'1ndividual sacrifice" said Hon.

defeated candidates remember this.
If the party i'll convention or primary
preferred another, give him

Mr.. Il. H. Henry, of the Clarion
Ledger, is candidate for reelection
to the Office of State printer. The
Acknowledged no doubt has the best
equipped Office in the State, and il
the old idea of State organ is to be
perpetuated-that is, to have an ad
ministration organ that is always
ready to proclaim "that the king can
do no wrong" and that is ever ready
on the slightest pretext to sing the
praises of the powers that be, regard
less of the merits of the case, we can
see no reason for a change. We re-
peat, if that is to be the future
policy of the official journal, there
can he no good reason for change OF
organ grinders, especially as the
Clarion Ledger has been put to heavy
expense to perform the mechanical
work necessary and has done the
State printing in thoroughly
satisfactory style.

A Lame Defense.

That was n lame effort made by
Capt. Hoskins Saturday night to an
swer the LEADER as to his ineligi-
bility to a seat in the Legislature. The
section of Constitution quoted 10y us
doesn't say OF imply simply that per
son must be or have been an official
before he can he debarred from holding
Office, as Capt. Hoskins assumed, but
it distinctly says that "No PERSON,
liable for moneys unGccounted for, shall
be eligible to a seat in either house of the
LEGISLATURE" etc. Nor docs it refer
only to embezzlers, etc, as the Cap
tain claimed, for the penitentiary is
the place provided Ivy law for them,
and he will hardly hold that that sec
ton Of the Constitution was adopted
simply to keep convicts out of the
Legislature.
Equally lame was his claim that
when the Lessees' contract was made
with the State, it was distinctly pro-
vided that all the lease money was to
be paid in improvements. Not only
have Gov. Lowry, the Attorney Gen
eral, Judge Campbell and other able
lawyers held that there is nothing in
the contract to justify such claim,
but two Senate Committees investi-
gated and found that there were
about $21 900 in overcharges fol
the improvements made and al
lowed for on the lease fOI
1884. If the State had been
paid in improvements for the lease
money yet due in the same way, the
presumption is fair that it would have
been improved" out of at least $21,
600 more, and so the lease account
would still not be square.
No, if the Captain is in earnest
about running for the Legislature, he
will have to offer an explanation OF
these things that explains.

The Nominee fer FIOater.

The nomination by reclamation of
DR.. r. r. Applewhite for Floater
Representative was the happiest pos
sible solution of the deadlock in the
Pictorial Convention last Friday.
Had either Mr.. Boone or Mr.. Buie
been nominated in the face of the
intense opposition to each, it would
have been next to impossible to recon-
Gle the supporters of the defeated
candidate while for the two counties
to have pulled apart and each run a
candidate, would have been absolute
folly. But on Dr.. Applewhite, all can
unite and support him with a will.
These things the delegates foresaw,
and they are to be compllmented on
their wise action.
Neither DR.. Applewhite nor his most
intimate friends anticipated such re-
suit when the convention met, and it
was clear illustration of the good
old fashion, alas! too near obsolete, of
the Office seeking the man.
1t is needless to add that the Doctor
will be tower of strength to the tick
ct. He is a Democrat of Democrats,
is an experienced legislator and par
Humanitarian, having represented the
county with credit several times be-
fore, and both Lincoln and jefferson
are to he congratulated upon having
such a knightly and thoroughly
equipped standard bearer.

Office at Jackson, is one act of the
present administration that will
cause little mourning in this section

judice and malice, we note the ap-

For several years Watts has been
pretending to be a Democrat, but
nothing the Democrats could do
would ever suit his notions. He has
been chronic Office seeker and sore
head. But he has lit at last where he
belongs. The endorsement of the
mongrel Republican Executive Com
mittee fixes his political sta tus and
places him where his own actions
should have placed him long ago.

1t has valuable improvements secur.d
by nine recent patents, making the Eagle
Eclipse Huller Gin far superior to anv
other gin.
The Eagle Eclipse Huller Gin is the
only gin having combined feeder and
breaker by which whole bolls are broken
apart, putting them in such condition thu
gin will easily discharge them, at the
same time knocking outa large amount of
leaf and dirt.
The Eagle Gin Company have patented
this valuable improvement, thus securing
the exclusive use of the Breaker ana
Feeder.
No cotton gin is now perfect without
the huller attachment, as the finest cotton
can he ginned or II splendid sample made
from rough, hully cotton, which cotton
will bring two cents advance over cotton
ginned on the ordinary saw gin.

foretold in 1857 the deaths OF Emperors
William and Frederick. lie has just pub
lishcd a CHASTITY horoscope Of the present
year There is, Of course, to be sangui-
nary war, and the life Of the present Ger
man Emperor Is TO be endangered both in
the months Of April and May; but, like
most prophets, he endcayors TO make a
margin for himself by saying that the dan
ger will be the result Of fall from a horse
In consequence Of an apopleciic seizure or
wound. According 10 Schleider, trouble
should have already occurred in France
aud II he bo not false prophet II will not
be long before the United States will de-
clare war against Germany over the sa'
moa difficulty. These predictions, repub'
iished prominently In the English newspa

cycle is due this year and another one mex
