recites that 'iu the long period Of
Mississippi's Statehood, 70 years, not

This is u figure of speech, and MOTH
ing more was meant we suppose. In
historical truth and record more than
go years ago G,rard Brandon, a
scholar, a profound thinker and o
statesman in the words best sense, a
native of Adams county, was Governor
Of Mississippi. At that early day he
saw the portending overflow Of negroes
into the State, aud in 1928, in
message depicting the evils of such 9
condition, with prophetic and philo
sophie wisdom he urged the Legisla
ture to enact a law prohibiting theil
importation from the other States. A
that period a majority of Mississippi
inhabitants we're white, aud hat
Governor Brandon's counsel beef
needed would have so remained to thit
day. A brother Of this distinguished
man, Gen. Nm. l.. B random, com
manded a Mississippi regiment a
Malvern Hill with such conspicuou
skill and daring as to win high ant
honorable mention. Over 60 years OLE
then, he left q leg on that stricken
field. This brave old gentleman,
ver,y grand seigneur in port and bear

A FALSE ISSUE.

-
The Democratic Hope Of DlStrAOting Attsn.
ton from the Real Question:
Rrehts GGseik.
The great howl going up from Demo-
cratic sheets Of this State that General
Golf first raised technical questions in
the contest matter, and that Judge Flem-
ing therefore has the right to resort to
any means to secure Imposition Of Gov
ernor, ia another illustration of how
these deleCtable demoRlizers OF public
opinion are in a predlcament, General
GoR Ia in quite a different position from
Judge Fleming, He Is acting on the de-
iensive, He has to submit to the decision
Of his political opponents, II he can
raise any question that q Democratic
Legislature will consider sufficient to re-
jeCt votes from his adversary, certainly
he has the right to do SO, That Is quite
q different thing from taking advantage
Of techniGalities decided faVorably by
political friends.
Again 1t is pretty we'll settled that
two wrongs never make a right. Sup
posing that 1t was improper for Gen
Coil TO meet Judge Jennings extraor'
binary charges with legal objections
does that Justify the Contestee in avail
ing himself OF the opportunity OF taking
an Office to which the majority or ptu'
rality OF the voters OF the State did not
elect him? This would be nothing but
a political vendetta. The attempt Ia
sustain 1t must result in failure. The
people cannot be deceived, II Judge
Fleming was not fairly elected Govern
or, no methods whatever 10 which Gen,
Golf might resort to retain the office
could justify the former in SELLING 1t,
So lot this false cry end. 1t deceiyes
no one-not even those who arc putting
1t forth with such vigor. Tho hope o.
d~istracting attention from the real issue
by such folly Is vain one. The situa,
ton Is simply that Judge Fleming aad
his political allies charged In the begin,
ming that a large number OF fraudulent
votes had been cast for Gen. GOT FOL
Governor. This was the issue raised
by the Democratic leaders. They de-
clared this was true, and being true thai
Fleming was entitled 10 be Governor
Tie persons making this charge were
given every opportunity to sustain 1t
They searched the State over. What &c
far has been the result? The proc
gathered with immense expense ant
labor in about twenty counties, has beef
scanned, as with n legal microscope, ant
the little fraud discovered was all OF
behalf OF the Democracy. OF the few
dozen illegal Republican votes allowed
there were reasons that might convince
the commissioners who took them, tina
they were proper. Excluding tn!
famous Brooke county misunderstood
ing, and Its result, Coll has gained vote
on Fleming on the latter's own tests.
After all, 1t Is not much wonder tina
the Democratic papers are Bhriekini
over u false issue. II is q desperate sit
uation and something desperate has Il
he done.
