Madison County.

The Democratic Conservative Conven.
ton of Madison county, which met last
week, nominated Col. w. G.. Kearney
to fill the vacancy on their Legislative
ticket. Col. Kearney is a substantial
planter in the western end of the county.
He was, at the beginning of the war,
Captain of the Beauregard Rifles, and
subsequently Lieutenant Colonel of the
18th Regiment Mississippi Volunteers.
Like his colleagues, Messrs. Gilmer and
Baskin, he has been faithful to Missis-
sippi at all times and under all circum-
stances. Madison county will do well
to entrust her legislative business to
their keeping.

Yesterdays Elections.

Elections were held yesterday in Iowa
and Ohio, but up to the hour of going
to press we had received no returns. In
Iowa there were three tickets, Republi-
can, Greenback and Democratic. The
last Gubernatorial vote was, Republican,
134, 544; Democratic, 1858 Green
back, 1929. We presume that the
election yesterday gave the usual
Republican majority. In Ohio, there
were also three tickets in the field.
with the Greenback ticket practically
out of the canvass. The Democratic
candidate for Governor was Gen. Thos.
Ewing, with Charles Foster as his
Republican opponent. The contest was
believed to be very close, each side
claiming that it would have about
10000 majority. The last vote for
Governor stood, Democratic, 271, 625;
Republican, 248, los; Greenback. 90
401 f; Prohibition, 1914.
To the people of the South the chief
interest in the Ohio election necessarily
centers upon the Legislature to be
elected, as upon it depends choice of
United States Senator in place of Hon.
A. g. Thurman. Besides, the Republi-
cans propose to rearrange the Congress
sional Districts should they have a
majority in the Legislature, so as to en-
sure the elections Of more Republicans
to the lower house of Congress at the
next election. The Democrats had a
majority of torty-two on joint ballot in
the last Legislature, and were confident.
at last accounts of holding it at the
election which took place yesterday.

The people of Louisiana have tried
holding elections for State and county
officers, at the same time that Presi-
dental and Congressional elections
take place, and found to their sorrow
that it did not work well. For the
good Of the State they have, in their
new Constitution which is to be voted
for next December, changed State cleo
tions from the time of National cleo
tions to different year. They want
no more United States Marshals, and
Supervisors, running their State cleo
tions. The people of Mississippi had
better profit by Louisana's experience,
and vote down the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution.

TO state that Kinds is thoroughly united and
that the Conservative Democracy will achieve
handsome victory in November. THERE'S no
dissatisfaction, no complaints, in the rank OF
the party, that we know of, ami the lit.le op-
pos ton that comes from the IndepeR dents
/ and Greenbackers, is just of sufficient impor-
lance to give life 10 the canvass and draw out
respectable vote al the polls. There Is no
excitement and no material feeling outside Of
certain circles, but the turn out when the day
comes will be sufficient TO roll up a majority
IN the county OF 800 votes tor the Democratic
Conservative ticket.

Saturday night. In an address Of one

to confined confidence and support, was
especially pointed and unanswerabIe.

place prepared for the speaking, and were
highly entertained and enlightened by those

cannot give something like a synopsis, suffice
to say however, that the four hours speaking
passed almost in twinkling, which was an
evidence of its effect on the crowd The bar
becue was the biggest and best ever had in the
county-the meat was cooked fit for a king,
every bit of it, and there was enough of it,
and bread in proportion, to have fed third
from seven to one thousand, all sober, quiet
and attentive. The colored people paid par
tieular attention and seemed to weigh we'll the
forcible arguments made by the speakers.

At Brookhaven, last Monday, we had the
pleasure of meeting Or. G. A Teunisson of
Lawrence county, the Democratic nominee

found the Doctor to be a genial, whole

confident that Lawrence county can en-

To that we will add that DIR. Teunis-
