GEN. 4, G. WALTHALL.

T, another column will be found the

e his name from the next Gubernato-
lnS ~ contest in Mississippi. The reasons
which u, he gives for declining to become
candidate or to consent to the use OF his
v Usme furnish the strongest reasons why
pa pa should be nominated. Gen. Wal,
.uholI,s ~ I nopularity is confined to no par
.Onlar section OF the State. There seemed
IN be general demonstration in his
%vor from the Tennessee river to the
,r m1f and had he entered the canvass and
SSrganized his friends he could, no doubt,
have secured the nomination. But his
love of his party is stronger than his
ambition, and he sinks his individual as
n;rations because of an "unvillingness to
contend with members Of his own party"
md he offers his letter of declination 81 a
contribution to party unity Without
which there is no assurance of permanent
Democratic success" These patriotic
words should be hailed by the Democ-
racy of Mississippi as q sigual light,
pointing the way to future unity and
harmony. Gen. E. G. Walthall is one of
the South's most cherished sons. He gave
to his section and his people his young
life as gallant soldier and his mature
Years to restoring a national brotherhood
and building up the desolate South: In
the great struggle for Mississippi's re.
demption ten years ago, Gen. Walthall
was in the thickest Of the battle-bore
the burden of the contest. No man did
more upon the stump to arouse the peo-
pie, and he has been fully compensated
for his labors, for the credit of the State
has been restored, educational facilities
increased F.; there is harmony between
the races, a just and impartial admins
tration of the law, and there has been a
rapid expansion Of industrial pursuits
and steady development of national
resources. Such men As Gen. Walthall
are needed in the public service, whether
State or national, and still in the nerid-
ian OF life, pure in character, ecnspicuous
for his great abilities and : popularity
that is national, he cannot always enjoy
his selt-imposed retiracy.-Aemphis Ap-

The declaration will surprise no one

Gen, Walthall, The friends Of other can

without his consent. The statement has
often been made before that he was not

most jealous friends have nevre been able
authoritatively to deny it.
The past course Of Gen. NWalthall fully
warranted this opinion, for he has nevel
been an applicant for any position. II

of his friends and admirers to put him
in high political positions,
His antipathy to the scrambles fol
