Randall Did It.

1t is generally conceded by just
minded men that Mr.. Randall is the
wisest and the strongest man in the
Democratic party. Had he not
killed the Morrison bill it would
have made little difference who was
nominated at Chicago, for every
Northern State would have been lost,
hopelessly, to the Democrats. He
it was who shaped the tariff plank
Of the party platform. The opposi-
tion TO him comes from stubborn,
unyielding men, who have fixed
notions, who see nothing, forget
nothing and learn nothing. Mr..
Randall himself has no special de-
sire for q Cabinet position. He
prefers the House, and, as he is en-
titled to the Speakership, he will
doubtless be elected to it in the 49th
Congress, unless prejudice and
blindness prevail against the true
interests Of the party.-Wheestng

Hon. r. II. Thompson for Attor-
ney-General.

The many friends and acquaint
ances OF the Hon. R. III. Thompson,
OF Brookhaven, will learn with
pleasure that he has agreed to allow
his name to go before the next
Democratic State Convention for the
office Of Attorney General. To those
who know the man, endorsement
from any source is wholly unne-
cessary. In 1875 be was elected
to the State Senate and made q re-
cord for efficiency and ability Sc
cond to no man in the State. He is
a scholarly, accomplished gentleman,
exemplary and unexceptionable In
all the relations Of his character and
private life, o profound and brilliant
lawyer and withal entirely qualified
for the position to which he aspires.
The Attornel Generals office could
not be filed by a better or more
worthy man.-State Ledger.
The LEADER takes pleasure in
confirming every statement made in
the above by The Ledger. The
next Democratic State Convention
will honor itself by honoring r. II.
Thompson with the nomination for
the position he seeks, and for which
lie is so prominently qualified.

Ex-Gov. Alcorn it is said voted
an open ticket for Cleveland, Hen
bricks and Catchings. Had he &C
cepted the candidacy rendered him,
he would have been elected by the
Democrats and Republicans to Con-
gress instead of Catchings, but be
could not be induced to do so.
Catchings ran as q venture and tri-
umphed gloriously. From the time
the negroes began to hold their
meetings and form Blaine, Logan
and Catchings clubs, we watched
the canvass with grest interest,
That did the work. That ticket
was voted by large number, and
Catchings came out far ahead OF
Cleveland, and Pearce. the Republi-
can nominee, was left a long way be
hind Blaine. Webster and his fol.
lowers showed themselves true
patriots.-Cortnth Herald.
The Brookhaven leader., 1884-12-04

We cordially endorse the follow
ing from the State Ledger: "There
has been a good deal of talk about
keeping the Worlds Exposition
open on Sunday. If the managers
attempt such outrageous thing the
people of the whole country should
hold public meetings and denounc-
them. The government would never
have made its magnificent loan of
one million dollars or donation of
three hundred thousand, il the
idea of keeping the Exposition
open Sundays had been suggested"
The Brookhaven leader., 1884-12-04

Speaking of the new appointment
for Attorney General the Utica
Comet says: "Nr. Ford will
probably fill the position very credi-
tably, but we believe that had the
Governor selected Hon. r. H.
Thompson, of Brookhaven, or Mar
shall Miller, of Vicksbufg, it would
have given more general satisfac-
tion." We do not think any one
should be specially dissatisfied with
the Governor for the appointment OF
Mr.. Ford, who will doubtless make
an efficient officer; but when the
people come to make a choice, we
hope and shall labor TO have the
honor bestowed upon our worthy
tOwnsman.

worried because we published the
headlines Of its editorial announc-

Hendricks and the statement Of the
causes. Seeing that the LEADER
has it's hands full nearer home we
will not publish what the Summit
Sentinel and Brandon Republican
said about it.-CldriOn.
No, not at all worried" How
ever, you let up at good time, as
two other instances dating further
back, in which the Clarion was
decidedly "too previous" have been
recalled by us, but to which we will
now, on account of its considerable
spirit, spare it the IVORY of allud-
ing. AS to what the Brandon Re
publican says, it is very seldom THE
LEADER considers anything from
that well nigh obsolete journal worth
noticing. Now and then it hits the
nail on the head, but not often.
Generally speaking, its condemna-
tion is more to be desired than
great riches. And as for what dear
brother Bonney said, if you had
published his ambiguous, ramb-
ling effusion, nobody would ever
have understood it unless he had
also been furnished an interpreter.

