CANVASS NOTES FROM OUR
STATE EXCHANGES.
Minona Free Pres.

Capt. A. j. Baker, our honered Rep
resentative, delivered splendid address
to the WinonA Club last Saturday night.
Capt Baker made an enviable record
while in the Legislature, and is doing
good work in the present campaign.
Lee County Journal
Bob Thompson, ex-member of the
Legislature from Lowndes county, and
the same black scoundrel who murdered
Hugh Lee at Artesia few years ago,
because he attended public political
meeting, locked a school house door i'll
the Crawfordyille district to prevent
colored people from holding meeting to
organize a Democratic Club. What
will the freedom shrickers up North say
about this?
Mississippi Central
Col. Manning at Water Valley replied
in a speech of one and half hours,
fully sustaining the enviable reputation
which had preceded him as a ready, elo-
quent and able debater. He went at
the little Federal District Attorney and
would be Congressman with gloves off,
and fairly skinned him alive. Walton
was literally annihilated never did a
man get worse drubbing. Some of
Col. Mannings friends in the crowd
said that Walton had been sufficiently
punished, and begged Col. NJ. to desist.
Water Valley Central
L. Barksdale, elector for State at large
addressed large and enthusiastic crowd
at the Courthouse in this city, on Thurs
day night last. His speech was both
eloquent and argumentative. His ar
raignment Of the Radical party was most
severe, but just. He was frequently in
terrupted by loud and deafening cheers,
which was conclusive evidence that he
was addressing an apprciative audience.
Those Of our citizens who were favored
with the opportunity of hearing his able
and powerful vindication OF Tilden, Hen
: drick's and reform, on Thursday even,
ing last, enjoyed rich intellectual treat.
, We regret that time precluded him from
making more lengthy speech. He was
: forced to cut short his address by the
arrival of the train upon which he had
to leave for his home. In him Missssip
pi and the down trodden and oppressed
South have noble and gifted champ
ion.

Capt. NJ, Shaughnessey, the Radica
: candidate for Congress in the Sixth Dis.
, trict against Col. Hooker, has made t
e list of appointment to make speeches.
e The Captain could better spend his time

McComb City Intellicencer.I
, McComb City was honored on Tues
:, day last by visit from ex-Gov. A. G.
Brown and Col. II. N. Miller. Alright,
in response to an invitation from the
Tilden and Hendricks Club, they ad.
dressed a large audience at Harvey Hall.
Gov Browns speech was eminently Con
, sentative, replete with pointed argument
and devoid of glttering generalities. Ii
, was evident that the deep earnestness oil
his manner carried conviction to the
minds of his hearers. Col. Miller,
though quite young, has all the freedom
and vigOr of style and fertility of exten.
sive and original though that would
characterize an orator of maturer years.
He depicted in glowing language the bit
ter wrongs and outrages that for years
past had been heaped upon the helpless
and impoverished South,
Tidal Wave.l
In Memphis, last week, we met Sher-
if Manning, Of Tunica, who says that in
his county every white Republican ex.
cept two are in favor of Chalmers for
Congress, and that those two are depen-
dent on the Administration for their ten
ure of office.
Col. Manning.
