The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1888-05-05

The New York Times prints an exhaus-
tive editorial, in its issue of Thursday, to
show that Mr.. Blaine will, in the nature
of things, be surely nominated at Chica
go. In closing the Times says: "The va
rious men who have tried to keep alive
some hope that, at the last moment, the
lightning Of the convention would strike
them, have about gwen it up, even Mr..
Sherman being an exception more in ap,
pearance than in reality. As for those
who have nursed the illusion that Blaine e
was really out, and that the better ele>
ment' was rid of him and could choose
some one worthy Of the place, they have
become pretty we'll discouraged. If any
of them have the heart to 60 to Chicago,
we shall admire their faith and tender
them our sincere sympathy. Mr.. Blaine
is the man."

THE KILLING AT JACKSON.

When the news was received in Gre
NADIA of the killing Of Gen'l. Writ Adams,
postmaster at Jackson, and Mr.. John H.
Martin, editor Of the New Mississippian,
by each other, it senta thrill of horror
throughout our community, and expires.
sions Of sorrow and regret could be
heard on every hand. Not indorsing the
views of the New Orleans States on the
subject of prohibition, yet We publish
below its otherwise admirable article,
which portrays the noble character Of
Gen'l Adams better than we can do:
yesterday another chapter in the pros
hibitiop crusade was written on the streets
Of Jackson, Mississippi, in blood. The
immediate cause of the fight, in whlch Gen.
Writ Adams and Mr.. Martin. editor of the
Ncw Mississippian, were both killed, was
the reckless and violent personal abuse of
Gen. Adams by young Martin through the
latter's newspaper; but the feud grew out
of the prohibition craze which q plumber
Of crazy fanatics of Mississippi have been
carrying on, for several years past, with o
violence that is disgraceful to human ma
ture and that has more than once PROVOKED
bloodshed. When the full particulars are
before us we shall have more to say on
this feature of the matter.
Gen, Writ Adams was sixty>nine years
Of age, and though born in Kentucky, he
lived the greater portion of his life in
Mississippi, he was typical Southern
gentleman Of the old school, but he also
possessed many characteristics peculiar to
the highest class Of Mississippians. There
was no man more honored and beloved
throughout his State and in New Orleans,
where he was also we'll known. Before
the war he was q successful banker, He
commanded with great gallantry and sue
cess brigade in the Confederate army and
no man, anywhere, has more stainless
record as business man, patriot, gentle
man and soldier.
General Adams character may be cor
rectly termed, in the manly sense, lovely.
He was gentle as woman, warm hear ted,
affectionate and generous, and brave as
a lion. If we understood Gen. Adams
nature correctly, and it has been our good
fortune to know him we'll for more than
twenty years, he would have periled his
own life before he would have done the
humblest of Gods creatures an intentional
wrong, and he would have shed the last
drop Of his hearts blood in defense of the
| right in any cause.
That such d man should have been made
the target, week after week, not of criti-
cism Of his official acts, but Of the most fu>
rious and unreasoning personal abuse,
shows The violence OF the prohibition craze
and the recklessness of its leaders
Mr. Martin was young man Of decided
talents and many excellent traits of char
acter; and if he had not, like many other
young men in journalism, assumed that to
be fearless, vigorous and famous in jour-
nalism, it was only necessary to single
out and, justly or unjustly, recklessly
abuse somc conspicuous citizen, he would
have been light in his profession in
Mississippi"

WELCOME TO THE MISSISSIPPI
PRESS ASSOCIATION.

