Washington Post: "What do you
think of this AFFAIR."" said Post reports
er to the Hon. Mark Daggett, who has
just been resolved into an member
from Nevada, as he sat watching the
Senatorial circus yesterday morning.
81 think" replied Mark Twain's old
partner in criminal witticisms, "that
whenever Democrats and Republicans
find themselves neck and neck the
Democrats are bound to be beat"
"Why?'
"Well, it's the nature of things. If
the two parties were playing old sledge,
and the Democrats held high and the
Republicans low the Republicans
would play for game, and win it nine
times out of ten"
"And what if the Democrats hold the
Jack?"
"We'd catch him three times out of
four, as we did last Monday" replied
the Nevada man. as he rolled his wag-
glsh eyes over in the direction of Sena-
tor Malone seat.

Like all other uuarrels, after q fe,

Like all other quarrels, after few
words have passed on each side, it
is hard to tell who is most to blame,
the respective friends of Lamar and
Barksdale are drifting into and I'M
pleasantness, and no one can tell
who is responsible for it. But Las
mar is not candidate for Governor,
and if Barksdale is q candidate for
Senator his friends should let this
fight rest until the proper occasion
to introduce it, It throws things
into an awkward attitude to have
the election of q Governor in 1881
complicated with the election for
Senator in 1882. And if our judge
ment is worth anything, the preju-
dice against Lamar will provo the
poorest capital to go into a canvass
on, of anything that could be
thought of.-CorinM Herald.
The Aberdeen examiner. [volume] (Aberdeen, Miss.) 1866-current, 1881-04-21

The MESSENGER has exercised its
privilege to rap Senator Lamar over
the knuckles because Of his vote on
the silver bill and his support OF the
Grant pension scheme, but it has
never lost its admiration nor buried
it's friendship for the man. Somehow
or other, our great Senator will do
things which scarcely any of his con-
stituents can approve, but whom the
supreme moment arrives, and it be-
comes necessary to defend his people
against the calumnious aspersions
of the Northern political fanatic, La
mar is always equal to the emergen-
cy, and one of his efforts on such
occasions is sufficient to cast a vail
over all his faults and foibles, to in
spire the enthusiasm Of his friends,
and to exact the unwilling admission
from bis enemies, that he is not only
the greatest of Aississippians, but
the ablest, grandest and purest Of
Southern statesmen. OkSIon0 Mes
