If the Radical party Of this State had two
tickets in the ticld-the one headed Dy
bold, bad man. and the other led by n com
naratively moderate man, as WAS the case
In each State alluded to, there might be
some sense in the Democracy exercising

the most advantages. But in the absence
of these conditions, II is folly to think OF
doing what the Signet recommends win
such pertinacious loquacity.

is surprising to see how many Of our
so-called Democratic papers are uozlnR
away the all-important time which should
be wisely spent in casting about Us search

timid, and seem afraid to suggest anything
Democratic. Some intimate that they are
willing to trade with the Radicals and d.

From the Canton Mail.
should the Republican party split aud
the Conservatives run "A State ticket, the
Conservatives will, in all probably he
elected. If so, the State, in our humble es-
timation, will be saved and our credit re-

continues between the Powers and Alnes
wings of the Republican party, and they
fail to come together, why not drop these
bones of contention and take up third
man? Has the Republican party no home
man, able and well qualified for the guber-
Material chair, or is it driven TO that strait

there not Republicans in Mississippi who
are as stauuch and strait-laced AS other Re
pubicans from other States? We think so;

ty upon third ticket-a home man for
Governor, we will be secured m honest adj
ministration of the laws OF the State.
Let the Republicans show their good faith
and the sincerity of their teachings, that
they want "A good State Government, and
put up such man AS Judge G. &. Shack!e-
ford.
