1t is creditable to Mr.. McIc&n,
through whom the LEADER did not re-
etfve either directly or indirectly so
much as an intimation of the tilt be-
tween himself and Senator George re-
fcrrcd to in our article of last week,
that he should he so ready to give the
Senator credit for all he is entitled to
in the premises; but we must at the
same time be permitted to say, that
we cannot see that his letter breaks
the force or justice of the LEADERS
criticism. On the contrary, we really
think it strengthens it.
We have no desire to do our Sena-
tor the least injustice. SO far from it u,
we are proud of the ability he has
shown as member of the United
States Senate and of his record in that
body. No man in political life in Mis-
sissippi has commanded more fully
than he our confidence and personal
esteem. Our complaint is, that his
course as member of the Convention,
when brought face to face with Mis-
sissippi's problem, has not been com
mensurate with the character and re-
sponsibility of his high position.
Senator George is more responsible
than any one man in Mississippi for
the calling of the Convention. Well
do we remember how solemnly and
earnestly lie urged its importance in
speech at this place last fall and point
ed ont that something effectual and
lasting must be done to legally stay
the constantly swelling black tide
that is threatening to hopelessly en-
gulf our social and political institu-
tiOns. But behold, when the hour for
real action comes, what do we see
Our great Senator trying to damn up
this dark stream with the sand and
straw of sheer expediency and cireum-
vention
Mr.. Mclean says that he has shown
the utmost willingness to compromise
on something of this sort. Right
there is the rub. 1t was to be expect
ed that men of contracted views, lin
tied foresight and craftsmanship
would be in favor of giving the pa
tient catnip tea; but for man of Sen
ator Georges ability, position and in
fluence, who had promised to lay
something of value on the coun-
ell board of the Convention, to fail to
take high ground for ballot reform
that meant something and urge its ac-
ceptance upon the members of the
Convention who naturally looked to
him for leadership, has been disap-
pointing in the extreme.
lis course, according 10 Mr.. Nc
Lean, has not only been one OF com-
promise, but compromise on a low
plane, that will accomplish little last
ing good--and thus, through his ac-
knowiedged influence with the men in.
The Brookhaven leader., 1890-09-11

The prime object of the Conven-
ton is to secure white supremacy.
Does amy reasonable and thinking
man believe that provision of this
kind would be ratified by Il negro ma
jority, if submitted to popular vote?
Surely not. Enough white men will
be opposed to the Constitution, it mat
tiers not how much merit it may pos
sess, to combine with the negro vote
and defeat it. Its submission means
its defeat. 1t would be better for the
Convention to blot out all Its work
and "qnit the drive" rather than sub
NIT its work under existing condi-
TONS IFinOnG Times.
The Brookhaven leader., 1890-09-11

The Constitution should not be sub
mitted to the people for ratification
and adoption. The Convention has
plenary power to make and adopt a
constitution and it is its business and
duty to do it. We can't understand
how any man who feels the proper in
terest in the welfare of Mississippi can
advocate the submission of the con-
stitution to the people for ratification

a Times Democrat special of Sept.
9TH says; "At meeting of the Sum
nit City Council to-day the rate of
taxation was reduced II per cent on
the dollar. This is the third consec-
utive annual reduction in the rate of
taxation by the city authorities, not
outstanding the heavy outlay in the
purchase of the Peabody School build
ing and erection of the finest City
Hall between New Orleans and Jack
son, Miss. Shipments of cotton from
this place TO. Sept. l, were 16,205
bales, being 1910 bales more than last
year, and 1000 bales in excess of any
previous season." Summit is another
one of your towns that Prohibition
has ruined.
The Brookhaven leader., 1890-09-11

Senator George and the narrow
guaged statesmen with whom, ac-
cording to Mr.. Mclean, he is only too
willing to compromise, seem to re-
gard it as IL great political crime to
say man shall not vote after Jan. /,
1896, unless he can read; but it's all
right to cheat the poor, ignorant devil
that can't read out of his vote through
the instrumentality Of partisan regis
tration boards and election officers.

JACKsoN. Miss, Sept. 6, 1890.

