Cleveland and Blaine.

The Memphis Appeal-Avalanthe
and many other tending papers of the
country think the tamphigr IF 1892 is
destined To I've the campaign of 1884.
Somr nr the same actors will I've in TIE
east. The Republicans have no ont
LEI; lar Elaine and they cannot afford
To- igrorr him; tho Democrats must
nominate ClrtriuNd or fo0lishly cash
:tr th, -rurial who has made victory
possible. aud who has led them so
wisely thus far. Both MIR. Blaine and
Mr.. Cleveland occupy HniuuC positions
in Anrrican n,:itirs. There is one
greet hifirftuce in their relative atti-
tubes toward their respective PARTIES.
Blaine is strong because Ills party is
weak and he is their only hope.
Cleveland is strong because his party
is strong. and because, following out
the lines laid down 10y him; has made
il strong. Blaine is the only hope OF
Tx Republicans; Cleveland is the on
~ man who will satisfy the Democrats
There are politicians and tuft Hunters
ia New York who do not like HIM be-
cause he is honest, and for these the
people of the country have very little
regard. Those who do not dicket and
trade in office and office holding will
see to it that New York opposition to
Cleveland IN 1892 Will he treated as
was New York opposition to him in
1891. Unless providentially prevent
cd, the heads of the opposing tickets
will be Cleveland and Blaine. and
Cleveland will win.

The Baptist Record on the New
Constitution.

Taken all Tbund the new Constitu-
ton is far better than the old one,
though not MS good rs 1t should I've.
We we're for the Convention with oil
our heart, and mainly because it was
rettain that things could not he made
worse.
Caudor comlrllS us to SAY that the
Sufiiugp part of it is far from what il
ought tu hc. II is much more II mush
pouliicc than remedy. 1t paliates.
hut does not cure. "The understands
ing clause" is an nndisguiscd, though
thinly yelled piece of political trick.
cry. After the most plausible defense
that ,.au he made of the clause, it re-
mains a blur on the new Constitution.
1t was made to let III some illiterate
white voters, we are told, but hole
( that VIII let in white eat will let in a
/ black eat too, unless there is some de
vice for shutting off the black cat.
| With human nature as it is, the first
effect of it will I've tn keep ont the H.
litcratc negroes; but in close elections,
with partisan officers this clause will
/ elect one set of white men and defeat
another. In the long run, corruption,
/ bitterness and blood shed will result
/ We will not see much of it for Il time:
/ but it will come as certain as water
runs down hill. We deplore it, and
all the more, as the suffrage was the
leading issue and So vital to our fu-
ture. The State might have been pnt
above the lighwater mark of danger;
but 'lIe Convention was not equal to
the task III hand.
On the TEN perance question, as has
been before written, the Convention
was Handicapped. An unfortunate dis
agreement among prOhibitionists fur
nished politicians an excuse for yield
ing to pressur from the bad side.
Bnt we gained ground. The old Con-
stitution tied the saloons on to the pub
lie schools. This made strong APP
peai to the negroes and some white
people. The new Constitution is
wholly cOlorless Old the license ques-
ton. A scheme to tie the saloon in
the Delta on to the levees anti thus
debauch the public. sentiment of the
valley forever was defeated. We de-
sire TO express thanks to Senator
George for his influence to defeat this
hurtful policy. 1t is now an open
field and fair fight from this time or.
The inhibition of the debauchihg
tthitehtiary leasing system is itself
worth all the Convention cost and
more. Even very well informed peo-
pie have but little conception of the
influence the leasing sys-
TEN has had On the politics of the
State. The Convention has done Il
notable service to abolish it.
There are many other improvements
which we can not mention in detail.
But, we repeat. take it all round, and
the Convention has made a Constitu-
ton far above the old one. 1t remains
now for every good citizen to give
loyal support to it without any regard
to whether he favors all it's provisions
or not,
The Brookhaven leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1883-1891, 1890-11-20

