Special to the Appeal
sARDIs, Miss, December S-Your CORE
spondent, in his special to the APPEAL last
night, did Captain Polk, the candidate elected
mayor, and the judges OF election, great in
justice in intimating that there was any cor
ruption on their part. I am fully satisfied
that none Of them knew OF or encouraged any
nlegality of any kind in the election. The
judges did sll in their power to prevent any
illegal voting upon the part of railroad hands
and all Others. No counsel has volunteered
to contest the election for me, that am aware
of. Publish this at once, and do Justice to all
parties. D. B. M'HENRY, Mayor.

California Politics.
SAN FRANCISCO, December The Iegisla-
ture of this state will meet again to-day. The
adjournment yesterday is considered one OF
sharp practice to give the Democrats and Re-
publicans time 10 complete their plans against
Booth and the independents, whom he leads.
1t seems TO be generally conceded, however,
that Booth will be elected for the long term
and some Democrat for the short one. Who
the latter may be has not been definitely sell
tied. There is a report that CasSerly is work
ing TO defeat Booth, but it is not geBerally
credited. There are all sorts of rumOrS OF bar
gains, compromises and combinations, but
the proceedings today Will probably tell the
whole story.
