Two Mistakes.
T. Quite respectable concourse of citl-
zens met Gov. Sheppard on his return
from the convention last Friday night
and escorted him to the Court House,
where they had little jollifcation.
There were only two mistakes made in
the:programme; one was having the
DEMONSTRATIONS at all, thus making it
appear that the towns and villages as
contradistinguished from the country
people favor Sheppard. for he can't
afford to let that impression get
abroad seeing the country has large
majority of the yotesss The other mis-
take was having so many "coons" in
it. We don't want any s.coons" in this
race. 1t will be sad day for the white
people if the scoons"- are lugged into
politics this year, but sadder still for
the "coons."
