Ripley Sentinel: By invitation Of the com
mittee, we went to Ashland last Wednesday TO
attend a grand Democratic barbecue. The
crowd present variOusly estimated at
from 100 TO 1000 people. According 70 prev
ious arrangements we made a speech to the
assembled multitude after which Gen. Feath-
erston made one Of his Characteristic speeches
sound, logical and convincing. We were At
a loss to understand how any man with ordl-
reasoning faculties could fail to become CEN
WINGED that Hancock. English and Manning Is
the ticket to vote Gen. Featherston has been
a Hancock man since 1868, and of course Is
over his nomination. Our opln-
ion is that Mississippi has no truer son than
Gen. Feathetston and none more deserving OF
her confidence.
Pontotoc Democrat: Il was announced that
Col. c. B. Mitchell would speak at the Bap-
the crowd, and as the announce
lnent became known the crowd at once moved
off in the direction of that place. The house
was packed and hardly half of the people
could get seats Col Mitchells speech was just
the thing we went TO hear-full of enthusiasm
abounding in genuine eloquence and inter
spersed with pointed and laugha bic anecdotes
his comparison OF the two National candidates
was enough to convince the most prejudiced
mind that Hancock is soldIer-statesman, a
noble and sublime type of American chivalry,
bearing a character and record that is as
pure and white the driven snow; while
Garfield stands before the world, a political
Lrickster bribed and purjured william as
shown by the records of his own party. HIS /
exposure of the Greenback fraud was also /
based upon records, and ii there was Green I
hacker in the house when he began dom /
believe he could have had the ace TO have
owned it when Mr.. NJ. closed. The Democra- /
" of Pontotoc is alive to the issues of the /
coming campaign and mean 10 poll the largest
vote November that the county has polled
since the war.