/ Editor Of the BrookhaSon Leader:
DEAR SIR-In your issue of rhe 4th
/ inst, under the head of "Not a lead
rr, hut an obstructiOniss," you crit
else, think, rather severely our dis
tihguished e. S. Senator J. u. George,
and at the same time pay me very
! handsome compliment. Permit me
to express my appreciation of your
kind words in reference to myself, and
also to say that am satisfied when
you wrote the article you were acting
under an erroneous impression as to
! the action of the Senator.
! 1t is truc that in the Franchise Com
mittee room | took occasion in the
! Senator's presence to oTiticise him.
/ The question arose in this way: The
Franchise committee had agreed to
recommend what is known as the
Dorch system of ballotting (Which re-
1uircs the voter 70 mark, unaided
the name of sic candidate lie desires
10 vote for); the Committee had also
adopted the following requirement. fcr
an elcctOr:
LIST. That he should be able to read
any section of the Constitution; or,
2nd. Should understand the same
when read to him.
The last two requirements were to GO
into effect on January LIST, 1896; where
as the DOrch system was to be put in
operation at once. You will perceive
mt glance the inconsistency between
the DOrch system and the tw0requir-
meuts aLeve named, if the two syS-
TENS were to he operative at the same
time.
In order to make them harmonize,
Senator George proposed that after
the LIST day of January, 1896 (this be-
ing the date when the two requir-
nents above named, should take eff
fecD, the Dorch system should be
modified so that the voter, in the
event he should he nnable to mark his
ballot, should have the assistance of
the election officer. Then it was that
/ criticised the Senator for proposing
to- emasculate out of the Dorclf sys-
tenn, what little virtue and efficacy it
contained. At the time | did so,
was under the impression that the
Senator proposed to so modify the
Dorch system, before the two reQuir-
ments above named should be opera
tive; but when the Senator explained
himself and said that his object was to
harmoAizc the two plans, | at once
said to the committee that had mis-
interpreted the proposed alteration.
Permit me to add that Senator
George has in no sense been an Oh
structionist, but upon the other hand
has been compromising in his views
upon the franchise question. | criti
cised him for this compromising spir-
it.
| am satisfied that he has at heart
above all things the interest of Mis-
sissippi, and that his efforts as II mem
Der of said committee have been di-
rected toward not only harmonizing
the divergent views of the several
members of the committee, but also
to place the franchise upon basis to
permanently secure white supremacy |
in our State. Respectfully Yours,
WIN. c. MCLEAN.

Questions or assertions of the dan
ger of return of political neg1oism
are not denied, but are met by the re-
ply that we still have stored away the
methods of 1875. While these resorts
of despairing people extinguished a
status so abhorrent and obnoxious
that they were accepted and embraced
by the highest morality in the land
this is absolutely automatic: That in
their moral tendency and material eff
feet, they will under continuous usage
or reliance prove as destructive of the
State as negro rule. Guarantees con-
sistent with law, statute and moral,
defensible abroad, must be sought

Messrs. Boyd and Miller, whom we
heard speak in the convention Tues
day, are types of their kind, and it is
his readiness to compromise on the
narrow and prejudiced views of such
men as these, instead of taking an ad-
vancsd stand and urging them and
their people to come to him, that has
so belittled Senator George and dis
appointed thousand of his warmcst
admirers.

An ALI Round Crook.

Officer Mooney made good cap
ture when he run in the fellow who
gave his name as Daaly Thursday
night. After being returned to the
city Jail, he was stripped and his
body examined fer marks to describe
him by. No less than three gunseot
scars were found on him. In addition
three little, round balls are branded
upon one arm, while the other arm
is tsttooed with red and blue India
ink. Yesterday morning, Mr.. Powell,
one of the superintendent of the
street paving, visited the Jail and
identified the man as one he had seen
laying around Leavenworth. Kansas,
selling snide jewelry, and closely
watched by the officers of that city as
crook. Mr.. Powell also thinks the
fellow has served time in the Kansa:
penitentiary for heusebreaking. The
authorities there have been writer
in regard TO the man, and reply Is
expected in a day or two. DAILY is
undoubtedly, an all round crook, and
is very shrewd and intelligent. His
S125 fines against him does not seem
to worry him a particle.

Mrs. Fred Williams, living on Sixth

night in her carriage to do a little
shopping, stopping on Second. be-
tween Ohio and Usage, she left the
horse standing unhitched, and entered
a store room. The Salvation Army
shortly after came along with their
drums and tsmbourines, and the horse
took fright and ran. He turned onto
Usage and ran to Fifth street, where
he turned and madly tore down that
street to the NJ, K. d T. crossing,
where he was stepped. When checked
up two little negro boys were found
sitting on the back end of the buggy,
having ridden all the way.
