The clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1883-1888, 1883-08-29

THE CLARION admits that it has a
CHARACTERISTIC of this District, and it
happens to be the one in whose interest
bargain and intrigue has been charged
the truth ofswhich however, it emphati-
cally denies. We are confident that
THE CLARION can dictate any APPOINT
ment the Governor has at his disposal,
but an active interference in the selec-
ton of Judges in the various districts is
calculated to turn this power into a
source Of great detriment to itself. The
Journal has no personal interest in the
appointment of a Chancellor for this
district, &c.-TuPelo Journal.
TUE CLARION, like the Journal, has
"no personal interest in the appointment
OF Chancellor" for the second or any
other district. and il has no "favorite. I"
The writer having been applied to for
an endorsement of gentleman whose
friendship had been of long standing
and whom he knew to be well qualified,
gave it, and that's all there is of it. We
have no knowledge whether he will be
appointed, or not. If he is We are sure
the District win have a good Chancel
Tor; if he is not, we are also sure it will
be well served, because in the list OF
worthy and competent applicants the
Governor can not go amiss.
ID. In reply to the statement tina
'THE CLARION can dictate any appoint
ment," we beg to say to our contempt
rary, in no offensive sense, and with nc
motive to impute to him intentional mis-
representation, that it is as untrue as il
is preposterous. II would not if i
could; it could not if it would. In som
instances persons it has recommended
for Office have been appointed; il
others, they have not been, but We hay
not made it the occasion to fall out wit
the appointing of power and to impai
public confidence in the administrator
of our choice and the accredited repre-
sentative of the party in whose contiI
ued success the welfare and prosperity Q
our State depend.
