Chrisman and Cassidy.

AS we go to press we learn Chat a
call is being circulated soliciting
Judge Chrisman and Hon. H. Cassidy
to consent to the use of their names
as candidates for delegate to the
Constitutional Convention - Judge
Chrisman as the delegate from this
county and Judge Cassidy from the
State at Large.
Since receiving DR.. Conerly's let
ter of declination, the editor of the
LEADER has made it a point to dis
cuss the delegate question with rep
rescntative citizens from all sections
of the county in attendance upon
court, and the decided concensus of
opinion is, that Judge Chrisman
would be the popular favorite over
any man in the county. The people
have confidence in his ability, in his
integrity, in his Democracy and in his
patriotism, and they know he is a
true friend Of the masses OF the peo-
pie, and may be fully trusted.
On the other hand, expressions
come from every quarter in favor of
Judge Cassidy for the State at-Large.
If he consents to become candidate,
he W ill be enthusiastically endorsed
by the Democracy of Lincoln for
that position, and will no doubt re
ceive the nomination at Jackson on
June 18th.
Other counties in the State are
bringing forward their greatest men.
Let Lincoln cast aside all class preju-
dice and side issues of every kind
and do likewise. With Applewhite,
Chrisman and Cassidy in the COnven-
top the Lincoln delegates would
easily rank as the peers of any in
that hody
The Brookhaven leader., 1890-05-22

There is no time for discOrd among
the people in selecting candidates.
The Constitutional Convention will
be the grandest and most responsible,
body that ever assembled in the State.
1t will have class and character of
work before it, that never came be-
fore any other body of men in Missis-
sippi. Other Constitutional Conven-
tions have been held, and have done
their work, but they assembled and
labored under totally different state
of affairs. Times were different, ques-
tons were different and conditions
were different. All these have now to
be harmenized and to accomplish this
and to produce the hoped for results,
will require tire very best thought
and soundest wisdom of the State.

Letter From DR.. Connerly,

Editor Brookhaven Leader:
In your issue of May the Sth. ap.
pears a communication from the Sc
cretary of Mt. Moriah Alliance, which
says: "The question of delegate to
the State Convention being called,
Mt. Moriah Alliance endorses the
action of Felder's School House Alli-
ance as published in the LEADER Of
the oath inst"
Folders School House Alliance, of
which | am member, passed res
Olutiou endorsing me as o candidate
for the Constitutional Convention.
| do not desire to be candidate,
and have no aspirations for that or
any other office. Family Affections,
which require my personal attention.
and professional duties, preclude my
acceptance, should the honor be con-
ferred on me. There are other men
in the county better versed in Con-
stitutional law than am, who would
discharge the duties of that impor-
tant trust as true representatives of
the people.
This is time when prejudice
should yield to patriotismy and all
classes labor for the good of the
country and future prosperity of the
State.
Last year the Alliance came neaf
producing a disintegration of the
democratic party; and it appears the
same want of harmony may prevail
again, to the injury of the county.
While the Alliance has an inherent
right to take action in political affairs
for the establishment of better and
purer form of government, to merge
it into a political or partizan organi-
cation would destroy it's usefulness.
oppose any one whom the demo
cratic party will not endorse; and ia
vor the nomination of man for the
Constitutional Convention who will
represent us on democratic principles;
one whose nomination will meet with
the approval of the entire party.
Yours truly,

Agrees With the Leader.

Ministers of the gospel have as
much right to take proper interest in
politics and good government as any
other class of citizens, and it is very
seldom that any of the ministers in
this section transcend the bounds of
propriety in this respect. Bishop
Galloway, Rev. j. b. Gambrell and
other ministers who have so far given
expression to their views in regard to
the coming Constitutional COnven-
ton and the important issues now be-
fore people, have done so in an able
and patriotic manner, and in so doing
have in no way infringed upon their
ministerial calling, or forfeited the
respect of the people due them as
such - Vicksburg Post.

A Question of Sentiment and
Statesmanship.
May, 1890.

Hon. J. J. Slack, district attorney OF
the 3rd district, says in an interview
with the Memphis Commercial: 81
would not favor any plan of ballot re-
form that would cut any old Confed-
crate soldier out, if that same plan
placed all the negroes back in Africa
Men who talk that way are too mar
row. minded to walk a stage plank
and are not qualified to deal with any
great problem.
Some of the newspapers of Capt.
Stacks district appear tie be good
deal exercised over the above para
graph which appeared in the LEADER
of April oath. In reading the Cap
tain's interview the portion quoted
struck us as being the utterance either
of man of very narrow mind or of a
designing demagOgue, and as we al
ways endeavor to place the most char
itible construction on mems words and
acts, we preferred to believe it was the
former.
From what those who know him
say, Capt. Slack is a very affable, clev-
er gentleman, but if his interview
may be taken as fair measure of the
man, he is anything but a practical
statesman.
We venture the assertion that a
large number of old Confederate SOL
diers could be found in the State who
would voluntarily surrender their
right to vote, if by so doing there
might be secured lawful, peaceful
and permanent solution of the race
problem that would insure white SUI
premacy. Demagoguery and mere
sentiment must be left out of any Sc
rious consideration of the suffrage
question, and only patriotism and the
broadcast craftsmanship be allowed to
have full sway.

