Party U-age.

The press did wise and patriotic
thing in its Convention to adopt reso-
luton TO adhere rigidly to Democratic
organizations and to oppose ''independ-
ent" action on the part Of candidates pro-
Tossing TO belong to the party The
press is a power in the State, and so long
as it enforces discipline and maintains
the usages of the party, its ascendency
will be secure. When it abandons the
one, the other will cease. Organization
is essential to success. Order is Heavens
first law applied to all the affairs of life.
A party in the minority can afford to be
loose in its discipline at times If its
members have the guide of common prin-
ciple, they can sometimes 90 out in the
range without brand or bridle," and
come back to the fold in due time with
accessions. But not so the majority.
They cannot afford to straggle. Their
lines must be kept close. Discipline
must be enforced. Disorganizers must
be treated as political enemies. In the
ensuing canvass, candidates, in every in
stance, should have the credentials of
regular nominees" pledged to stand by
the principles and the organization of the
Democratic party. Nothing else will save
it from drifting in to chaos and defeat
1t may be the plan of our Republican
adversaries to Gle low and keep dark"
in the ensuing canvass in the hope Of
profiting by divisions, and then to spring
, upon us unawares like the tiger from its
jungle upon its unsuspecting prey. The
press has given forth no uncertain sound.
1t will contribute powerfully in keeping
up the organization Of the party on which
the hope of the State for future develop
ment and prosperity depends but it
must have the cooperation and efficient
support of the people.

-. Vi. Stone for Governor.

EDITORS CLARION: Mississippi stands
prominently before the country as one of
the best governments among the sisterhood
of States Under the able administration
of Hon. J. NJ. Stone, as Governor of the
State, she has lowered to that position of
prominence unprecedented in history, and
secured a record thus far that cannot be
impeached.
What true Mssissippian can fail to ap-
preciate the action of our noble Goyernor
in the late and unfortunate kemper county
difficulties? With that true manliness so
prominent in his character, he repaired in
person to the scene of the late disturbance.
to ascertain if there was anything the EX-
ecutlve of the State could do to suppress
excitement and establish order.
What better evidence of fitness for Cub
ernatorial honors, in the person of Hon.
j. NJ STONE, to the people of the State OF
Mississippi.
In this section we hear but one loud and
united reclamation HSTONE FOR GOVERNOR
and we in common with other citizens of
the State choose him as our standard
bearer.

The A$Ssie Not Vet Settled.

The withdrawal of the troops from the
State Houses of South Carolina and
Louisiana, WheHe they never had a con
stitutional right to go, will not end the
controversy. The questions remains,
first, as to the size of the army; and
secondly, as to the power of the Emcu-
tive TO employ the army of the army Of
the United States, at his discretion, in
regulating the internal concerns of the
States, and the power of the House of
Representatives to impose conditions as
to the use Of the army, in voting the sup
plies for its support. 1t is substantially
revival Of the old struggle between the
Crown and the Commons, which resulted
in making the latter the governing power
of England, by controlling the public
purse, and upsetting MINISTRIES at the
will of majority.

At Commencement of the Column

tonight, Postmaster General Cres-
we'll was selected to deliver the Grafton
to the graduates. He so far forgot the
proprieties of the occasion as to indulge
in set politisal speech, in the course Of
which he cited the decision of the Elee-
toral Commission as an evidence of the
majesty of the law. The uncalled for
allusion to the Eight to Seven Commits
sion evoked 3 storm of Kisses, and from
an audience of the most distinguished
residents of the District Mrs. Hayes
was present, as well as Evarts. Judge
