Opinions of the Mis.I..ippi Press

Ininitesimal Jim, the little dominecker of
the Second district. Do you know him.
Exchange.
Heretofore the Democrat-Star has been a
friend and supporter of General Chalmers,
but now that he has deserted his cause and
his people he cannot expect any support
from this quarter. Ta-ta, Bunny.-Dsmocrat-
Star.
When Mississippi becomes Mahonized
through the influence OF Little Jim, there
| will be no use of the people growing over
national aid for the Mississippi leyees.
There will be no river then. Mark the pre-
diction.-Oyord Falcon.
General Chalmers has left the Democratic
| psrty-let US hope Tor the party's good-and
| will, with the aid of Federal patronage, at
tempt to Mahonize the State. That he will
| fail is beyond doubt. He has overestimated
himself, as all small men do, and will only
succeed in making broad burlesque OF what
in ADLER hands might be a serious affair
Exchange.
Little Jim Chalmers's late somersault,
by which he landed himself in the arms OF
Arthur and Bill Chandler, has clearly de-
monstrated the fact that his loyalty to the
Democratic party depended upon the pay
received. When the pay stopped, the 10y
atty vanished, and the man ne longer hides
himself beneath cloak of party principles,
gade to his party, his State and his friends
| Oxford Falcon.
General Chalmers aspires to be the Billy
Malone of Mississippi-he makes war upon
the Democratic party and declares his inten-
| ton TO support Arthur's administration in
all of its politics that do not conflict with
his statement of principles. Mississippi
may be on the eve of a political revolution,
| but we hardly think General Chalmers
would be selected TO lead the people from
darkness to light" in such an emergency
| Walden Nucleus
General James R. Chalmers is an indie
| pendent candidate for Congress in the Sec
| ond district. We thought some time ago
that he would soon be getting out timber TO
build him political house, different in con-
| struction from the one in which he was
| reared, and it seems now that we thought
rightly. At timss we can read as fast a
| politician can write. We are sorry to see
| go gentle Ruth as the general going off
from US and seeking the protection of
| alien Boaz, yet such things will now and
then happen. 1t was ever thus.-Yozoo City
| Herald.
Discussing Chalmers's change of base, the
| Chickasar Messenger says: at will, We i'm
agine, be difficult matter to convince either
his old associates or his new friends that he
served more than FIVE years in Congress as a
1cdutI OcDIOCrdCy, anu never
| found out its faults until he was unceremo-
niouzly bounced by the Radicals and his seat
given TO q 'nigger.' His course would very
plainly indicate that his party fealty is
measured By his tenure Of Office, and such
politician Is not likely TO command the con-
Sdesce and respect of any party. III the
gallant little brlgadier expects to play the
role Of Malone in Mississippi we predict that
be will make a most ignominious failure"
i xunrIH in1aaI INIT bia late
freak OF General Chalmers strikes US as being
particularly amusing. Why he should con-
cluee that the safety OF the republic required
him to be in Congress is funny. The fact
that he carpetbags al the way to this district
in order to measure lances with Colonel Man
ming is one of the passing strange events OF
the day. We predict it will be one of the
hottest campaigns General Chalmers ever
made in his life of heated campaigns, and
we predict further that when Manning gets
through with him, he will be zone of the
worst whipped boxing things ever seen in
North Mississippi.-HoltySp Springs REPORTER.
The detection of General Chalmers can do
no serious damage to the Democratic party
i'm fact such men have been far more det-
rimental than advantageous. Give us rather
the steady flame that emanates from solid
material and continues 10 chine with steady
blaze, instead of the ftful blaze which makes
a few desperate efforts to shine with bril-
liancy, and failing to do this goes out for
ever. Chalmers has gone TO the second dis
trict to run for Congress, where he will re-
ceive a meet reward, viz: defeat. He has
gone to the Republican party, where he will
receive meet reward, viz: recognition when
they need his services, and snubbing when
they don't They will give him a friendly
arm in the battle Of victory, but they will
give him the cold shoulder when dividing the
spoils. The fittest reward that can be given
him by the party he has deserted is to fer
ever let him alone, and thereby hasten the
consignment of his name to the shades of
oblivion.-1dfe County Record.
The generals confidential letters to various
citizens OF this district last summer endeay-
oring to organize the opposition to the Dem
ocratic party, at that time, ia too fresh in the
memory of our people to permit this an
nouncement to cause surprise to any one.
Indeed, his personal friends, since then, have
we'll understood that future grazing in DEM
ocratic pastures was not sufficiently promis-
ing to hold him, and the only question with
them was, as to the time and manner of his
leave-taking, and his salutatery to his old
enemies on joining their camp. We never
doubted that his genius would be adequate
to the emergency, when the occasion pre-
sented itself, but appreciating the difficulties
attending the undertaking, our curiosity was
on tip.toe to witness the performance of a
der. Taking the production as a whole, we
honestly think that it may be fairly said that
the task has been creditably performed. His
salutatory, undoubtedly, will come fully up
to the expectations Of his most sanguine
friends. If in golden slippers" he certainly
could not have approached President Arthur
more handsomely, and his allusion to Omitted
States supervisors, a full vote, free ballot
and fair count" has a flavor OF delicacy
about it that simply renders it superb. This
could not, in our opinion, be improved upon.
