Like Cleveland, Like stone.

1t has been said again and again by
his detractors that Grover Cleveland
is not brilliant man, that he is not
a magnetic man and that he is coarse
and blunt, but no man ever rose high.
err and more rapidly in the esteem of
the American people than Cleveland,
and in spite of the Oft-repeated asser-
tious that he was lacking in brilliancy
and craftsmanship, 10 occasion or
emergency ever arose during his term
as Governor or President, that he was
not equal to the demands made upon
him. The politicians hated him, be-
cause they could not control and use
him, but his splendid Judgment,
dauntless courage, rugged honesty
and adamantine firmness constantly
attracted the people to him, and he
is to day the strongest man before
the masses in the Nation.
As Cleveland has his detractors, so
it haa been with Governor Stone.
They say he is a plain, unassumiDg
man, without the polish and brilliancy
needful for the Chief Executive of a
great State like this; that he used to
be an insignificant railroad agent, and
since his retirement from the guber-
material chair has had the bad taste to
lower his dignity by following the
pillow and getting his hands hard and
sunburnt by honest labor; he is econ
omical, they say, and isn't progress
i've and a believer in large and ex-
travagant appropriations of the peo-
pies money.
Well, the people understand all this
sort of talk, and they think the more
of Stone for it. He may not be a
may not hesitate to make an honest
living with his hands when circum-
stances require it, but lie made the
best Governor Mississippi ever had
and can do so again. He may not be
brilliant and polished, but, like Cleve-
land, no draft was ever made upon his
judgment, his integrity, his courage,
his firmness, while Governor, that
was not duly honored. Standing be-
tween the Ames dynasty Oh the
one hand and the Lowry regime
on the other, his administration tow
ers above the two as high as Pixies
Peak lifts its snow capped summit
above the mole-hills of the Colorado
plains.
No, the politicians, the corrupt
ringsters and schemers do not like
John NJ. Stone, because he is too
"brilliant" and too honest to be used
by them, but the people honor him
and love him for the enemies he has
made.

Ed. Martins Speech at Clinton

In view of the high standard of ex-
ce]lence of Mississippi College and
Central Female Institute, it was a
splendid compliment to E. l.. Martin,
of the New Mlssissippian, to be invit-
ed to deliver the annual address be-
fore the three literary societies OF
those Institutions and at the same time
it was most graceful and deseryered
recognition on their part of his manly
and independent course as a journal
list. How handsomely and worthily
Ed. acquitted himself is told by the
correspondent of the Times Democrat
as follows:
Hon. E. L. Martin, editor of the
Jackson New Mississippian, made the
the address, and a member of the
Board of Trustees but voiced the SEN
timents of all when he declared it the
best that had ever been delivered be-
fore the societies. Mr.. Martins sal
lies of wit, humor and satire brought
down the house and won him the un-
divided attention of the audience
from his opening sentence. The body
of the address was strong presenta-
ton of the power and attachments of
an educated mind, claim of the in
tellectual equality of the sexes and
an appeal for fixedness of purpose and
concentration of energies in the per-
Torrance of ones life work. His die
ton was chaste and eloquent aud his
imagery was very fine.
When it is remembered that this
place has been filed on former ocea-
sions by Goodwin, Major Barksdale,
the silvery tongued Hooker and other
equally noted speakers, this is high
compliment indeed.

A Warming from Dick Tate.

"Honest Dick Tate" the defaulting
State Treasurer of Kentucky, has
written letter to a Kentucky paper
from his place of exile in Japan, in
which he says:
"The Democratic party is not
responsible for my robbing the
State of half million dollars. That
is,the individuals of the party are not
What responsibility attaches to il
and them is in letting the same lead
ers year after year run the machine,
and keep me and Hewitt in Office
term after term, as though We were
the only men in the party who could
fill the Offices"
Let the opponents of rotation in
Mississippi get all the comfort they
can ont of this.

The Dudleys, Dorseys, Tweeds and
ring politicians generally of the
State are exerting every muscle now
to get up deadlock in the State
Convention and prevent the nomina-
ton of either one of the three avow-
ed candidates for Governor. They
know they cannot use either Stone,
Cameron or Featherston to forward
any of their dirty jobs and schemes
they are not built that way-and so
they hope by bringing about a dead
lock, to be able to run in a dark
horse candidate that they can manip-
ulate. Let the supporters of Stone,
Cameron and FeatherstOn stand by
their respective favorites long and 10y
ally, if they see fit; but above all, let
them see to it that no dark horse
trick is worked and all three of these
worthy candidates sacrificed by de-
signing schemers.