Referring to Senator Georges au-
thorship of the understanding clause
in the Franchise Article the Natchez
Democrat says: eve assert then if
Senator George has foisted upon the
State ii clause in the Constitution
which its press and intelligence has
condemned, he has himself been con-
demned and by the rules governing in
the matter of selecting representa-
tives, the people should he represent
ed in his successor by one who is more
in accord with their views. We
might go on and prove in many ways
what Senator Georges course in the
convention has to do with the L. S.
Senatorship, were it necessary-but
he has been shown by the late nation
al election to be behind in his knowl-
edge of the politics of the day, to he
out of touch and sympathy with the
people, and advanced thought, 70,
while he was setting up scare crows
and ghosts and inventing expedients,
the people all over the land were pre-
pairing to settle the race question in Il
national and determined way that OBJ
waited the necessity of stamping Mis-
sissippi with the mark of fraud and
insincerity."

The Eaf.fHers, .iilinnce.

The first Farmers Alliance of the
present was organized in Parker coun-
ty, Texas, July %, 1879. The Organi-
cation is now about eleven years old,
and compared with the past growth Of
revolutions, is in its infancy. During
this time it has spread, and now COW
ers the United States from the Atlant-
ic to the Pacific, and from the Calf 20
the Canadian border, aud Numbers
over ! 1000, 900 members. The declar-
atoms of principles resemble those of
our forefathers, and are based upon
the teaching of the Holy Bible.
With these principles and the great
oppression confronting us we would
think it Il wonder if the Alliance did
not attract to its ranks every farmer
in the land. There are many fartifers
who have not yet appreciated the
great work to be accomplished. but
they will in the future, and thus the
Alliance will continue to grow and
prosper it will overpower the mo-
element that is each sue
ceedingyear Tightening its grasp upon
Reproductive interests the country.

Almost Equal.

The Cincinnati Enquirer figures il
ont this way:
Now the Southern States ttountina
in Delaware) have a total representa-.
ton in Congress of 121, of which lis
are Democrats, as elected last Tues
day. Blot these all out-blot the
whole South Out-and the Democrat
ic majority in the next House would
still be from twenty to twenty five.
1t is the North that has declared for
the popular cause-for the Democrat
ic party
1t is the North which leans over to
shake hands with the South in com
mon effort for the reformation, the
safety and the glory of this great ma

The Aberdeen Examiner shows by
the new census returns that the net
increase of population in the black
counties in Mississippi is 1882, and
a net gain in the white counties of
77,64S, or an excess of gains in white
counties over gains in black counties
of 1876. In the face of the general
apprehension that Mississippi had be-
come almost hopelessly negroized in
the last 10 years, these figures are de-
cidedly comforting and reassuring.

BRIEF NOTES.

Quite large number of persons went on
the Truckee excursion last night.
Timothy Lee, the present Chief of Police,
assured a RECORD UNION reporter yesterday
that he positively was not candidate for
denomination for that Office.
Grand Lecturer Ahern of Bakersfield and
District Deputy Grand President Leon Den
merry of San Francisco are in the city, WIS.,
iting the local parlors of the Native Sons.
The Governor yesterday appointed Fred
@. Miles, of Placer, member of the State
Board Of Horticulture, from the Seventh
Ell Dorado District, vice n. P. Peck, re-
signed.
1t has been published that ticket No. 149
won the diamond ring OF the Sisters festi-
val. This is an error, 134 being the lucky
number. The person holding this number
can get the ring from Mrs. P. W. Cafferty.
City Attorney Church claims that he was
not requested by the Trustees TO report to
that body on the question of the liability
of grocer Schaden for overcharges for goods
sold the city. He intimates, however, that
the city would find it no easy matter to get
the money back.
Billy Hennessy undertook last night to
stop in six rounds one of the numerous
colored Turner's who occasionally show up
in the fistic arena. The affair came off at
a downtown resort. For two rounds the
colored man held his own pretty well, and
came near getting in couple of terrific
right swipes on Hennessy's head.
Had one of them landed the latter would
probably have gone out, but he cleverly
lodged them. In the middle of the third
round Turner went down in his corne r
from q short-arm blow, and sat on the
floor till he was counted out. Hennessy
got in the most clean blows. Neither man
WAS at all injured
