The Electoral College of 1892.

U
Ayast amount Of misinformation about
pc Electoral College of 1892 seems to
T afloat, Now that the President has
gned the Reapportionment bill and it
law, there is need for q clear un-
etStandlng of the situation. Briefly it
ay be stated that in 1892 the Elec-
lal College will correspond with the
cfeased representation in Congress.
Or instance, Illinois will have two
ofe Presidential Electors. Nebraska
lt ne more, and SO on. The Electoral
oAege will consist of 444 mem
tts' and it will take 223 to
eel. ,ooa The Congressman chosen

Reckless Mendacity.

The last Weekly Canton Picket
contains IA half column editorial on
the visit of the editor of the LEADER
to the Madison county Alliance and
lns speech on that occasion, which is
fairly reeking with misrepresentation
and reads like the author when he
wrote it was suffering from an aggra-
waited attack of acute lunacy. TO all
who were present on the occasion re-
ferred to it furnishes its own answer.
On another page of the Picket we
find the following paragraph, which
doubtless explains the malicious men-
dacity of the article referred to, and
enables us to regard it in the light of
the highest compliment, as it is no
doubt considered by the sensible and
respectable people of Madison county:
The Picket is under obligations to
Mr.. VIM. McAllister for editorial as
sistanee this week during the illness
of our senior editor.

We attended the Democratic State
convention on the 18th, not as dele
gate, but to find out whether or not
we were a Democrat.-BrandOn Re
publican.
When man has lived 60 years and
then has to go all the way to jackson
to find out from convention of law
yers and politicians whether or not he
is u Democrat, he has no business ed
iting newspaper and presuming to
teach other people anything. Better
turn the Republican over to an old
cripple darkey, Colonel, as we suspect
ed YOU had done long ago.

4 Voice From the Country.
.tlitor BroOkhaven Leader:

Editor BroOkhaven Leader:
Will the Alliance man who is be-
lever in his platform now not have
some reason to think that the recent
action of the Democratic Convention
in downing the sO-called Sub-Treas-
ury "heresy" was an act of usurpation
of authority 7
1t is conceded that when any num-
Der of the faithful are gathered to-
gether that they have the power to
resOlute. They may express their
opinion for or against any measure or
policy, but can they make platform
of principles and order the body poll
tic to take stand thereon unless
there be first an order issued by the
proper authority and the matter can
vassed aud individuals selected and
instructions given that the wisest act
ton be taken In this we have II
body assembled for II specific pur-
pose, and behold they step aside and
transact matter of the greatest mo-
ment in hot haste matter that would
require the ablest discussion and up
on which there should have been ex-
ercised the greatest latitude of con-
servatism. This body, too, out of
touch and sympathy with those whom
they profess to act fora body COM
posed almost entirely of lawyers, who
have their associations and transact
their business that is necessary to lar-
monize and benefit their fellows of
the same calling, and when fOrsOOth
the members of another craft fOrmu
late platform of principles in the
same manner, they incOntinently con-
denim the same as heretical and un-
constitutional.
In this methinks they have arrayed
craft against craft, and indirectly the
town against the country.
But we think that for all that the
Convention has done, it has accumu-
lated less honor in its methods in a
shorter time and shown more true in.
dubitable ignorance of its mission,
and less conservative policy than any
Democratic predecessor, and although
there is hope that its doings may not
accomplish that which seems to have
been its purpose, viz, the disruption
of the Democratic party, still it will
not do to risk again on the same line.

A Prohibition Convention.

I The time has come in the Judgment
Of the Executive Committee of the
non Partisan Prohibition convention
for the friends of the legal suppression
of the liquor traffic in Mississippi, to
meet in council. Since we last met
substantial progress has been made.
The Constitutional Convention left
the cause of temperance in far better
condition than it ever was before.
We believe the public sentiment of
the State is constantly maturing
against the legalized liquor traffic. 1t
is only necessary for the friends OF
prohibition to compare views, unity
forces, and press their cause to final
success in our beloved State.
Therefore convention is called to
meet in Representative Hall, jackson,
Miss, ~ O'clock, September 8, 1891.
All who oppose the continuance of
the liquor traffic, without regard to
their party affiliations, are invited to
attend. We call on the friends OF
Prohibition in every county in Missis-
sippi to meet and send delegates to
the convention.
1t is earnestly desired that we have
very full meeting.
The Executive Committee will per-
feet arrangements for railroad rates,
and for everything needful for hold
ing the convention.

The Times Democrat Cores
DOndent Right.

The County Alliance meeting last
Friday proved fully as lively as was
anticipated, and resulted in a division
of the meeting. The question upon
which they split was resolution ex-
pressing it as the sense of the Ali
ance that members should support for
nomination no candidate for legisla-
tive Office who does not stand square
ly OH the Ocala platform. The boilers
opposed all endorsements but were
hOpelessly in the minority. The
Times-DcmOcrat correspondent, who
is member of the Alliance, fixes the
number of boilers at Z, others who
were present state that three times
that number withdrew.-LincOln
County Times.
Some people have way of hand
ling the truth very carelessly, and
that is evidently the case with the in
formants of the Times. The Times
Democrats correspondent was correct.
The number of Alliance men who
bOlted the meeting on the occasion
mentioned, was just 8 by actual count.
Two of these soon returned, explain
ing to Capt. Gotten that they had left
under a misrepresentation, which re-
duced the number to Z, as given by
the I'D. correspondent. One of this
7 was not delegate.
In conclusion we will remind the
Times that hereafter when it under
takes to convict the Times Democrat
correspondent of willful misrepresen-
tatiOn it might be just as well for it to
be certain of It's facts.

Lincoln is all right.
Franklin county holds her primary

Franklin will be added to the Banks
dale column next Saturday.
Barksdalc's majority over George
in Georges own county was over three
hundred.
The Independent says the nominee
to the Legislature from Tunica county
is not Il George man.
New post offices have been estab-
lshed at Bib, Bolivar county Boyd,
Lawrence county; and Kinton, Amite

Hon. ID. NJ. Watkins, of Marion
county, has been nominated for the

Some of the George shouters appear

not joined the Congressional syndicate

a brewery has been projected at
Nicksburg, and it is said will be put

In Carroll county the anti-George
ticket won every office in the county,
from "Dan to Beersheba," from con-
stable and justice of the peace to

ticket.
The Copiah Signal has been pur-
chased by the citizens of Hazlehurst.
Col. Louis Dupree, at one time con-

manager. The paper will be greatly
improved under the new management.
Capt. Emmett l.. Ross, editor of the
Canton Picket, died Monday night
from blOOd-poisening, superinduced
by the bite of a spider few days be-
fore. Capt. Ross was man of many
admirable qualities of head and heart
and his sad and unexpected death
will be regretted by all who knew
him.
A dispatch was sent from this place
last Saturday to the Memphis Com
mercial stating that the contest had
been virtually abandoned in this cOun-
ty by the opponents of the Sub-Treas-
ury, and that their candidates for
Representative and FlOater had with
drawn. That paper, which goes upon
the principle of coloring everything
in favor of George, headed the dis
patch in bold letters, "Sub-Treasury
abandoned"
Mr.. w. A. Henry, of the Yazoo Sen
tinel, has been agreed upon by the
executive committees of the two
counties for fioater representative
from Kinds and Yazoo. We have
known Will Henry intimately from
boyhood, and predict that the next
House of Representatives will not
contain IA more conscientious, upright
and useful member than he. With a
whole Legislature of such men, Mis-

safe hands.

they are right, just and wise, and
