We to. day announce the name of
Hon. Chas. f. Hooker as candi
date for Congress from this district.
Col. Hooker is no stranger to our
readers. He represented this dis
trict in Congress from 1915 to 1888,
and by his matchless oratory arrest
ed the attention of the North and
won reputation Of national ccle-
brity. On account Of his great
power in this respect, he has been
frequently called upon to stump
Northern States during heated 20,
lilical campaigns where he did yeo
man service for his party both be-
fore and since his retirement from
Congress. In all of his public acts
and uttcrances, Col. Hooker, without
compromising his Democracy or his
section, has done much to allay the
asperillcs caused by sectional strife.
The 100000 public building
at Jackson, and the opening up
TO navigation of the Pearl and Pas
cagoula rivers are the immediate re-
suits of his efforts in behalf Of the
people of his district In view OF
these things he confidently trusts to
his old constituents for a renewal OF
their support.

State. Of all the lame and trans

coming from man Of Gen. Adams >
reputed intelligence, this takes the
blue ribbon. And Gov. Lowry's in
terview since with reporter of the
Vicksburg Commercial Herald only
makes it more fimsy than ever. AT
