REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

The republicans met here again
Saturday, and nominated candi-
dates tor senator, representative and
fOater. File m Wood occupied the
chair and presided with all the
dignity OF thoroughbred African.
j. B, Jones, the present represen-
tative from McNairy county, was
nominated for senator from Nc.
Marry and Hardeman; Dave Sain,
colored, for fioater from Fayette
and Hardeman, and I. j. Ruffin
for county representative. jones
was in town, but strange to say he
refused to go near the convention
or to have anything to do with it.
We don't know what reason he
gave for stunning it. Perhaps he
wac ashamed of his crowd, or was
under the impression that the ats
mosphere would bee too dense for
him. John Kenny was the only
white man who could muster suf~
fcient courage TO face the music.
He was present and participated
in the meeting. The irrepressible
Frank Miller was on hand as usual,
and put his colored brother Dave
Sain in nomination. Franks
speech was the effort of his life and
we are indeed sorry we cannot give
in full. Here is part of it:
Mr.. Cheer nun an Gemmen OBJ
de Convenshun-I has a man to
put in nominashun for foater who
will represent de counties of Fayette
and Hardeman wild 'telligenee and
wild credit; he's thurly posted In
regard to de duties oh de office he
am seekin' and / 'vises you all to
stick to him like a leech, for as
Gineral Grant said "togedder we
stands, divided we falls" | don't
schuse democrats nor none, but /
wants you all to vote fer him, OATS
de idea bout de thing. IT We spects
to do ennything,we mus all work to-
gedder, for sometimes de horse
wins OATS least 'spected-just as |
seed it de case at de race track de
udder day. Now, dis being de case
an desc being de facts, dominates
BREEDER Sain.
John Kenny nominated Tom J.,
Ruffin for representative and Frank
modestly (2) opposed it on the
ground of Rufin's absence from the
convention. Frank said she neb-
Der had seed him in a convenshun
yit; If he spects to 90 ennything
for de party he ought to come out
and let us see his face and hear his
voice, OATS de idea"
They were terribly mixed over
the organization of the county
committee, but finally settled it by
allowing the distinguished Flem to
act as oh airman for the next two
years. After the organization
speeches were made by Sain, Har-
din and others, and the roaring farce
was concluded.

The negroes are being thoroughly

all repsct to the many good men in
the republican party, we say the
man who will lend himself to the
organization of the negro for politi-
cal purposes is an enemy of the
town and county in which he may
live. The negro, like a bucking
mule, is hard to start but once star

idfluence on county and city poll

organization with anything but
horror. Once learning his power,

of INSCRIPTIONS politicians, be-
comes a troublesome factor in poll
tics he is without political principle
or conviction. HIS organized en-

COMMITTED SUICIDE.

The Remains of John NJ. Mason Found
in the River.
The mystery surrounding the disappear
ance of John Mason has been solved.
His body was found by two boatmen
yesterday morning at $50 o'clock, in the
river opposite the fish market. The Coro-
ner upon being notified took charge of the
remains and had them conveyed to the
mo-gue.
1t is plainly case of suicide, as the fol-
lowing note, addressed to the deceased's
wife and found in one of his pockets, indi-
Gates:
Ny dear, dear ,ctfe: All have to say is good
bye. l am better off dead than alive. l love
you and our baby with all my heart JACK.
The wife and relatives of Mason are
nearly distracted over his untimely end. 1t
is generally conceded that the unfortunate
young man became respondent on account
OF financial troubles, and in moment of
desperation ended his life.
He was last seen Sunday evening. He
had been out riding with his wife and left
her at the house of some friends, promis-
ing to return soon. That was the last she
saw of hun. Half an hour later special
police officer May Saw the young man on
the Yolo bridge, and, noticing that he was
acting rather strangely, he spoke to him.
Mason denied that he was going to do him
self harm, and at the officers request left
the dangerous place he had been occupying
outside of the railing. He was seen to
leave the bridge little later, but it is pie
sumed that he either returned or jumped
overheard from some wharf.
John NJ. Mason was % years of age, a
native of San Francisco, and leaves wife
and year-old child. An inquest will be
held this forenoon, and in the afternoon
the funeral will take place.

THE GAS WELL.
Large Crowds Inspected 1t Yesterday
The Flowing Water.

Inc EloW1ng water
The announcement in yesterdays Rec
ORD UNION that heavy flow of artesian
water had been tapped by the natural gas
well at Fifth and r streets, caused several
hundred people principally merchants
and property owners-to visit the well dur
ing the day.
No pumping or boring was done during
the day, in order that good idea of the
quality of the water tapped, and the
strength of the flow might be formed by
the citizens. Heretofore there have been
no important artesian wells discovered IN
Sacramento, and it was the popular bellef
that the people would have to go on for
generations to come drinking the muddy
water of the Sacramento river. But the
discovery at this well proves beyond
doubt that a good supply OF delicious
drinking water can be had by simply boz
ing for it.
Those who sampled the water yesterday
were unanimous in their praise of it. 1t
is much softer than ordinary well water
and is delightfully."- cool and sparkling.
Engineer Draper says he is confident
that after this flow is passed in boring
deeper for gas, even a greater and finer
indicates it. The peculiar rock formation
that has been encountered and the pres
ence of gravel and quicksand, says Mr..
Draper, are invariably the forerunners of
water bodies. Quantities of the water
were taken to chemist for analyzation, as
was also some of the gas which bubbles
up through the water continuously. Dur
ing the afternoon an attempt was made TO
test the qualities of the gas, with crudely-
made meter, but it failed 10 develop any
thing definite.
To-day the work of drilling further into
the ground will be resumed, and it is
thought that the present flow of water will
soon be shut off. The well is now about
1856 feet deep.
