While this is the largest registration
ever shown in the county, it is also .
well-known fact that q very large per
centage of persons entitled to register
have not done so, owing to their indiffer-

ON this subject we need only refer to the
official return of the vote cast on Novem-
Der 4th. Out of the above total of 2,S44,
only 1887 persons awaited themselves of
their right to vote-s little over half. In
1888 the registered vote was something
over 1900 and the highest candidate on
the list received 2e15 votes.

commend that the people of the
State cease from accustomed labor,

Gov. Lowry has appointed Hon.
T. S. Ford, OF Marion county, to
succeed Attorney General Catch
ings whose resignation goes into eff
feet February 10th, thereby knock
ing into 'pi" an editorial which we
had written, suggesting another
most worthy gentleman of South
Mississippi, of whom no com.nenda-
ton could be too high. AS the
appointment is such a good one, we
will have to forgive the Governor
this time for not consulting us, but
hope he will not be so rash any more.

A Little Too Previous.

In its issue of the 9Th inst, Thurs.
day, the BRooKHAvES LEADER heads
its news column with a sick bird
aud the following: Defeat mingled
with a few crumbs of comfort. Too
much solid South, too much personal
Islander, too much BEEcHER; and.
above all too much low tariff talk,
slsughters CLEVELAND and elects
BLAINE /" Aud the LEADER adds,
I'VE are not surprised at the re-
suit" Go slow, young man, go
slow !-Cldrion.
Ii The LEADER had held It's issue
back until 3 days after its regular
publication day, as the Clarion did,
| it would have come about as near
giving the correct result as did that
wary journal; but when people
subscribe for paper to be publish
cd on a certain day OF the week,
they look for 10 on that day and do
not expect it to tell with unerring
certainty what it requires days
longer to determine beyond doubt.
"We were not surprised at the re-
suit" first announced because Of the
great prominence which had been
given the "Solid South by Mr..
Blaine and other Northern speakers
with view to exciting sectional
prejudice; the bitter attacks on the
private character of the Republican
candidate by the Indianapolis
Sentinel and many papers like it
which in many quarters excited
sympathy for him; the general
unsavory character OF Mr.. Bcecher;
and finally land above all' on ac
count of the false attitude the Demo
crscy had been placed in on the
tariff question by the noisy
advocates Cf the Morrison bill--a
measure, by the way, Mr.. Cleveland
himself felt called upon during the
canvass to deny over his own signa-
ture any connection with;-and
though our opinion was not fully
vindicated as to the part played by
these factors in the campaign, and
we are glad of 1.-THE sequel proves
that we Only missed it few hun
dred votes out of nearly as many
millions.
But the Clarion, generally slow,
very slow, We grant, has itself been
"a little too previous at least
twice during its plodding exs.
encp. In 1875 and the early
part Of IT, it was wont to
tell its readers again and again that
Mr.. Tlden had been elected-dnd
could be inaugura!ed too but he
never was, and in consequence our
Democratic millennium has been
delayed just eight years. Since
then it has expatiated in season and
out Of season on the beauties and
benefits of Railroad Supervision ;
but alas our railroad com mission
ers are tied up hand and foot in
litigation, and the dear people
pay their expenses besides stlll en-
during all the ills formerly com
planned of.
With these exceptions, however,
il anybody has ever known our biz
brother to be ''previous" in express
ing an opinion on any subject Of
great public moment, let him stand
and be counted.
