OF these three gentlemen we had no
particular preference, knowing that they
were all true Democrats and competent
to represent the district. In accordance
with our principles, we shall heartily
support the nominee and use all honora-
Bile means in our power to aid in electing
him. Believing the Hon. F. G. Barry

When its choice fell upon the Hon. F.
G. Barry, it descended upon one of the
most eloquent speakers in the State a
man who has never failed to hearken to
the voice of his party at every call and
of whom it may be said that he has stood
by his partyln six troubles and never de-
serted it in the seventh-that he has been
called to fight five hundred battles for it
and not one against it. He is magnetic
in his manners, eloquent Of speech, and
wherever best known he is the most popt
ular. He received the nomination a.
the hands of one of the most enthusiasts
tic, intelligent conventions ever held in
the State. lie is now in his 3Stb year,
Nashville being his native city. He is a
lawyer of distinguished acumen,

Mr.. Barry is a gentleman who is well
known as the author of the "Barry bill, "
which was the bill providing for the SUI
pervision OF railroads by a commission,
which Gov. Stone withheld his approval
several years ago. The zeal and vigor
with which he Supported that bill mark
Mr.. Barry as a man eminently qualified
for Legislative work. He is, besides, a
lawyer of fine abiliay, and fluent and
ready political debator. He is devoted
to his friends, and they to him. This
was noticeable in the interest and i'm
patience with which his friends at the
Capital waited for the news Of his nom-
ination. Mr.. Barry will make an active
canvass of his district in the interest OF
the Democratic party, and when elected,
as he undoubtedly will be, he will ably
aid in maintaining the reputation which
Mississippi has earned OF having the best
delegations in Congress. We had almost
forgot tomention that Mr.. Barry became
Confederate soldier when he was fifteen
years of age, ard served terough the war
