ELECTION

Four days more for work before the
close Of election next Tuesday eve
ming Whatever work is done must
be done speedily. A few more public
meetings will be held and speeches
ma de. Besides these whatever is done
must be by personal efforts. A few,
perhaps many, have not yet decided
whether they will vote or how they
will vote. These should be seen and
the Greenbackers heresies and false
hoods counteracted and the Democra-
tic duplicity and lies exposed. The
Republican platform and policy should
be presented and their correctness en-
forced. Truth should be offended at
every point Of attack. There is much
yet to be done and every Republican
should feel that hehas part of it to do
and work to do it. And, more than
all, every Republican should go to
election and vote. And, still more,
every Republican should work to Sc
cure every vote and see that every Re-
publican vote and every vote in favor
of the Republican candidates goes in
i to the ballot boxes. 1t is votes that
elect and votes never count till they
are polled. Republicans, friends of
honest money and honest Government
do your duty till the polls are closed
the votes canvassed and returns made
| and all will be well.

| The Rockford Gazette says that the
Republican orators throughout that
district care doing good work, and pro-
pose to keep at it, and it urges the
pushing forward "a quiet personal
canvass until the 5th Of November"
adding that 'there are many influen-
tial men who cannot deliver a speech,
but can talk effectively and carry con-
viction with their words. On these
quiet workers we can rely for victory
as much as we 40 upon our gifted ora
tors who fascinate anu please on the
platform.
How much of a quiet personal work
is being done in this district and
county. 1t is as necessary in this dis
trict as in the Rockford district, and
more necessary in this county.

A ISLANDER EXPOSED by Hon. J. V.
Quarles is published in this paper and
to it we call attention. We know moth
ing of the SANDER or of the statements
of Col. Daniels Or others except from
report and the statement of MI.
Quarles. If correctly reported and
stated it not only reflects upon profess
siongl honor but upon personal char
acter for truth and veracity and Mr..
Quarles does right to notice and expose
it. Mr.. Quarles' professional honor
and personal character were not allow
led to stand in the way when making a
speech in favor of the Greenbackers
and indirectly Of the Democrats. Both
would be sacrificed for political effect.
But the stander will fail of the effect
intended and recoil upon the SANDER
ers. and we trust they will be rebuked
at the polls even by the Greenbackers.

GREENBACKERS TICKET.

Three or four weeks ago the Green
hackers of Kenosha county met in con-
vention, nominated candidates for
Member Of Assembly and county Off
GERS, and had their proceedings pub
lished in the TELEGRAPH. A week or
two ago the report went out that the
candidates had withdrawn and the
party retired from the contest, leaving
the Democratic and Republican par
ties to contest the matter between
themselves. This report was con-
firmed by the statements Of the can
didates and others and was generally
believed to be reliable. But some
time last week the dead party was re-
animated with new life and a full
ticket of candidates differing consid-
erably from the first ticket. It now
comprises two or three Democrats and
six or seven Republicans. Here as
elsewhere the Democrats are the orig
inators of the Greenbacker move
ment and they can well afford to run
a ticket if they can have it made up
of two OF more Republicans to one
Democrat, And then, judging from
the past, it is pretty certain that all
the Democrats on the ticket will not
vote it. Evidently the purpose is to
draw votes from the Republicans and
thereby improve the chance for the
election of the Democratic candidates:
The composition of the ticket shows
the purpose of the Democratic wire
workers too plainly to deceive.

PARKER-WIIITAMS

Hon. Charles H. Parker, the Green
backer Democratic candidate for Mem
Der OF Congress is a capitalist, a bond
holder, q banker and manufacturer.
We do notspeak of this as an objection
to him for Member of Congress, but as
an objection to him as a candidate for
the Greenbackers and Democrats. 1t
IS very inconsistent for parties profess
sing to be opposed to capitalists, bond
holders and banks to nominate a man
and support candidate who is capt.
talist, a bondholder and banker. But
no inconsistency is too great for the
leading Greenbackers and Democrats.
1t is only the honest Greenbackers and
Democrats who will see and acknoWl-
edge the inconsistency and these must
90 violence to their feelings or refuse
to support the candidate. Many are
refusing their support and declare their
intention not to support the candidate.
And many honest Greenbackers and
Democrats, in favor Of honest money.
will withhold their support and vote
for Hon. Charles G. Williams.
In one respect, aside from politics,
we object to the support of MI. Parker.
He is not a public speaker. AS is well
known, in conducting the canvass, he
takes man with him and introduces
him to speak for him. In the House
OF Representatives a member cannot
speak by proxy. He must speak for
himself or not at all. MI. Parker could
not speak and the people Of the First
Congress District would not be heard.
Now more than ever we need Repre-
sentative in the House who can speak,
A solid South in the House needs to be
met by Representative who under
stands the rules of the House and can
speak on the moment occasion requires,
MIR. Parker could not do it, Hon.
Charles G. Williams could and would.
and he is the man for the people of the
First District to elect to represent
them.

