The Mississippi Malone and His Party.
New York Times (Rep.): "The bulk of
the Independent party OF Mississippi seems
10 lie in the person of James &. Chalmers,
who has undertaken TO maintain, by riding
on the backs of The disaffscted, the political
position which he originally gained, as a
Democrat, by the most bare-faced frauds.
While Mississippi Democrats and Rspubli-
cans are making peaceful agreements for a
division of State and local Offices, the out
look for this assembly of noudescripts does
not seem promising, but no independent
movement that is handicapped by Chalmers
can hope for success. One plank OF the
platform adopted b. the Chalmers party is
Endorsement Of Arthur's Southern policy
The persons who met at Jackson ought 10
have shown what that policy ia. Beyond
the support of Mahoue in Virginia and
the selection of Evans IN Ken.uck the
President's Southern policy has not been
very clearly defined. In Mississippi, how
ever, it has bes n exhibited in the support of
Chalmers by Secretary Chandler and the
money collected by Hubbell's bureau, and it
was to be expected that Chalmerp, in franz
ing platform, would indorse a policy that
had giving him aid and comfort SO substan-
tial."
THE SUBLIMITY OF IMPIJDENcE

sisIppi Malone, is trying to win Northern
sympathy for his political movement by an
nouncing himself as the apostle of "a free
ballot and fair count This is the very
sublimity OF impotence, snd it is evident
that ChalmerF, who is almost as sm all as Ma
hone, can outmatch him in a show uf brass.
II there has been in any part of the South
justification for the charge that "a free ballot
and fair count was denied, it has been in
the district this same Chalmers repres .nted
in Congress and through the peculiar poli,i-
cal methods he pursued. Chalmers was pat
out OF the last Congress by the Republi-

of these Republicans that he had re-

count, not only in his behalf, tut through
his active personsl instrumentality. This
man, who made the celebrated 'shoestring'
district, with lis assumed negro msjority of
10000 votes, an assured Democratic strong
hold, is the man who now appeals 10 North
ern Republicans for sympathy aud help in
his fight for "a free ballot and fair count
Again and again has he maintained that the
only weapon used by Mississippi Democrats
to overcome negro msjorities was the supe-

that he baa jlined the Republican party he
cheerfully befous himself, AMI professes to

which he is more responsible than any other
man. Let his new-found friends test the sin-
ceri'y OF his present acts by his past record. u
