Unfair Methods.

We do not blame Col. Hooker's friends
for feeling most keenly how shallow IS
his vietery in Kinds county since,
though be will get the vote of the coun-
ty in the District Convention, his
neighbors have pronounced against him
and in favor of his competitor. But the
attempt to rob Maj. Barksdale Of the
moral effect of his triumph in Jackson,
the home of both the candidates, by the
circulation Of untrue statements in
reference to the vote, is objectionable.
An unsigned circular, issued here for
circulation in Jefferson, Lincoln and
Franklin counties, declares that fully
thirty five Republican voters were
mrrched up in the South Ward Of Jack
son alone. and voted for Barksdale.'
We deny that there were thirty five or
the half of thirty FIVE Republican voters
in the meeting. Up to this time we
have been unable to get the names of
more than two Republicans who took
part in the meeting. One OF these voted
for Hooker ard the other for Barksdale
There was ne resolution authorizing
Republicans to vote. A supporter of
Barksdale proposed a pledge to be taken
| by all who desired to vote, binding
them 20 support the nominee and de-
claring that it was their intention to aft
~, Il
party Hooker's friends did not oppose
the pledge or offer to amend it so that
none but well-known Democrats shorld
he allowed to vote. Some of Barksdale's
friends, however, opposed the pledgt
violently, and insisted that the meeting
should be confined to Democrats. II
was adopted without division; and the
author of it lells us that he believes
Hooker's leaders favored it, until they
found that they were beaten.
Another statement in the cir
cular is that Colonel Hamilton
with his Penitentiary gang, marched
up to the North Ward in solid phalanx.
and carried that Ward for Barksdale.' .
This is untrue. Six only of Col. Ham
ilton's employees voted in the North
Ward meeting, viz: Gen. viii Henry
and Messrs. Langley, Bankston, Powers
Hardy and Seay. These are all good
Democrats. 1t is said that some of them
voted for Hooker. 1t is MINISTERIAL how
they voted since Barksdale had major
ity of sixteen in the Ward.
1t is further stated that pearl School
House and Liberty Grove precincts were
carried for Barks1a by the same meth
DDS" We do not believe that single
voter in the Liberty Grove precinct
would make such statement. The fact
is, there were twenty-nine time tried and
true blue Democrats at Liberty Grove
for Barksdale. Hooker didn't have thai
many men at the meeting. There i:
complaint that Republican voted al
Pearl School House, but he was carried
there by Hooker man, under the belief
thathe would vote for Hooker. If he had
not voted the result would rot have been
different
Maj. Barksdale is justly elated at tn,
confidence in him expressed by hi,
neighbors; and though it is not pleas
ant consideration for Col. Hooker anC
his friends, they should stand it like
men, hurt though it may.

We agree perfectly with the good old
Ola Ron in this matter; we believe in
sustaining home institutions and indus
tries Of every description. Let Missis-
sIppI schools have their printing done

have their daughters educated at Missis-
sippi institutions of learning.
By the way, perhaps it has never
occurred to the many Mississippi edu
Gators, who are patronizing The CLAIR
ioN Office so literally and Loyalty, to
observe that the daughter of TIE CLAIR
IONS proprietor bears the "inprint" of

The Mobile and Ohio Railroad VS..

a bill against the Mississippi Railroad

stance, the Commission has not confin
ed its regulations to purely domestic or
internal commerce The bill only at

rates on all goods, wares and merehan-
disc from points within the State to
points without the State, and vice versa.

Bishop Galloway.
;hickasaw Messenger. I

Chickasaw Messenger
We regret to see a disposition on the
part of some of our nti-prohibition
friends to say hard things of Bishop G
b. Galloway. We know how easy il is
for an unfriendly listener to misconstrue
the language of a speaker, and we know
too that INSCRIPTIONS reporters some
times wilfully misrepresent, doubtless
for the purpose of destroying the
influence the speaker may have with
other audiences. Because q ,dan is a
prohibitionist, does not argue that he is
fanatic, or an incendiary, nor does it
follow, because man opposes local
option, that he is not a gentleman If
we were commissioned to point out a
given number of the best citizens. the
purest patriots, or the grandest philan-
thropists in ally community of our
acquaintance, we would not confne
ourselves to one side or the other of this
prohibition question. In the ranks of
both factions our best men are to be
found.
We do not agree with Bishop Galloway
on the liquor question, neither have we
any quarrel with him, or be with US,
because of our disagreement. He con

and acknowledge their error, and be will

70 say that we are not member of the
