CAN'T GO THE SUB-T.
Especial to Times -Democrat1
Meridian, May S.-HOn. Ethel Barks- |
dale delivered lengthy speech at the |
court house to-day in defense of the
Sub-Treasury scheme. There was an
audience of between 200 and 800, prin-
cipally from the country. He was
frequently applauded, and particularly |
so when he said that all must stick to
the Democracy and Not go Off on any
third party movement. The speaker
was interrupted once by Col. Dan Nc
Whirter, prominent planter of this
county, who told him that he had |
always been a Barksdale man, but that
he would not 20 with him on the Sub
Treasury platform. No Endorsements
We're made.
Coldwater, Miss, May 9.-At Dem !
ocratic primary here to-day for district
attorney and two members of the Ex-
ecutive Committee the issue was plainly
drawn between straight Democracy
and Sub-Treasury Alliance. The
Democracy won by a majority of
nearly three to Que, despite the appeal
Of Coal OIL Inspector Mcdowell, of
Tennessee, to the'contrary. The Pres
ident of the Tate County Alliance was
present and threw all of his influence
with the Sub-Treasury, but it availed
them nothing.
Especial to the Appeal-Avalanchc.l
Winona, Miss, May AT full
meeting Of the Democratic Executive
Committee Of Montgomery county,
held in this city to-day, and composed
of representative Democrats aud farm
ers from every district in the county,

mously adopted;
Resolved, That we fully aud earnest
ly indOrse the course pursued and the
records made by Hons. j. u. George |
and Il. q. Walthall in the Senate of the
United States, and that we contem-
plate with pride and admiration the
great ability, profound craftsmanship,
manly candor and fearless fidelity to
the interests oftheir people which they |
have manifested throughout all the
vicissltudes of their public career and |
all the responsibilities of their official
capacity, and that we do most respect
fully and urgently commend them to
the Democrats of Montgomery county
as their own proper successors.
Resolved, That invitations be ex-
tended by this Executive Committee
to Senators George and Walthall to
visit us and address the people of this
county at such time in the near future
as may suit their convenience.
Especial to Commercial IIerald.I
jackson, Miss, May 11.-To-day at
Brookhaven, Lincoln county, mass
meeting was called TO select delegates
to the State convention and express
their choice of the county for Railroad
Commissioner. After endorsing Major
Sessions, county man and tho Presi-
dent of the present commission, and
selecting the delegates, B. Z. Hobbs,
editor of the Brookhayen Leader,
offered resolution endorsing the can
didacy of Maj. BOrksdale for the United
States Senate. Previous to this Maj.
Barksdale had addressed the meeting.
Hon. II. w. Applewhite, member of
the last Legislature, and strong
opponent ofthe Sub-Treasury question,
made the point that Hobbs resolution
was out of order, from the fact that the
mass meeting was called by the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee for the
specific purposes named above. Hobbs
replied that the body was a sovereign
one and unquestionably had the right
to vote on the proposition If it saw fit
and insisted that the vote be taken.
The vote was accordingly trken, and
resulted thirty-three against and nine
for. Ii is said the Alliance, when the
test is made, will refuse to endorse the
Sub-Trcasury measure and this vote
| indicates as much.
A few more experiences like this
and the chieftain of Ia Vendee will-if
be lives up to his brave battle cry
need the litter corps. We are glad to
see that Brother Hobbs, who recently
read himself out of The Democratic
party, is back again.l