The Atlanta Constitution sug
gests that as Gov. Cleveland will
probably resign the governorship
about the first of January, he will
have no public duties to perform for
nearly two months, and proposes to
him to use the time in making a
trip through the South, visiting the
New Orleans exposition whilst wait
ing for the Inauguration on the 4th
of March. Acting on this or a
similar suggestion, the Managers
Of the Worlds Exposition have ex-
tended an invitation to the President
elect, to which it is earnestly hoped
he will respond.

The following dispatch from
Washington will prove interesting
to Col. Moneys friends in this
State: Congressman H. d. Money,
of Mississippi, will have the backing
of the Solid South, besides Justice
Field and some Of the California
Democracy, for the Postmaster
Generalship. Judge Gresham is
quoted as having said, last winter,
that there wasn't another man in
the United States who was 80 well
informed regarding the postal
service, Its law and it's needs. The
Mexican Government offered him
$4,000 for a compilation of onr
postal laws. He is in middle life, is
not rebel brigadier, and is a civil
service reformer.

Maj. j. F. Sessions, of Brookhaven,

slightest appreciation of the sacri-
fee made by brave and unfortunate
men who took part in the bloody
struggle between the States
In this connection it will not be
out of place to commend the eX-

people should instruct their next

Mr.. Biains's CAN.

On the first page of to.day's pa
per we lay before ous readers the
post-election speech of Mr.. Blaine,
delivered before personal and politi-
cal friends at his home 10 Augusta,
after the result Of the date unpleas
antness" was folly known, and
which, since its delivery, has been
the subject of such universal dis
cussion and criticism. The speech
Is noted chiefly for its bitter section
alism and unwarranted attack upon
the South; its false assumption in
regard to the negroes; its sharp
contrast with Mr.. Blaine's words on
the same subject in his letter Of &C.
ceptance; and, withal, as being the
most coucrete, forcible and eloquent
presentation Of the sectional ques-
ton from a Northern Republican
standpoint that has ever been
made.
BY way of noting Mr.. Blaine's alb
solute inconsistency and insincerity
in dealing with the South, let the
reader note the following from his
July letter of acceptance, and com
pare it with the language used at
Augusta:
II recognize, not without regret,
the necessity for speaking of two
sections of our common country.
But the regret diminishes when l
see that the elements which separa-
ted them are fast disappearing
Prcjudices have yielded and are
yielding, while a growing cordially
warns the Southern and Northern
hearts alike. Can any one doubt
that between the sections confidence
and esteem are to-day more marked
than at any period in the sixty
years preceding the election of Pres
idcnt Lincoln?
"This, the result in part Of time,
and in part of Republican princi.
pies, applied under the favorable
conditions of uniformity. 1t would
be great calamity to change these
influences under which Southern
commonwealth are learning to vim
dictate civil rights, and adapting
themselves to the conditions of pc.
litical tranquility and industrial
progress.
IF there be occasional and vio-
lent outbreaks in the South against
this peaceful progress, the public
opinion of the country regards
them as exceptional, and hopefully
expects that each will be the last"
The South really needed not the
Augusta TRADE TO convince her that
this was the sheerest "taffy" to cap
ture Southern votes, for, no sooner
had West Virginia maintained her
Democratic mornings in the October
election, than Mr.. Blaine opened up
his sectional batteries, and began a
systematic waving of the bloody
shirt. But his mistake after going
into the sectional business was, in
not getting this, the heaviest by far
of all Of his sectional shots, off be-
fore the election. There was beyond
doubt much of sectional prejudice in
the North to be aroused, and this
speech might then have been worth
several thousand votes where he
needed them most. AS it is, it comes
with the worst OF bad grace, and will
be remembered against him by the
best people OF the North as we'll as
the South for all time. 1t is an ex-
bibition of gall that furnishes the
South especially with additional
reason for thanking high Heaven
that Grover Cleveland and not Jas.
Blaine was chosen to preside over
the destinies of our common country
for the next four years.
