/ Lexington Bulletin.
In the dark times when Radicallsm was
rampant throughout the State, and ). L.
Acorn was bearing the banner OF his party
aloft. backed as he was by the authoritative
bayonets of the General Government, Cen
Lowry canvassed the State against HIM,
met him upon the hastings, and wrestled
with him successfully throughout the can
vass. In those days it took man OF
nerve as well as talent TO debate from
place to place with Alcorn, and Lowry was
selected for the occasion. Ills conduct OF
that canvass, though not himself candI-
date, was admirable, and attested the wis
dom that prompted such selection
Kinds County Gazette.
With Lowry and Stands, the ticket has
splendid head-a head that may we'll chal- |

State, who has the true interests of Missis-
sippi at heart, and that they will lead the
whole ticket to victory bv tremendous \
majority we believe. The remainder of the |
ticket is composed of the old officers-each |
for the place he has filled for years past. /
They are all gentlemen of ability and wor-
thy of the best efforts of the party.
Yazoo Herald.
The ticket put forth by the State Demo
cratic Convention is good one in all re-
spects: it is composed of true men and tried
Democrats, and il is bound to win. 1t is
headed by one of Mississippi's most hOnorcd
sons, man without fear and without re-
proach, one beloved by,all who know him,
for it is his to possess those traits abundant
ly which render man so admirable in the II
eyes of his fellows. In Brandon, where he
lives, he is fairly idoliaed, and it is those
who have known him longest and best that
love him most. 1t speaks well for any one
who has great personal popularity at home
showing, as it does, that his heart is in
the right place, and that it is peopled with
kindly thoughts and sentiments that never
fail to inspire the admiration of tbs world.
Coffecville Times
No better men or truer Democrats could
have been SELECTED to lead our ticket-than
Lowry, OF Rankin, and Shands, of Tate.
Grenda South, II
The party could not put into the field a
stronger ticket; for we find in our leaders I
all of the elements which insure success [
we have in them inextricably blended, in G
all the perfection of their excellence, inteli- ,
gence, manhood, firm adherence to prinei-
pie, responsibility, chiyalry, nerve, pluck
energy-those things which make and con y
sttute, in the true sense of the word. t
