The GeSernorshlp Anotksr
Withdrawal.

nor:
''The canvass for the nomination
for Governor having progressed far
enough to make it evident thai the
vote Of the several counties now
holly contested will not materially
affect the ultimate result, so far as
bis candidacy is concerned, and
being DESTROYS Of relieving his
friends of further effort in his
behalf, and Of giving those who have
supported him an opportunity to
choose between the other aspirants
for the nomination, he has deter
mined to withdraw from the race,
expressing the fullest faith and con-
fidence in the success and triumph Of
Democracy, and believing that in its
domination and control Of affairs
rests the life Of the State and the
vitality Of our civilization.
ITO his friends in the different
parts of the State who so generously
supported him, and to whose kind
offices and loyal aid he owes so
much he tenders his heartfelt graft
tude, with the assurance that time
only depends his sense of obligation
to them"
AS we view the situation and upon
the theory that Col. TaylOr's
strength will go well nigh in solido
to j. NJ. Stone, this event about
ends doubt as to the next Governor
of Mississippi. After the Hon. E.
Barksdale's withdrawal, the estate
makers" gave the Ex-Governor go
votes on the first ballot. 1t may be
safely assumed that there will be
added 10 this three fourths of the
delegates of the counties slated to
Taylor: Pamela, Tallahatchie,
Grenada, Quitman, Tunica, Lafay-
cite. DeSoto, Tate, half Bolivar and
half Coahoma, 80 votes II this
contingent is further reinforced
through the moral effect which the
successful man exerts over the
doubtful and wavering, one ballot
will settle all
In giving our own estimate Of q
question of so much concern to our
readers, for their full information 1t
is proper to present different view.
The Commercial Herald is assured
that the people want NEW man for
Governor. This idea our contempt
rary collars in its own peculiar and
pungent way thus:
Although they are scattering,
none Of the Barksdale men are going
to Stone. Lee gets some, Bob 7 d.
some, Martin some, and Old Sweat a
portion. The prediction is made
that Rankin will instruct for Farmer
Cameron. Let us see, Rankin was
. Barksdale county. And thus it
will come to pass as was said by this
great conscientious journal: there is
yet no evidence that the Barksdale
men are rushing to Stone, and we
said they would not. The Banks
dale and Stone era is probably q
thing of the past"
While the sentiment the CONNER
cial Herald OWNED has not shown
up in the acts of the counties which
have held conventions, our faith in
the acumen Of that journal inclines
US somewhat doubt, or at least make
liberal allowance for error in, ouI
own conclusions. The Commercial
Herald has long claimed especial
aptitude in feeling the public pulse,
in applying to its throbs the test
Of pure calculation. Hence in
Difference to its confident assertions
} of an undertow. our readers had best
be prepared for surprises.
Since last issue of the TIMES con.
ventions have been held in Scott
Jones and Issaquens counties. Issa.
quena instructed for Cameron, Jones
ex-Gov. Stone, and Scott is stated
to be for Stone and Taylor. Con,
ventions will be held in Neshoba
