Special Cor. of the LEADER
JACKSON, July 10.-The people
should be on their guard and ready to
flank the OZARK horse" movement
now on foot to defeat their choice for
Governor. The Jackson Ring is work
ing to bring him in on the home
stretch, and his name is not Solomon,
but Ethel, if he can, or "Dear Bob"
as a last resort. They had pow
WOW at the Edwards House Monday
night, and though all that was said
and done cannot be definitely ascer-
tanned, | can say it was to discuss
how to beat Stone and Cameron.
The effort will be made to get up
all the feeling possible between the
Stone and Cameron men to make it
out of the question to bring these fac
tons together on either man, and
thus put Barksdale or Lowry in.
The bee is annoying "Dear Bob y
very much in the last few days. No
tice all the Picayune specials (sent
from here by Lowry's son-in-law) and
the Clarion-Ledger (Barksdale's old
paper), and Lowry Barksdale can be
seen in every line.

The Delta Shouldn't Claim the
Earth.

The Delta section of the State with
its 80 votes in the State Convention,
based largely on its negro population,
should not presume to claim too much.
1t has thus far in the canvass been
accorded the Auditor and Attorney
General without question, but the ev-
ident attempt being made by some of
its leaders to combine the entire vote
of that section on one for Governor
who is practically a Delta man, is
carrying things rather too far. If
this policy is persisted in, and the
Delta country casts a solid vote for
Cameron in the convention, it may be
that the hill counties, Disguised with
such manifest greed and unfair
ness, will unite on new men for Audi
tor and Attorney General. Stranger
things than this have happened in
political conventions. The words OF
the Greenville Times on this sub
,ject are wise and timely.

Notwithstanding Governor Lowry

Notwithstanding Governor Lowry's
timely and appropriate proclamation
to sheriffs and constables, and the
ordering out of three companies of
State troops to prevent the Sullivan
Kilrain fight in Mississippi, either
through the eowardice or eonnivance
of the sheriffs of Handbook and Ma
rion counties, the fight was neverthe-
less allowed to take place at Rich
burg, Marion county, and the princi
pals and their hackers permitted to
return to New Orleans unmolested.

That Penitentiary DcfalcatiOn.

In the Circuit Court of Kinds
county, Judgment has been rendered
against the old Lessees, Hamilton g.
Hoskins, for the rent of the peniten-
tiary and cOnvicts for the year 1885,
with interest, amounting in round
numbers to about $44 900. The de-
PENDANTS appealed to the supreme
court and the attorney general carries
cross appeal from the decision of
Judge Chrisman, releasing the sure
ties of the lessees, rendered at the
last term of the court. The suit for
the rent for the year 1886 for SINH
lar amount was not tried.
On former trial Judge Chrisman
held that the sureties are not liable
on said bond, in view of the ruling of
of the Judge of the Supreme Court as
arbitrators. On the same ruling it
was claimed that the principals are
not liable, but Judge Campbell held
otherwise.

Tuesdays Primary.

The unanimity with which the
farmers stuck to the Alliance eandi-
dates in the Democratic primary last
Tuesday is a decidedly encouraging
omen for the future of the party in
this county. If all farmer Democrats
will now display the same unanimity
in supporting the nominees Throughout
the campaign which is to follow, the
entire ticket will be elected in
November from top to bottom over
all opposition and Lincoln take her
place once more in the list of reliable
Democratic counties.
Whatever may have been the opin-
ion of any member of the party about
the propriety of the action of the AL
lance in the premises, let all differ
ences and chickering's of that kind
now be buried and forgotten, aud let
every Democrat in the county, ALI
ance man or not, lend helping hand
in elect;ng the ticket nominated. The
LEADER cheerfully acquiesces in the
will of the majority as expressed at
the polls, and when the campaign
fairly opens, its voice will be heard n
the thickest of the fight, bat Ting for
the success of the entire ticket.

Stone, Mississippi's grand old Ex-
Governor, is marching right on to
victory, despite his traducers and the
schemers of the wire pullers. Last

Lowdnes 6, Union 8, Benton 8, Tip
pah 3, Montgomery 2, Clay 4, Amte
3, Neshoba "a total of 1925 in one

1t will be to the interest of the can
didates for every other State Office to
have the nomination for Governor de-
eided with as little delay as possible,
for if there is protracted deadlock
over the nominee for that Office, the
convention will be tired out, and
disguised and rush all other nomina-
tons through with little delibera-
ton.

Considering the well known charac-

championship of Cameron and infa-

likely a part of the conspiracy scheme
referred to by our Jackson cores
pondent to defeat them both. Time
and again the editor of the c. ii. has
shown himself capable of any sort OF
political treaehery and dirty work.

A GRAY Charge Against st one.

4 GRAY G Charge Against st one.
A correspondent of the Memphis
Avalanche says jackson is for any
body against Stone, and charges that
honest old patriot with being "too
stingy" when he was Governor before
to live in the mansion, give balls,
social entertainments and cut other
extravagant swells. The truth is, the
Executive Mansion was out of repair
good portion of the time that Col.
Stone was Governor before, and
knowing the people were oppressed
by the debt left upon them by the
carpet-bag government, he was not
willing to have them taxed to fit him
up fine mansion in which to be giving
fancy balls, etc. Moreover, his wife
was an invalid nearly the whole of his
term of office and in no condition to
see and entertain company. 1t is de-
cidedly to Stones credit to have some
of the people about Jackson against
him, and especially that extravagant
class of swell heads who wish to
sponge upon the State and its Chief
Executive for their own pleasure and
entertainment.

known to be for him instead of Mr..
Cameron. Like Blaine, the CONNER

going upon the principle of claiming
