]. L. Meade was chairman OF the mass
meeting held by citizens Of Copiah county.
Mississippi, which declared that J. P.
Matthews and his'family should be kept
out Of politics. Matthews was reputa-
BILE citizen aud Republican. but because
be insisted on his right to the exercise oil
his political privileges he was assassinated
At the polls on election day by man
especially designated for that purpose by
the Democratic county committee. the
murderer being one Wheeler, who had
been on terms Of close intimacy with
Matthews and frequently shared his gen.
erous hospitality. A brother Of Matthews
was postmaster at Hazlehurst, but he has
just been removed TO give place to Meade
who presided over the meeting that insti-
gated the assassination. The appoint
ment 10 said TO have been made at the re-
quest Of Congressman Barksdale Of the
Copiah district, notorious leader OF the
shot gun Democracy. The only fault
found with the appointment in Mississip-
pi is that the salary, sl,l00, is too small
for man who has done bis party such
service as Mr.. Meade. But
The administration probably will even
things up by reserving much better
place for Wheeler, the actual perpstiator
Of the crime to which Meade was only
accessory.
