The administration of one of TIL,
purest, best and wisest governors
Mississippi has eyer had Is drawing Il
close. In the discharge OF the re-
sponsible and delicate trust which the
people had committed TO his keeping
for the past six years, Governor Stone
has built for himself name for In
tegrity, firmness and fidelity to the
peoples interests that will forever be
illustrious In the annals of the State
He assumed the Chief Maglstracy OF
the State at q very critical time. The
party, whose standard bearer he was,
had made great promises to the peo-
pie, almost disheartened by the cor
rupt and ignorant rule Of the Ames
administration. Gov. Stones admin
istration was subjected 10 an extraor-
binary test was put severely on trial.
The result Is we'll known TO every cit
lien Of the State. Order, peace and
aulet were established where formerly
chaos, riots and bloodshed had reign
ed supreme. Every promise OF bis
party has been met, and more. An
era Of prosperity has been inaugurated
In this State, which surpasses the
dreams Of the most sapguine. Rail-
roads are being built 10 link our State
with the great commercial centers
and capital from abroad is daily seek
Ing investment In our rich but un-
improved lands. To this happy result
no one has contributed so much as the
firm aud true helmsman who will
,oon take his official leave, temporarily
we hope, and believe, for the people
will surely have other need for man
who, tried In many relations, has In
very one proven himself worthy OF
he trust committed TO his keeping.
Than him Mississippi has no truer
on, and the best wishes Of host Of
ldmirers throughout the State will
ollow him to private life.

Mr.. Arthur, pursuing o different and
II has constantly helped to maintain
solid Democratic South. Mr., Arthur,
pursuing a different and wiser policy,
showed the Independents that they
were recognized by him US valuable
political force, and obliged the Repub-
licans, much against their will. to Join
hands with the independents, and ths
result is political change in Virginia
which We have not the least doubt
Will be Of vast and lasting benefit to
the whole State. He has only to fol-
low the same course In other Southern
States to see similar and equally ne
cessary and benefcent results come
about there.
Take South Carolina, for instance.
The penalty fol- leaving or attempting
TO leave the Democratic party in that
state has been as savagely enforced as
for while it was in Virginia. Yet
all who know anything OF South Caro-
lima politics know that the "solidity"
Of the white party there has brought
about monstrous abuses, as 1t was
Gel tain to do. In some counties of the
state Democratic ring and Repub-
lican ring habituaily join hands, elect
whom they please, and of course their
corruptest creatures, and make the
election q mere farce. Honorable
Democrats are absolutely helpless; the
least attempt to resist or expose cor
ruption 10 howled down as an attempt
to "break the party" and the Repub-
lican leaders, themselves for the most
part corrupt and debased, play into
the hands of the Democratic extrem.
lists by refusing support to the indie
pendants and influencing the negroes
to vote the straight ticket" When
the Republican leaders have thus got |
their party beaten they rush up to |
Washington and claim the Federal
ofiices-and hitherto they have got |
them. Let Mr., Arthur se)ect honest,
capable and influential independents
for the Chief Federal offices In South |
Carolina, and he will break the in
Iquitous combination OF Democrats
and Republican Bourbons, and
party will arise within the State COM
posed, so far as its leaders are concern
I'd, of honorable and influential men,
who will not tolerate the bullying Of
Bourbon Democrats and will secure
needed reforms in the local govern
nents and free and intelligent dis
'ussion of public questions, which Is
Necessary to free and intelligent
vote. With proper and entirely legit-
mate management at Washington
he "solid South" can be ground to
pieces by next fall aud a normal po-
itical situation established there and
hat is all that ia needed to give the
Southern States a proper impetus to-
ward great and lasting prosperity.
