LEFT OUT IN THE COLD

The Brownsville States of the 9th,
has the following:
ave are sorry to say that from the
latest advices on this subject, certain
combinations have been, or will be made
and entered into by the other two coun-
ties co1o posing this Floterial District
Madison and Hardeman-by which
there will be no chance for any man
2 from this county to receive the nOmina-
! ton. Unfortunately for Haywood cOun-
SO in this particular, Madison and Har-
deman compose one Senatorial District,
affording ample ground, and in these de-
generate days an almost irresistible
temptation to trade. There is nothing in
politics more reprehensible and repul-
sive. The one gets the Senator and the
other the Floater. This was the way
and manner the candidate from this
county was beaten in the last convention
in jackson: Hardeman got the Senator
and Madison the FIoater. This is the
arrangement we understand for the next
convention. Wood, of Hardeman, for
Senator, and the Floater to come from
Madison, and so on Gd iHfnitung, Hay
wood always being left out in the cold.
This is not as it should he. Let US have
the best men for these positions regard
less Of locality. Wood is a first class
man-would make a splendid representa-
tive from his district. Let him by all
means be. sent there if no better man is
put forward, but let it not be done at the
expense of ruling Haywood out on the
Pictorial question. Take the beet man
that is presented from the three coun-
ties regardless of where the Senator
comes from. What say our friends OF
tn Jackson and Bolivar Press? We
have first class man whom we wish to
present for this position when the proper
time arrives, but if this unhOly alliance
continues all we have to do will be to
step down and out. This will be very
good way to renew the bad feeling that
once existed between this county and
Madison. We had hoped that sach would
never be the case
We are sorry to find our respected
contemporary so disturbed. Brother
Haywood States, keep cool. Some 60
between, misunderstanding busy-body
has been telling you stories on sister
Hardeman. She is in no unhOly al
lance with any one. There ID no com
bination whatever with sister Madison
as TO the Pictorial or Senatorial success
sion. Some adventurous political bucks
ter,who has a good deal of low-rated mer-
chandIzo on hand and for sale. has no
doubt started rumors of schemes merely
to district your attention.
Hsrdeman does not claim the Senak or
ship, though she has Capt. Wood and
other distinguished men who are able to
fill any position in the gift of the people.
Remember that four years ago Harde-
man gave Haywood the Floater and she
has never been permitted to confer that
honor upon one of her own sons. How
ever that may be, we agree with the
States in saying take the best men
for those positions regardless of local.

to the tread-mill of cliquss and rings; OF
