what the Republicans OF Missis.
sippI think OF G. Wiley Wells.

siPPI think Of G. wiley Wells.
We dislike to devote SO much of our
space to such a creature as G. WilcY
Wells, member Of Congress from the p
District; bat as some Of the voters IN
California. where g. Wiley Is NOT lknouel
may believe the slanders he il retailing |
against Mississippi, and especially against
the men who elected him to Congress,
We feel it to be our duty to let Califor-
MIA Republicans know in what estims-
ton the fellow was held, less than twelve
months ago, by the Republicans of Mis-
sissippi.
The Jackson Pilot is now, and has
been for six years and over, the recog-
nizsd organ Of the Republican party Of
Mississippi, and was during the entire
period of Republican rule, the "official
organ of the party. We copy from
that paper the following acticles, which
appeared in its columns during the can
vass of 1875:
Think Of it, colored men of Mississippi,
this man Wells, IrhOm Coz. Ames has
refused to trust because of his untruthful-
ness and tredchery, is attempting to make
you believe that that gentleman-who
has, for seven years, been your truest
and most trusted friends responsible
for the murders committed by the White
League of Vicksburg, and that he cares
nothing for the lives of twenty FIVE or
thirty negroes" Republicans Missis.
sippi is about the only Southern State
left, where you have the reins of gov
ernment in your hands, and if you would
keep it so, you must shun such men as
Wells, who go around assisting the De-
mocracy in breaking down your party.
Avoid them; and by your actions and
future ballots, show them that they shall
neither have your countenance nor sup
port.-Pilot, Aug. IA.
We hope every Republican in the
State of Mississippi will carefully read
the following clippings from the Jackson
CLARION for the 18th inst, and then
remember that they are the result of one
ofG. Wiley Wells base falseboods. This
fellow Wells is not the only man, claim
ing to be Republican, who goes arouad
,, furnishing food to such papers as tht
CLARION and Vicksburg Herald Ther.

sional nomination--Pilot, Aug. 21.
E A correspondent, endorsed editorially
e in the same issue, speaking of the Con
gressional Convention, says:
Mr.. Wells always intended to bolt j
: he was beaten :. he had nothing to lose
= knowing, well as he did, that through
= his treachery in the past, and his ,Oell
knOsOn propensity for lying, that the day
+ and hours of his official career in thi
n State were numbered, and extremel
e brief. He had nothing to expect from
the Republican party, and obeying tn
wishes of his Democratic friends, he al
: tempts what has already met with defes
J, in this district-to split the Republica
g vote and get the Democrats solid.
n The four following paragraphs ar
9 copied from the issue of Oct. 20:
e We are informed that one or two Re
!. publicans have tied themselves on to tn
fortunes of G. Wiley Wells. Grea

i the next ten days all those who are il
: the regular harness of the party as can
didates will drop G. Wiley, as the
y would drop dead skunk. What anna
II teurs may do, nobody knows, and nc
body cares, but G. Wiley's political sta
of destiny is about set.
ia In the Second Congressional Distric

- game of Dent, Greeley and Alcorn, on a
It exceedingly small scale. They seem re
II luctant to give up that trick. This time
N G. Wiley Wells is their champion hors,

J ciently to enable the Democracy to sen
