from the Twelfth District, to the

IA few words which we have had in
Mr.. Warner was elected i'y acclana-
/ zion showing that no great Ohjec-
I ton WIS brought 80 his holding the
chair named. The Senate has rea'-
| IN done itself an homer in thus COM
piimeuring an cstimable and deser-
! wing gentleman. That body had
reason to put on record It's recog,i-
tiun of his emIlNnt services to the
party to which he belongs and of
his unrrmlttIng labors tor The S ate,
eXtentlng over Il peri I'd of snnr six
years. As II presiding officer, and
in his knowledge "f parliamentary
prac; ice, he has 10 supe. ier ia the
State Asa Senator, he has l'eer
always faithful, ever at his post,
and ever eager to indOrs, ard al
vucate any and all acts which, DIES
p t. opposition, he honestly believ-
I'd were for the best interests Of all
the citizens OF his State. In the
shaping and management OF the
mOmtntous matters which have
been committed to his charge, he
has been industrious, energ Tic and
,.arett ]. A temperate man in de-
bate; always cool, deliberate and
srlfpOised, he has seldom met defeat
where right aud argument were on
his SIDE, and he has refused t., take
part in anything that he tho a,ght
failed to realize his idea of what
constituted right and truthfuiness.
With everything apparently in his
favor, and with the sincere regard
of the majority of the Senate and
his party friends, we believe that.

acrlam.,tion. La ficf. he was the
man for the place, au,! even his pti-
ii ical opponents confess SD as much
by their silence, OF bN leading their
voices III his support Cod. Warner
has been IA resident OF the State for
mere han ten years, and in all these
years he has proven himself an un
wavering, staunch and Out-sPOken
Republican,. He was one among
the Spartan band that had the hon
or of founding the Republican par
ty in Mississippi. After 40 long a
term of public service, and after SO
many efforts for the good cause
that all have at hear, may he not
seek Il higher field for the employ
ments of his talents aud his ener-
gieS /! We think that he can, and
should he do so, we prOphesy that
he will prove successful. 1t not, it
will he because OF wonderful
show of ingratitu,ie in an Organiza
tion that has not usually been slow
to reward the gallant and never
falterIng under it's cOlors. We Ger
raiHly hope to see Senator Warner
back in The Stare Senate, where we
feel assured his fitness, his power
ful advocacy of the true principles
of Republicanism, aud bis untiring
adherence to principle, will he re-
cOSnized as they should be rrcogni-
zed, 10y his election to, at least, the
position that he has I'll
led so well from Friday, and will |
fill up to the end of this session of
the Legislature. In saying this We
believe we merely give the general
opinion of Republicans all over the
State.
