A wide ,pread satisfaction follows the de-
csion Of tie senatorial contest True the
personal friends of Barksdale, Singleton and
Walthall fed personal disappointment but
this is chased away by the universally ac-
cepted fact tlat the interest and honor of
Mississippi have been entrusted to one who
falls below neither of the three in any re-
quisite for the exalted and responsible duties
TO which he has been called. The record
shows that the contest has been n knightly
one, each bravely battling for personal ad-
vancement whilst jealously guarding against
detriment to their party organization.
We are of those who claim the right to
exercise preference for men. Claiming
the right we must in fairness concede it TO
others. We hope thisspirlt will manifest
itself among the supporters Of the. different
gentlemen who have been so Loyalty adhered
to during the protracted struggle and that
we will have no Barksdale, Singleton Wal
thall or George men but all will heartily
unite as Democrats vieing with each other
in jealous works for the success of the party
as the only safety of the country.
Holly Springs Reporter.
The Democratic party ofMississippi owes
great deal to Ethel Barksdaie for past SER
vices but it has been placed under still fur.
ther obligations to him by his self-sacrifcing
withdrawal from the Senatorial race while
still in the lead of his rivals. When he said
during the canvass that his own aspirations
would be subordinated TO his party's good
he meant exactly what he said. This last
exhibition of devotion to his party was sim
ply grand.

Hon. o. r. Singleton held an honorable
position in the recent contest for U. ;. Sen
