by the by he is eloquent in speech his

To stay the tide of r 4dicalism and bring to
naught the workings of its vicious princi-

We cheerfully fly the Democratic flag.
In politics thorough Wing to the begin
ming of the late war, We find the Democratic
party Of to-day standing on the same plat
form of principles, so far Is old issues have
not become obsolete, on which, for the most
part in defeat, we have stood for a lifetime.
To be consistent in the right we can do no
less than support the ticket of the party
which now demands and proposes all practi-
cable reforms of legislation and adminstra-
ton. We shall give to the gallant Lowry
and the ticket he leads such support as we
can. In the conflict for a choice of leaders
which is common to parties, we have neither
our first choice nor our second But where
that choice was to be made from men all
good and worthy of the office, there is no
occasion to falter from party fealty, when
one has been selected with unanmity, of
whose worth and ability as a leader there
can be reasonable doubt. And we re-
joice ia the fact that complete union of
! Democrats for the sake of the country has
| been secured. From defeat of this ticket
! by any other which could be selected we can
conceive no good to be gained for Mississip-

Instead of giving comments of the press
on the nominations, substitute the splen-
did biography of General Lowry, taken from
the Tupelo Journal Ii the newsnaners
voice the sentiment of the peope-and none
doubt that then General Lowry and the
whole ticket will receive the undoubted and
unstinted support Of the party.

In reading over our list of Democratic
exchanges, which consist of neWaEapers from /
nearly every county in the state, we fnd /
that they give our ticket as enthusiastic /
support as IT every man on it was their first |
choice for the position for which he was
nominated. Only two complained of what
might have been,

General Lowry was an Gid Line Wing
before tbs war, splendid old soldier dur
ing the war and one of the staunehest Dem
oclats eyes ever beheld since the close of hos
Utilities. He is worthy of the best support
of all classes of our people, and we believe
he will get that, if all the signs don't fail. {
