Cold Comfort for Independents
and Sorcheads.

The total white registered vote in
this county is 1868. The number of
persons voting in the primary August
18th was 991, as shown by the COM
bined vote for the candidates for State
Senator. This shows that all but 81
of the white registered voters of the
county participated in said primary,
aud are thereby pledged to the sup
port of the Democratic nominees. As
Stunning, which we think reasonable,
that fully as many of the 377 who did
not vote in the primary will support
the party nominees as there will be
of the 991 who will be false to their
obligations, the only earthly chance
for independents would be through
the aid of about fourth of the whites
of the county combined with the solid
negro vote. As most of the whites
will be in no temper to cOuntenance
any such combination as that, and as
fully half of the negroes that are reg
istered will be unable to vote under
the Australian ballot law, which will
be in force in November, all would-be
independent and Republican candi-
dates will therefore find themselves
on a very cold trail.

In the 31st Senatorial district, COM
posed of the counties of Pontotoc,
Calhoun and Chickasaw, the delegates
met at HOulka. There were contest
ing delegations from each county. No
agreement could be effected and con-
sequently two conventions were Or
ganized. One nominated Robt. PO-
vine, of Calhoun and Jas. Gordon, of
Pontotoc, and endorsed George and
Walthall. The other nominated j.
w. Winter, of Chickasaw, and r.
Wharton, of POntotOc, and endorsed
the Sub Treasury.

The FIoatorial Convention.

The convention to nominate q
Floater Representative for Lincoln
and Franklin met at Kennolia, Frank
lin county, yesterday, Lincoln being
represented by the following dele
gates +. s. Gotten, Felix May, A. c.
McNair, J. C. Crawford, John w.
Martin, Jr., and w. A. Decell. As
each county has candidate of her
own, it is possible there may be
protracted deadlock, but in any
event, we hope the solution will he
found in the unanimous nomination of
our talented and distinguished county
man, Judge Cassidy.

In spite of the anti-Alliance press,
headed by the Nashville American,
Hon. j. II. Mcdowell, President of the
Tennessee State Alliance, refuses to
be "laid out" and the Tennessee
brethren refuse to bury him. He was
unanimously re- elected by his State
Alliance last week, which said ave
denounce and condemn the unwar-
ranted and unclean methods adopted
by some of the political press, partic-
ularly the American and Herald, of
Nashville, and the News, of Chatta-
nooga, in their efforts to break down
the organization and the social, polit-
ical and moral character of President

Let's see doesn't Mississippi have
to elect seven Congressman next yeare
1t seems to us she does, and when
that time comes, some of the present
incumbents and some of those aspir-
ing gentlemen who have sided with
the opponents of the Alliance this
year, will be found calling. upon the
hills and the mountains to hide them
from the indignation and wrath of a
betrayed people. The fight hasn't
ended yet: it has just fairly com

While at camp meeting last Monday
the editor of the LEADER was afforded
the pleasure of meeting for the first
time Mr.. S. ii. Ably, editor of the
Crystal Springs Meteor, and his esti-
mablc wife. They are tenters on the
camp grounds, and in company with
Col. Geo. j. Mortimer, it was our en-
joyable privilege to break bread with
them Monday evening and spend
quite a while in pleasant social
converse at their hospitable tent.
Bro. Ably is versatile and forcible
writer and publishes one of the best
local papers in Mississippi. To the
Meteor is due, beyond doubt, large
measure of the growth and prOsperi-
ty of the beautiful little city of Crys-
tai Strings, and the paper richly de-
serves the liberal patronage her home
and business m,h acco'u

The sixth congressional district AL
lance at its meeting in Ellisville, con-

said: ave censure the carelessness

thus permitting and rewarding dis
honest court house rings and falsify-
