Editor Mississippi Leader:
see some of the Democratic press
is disposed to make political capital of
the idea that several Democrats with
drew from Pleasant Hill Alliance, No.
II III August last. because the majority
of that Alliance were members of the
Peoples party, and | thought it would
do no harm to state the plain facts in
the case, which are these:
On Aug. 10th we had picnic and an
all-day Alliance meeting, and in the
afternoon something less than y a
dozen male members with their fami-
lies withdrew, stating as IA reason that
they did not feel at home among us
any longer since the Alliance had gone
into politics.
Now, mind you, these were Demo
Gratis, i'll their way OF thinking; yet
they were not willing to accord to the
majority of us the same privilege they
were exercising; that is, to think for
ourselves.
Instead however, of not being able
to keep house" without them or our
ardOr being in the least bit cooled, at
the next monthly appointment we had
better attendance and a more enthu-
siastic meeting than for a year past
and received enough members, lacking
one. to fill the vacancy made by their
exit. ALLIANCE.

COL. HOOIIEE'S CARD

In order that there may be no posi-
bic grounds for complaint of unfair
ness the LEADER has decided to give
Col. Hooker's reply to Chancery Clerk
Jones, of Claiborne, in his own Ian
guage. The only omission made is of
the certificate and affidavit of the
clerk of the house and the receipts of
the parties to whom money was paid.
and the names and amounts of these
are correctly given in a condensed
form.
There are one or two things about
Col, HoOker's showing the LEADER will
mention which will strike even the
casual reader OF the S2,135.54 for
which he holds receipts, it will be OBJ
served that $50 of it was paid out to
the legal fraternity, the rest to a Wash
ington copyist and printers, Copiah
deputy sheriff, Kinds county notary
and Copiah Justice of the Peace.
Unless witnesses received something
out of the 5000 itemized account paid
the Copiah j. p, it doesn't appear that

At Circuit court Judge Mayors did
not open court until after noon ON

Col. Hooker told the people many
good things that the party would do II
they would just give EN- l-e-e,tiG
more time. He shook the Force bill
at the people. but they wouldn't scare

Here are the terms which Tammany
Hall, acting through Chairman Muir
ply, OF the Democratic State Commit
tee of New DIRK, is reported to have
presented to MI Cleveland on his re-
cent visit to that city to have an inter
view with Croker, Murphy and Shee-
han. The ultimatum was:
He meaning Cleveland must
pledge himself on his honor to give the
regular organization the control of the
patronage or he will not receive its
support, and he will be told So"
AS Tammany Hall has since resolved
enthusiastically to support Cleveland,
and as David B. Hill has since taken
the stump for him, it is safe to assume
that the terms of the ultimatnm were
accepted "A shattered idol" indeed

from town of Hons. L. M. Miller and

was chunked with rotten eggs and com

The editor of the LEADER has twice
recently ATTENDED. public speaking at
WeSSOn. known as THE Democratic
Gibralter of COpiah," when speeches
were made in opposition to the Demo
cratic party. The first time was on
the occasion of DR.. Cranfill'S visit. and
the second during the joint discussion
of DR.. Robinson and Col Hooker on
last Wednesday night. and we DO not
feel that we can compliment the excel
lent people of that town too highly for
the courtesy, attention and conSidera-
ton shown on both occasions to those
with whom 50 many of them politically
differed. Capt. A. T. Woodin. of the
Mississippi Mills and leading Demo
crat, both times had seats arranged in

large audience. which was as respectful
and attentive as any one could reason
ably desire. Many ladies graccd each
occasion by their presence Tho PEG

class of citizens. most of the people be
ing moral and religious, and if there
are any rowdies and hoodlums there.
the senteel and not the rowdy element
is in the aScendancy. We bear this
testimony more cheerfully because the
behavior of the Wesson people has
been i'll such marked contrast to that
