much promised free coinage by the
Republican and Democratic parties,

solutions to this too long pending and
important question. Aud free ceiu-
age the people must and will have, Il

Already the vicious and unoalled
for prescription of silver by the Fed

silver mines, cut the wages of the toll
ing masses, put check on a leading
industry. in nearly one-hah the coun-
try end thrown thousands of deserv-
ing and needy men out of employ
ment. ......
And these grand old pioneers of the
Pacific States and Territories; men
who by their indomitable pluck and
energy, have added millions OF wealth
to the general government and made
it possible and even profitable to
settle up the barren wastes of the Tar
west are now insultingly alluded to

tSmpttble nGn-prdaucinG gold bug
pigmies who so unfortunately enjoy
the opportunity to misrepresent the
interests Of the people and have a

The Republican National Convention
met at Minneapolis Tuesday, with
every State and Territory represented
Ivy full delegation. and some of them
two. The lines are sharply drawn be-
tween Harrison and Blaine factions
and the Secretary's resignation has in
tensified this feeling.
j. Sloat Fassett, of New York, a
Blaine man, was elected temporary
chairman Tuesday and various com
mittecs appointed.
The Committee on Permanent organi-
zation reported yesterday, recommend
ing Hon. VIM. Mckinley for permanent
chairman and the report was adopted.
William made a speech in which he
praised his bill.

Both the factions are encouraging

that the Alger men hold the balance OF

A BASIS OF UNION
Common Ground ON which Prohibition
and Peoples Party Men Could
Come Topcthpr

Come Together.
Editor Mississippi Leader:
As there is considerable talk about
the union of the Prohibition and Peo-
pies parties, | think it may not be
amiss for me to state what ] think the
Prohibition party is willing to do, and
not do. We are anxious to give the
right hand of fellowship to any party
that appreciates principle more than
a name, and has Il sound platform with
Prohibition, State and National. rs a
| leading issue. OF course the Peoples
party is divided on Prohibition, as all
ton party. 1t remains to be seen what
sort of platform the Peoples party
will settle on.
/ 1t has been suggested that we might
unite in our State elections. This
might be done if they will give us u
guarantee that they will not serve us
as the Democrats have done. repeated
ly. side-track us on local option and
high license. We cannot and will not
accept or approve any law that recog-
nizes liquor license to whip the sa-
loon with, nor affiliate with party
that favors it. 1t looks too much like
uniting with Satan to whip the devil.
The devil, whisky men and politicians
combined never invented greater de
vice than local option and high license.
! lDca 1,
overthrow of the liquor curse, which is
the object of all earnest Prohibition
lists.
1t is not difficult to see how readily
they took to this delusion, when we
remember the power of the combina-
ton that invented it held on the peo-
pie. The devil, with his instrument.
the liquor saloon, held the politician,
and the politician held control over
the people.
The unrest and rising up of the peo-
pie is a good indication. 1t means
that we are waking up to the fact that
we are led and controlled by corrupt
party leaders who are influenced by
the rum power, the money power and
the love of office That such is the
cause of the uprising, no intelligent
person can doubt; but what is to
come of it depends upon the honesty
and wisdom of the leaders of these re
forms.
The people want an honest govern
ment. as our fathers intended. that pro-
tects us in our civil and religious rights,
that takes care of our morals and pro-
tects the home from the enemies of its
peace and happiness. 1t may be said
that we have such government. but
the trouble is we have not the party
to enforce it. Who ever heard of a
President of either of the old parties,
or a Governor of any of the States call
ing the attention of Congress or of the
Legislature to the Constitution of the
United States, as interpreted by the
decisions of the Supreme Court. They
sit back on the dignity of their office,
with an eye single to their party, and
when a liquor license law is passed
they sign it.
If reformers will unite on a clean,
honest platform of principles. clearly
expressed and see to it that the devil
and politicians are not allowed to in
trude methods to G"fcat tho objects.
they will eventually succeed. Meth
DDS can be better settled when party
is fully organized on solid basis.

SPECIAL NOTICE.
To the Friends of Reform.

\ good many persons will receive
copies of this issue of the LEADER who
arc not subscribers. Their names have
been furnished us 10y friends as persons
III sympathy with the main lines of re
form the paper expects to champion
and who would be likely to become
subscribers if they could see a sample
copy and their attention specially call
ed to the subject To all such we say.
we wish you to become regular sub
scribers and we ask you to send us the
subscription price and begin at once.
The paper needs your patronage and
we believe you need or will need it.
Our principal object in removing the
LEADER to jackson, after publishing it
nine years in Brookhaven. was to Sc
cure more advantageous position.
where we could furnish the people of
Mississippi with a reform paper that
is absolutely unfettercd and independ-
ent of partisan and official influence.
1t has been IA cherished ambition to
offer the people of the State an oppor-
tunity to have such IA paper at their
State Capital Now that we have done
this. the responsibility for its ultimate
success or failure is largely with them.
The paper lived several years at Brook
haven on boycots and abuse, but that
sort of diet. without variety. becomes
unpalatable.
You will obtain fair idea from this
issue. of the general character of the
paper We do not expect to please
every body, and we will be entirely |
frank and say further we do not eX-
pect to please dHybody all tie time;
but the paper will always be found
headed right ON all of the main trunk
lines of reform. and standing shoulder
to shoulder with the best people of the
State in whatever tends to the moral.
-
material and political welfare of the
commonwealth.
Money on subscription may be for
warded either by registered letter.
postottice money order, or simply en-
closed in a letter. at our risk, and re
ccipt will be promptly acknowledged
1t will be taken as a special favor if
old friends and subscribers will assist
us in their respective localities in in
PRODUCING the paper by sending for
sample copies and inducing others to
subscribe. Address,

The hour at which the LEADER goes
to press forbidsGny extended comment
on the platform adopted by yesterday S
Democratic State Convention. Sum
med up in a sentence it is an appeal to
sectional prejudice, an artistic straddle
on the financial question, and, when it
is remembered that the Democrats
have had "a majority in every House of
Representatives. except two since 1874,
its arraignment of the Republican
party for class legislation and profit
gate waste of the public revenues, is
like Satan rebuking sin.

After the delegation to Chicago, the
Presidential Electors for the several
districts and members of the execu-
tive committee had been filled with
men outside the Alliance, Hon. c. b.
Howry stated tin SUBSTANCE that Capt.
Burkitt must be nominated for one of
the two electors at large as bait to
catch the Alliance men who are ready
to go into the new party. Again the
LEADER remarks that the farmers are
not all suckers.

Would Mako n Good One.

The Rev. A. A. Lomax, of Copiah, is
mentioned as a suitable person to rep
resent the eth district in the 53rd Con
gress. We had not thought of him as
"a congressman, but think he would
make good one.-Mognolia Gazette.
Bro. Lomax is loyal Prohibitionist
and good Alliance man, and if the
Peoples party men and Prohibition
lists unite, they can elect him over any
man the opposition may put up.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1892-06-09

Hon. A. j. McLaurin thinks the pro
vision of the new primary election law
unconstitutional which provides that a
man who takes part in primary meet
ing of one party and then votes anoth-
er ticket, is liable to conviction for
fraudulent voting. No legislature
would have the right to say that man
should not change his political creed,
says Mr.. McLaurin.

heads in the lions mouth went home
looking sold ont and detected.

The "red-necks" and "hill-billics,' as
they are classically called, were like
