Off the Democratic Track.

EDITORS CLARION: Some of the lead
ing Journalists of our State, protesting
to be Democratic, are exhibiting great
fear that the Democratic party would
be broken up by the people insisting on
corporation supervision, for their pro,
lection from the acts of these creations
of their own, brought into existence for
their benefit but now assuming the mas
tership, and claiming the right to usc

Col Eugsnt on the Fusion Question.
JACKSON. Miss. june 5tb 1893

Jackson, Miss, June 9Th. 1883.
EDITORS GAZETTE: | have no obiec-
ton TO let the public know where |
stand in respect TO the fusion move
ment. Ifthe negroes of our county really
want a mixed ticket | think it Just and
right TO crafty them. If even a fourth
OF their number are SO disposed common
equity and prudence suggest the policy
toreshadowed by the Executive Commit
tee. If, on the contrary. they prefer 10
approach us as Republicans, through
the Republican Executive Committee.
1t occurs to me that we should not hest
tate to meet them and make terms.
The difficulty is to find out what the
colored people desire in the premises.
1t would be unfortunate to move mt all
without some definite information one
way or the other, or to accept the action
OF a small number as representing the
wishes of the entire body of negroes
IN the county, unless assured of the
tact. In Madison county the Executive
Committees of the two parties have
agreed upon fair distribution of
the offices and each party will indi-
cate who are to be the candidates for
the Offices apportioned to it. Possibly
tins policy ought to be pursued here.
We could, at least, have some guarantee
that good faith was ut the bottom of
the Arrangement thus consummatcd.
Once assured, cithcr that the RepGb-
llcans Of the county, or a considerable
number of our colored people, favored
the movement, should not hesitate,
II the negroes were acting with us polit-
lcaIly | should on general principles,
favor their claims TO recognition on our
ticket If they prefer to meet us as Re
with q reasonable demand for
such representation should advise the
same course. We are all interested in
having a good government, and want
tar elections, equal rights and exact
justice to all our people. \ little lcaven
OF common sense in our counties would
free the subject from all difficulty.

Pearl River Navigation.

Aberdeen Examiner.
We learn from the Gulf Coast Ad.
vertiscr that Capt. Poitevcnt has com
mcnccd the building of steamer for
the Pearl river trade that will have
freight capacity for the storage and
transportation of twelve hundred bales
of cotton. Now if Pearl river receives
the attention it merits in future River
and llarbor bills, this steamer and those
already there and the Others that will
be tempted to embark in the trade. will
build up such u competition for freights
between the river and the railroads as
will enable Jackson to ship her cotton
to port ut the lowest figures compatible
With paying running expenses and a
decent profit.

The Hendricks Interview.

Mr.. HENDRICKS RETICENT.

CARD FROM THE MAN WHO WROTE III
Mr.. HENDRICKS RErIcENT.
The editor of the indianapolis Jour.
nal telegraphed to Mr.. Jap Turpen. of
the Wabash Courier, who is the gentle
man with whom Mr.. Hendricks had the
recently published conversation, and he
received the following answer:
"WABAsH, IND, June 4.-The talk
with Mr.. Hendricks occurred on the
afternoon of Saturday. During the in
teryiew not pencil was drawn; neither
was note or memorandum taken. While
we talked | had not thought of writing.
On Sunday evening shaped the subject
into copy for the Wabash Courier. On
Monday ] mentioned to Mr.. James II.
Rice, Auditor Of the State, the burden
of the intelligence had in manuscript.
On Wednesday afternoon / received
dispatch from Mr. Hendricks asking that
the conversation be not published. At
that time the article comprised a part
Of the whole edition Of very valuable
county paper that Lee Linn, the editor,
would not have withheld, though as
sured that to circulate it was to destroy
every presidential boom in the Common
wealth. There was nothing either inn
piled or understood during the inter
view to warn me that the writing Of it
would be a violation Of confidence. If
anything is imputed 20 Mr. Hendricks
unsaid by that gentleman, my memory
is not an inch long. JAP. TrRPES.'
Mr. Hendricks, on hang shown Mr..
Turpens card, simply repeated that he
could not attempt to recall the details
Of a conversation in which he had no
thought of himself and that he had no
idea would be made public.
