The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1884-01-30

THE Yazoo City Herald, and other
staunch Democratic journals have very
well remarked that Democratic Legis
lature cannot afford to dsfranchsc m
entire community because a majority OF
it's voters and taxpayers see proper to
eject to the Office Of Mayor a man who
happens to be a Republican Should
such an unfortunate mistake be made
that will be its political significance
not only in this State, but in every
State campaign until the next Presi-
dental election, 1t ought not to be
done. We cannot afford 1t.

ONE OF the earnest advocates fol
the repeal of the charter of tho city
of Jackson, suggested before the Judici
AIRY Committee that inasmuch as Jack
sen is the official residence OF the State
officers, the Legislature should guarau
tee to them healthy, moral atmosphere
in which to dwell. Well, those gentle
men usually bring their good morals
with them, and help to give to ouI
society the elevated tone for which il
has been Hoted, but IL any of them
should happen to fall into divers temp
tations, the indiscrction should be
charged to the weakness of human ma
tnre, rather than to the fact that John
MeGill is Mayor of the city.

THE mayor of the city of Jackson hap
pens to be a Republican, but he hasnever
he a candidate for the Office as such.
His opponents have usually been Demo,
Gratis, but have not been candidates as
such. The publishers of TIE CLARION
have Away. voted for Democrats, other
things be ng equal, and have uniformly
so done in the city elections. Mr.. Clingan
was our political and personal choice,
but Mr.. HcGill having been fairly and
squrely elected, we are utterly opposed
to legislating him out of office This is
a matter that should be left exclusively
to the voters and tax payers interested,

Fair Play.

The Legislature will not be silly
enough to give favorable response to
the petition OF those who ask the repeal
of the charter of the city of Jaskson,
without submitting the question to a
vote Of the community Immediately
concerned. II the PEG | of Jackson,
are anxious to res On their charter they
should be given fair opportunity to
demonstrate that anxiety at the polls.
70 the people of other communities the
choice of Jackson in this regard is a
matter Of indifference, but they are
deeply concerned in seeing that fair
play is given her, and that the Legisla-
ture does not abridge her rights against
her protest.

tbs supplemental report of Mr.. Isy-
dore Strauss, Treasurer Of the city Of
jackson, for the fourth quarter Of the
year 1883, concluded with this state
ment:
Total balance on hand in all funds this
day, $3,47S.6S. In submitting this, my
report as Treasurer, for the last quarter OF
the year 1888, and secompyiug it with all
vouchers to show my Disbursements in this
quarter, have also the qualification u in
forming this Honorable Board that the
city of jackson has liquidated all Of her
funded debt as well as all amounts bor-
rowed from bank"
From which it would appear that
there is at least no financial necessity
for so amending" the city charter as to
disfranchise one thousand or more vo-
ters.

COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 1.-THE citi-
zens of Nelsonville are greatly ex-
cited tonight over the attempt OF
some unknown persons to blow up
the house of Richard Barnecut and
kill his family, between 9 and 10
o'clock. The house is located on
the hillside at the edge of the town.
and the intention seems to have
been to roll the dynamite or explo-
sive against the house and turn it
over and down the hill, but by the
manner in which it was rolled it
missed Its aim and lodged under the
porch below. where the explosion
occurred and tore the porch nearly
to shreds. The house otherwise
was not injured, and Barnecut and
wife, with five children, escaped.
The explosion was heard all over
that part of the country. and soon
several hundred persons had gather
ed at the scene of intended destruc-
ton. No miner could be found
ON the streets Immediately after. the
explosion occurred, and this is tax
en- as an indication that some of the
riotous element among the strikers
did the work.
