shall do our utmost to secure its complete
| success.
From the Meridian Gazette.
Therefore, the best, and really the only
means we have of ascertaining which OF
these parties is most deserving of our sup
port, if we through policy must support
one or the other, Is to take up the record
and investigate the characters OF the men
who compose them. As to the Radical OF
Eggleston party, we recognize among its
leaders many who, by all the whitewashing
! in the world, could not be made TO appear
otherwise than odious and detestible 10 the
| people of Mississippi. They are men who
| took advantage of our miSfOrtunes at the
earliest hour, and have been the Originators
of strife and disorder In our midst. They
have been q stay to progress and enterprise,
and have preferred to Keep the State in a
condition OF poverty and confusion rather
than have 1t reconstructed upon any terms
whatever that would dIvest them OF its con-
| troll. They persistantly continue to mis-
represent our State affairs at Washington,
with view of engaging the influence and
cooperation of tile President in carrying
out their programme.
We are prepared to regard more favora-
bly, the leading men of the other party.
They have been mild and conservative In
their course even while the Radical party
was united and.they dissapproved its vim
dictive, proscriDtive policy. This party with
a ticket composed of honest, upright gentle
men will have great claims on our conf
dence, and as there will be no democratic
ticket in the field will no doubt receive the
hearty and almost unanimous support of the
Southern people.
From the Walden Times.
We hoist the name of Judge Louis Dent
the most suitable candidate in the ap-
preaching canvass for Governor of Missis-
sippi. While Judge Dent is not our first
choice, yet as compromise, we prefer him
to any man in the State who voted for the
Constitution. Judge Dent will have a salu-
sDt..
Washington, being a brother-in-law to
Grant, and if there is any favors to be shown
to the Southern States, Mississippi, under
Dents administration, will get good share.
From the Kosciusko Chronicle.
What shoald be the course of the Conserv-
atives of the State? Which of these par
ties will they support? There cannot be
but one answer. The National Republican
Party. Yes, let all true Conservatives
both National Republican and Democratic
unite, and as one man, present an unbrok-
en- front. Let us adopt the Constitution as
expurgated. and elect men who will admin
lister the State Government in a spirit of
Cancellation and moderation, and let US
teach Ames and his crew that prescription
and oppression is not the policy to win the
hearts of true Mississippians.
From the Yazoo Banner.
During the late contest in Virginia there
was a respectable number of Conservatives
who declined any participation in the can
vass, who with Pharisaical air refused to
touch or handle'' any ticket save one of a
''red hot Democrats kind, and who mani
tested horror at the bare idea of giving
their suffrage to a Republican of any shade
of political thinking. Fer the future good
of the citizens of Virginia, this "red hot
faction was of extremely feeble force
From what we have heard, and from what
we have seen in few public prints, we fear
that a like faction in this State will seek eX-
istance. Such men, arraying their opinions
against the expressed will of the great ma
iority, surely have but little conception of
the great issues involved in this political
welfare.
A Republican administration fthis State,
even though not Radical, will compel the
admission of Mississippi. Elect Democrat
administration, your action will be denounc-
ed-we viii be remanded back to military
government, and our over-taxed people will
be saddled with registration andy election
expenses. Ii we were free to act, our choice
would perhaps fall upon another mar than
Mr. Dent. There being no freedom, we must
choose between two alternatives; either per-
nit by our folly an enemy to triumph, or
support one whose heart is warm for our
good, differing from us only as to the means
of attaining that good. Take up the plat
form of the Conservative Republicans, and
you will not find single principle enuncia-
ted but what has been approved by county
and mass meetings, We support Grant
they do we recognize the right of suffrage
to the negro-they do; we proclaim him be-
fore the law in the preservation of his rights
as freeman-they do; and they further de-
clare, '.we are in fsvOr of universal amnesty
and suffrage, and pledge their endeavors TO
effect removal of all disabilities" Let Us
