DIR. j. B. GambrelI was in III
city last Friday, aud did the MiSSis
SippidR the honor TO call. Durlnl
his STAY tins question was put Il
him: DR.. GambrelI, the HiSSiSsip
pjGR wuaid like to have your view,
on the Senatorial contest in thi'
State, ii YOU have no objections tt
giving them?
Answer-Well sir, the question
seems 10 me to have a good many
sides TO il, and an all round discus.
sion is more than | can undertake,
but | will tell you a few things i'm
pressed on my mind by current
events. The first is, that there is
ii good deal of lack of that open
and lair discussion necessary to a
safe conclusion. Our theory of
government rests on the IDEA, that
with Il free press and free speech,
an open field and fair contest. the
whole people will see the right
and do il. Some violent attacks
on the alliance men on one side,
and dark lantern methods on the
other side tend TO diSplace all fair
consideration On the issues Of the
canvass. We need open discus
sion.
The true Democratic method j.
to boil our methods in
AN OPEN POT,

is not enough Of this in the pres
ent canvass. We are citizens OF

The grievances of the farmers

ances, and the farmers ought to

The sympathy Of all good men; for
the Alliance t. undertake to run
politics on the principle of a close
corporation will soon combine all
other PEOPLE against them and in
sure their defeat, This is as Ger
tain as The Judgment.
Ques'ion-What do you think of
the issues Of the present canvass!
AnSwer-To me it seems tha!
the issues are unfortunately being
narrowed into one, and that IA very
shaky one. The papers r full Of
the sub.treasurv. Ii is a curious
situation, as 1t has developed. No
body stands on The sub-treasury

question for consideration inside t
