Gov. j. M. stone.
Brookhaven Ledger.


When we consider the history of Mis-
sissippi for the last ten or fifteen years
all wonder at the popularity of Gov.
Stone vanishes. He was called to his
high Office at a critical period in the
history of the State. The displace-
ment of Ames had aroused the Repub-
lican party of the United States to u
seemingly high pitch of Indignation.
Ames was the pet of their administra-
ton of the Federal Government, and
the disorders engendered by the abuses
of his rule had come to be so great that
the interference of the Federal Gov
eminent was apprehended. Nobody
wanted the office of Governor then.
1t was known that the public reve-
nue. was insufficient to support the
State Government. That the expenses
were paid by funding the warrants in
Understanding bonds and these could
not last long, and yet the people loud
ly demanded reduction Of the taxes.
Immense areas of land had been an
nually forfeited to the State thus Grip
ling its finances, and altogether no
man could promise himself success,
certainly not immediate popularity, in
the administration of the affairs of
Mississippi when Gov. Stone was first
elected.
Nevertheless the taxes were reduc-
ed the expenses of the State Govern
ment has been paid from the income
the State has been restored to tram
guilty, and was never on better
basis financially or politically. That
the Governor has been wisely second
ed by the other officers of the State
associated with him and by
the Legislature, is certainly true. But
ii is equally true that progress would
have been impossible had the State
not been favored with a wise and sa-
gacious Governor.
1t is said that Cornell, of New York
belongs to Conkling, and the Cover
nor of Maine is the creature of Blaine,
but nobody suspects the present Gov
ernor Of Mississippi Of belonging to
any man or set Of men. He Is ac-
to be independent of
cliques and rings, and to he a man
who thinks for himself and follows his
even into the very jaws of
This much may be
said of Gov. Stone without
to the many eminent
and distinguished citizens who have
been named for the place he 80 credit
ably to himself, and with so much sat
to the people, filled for the
last six years.

Capt. Frank Johnston for the Legis.
lature.

To the Editor Of the Comet:
AS the time is fast approaching for
holding our County Convention, /
think it proper that we should look
around for the purpose of selecting
some one who will consent to serve us
in the councils Of our State.
One representative is always con-
coded to Jackson, and know Of no
one who could "fll the bill" more
satisfactorily than our gallant friend
Capt. Frank Johnston.
He is In every way qualified to
serve his county and | think the peo-
pie with whom he has been reared,
and the good old county of Kinds
within whose sacred precincts he first
saw the light, has right to call for
his services at this time.
know that it will be a sacrifice on
his part, but the people with whom 1
have conversed on the subject, think
he ought to consent to come to the
front on this occasion. Will he do it ?