Col. Hemingway, in speech at
Winona four years ago, referred to
"HOnest Dick Tate" of Kentucky,

and of great moment was his fall to
taxpayers. Pass the Offices around

Mr.. Frank Johnston, Jackson, Miss
My DEAR Shiny absence from
home, together with pressing engage
ments, has prevented an earlier re-
spouse to your esteemed favor of re-
cent date.
There is, as yOu say, a large and
growing sentiment in the State in IA
yer of a Constitutional Convention,
and, III the event of my election to
the Office of Governor, if the legisla-
ture, in its wisdom, shall pass an act
providing for such Convention, the
same will be promptly approved.
Very truly yours,

The argument of the antiStOne
men that the sturdy, honest old Gov
ernor was opposed to Constitution
al Convention and would veto a Con-
vention bill as Lowry did, and there
by seeking to perpetuate an ap-
pointive judiciary and secure his own
denomination four years hence, is
knocked into outer darkness by the
letter of Governor Stone which we
publish to-day. Gov. Stone'spOsitiOn
ON this question is all that the most
ardent Convention man could ask.

Gov. Lowry is to be heartily com
amended for his prompt and vigorous
action to prevent the human ruffians
Sullivan and Kilrain from having
their prize fight in this State. Such
exhibitions of brutality may do for
cultured Boston and the land OF
advanced moral ideas, but we do not
want the honored soil of old Missis-
sippi to be disgraced in any such way.

The Winona Advance, Durant News
and few other papers that are OPP
posing Stone for new man, and at
the same time tearing their neither
garments for Hemingway, should be
more consistent. Hemingway has
held the State Treasurer's Office
ever since good while before
Stone was Governor the first time.
Verify the legs of the lame are not
equal, and it is poor rule that won't
work both ways.

The Sentinel will support Col.
Stone, because the exigcncies of the
times, the financial condition of our
State, demand such a man at the
helm. In 1875, the most critical peri
cd in the history of our Safe, he was
called to the Chief Magistry, and
proved equal to all emergencies.-An-
other crisis is approaching; the State
is in debt, and for several years has
been sinking deeper and deeper into
the mire of financial ruin; the cool
business head, honest heart and firm
hand of John NJ. Stone is needed once
again. He has been tried and we
know him to be true; he has been
weighed in the balances and found
correct; he has been cast in the cruel
bic and came ont purer for the fiery
trial. We need him again, and the
people will not be derelict of duty
when the county primaries are held.
Again, the Sentinel favOrS Col.
Stone, because North Mississippi is
entitled to furnish the Governor this
term, by all laws of justice and fair
ness; South Mississippi having fur
nished the Gov. for the past eight
years; and among the candidates of
North Miss, (all of whom are good
men) we deem the chest Governor
Mississippi ever had" to be better fit
ted by nature and experience to now
grapple with the great question of the
States finances than others of this
section, OF of the State.
Again, we are for Col. Stone, be-
cause as soldier he was as true as
the truest, as brave as the bravest,
and always noble, honorable and chiv
alrOus; and we venture to assert that
there is not surviving member of the
old I'd Miss. Regiment in the State
who will fail to cast his vote for John
NJ. Stone in the coming primaries. AS
a citizen he is upright and honorable;
as friend, true as steel.-Ripley Sent

GOV. STONE.
What the "Sentinels" on the
Watch Tower Say.

The Sentinel has waited patiently
to see who the pronounced candidates
for Governor of this State would be,
and now that we believe they are all
in the field, it is our God-given right
to express our choice. In this matter
we can truthfully assure the public
that we have no "friends to reward -
no enemies to punish" We simply
have the interest of the State at heart.
We want to see fearless, honest, in
dependent, progressive Governor
free from all rings, cliques and COM
bines-"a man of the people, and for
the people, and such man we know
Hon. j. NJ. Stone to be. While the
other candidates are men of brains
and courage, and we have nought to
say against them, yet we believe ex-
Gov. Stone to be better adapted, un-
der all the circumstances of the hour,
to the position to which he aspires,
than any of his competitors.
He has been tried and tested in the
crucible of experience, and proved
himself under all circumstances equal
! to the demands of the occasion and OF
the times. In fact he made the best
Governor we have had since the war,
and no doubt would make still bet
ter one if again elected, because his
opportunities would be greater. AS
soldier none were Drawer in battle
truer in principle, or more steadfeast
in purpose, as his legion of comrades
all over Mississippi will cheerfully at
test, and will in this political fight
again rally around him, and bear him
on to victory. AS citizen his patri-
Otism reaches every portion of our
State, and he will be found working
for the best interest of all sections,
whether they be on the Mississippi or
on the Tombigbee-the Gulf or. the
hills of TishOmingo. Since his retire.
ment he has not been a distant obser-
yer of the operations of the farm, but
has manfully identified himself with
the leading interest of the State. AS
a gentleman he is dignified and cOur-
teous,. well understanding the rela-
tons he suStains to society in all of
its ramifications. AS Democrat he
has always been pure, true and loyal.
AS friend and neighbor he is kind,
generous and true, but always firm
and positive, whether in public or
private duty.
Such in part is the man we prefer
to be our next chief Executive, whom
we believe can confer benefits upon
the people, and luster upon his adj
ministration.-Gren Sentinel.