Agricultural College.

The people Of northcart Miss's
sippi are making strenuous eiiorts
TO secure the location of the agri.
cultural college in their midst, ana
as the governor seems to have APP
poipted the board of trustees with
special reference to its location IN
that quarter, We are inclined to be-
iieye iu will 60 there, not withstand
ing the injustice it would do to the
southeastern portion of the State
a norton that has never received
ANYTHING at the hands OF the state.
North Mississippi already has two
State institutions OF learning, and
southwest Mississippi one, and IT
does appear to us that simple JUS,
tice demands that the agricultural
college should be located III the
southeast. Brandon would be an
excellent point; but we shall not
rrumble if it is located at any other
point on or south of the V~icksburg
and Meridian railroad. Why don't
orr people interest themselves in
this important matter p Brandon

Col. w. LEE PATTON: will
this evening drop you Il note in re-
gard to small pox in Pike county.
| have just returned from the neigh
borhood where the small pox is,
aud | see from several statements
that we have it in Pike and Marion
counties, and will state for those
interested, that we have not had IA
single case in the eastern part OF
Pike yet, but it is at Mr.. Mike
Pearson's who lives i'll Marion coun-
ty very near the line, but he claims
his citizenship in Marion county.
| made u mistake in my letter to
you, dated the 18th inst, in stat
ing that two of Mr.. Bracey's chill
dren were dead, only Mr.. aud Mrs.
Bracey, and infant child died with
small pox. At this time all the
cases heard from are doing well
ard have nurses to attend TO them.
| make this correction for the
good of our county, being personal
~ acquainted with the territory,
having assessed tho lands, and
know those cases are in Marion
county.
Respectfully yours,
l. a. GUN.

TH1T LETTER.

Judge Footc, the senator from
Noxubee, rises up and says he
never signed that letter said to
have been written to Col. Lamar
endorsing his course on the silver
bill. In his letter addressed to
the Macon Beacon he says:
desire to say as n member of the State
senate, that | never signed any such letter,
nor have l heard anything about it., ex-
cept what l have seen in the Inder. This
may be on account of my blindness and
being led, or leading the blind.
Since the above WASN'T type we find
in the Edwards Citizen the reply OF
Col. Lamar to the letter spoken of,
which is conclusive evidence that
some such document was written
to the honorable senator. The let
ter written by our State senators
has not yet come to light, but will
probably be published 'ere long.
The following is Col. Lamar's reply:
To the Honorables W. A. Montgomery, j.
b. Morgan, j. l.. McCaskill, K. ii. Allen,
W. IL. FitzGerald, w. ID. Gibbs, S. T.
Oldham, l.. w. Lee, Chas. L. Furlong,
w. l.. Lawrancc, c. G. Callicott, X. II.
Thompson and John w. Fewell:
Gentlemen-I have the great pleasure of
acknowledging the receipt of your letter of
the 18th February. From the time when,
in the discharge of what | considered an
imperative duty, | voted against the silver
bill, until the adjournment of the legisla-
ture of Mississippi, l have steadily fOrbore
any correspondence with its members |
found myself unable to agree with IA ma
jority of them upon a very grave question
of public policy; and, having done what
l considered my duty, l felt that it was
only proper that | should leave them to
discharge theirs without explanation OF
suggestion from me. 1t was for them to
decide what estimate they should place on
my action, free from any personal depreca-
ton on my part.
As the legislature has now adjourned
without any expression of opinion upon
the vote which | cast, / feel myself at
liberty to return my thanks to those who
have recognized, as you have done, the
spirit in which | acted,
| do not know what our individual
opinions are, as to the merits of he bill
itself, and | feel, therefore, only the more
grateful for an approval of the independ-
ence of Judgment which | thought it my
duty to exercise.
This confidence in my character and up
proval of my construction of my senatorial
duty are infinitely more valuable to me
than any popularity which a vote cast
either way on any particular measure
might achieve. They are worth more, far
more, than the personal honor they do me
They will serve as an encouragement to
others, who, representing you hereafter,
may feel themselves burdened with SINH
lar responsibilities, and they illustrate the
intelligence, the ndelity, the generosity OF
the State, of whom it will be, as it ever
has been, my highest ambition to be u
trusted representative.
l AIN, gentlemen, very truly and sincere
ly, yours. L.. Y. I. LAMAR.

THE Canton Mail thinks that if $500 is
good pay for a farm hand, it ought TO be
deemed excellent for a teacher. So do we,
and we venture the opinion that the
teacher who works q year for $500 does
not honestly earn the money! icksbHrg
Express.
Yes, and we will venture the as.
sertion that the editor of the En-
press does not know the value OF
an education, or he certainly would
not make such a remark. And so
far as comparing the wages of a
farm hand with a teachers salary
we thought better of Bro. Ross of
the Mail. We deem the position
of school-teacher a most important
one, and think those who are to
instruct the rising generation
should be literally paid for their
services.
