There are about fourteen avowed
and prospective candidates for each

ite positions. For the first named
of these offices, we hear the names

Evans, of Harrison, Geo. A. Govan.
OF Pike, d p. Porter, OF Kinds, and
F. c. McGee, of Clarke, most fire.

Capt. Jas. kincanon. OF Lee, r c.
Patty, Of Noxuhee, Col. w. ID. Hol.
der, of Lafayette, Capt. E l.. Sykes.
of Monroe, and Mr.. II. ii. Hines, OF
Jackson, are among the most promi-
nent aspirants. 1t is said 1.-The car

canvass Whether the adage will

Gov. Lowry is our first choice, be-
cause We krsw him 10 he good and
true man in every sense f tho term,
and because VIC believe he is entitled
To u reelection. in accordance with
Democratic usage. We have known
him for thirty years. We have
known him in private rs we'll as
public life. We have known him ir
prosperity and adversely. We have
known him in peace and in war,
We have known him as a mcrchant,
as n lawyer, as q soldier, as a neigh
Dor, as a husband and father, as a
member of The Legislature, and as
Governor, and VIC never knew him
TO be guilty Of an act becoming
a christian gentleman. He has al
ways been recognized as a gentle.
man Of diguificd, courteous and AHA.
bic manners, uufinching courage,
strict integrity and great personal
magnetism.
We are for Lowry because we
honestly and conscientiously believe
he has made one Of the very best
Governors we have ever had-be.
cause he has proven himself honest,
capable and faithful to the constitu-
tion, and because he has given us a
judiciary equal to that OF any State
in the Union. .--Brandon Repu6li-
cda.

n. Fl. Hines.

The gentleman whose name heads
this notice, is a candidate for the OF.
flee of Auditor of Public Accounts,
and from the many favorable notices
we have seen of his candidacy. We
are led to believe that he is the
choice of the press of the State for
said Office. Mr.. Hines was for sew
eral years prior to his removal to
jackson, a citizen of our county and
among our people has a host of
friends. A democrat of unimpeach
able moral character, modest and
retiring in disposition, courteous
and polite to everyone in business
transactions-in bim are united all
the qualifications requisite to the
proper discharge of the duties of the
office to which he aspires. Having
for number of years, occupied the
very important and responsible
position of individual bookkeeper in
the Auditors office, we venture the
assertion than he is more familiar
with the various duties pertaining to
the office that anyone who is, or may
be an opposing candidate. This we
say intending no disparagement to
others. Brandon Democrat.

The New York Sun thus consid-
erately states an interesting case !:
Mr.. Blaine is only filty-four years
old. Nlen who were voters before
he was born are still both active
and powerful in shaping public af-
'airs. If his health lasts. and Mr..
Blaine's vital powers appear to be
uncommonly elastic-he ought to he
good for about quarter Of a
century more of lively work. His
defeat in the convention Of 1876 did
not blast his hopes. His defeat at
Chicago four years later did not
paralyze him. We are very much
mistaken in our estimate of Brother
Blaine's endurance If we find now
that anything has been crushed OF
wrecked in him except his hopes oil
being inaugurated president of the
United States on March 4, of this
year, and possibly his faith in tho
political value of the Rev. DR.. Bur

Which is only another wey of say

correct, too. There is no more un

to the principles of any political
