The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1875-09-01

This gentleman returned to his post
in good health and fine spirits, on Friday
last. The following kind notices are
highly appreciated by his associates in
THE CLARION, as well as by his numer-
ours friends in this State and elsewhere +:
Lockport Daily Journal 23rd of August.
On Saturday, just after going to press
too late for insertion, we received the fol-
lowing by telegraph. We publish it as an
indication that the Mississippi excursion
lists were well pleased with their reception
by the citizens at this place, and the high
regard in which Mr.. Power, Lockport
boy, is held in Mississippi:
To W. c. Richardson, T. Z. Flagler, and
Others
The Mississippi excursionists send
greeting and thanks to the press and Peo-
pie of Lockport. Our visit to your hos
pitable and beautiful city, has been one
of the most delightful features of ouI
excursion out, will be long and gratefully
remembered. We do not wish LockPOr;
any harm, but We would rejoice if she
could send to Mississippi thousand such
men as Col. John L. Power who is al
honor to our State and feels lofty pride
in his boyhood home.

The meeting then proceeded to organize

w. w. Vaught, President T.. Nc.
Cain, Vice-President A. Leblanc, Sec
rotary
On motion, the Club assumed the
name of "THE MAGNOLIA DEMOCRATIC
CONSERVATIVES CLUB" and endorsed the
platform of the State Democratic. Conser.
vative Convention.
On motion, the President was requested
to aPportion this electoral precinct into
several subdivisions, and to appoint one
or more canvassers from each subdivision.
whose duty it shall be to encourage and
advise all who have not registered, to come
forward and perform that sacred duty to
themselves, their families and their coHn-
try.
The President was also requested to
report the number of subdivisions, and
his appointments at the next meeting Of
this Club.
On motion, it was unanimously
Resolved, That this Club shall meet
every Saturday at 3 o'clock p. NJ, in the
town of Magnolia.
1t was then ordered that the Secretary
open lists for enrolment, for the conve-
nience of those who desire to become
members of this Club, and the following
resolution was unanimously adopted
Resolved, That we cordially invite
every good citizen, within the jurisdiction
of this Club, irrespective of race, color,
or previous condition, who is opposed 10
unwlse legislation, and in favor Of an
honest, faithful and impartial admins
tratiOn of the government, to come for

publish the same.
The Club then adjourned to meet again

The Ames AdminIstra1ion.

Ames is complete master of the Radical
party. Alcorn is sentenced to retirement
Mckee has been overthrow Warner is
taken up in place of Niles Lynch is re-
nominated without opposition Little Will
beat Powers, and the Radical State Exec
utive Committee have endorsed Howe IN
preference to Wells. In addition, the
Radical State Convention passed the
following resolution endorsing the Ames
administration, and there was no Repub-
lican in the entire body who had the
temerity TO raise his voice against it:
10. That we congratulate the party of
the State on the successful and economical
administration of Gov. Ames, and we
pledge our earnest support i'll his efforts
in the reduction of taxes and enforcement
Of the laws.
The Times has entered its protest
against this resolution, but it is like
shooting straws against the wind. Ames
is the Republican party in Mississippi, by
virtue of the patronage which he wields
and his supposed control at Washington,
and he is the man the friends of Reform
will have to beat before they can succeed
| in their mission.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1875-09-01
The Republican Platform.

For information, we have published
this document, adopted by the Radical
State Convention on the 25th. 1t is a
repetition of the old promises which the
Juggling fiends " have SO repeatedly
held to "the ear and broken to the
hope" \ noticeable feature of the plat
form is its endorsement of the Ames
Administration, and its failure TO endorse
the Grant Administration. Why is
Adelbert pouting at Grant? Is it be-
cause the latter did not respond for troops
to operate against the Nicksburgers when
they were called for, and that there is
very little prospect Of getting them in the
pending election?
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1875-09-01

The Richmond (Va.) Enquirer thus
comes forward to the support of much
abused man:
Touching the same reconstruction re-
cord, Gen. Longstreet has been sadly msun-
derstood. He joined a number of other Con-
federate generals ia an early movement in
the way OF reconciliation and an oblivion
of all past difficulties. The movement
proved unpopular, and the other generals
withdrew. Gen. Longstreet thought it was
right and went ahead and, after Il while, be
was forced by ostracism into the Republican
party. This is the head and front of his
offending
We quite agree with the st. Louis Re
publican in never questioning Gen. Long
streets devotion to, what he conceived to
be, the welfare of the South; and that
while he was undoubtedly mistaken, the
error was of the head, not of the heart
Had he wanted to turn traitor, he could
have done SO durin g the war, and reaped
ample reward thereby. The Confedera-
cy never had firmer friend or a more
gallant soldier than LoNGsTREET, and
the sober second thought of the South
will yet declare that he has been made
the victim of most undeserved and un-
generous persecution.
While the North and the South are
shaking hands, it is time the quarrels be-
tween the men of the South, over ques-
tons of policy, were closed up. Let us
have genuine outpouring of ture in
wardness all around.