On next Wednesday, May 9th, the
Mississippi State Press Association con-
yenes in our little city. 1t is not our
province here to welcome the members
Of the Association, nor to speak of the
warm reception which our citizens Of all
classes will extend to them, for that priv
ilege has been delegated to others, who
at the proper time and occasion, will tell
in fervent, vivid language the warm hos
pitable welcome which Grenada and her
generous hearted citizens offer to the
Press Of Mississippi. But we can here
assure our expected guests that the vel
come which Grenada, and her citizens
have in store for them, is not one of mere
words and formality, but is indeed q
hearty welcome-a welcome born of hos.
pitality; one that while it may not be SO
grand and magnificent as in larger and
more wealthy cities Of our State are ca
pable OF extending, yet in the sense that
ii is true and sincere, warm and hearty,
we doubt if the Press at any place could
be more highly honored or more royalty
received. A grand welcome consists moi
in fawning eulogy, nor sweeping compli'
ments, buried beneath high sounding
and finished rhetoric, nor in polished
seductive hattery, but in the desire tc
please and crafty the guest and to lei
him know and feel that he is at home
among friends and companions, and
that his soul may bask in the warm sun
shine which without display or effort
comes from the heart of the host. This
is the welcome which Grenada offers tc
ner honored guests, and one which is
characteristic of her generous men and
warm hearted, loving women.
Grenada asks for no requital Of her
hospitality, as its generous impulse is
the instinct Of her nature; but all she
wants, is for the members of the Press Of
Mississippi to feel at home and among
friends-among those who delight to
honor them, who feel complimented al
having the opportunity of entertaining
and receiving them in their homes,
around their freside, and of giving them
that warm grasp Of the hand whose very
pressure carries with it that sympathy
and welcome, by the side of which
words are as thinking cymbals and
sounding brass"

To the Colored Voters of Grenada.

We desire to say few words Of kind
ness, in soberness and in earnest, to our
colored friends OF this municipality.
The contest between Crowder, the nomi-
nee, and Dubard, the bolter, is not a
political contest. Both will tell you that
they are unfinching, dyed-in-the-wool
Democrats, and that those who vote for
them must distinctly understand that fact
Two years ago, when there were grave
doubts as to the authority Of the party
to nominate candidite for City Mar
shal, only Democrats being aspirants for
the office and one of them refusing to
submit his candidacy to convention,
Mr.. Dubard was nominated. Quite q
number of good and true Democrats,
styling themselves Tammanyites, denied
the right OF the party to nominate, under
the circumstances, and gave their un-
qualified support to the Independent.
Mr.. Dubard was elected, and for the
past two years has had the warm
support Of the whole community
in the discharge OF his official duties.
This year every candidate for Marshal
Dubard, Crowder, Wright and Bosworth,
all Democrats and no Republicans in the
ield-called upon the Democratic party
to settle the question Of candidacy be-
tween them. The party promptly and
fairly did it by nominating Mr.. Crowder.
Messrs. Wright and Bosworth gracefully
yielded to the action Of the party, but
Mr.. Dubard has raised the standard of
revolt, and is calling upon Republicans
to rally to his support. Will you do it:
We repeat, there is no political issue in
this contest; no question involved about
which Democrats and Republicans differ.
In fact, the only matter involved is that
in regard to which good men of all par
ties agree-good faith and fair dealing.
Will you support Mr.. Dubard because
he he has repudiated the action Of the
party that nominated and elected him
two years ago, and that at his request
settled the question Of candidacy this
year, or which is the same thing?
Will you support him, regardless Of his
broken pledge and bad faith If you
will, the issue is sharp and we'll defined.
It Is death struggle between good faith
and fair dealing on the one side, and the
encouragement OF bad faith and broken
pledges on the other.
The Democratic party Of Grenada
stands where it always stood--on the
side Of good faith and fidelity to pledges.
1t has God and justice on its side, and
will carry the election
Let uh urge our colored friends not to
array themselves on the side OF man
who has shamelessly gone back on his
promise to abide by the action OF his
party. Make no issue Of that sort, we
implore you. No good can result to any
one from 1t. We have been living in
harmony. Don't let that harmony be
disturbed by 20 reyolting an issue.

Size of Boston Common.

As is well known to Bostonians through
the medium of New York papers, the
dwellers in this city are morbidly sensitive
to any disparaging reflections on the size
or beauty of the common As this sensi-
tiveness is shared by old and young, the
feelings of young lady who took her
little country cousin. aged six. to see the
common must have been hurt by the
calmly critical way in which he looked it
over.
