The Prohibitionists and Peoples
party men have already taught the
Democrats of Mississippi one valuable
lesson, and that is lesson in political
courtesy and federation. Many Demo
Gratis are actually beginning to realize
that men can differ with them politi
cally and be honest and patriotic, and
their speakers have learned that de-
nunciation and villifcation of their
opponents will not supply the place of
facts and argument.

Money, having retired from the bust
'ness) for si6,3T0. If Mr.. Money was IA
silent partner" during these two years
that the assessed value of the property
increased so much, what becomes of his
statement that no did not receive a
dollar of the s50,o0S If he was not, the
fact still remains that under the ssnct-
ity of an oath, he united with others in
deciding property to Huntington to
which he had no title.
The last thing we will notice in Mr..
Moneys card is his denunciation. lie
recites the fact that as far back as 1857,
he denounced as a Islander any attempt
to connect this business transaction
with his action as member of Con-
gress: that when it was revived in this
campaign he had so denounced it in his
speeches in the presence of Capt. Bur
kilt and Mr.. Gore, and he concludes
by tip-toeing and trying his hand on
the editor of this paper. We confess
on first reading Mr.. Moneys card to a
momentary indignation such as every
true Mississippian is liable to feel
under such circumstances; but we
strive TO be a Christian gentleman, who
cannot afford to deliberately violate
the laws of God ana our country, and
believe in tho doctrine so eloquently
pleaded for not long since by Chief
Justice Campbell, of eXalting society
and subordinating individualism, and
so let that pass. If Mr.. Money expects to
convince an impartial public that his
conduct in this matter is above criti-
cism, he had better use more proof and
less denunciation, more facts and few
er epithets.
AS for ourself, we will not be 81
fenced nor brOw-b beaten 10y him nor any
one else in that sort of way. Facts
are stubborn things. If denunciation
instead of evidence and reason are
to decide questions of fact, all any
thief or scoundrel in the country would
have to do when accused Of wrong-do-
ing would be to get on stump or rise
in court aud denounce some body.
Boss Tweed and Jake Sharp denounced
their accusers, but they went to the
penitcntiary all the same And a dis
tingaishel fellow-coanty man of Mr..
Money once denounced District Attor-
ney r. n. Miller in the Jackson court
room in the fiercest terms, but he is
nevertheless now wearing a convicts
stripes for failing to account for
public money entrusted to his keeping.
We have not impugnel Mr.. Moneys
motives nor charged him nth corrup-
ton, and do not do so now, but we reitcr-
ed that his record in this matter is not
above suspicion, and that no party nor
people. with the lights before them,
should send such man to Congress.
A Mississippi Legislature and Missis-
sippi Constitutional Convention have
assumed that a Governor or Supreme
Judge may be influenced in his official
acts by the acceptance of railroad
pass and forbidden any officer of this
State under penalty to accept such
"courtesies." Why then should Con-
gresham be above suspicion of wrong
influence, who borrows $4,000 from a
railroad magnate whose scheme he has
helped to advance?

The Copiah Signal of last week pub
fishes the proceedings OF Democratic
club meeting which was held at Rock
port, Copiah county. DIR. E, A. Rowan,
of Beauregard, and J. b. Arlington
Esq, an attorney of Huzlehurst, are re-
ported as having addressed the club.
after which the report goes to say, the
following resolution was adopted by a
unanimous vote, with the request that
same be published
Whereas, Certain so-called reformers
of our State, county and community are
using incendiary and communistic lam
guage which we believe is melting the
ignorant and wicked to theft, arson and
murder; therefor be it
Resolved, That we caA-en all good
citizens to aid us in suppressing this
dangerous and vicious element, not
with bullets, but, with ballots.
The report of the proceedings is
signed by VIM. Smith, President, and
J. I. Afford, Secretary.
The LEADER takes it upon itself to
brand the allegations above as an in
famous and unwarranted SANDER, de-
signed to supply the place Of fair and
honorable argument and cast suspicion
and reproach upon class of Missis-
sippians in every respect as honorable,
patriotic and worthy as the authors of
this resolution. and who would scorn
to stoop to such despicable detraction
to uphold their cause. And we fur
Their call upon Mr.. Smith and Mr.. AL
ford, or any one else who was at the
meeting, to cite tho proof to sus-
tain their reckless allegations. They
owe it to their own reputation to do
this, or else have the manliness to re-
tract what they have said.
p. S.-Since the above was written we
have received the proceedings of the
Gallman Peoples party club, published
elsewhere, in which this miserable SLAM
der is referred to in befitting terms.

MECHAHICsBURG, Oct. 18th-poli+;o,,
matters are getting to be active ~
nazoo. Both parties are advocating
their respective claims ana candidates
on every occasion. The Democrats
have made the second trial AZ tbis

inst. a joint discussion at Robinett's
tcalled Monkey town for short Vac

Robt. Campbell and T. Il. Campbell for
the Democrats; Lumbley aking the
first speech, followed by Campbell and
Campbell with Maj. Bell to bring I'm tbe
rear. The Cdmels with their Tcar-off
and Force bill arguments tried to lead
the Monkeys las the people there are
sometimes styled but when the
Monkeys put the Bell Oh the Camels
they not being used to that kind of
noise, they couldn't stand the racket
mo extra charge for the last sentenceI
The people in that precinct claim
that they will give Ratliif 50 or s. votes
out of 100 registered
The Democrats, some OF them 1t
least, think it is perfectly awful for
the Peoples party to petition for cleo
ton supervisors. If there is no noces-
sity for them then no party or person
will be the worse off by having them.
On the other hand, our committees
have requested the State Board of
Election Commissioners to give us one
out of three of the county Election Com
missioners and in this county as well
as many other counties, it has been re-
fused and members of party that has
no organization in this State have been
appointed. Why is this thusly?

my canvass in this district, yet my

the people advised to keep away, tell
ing them, it was trick to get the Re
publicans in power, and many other
grounded assertions
But all this, is to no effect, as the
people are ''tumbling to the racket very

DIR. NJ. L. Henry writes that there is
a good deal of indignation expressed
over the appointment of election COM
missioners in Union county. j. G.
Patterson was recommended by the Peo-
pies party, and at the instance of
Democrats, the recommendation was dis
regarded by the State Board and an
other man put in his place. The Peo-
pies party men think if they are to be
recognized at all, they are entitled to
the same courtesy in regard to their
recommendations as the Democrats.

Col. Hooker dealt in vituperation and
abuse. DR.. Robinson said nothing from

any one. Democrats give him credit
for the manly way he conducted the
discussion. Weaver will carry this
county and Robinson will run ahead
of the ticket, notwithstanding H. b.

The Doctor was mild, pleasant and ar
gumentative, showing conclusivly the
the desperate condition of the labor
ing classes and how by the form of law
their hard earned dollars are filched
away from them and turned over to

bloated bondholders. He showed how
the will of the people had been ignored,
their sufferings UNDECIDED, and that
the nightly political tidal wave which
swept over the the whole country two
years age, putting 149 Democratic ma
jority in the lower house of Congress,
had accomplished but little, save
giving to the manufacturers of high
priced clothing, free wool; thus com
peliing oar farmers with their small
tlocks to compete with the free wool
from Australia and South America,
without reducing the price of the
manufactured goods to the consumer.
A Democratic bonus to the money pow

ing desperate all over the country, and
hence it behooved us to act so as to
to touch upon the half he said, but all
was said without any attempt to arouse
passion or prejudice. He let the past
alone, and argued for the present and
future of our whole country, showing
that a solid South would keep the
North solid also.