Of the four surviving members of
the Mississippi Press Association who
were present at its organization in
1866, three were in attendance at West

Ellisville New South, and Capt. p. X.

wing member, was not in attendance,

Lottery Advertising.

The Gruokhaven LEADER assails the
Clarion-Ledger for running the Louisiana
Lottery "ad,S and sAys not word about
bis friend Of the Mississippian. who runs
the same "ad."-Ripisy SeRtiaei
Certainly not, they are brother
prohis, and il is all right for the
Mississippian to publish 1t, but 1t Is
murder in the first degree for an anti
prohi. paper to do so.-SHbsOiler Il
Democrat.
The above effort to convict the
LEADER of Inconsistency and PARTIAL
ity is not borne ont by the facts, as
the following paragraph from our is
sue of March 2sth shows:
The Clarion-Ledger and New Miss
issippian are making it warm for the
Jackson gamblers, and say they must
go. That's commendable, but these
esteemed journals would have good
deal more elbow rooni for fighting
the Jackson gamblers if they would
leave out of their columns the adver-
tisement of that huge gambling con-
Germ, the Louisiana Lottery, which is
doing more to promote the spirit of
gambling in the country than all the
card players combined. Don't strain
out gnat and swallow camel, gen
tlemen.
True. the LEADER has given great
ef prominence to criticism Of the
Clarion Ledger on this subject than
to the New Mississippian, but it was
not due to partiality. 1t was because
the C.-L., though the official journal
of State that interdicts lotteries and
the sale of lottery tickets, and both of
it's proprietors prominent members
of the church, carries lottery adver-
tisements regularly and was the first
paper in Mississippi to speak depre
ciatingly of Senator Martins bill to
prohibit lottery advertising in the
State.
1t is due Col. Power, one of the
prOprietors of the Clarion Ledger, to
say in this connection, that for years
before the consolidation of the two
papers, his paper, the Clarion, did
not advertise lotteries, and that lie
claims part of the credit for the in
PRODUCTION of Senator Martins bill,
but some how or other he seems to
have been Powerless to prevent the
bill from being spoken slightingly of
in his own paper, or to control the
advertising columns since the con-
sOlidation.
The LEADER has no apology to
offer for the New Mississippian on
this subject, and does not hesitate to
say that in it's opinion the N. NJ. or
any other newspaper that carries a
lottery advertisement lacks just that
much of what it ought to be to find
welcome place at the family fire.
A religious body that met in this
place recently, representing a cOnstit-
uency of $500 commandments, passed
resolutions strongly condemning
newspapers that carry lottery adver-
tisements, and recommended to the
people the withdrawal of patronage
from all such papers.
1t is safe to say that public senti-
ment will demand that the next Leg
islature, and may be the Constitution
al Convention, will take the matter
in hand and make an end of it.

DR.. Conerly Declines.

A letter from DR.. c. p. COncrly,
declining to become IL candidate for
delegate to the Constitutional Con-
vention, will be found in another col
umn. The letter is an honor to its
patriotic author, and were it not for
the fact that the Doctor places his
declinatiUn on the grounds of family
Affections and professional duties,
the people would he justified by the
good sense and sound democracy of
his letter, in pressing the nomination
upon him in spite oft.
DR.. COnerly is in full accord with
the views expressed by the LEADER
of the Sth inst, and like the good
Alliance man and true Democrat that
he is, recognizes the fact that the
Alliance should not usurp the func-
tons of a political party and thereby
work detriment to it's own Organiza-
ton and jeopardize the harmony of
the party through which it proposes
to act. Well does he say: "This is a
time when prejudice should yield to
patriotism, and all classes labor for
the good of the country and the flu
ture prOspe rity of the State"

DIR. j. b. Gambrell Declines to
Become a Candidate.

In reply to numerous solicitations
from all portions of the State to be-
come a candidate for delegate to the
Constitutional Convention from the
State at large, Rev. DR.. J. B. Gam
brcll has written the following letter
to prominent gentleman in South
Mississippi, who authorizes it's pub
LEGATION:
MERIDIAN, MISS, May Is, 1890.
DEAR SIR:-In answer to your in
quiry permit me say in brief: hold
that no good citizen has right to say
positively that he would not serve in
the Constitutional Convention, if his
fellow citizens should elect him to do
so, but for myself, l feel at liberty to
say, that it would be next to impossi-
BILE for me to give my time to the
convention. My present engagements
will require all my time mp to August
the first and likely beyond that date.
My long neglected private business
demands my attention. Therefore,
it would be at great sacrifice, If
were to serve in the convention.
But. beyond this, my feeling is,
that can do more for the people out
side than inside the convention. In
no case could agree to hamper my
self with candidacy. AS things are,
am free to speak my convictions,
but as candidate my friends might
wish me to be more polite. i am not
insensible to the honor conferred on
me by some good men and papers,
but the above expresses my mind.
Yours truly,
j. b. GAMBRELI.

All the sacks were very rotten. and
