SUMMIT FAIR.

The editor of the LEADER Is indebted
to Secretary Mills for ticket and III
vitation to attond the South MISSISSIPPI
pi Fair which opens at Summit Oct. y
and continues until the 10Th. Also
for one of their attractive catalogues.
Liberal premiums are offered and there
will be many interesting attractions.
This fair is one of the most worthy en-
terprises of its kinl iii the South. 1t
is well managed, and gambling and
other dcmoralizing practices have been
as fully eliminated as it is practicable to
accomplish it. The LEADER has large
number of readers in that section Of
the State to whom the Fair is accessible
AMI it hopes that they will give it their
influence ana patronage. 1t Is doing
much for the agricultural and horti
cultural people down there, and vii
prove OF immense future advantage i
properly utilized.

THE OLD PARTIES.

Good men in the Democratic and
Republican parties are utterly disgust
ed with their dishonest methods, and
many of them are disposed to resent
the domination exercised over them by
the saloon.
At no past period of history has a
national campaign been characterized
by less of enthusiasm among Dcmo-
Gratis and Republicans. The managers
of these parties have settled down to a
cold-blooded campaign not OF otnca
ton but of purchase. Bribery. bold
and unblushing, is announced rs their
hope of success, and one party deliber-
ately advertiseS its purpose to furnish
satisfactory inducements" to those
who will vote its ticket. Against
such dishonorable methods the Prohi.
bition party stands as a protest AMI
| presents itself as both a remedy for
the disease and refuge for the dis
gusted. We are winning converts dai.
ly. and in the present state Of the pub.
! lie mind our case only needs hearin'
/ to gain handsome following. We
must not cease our efforts. We ought
to increase our activities and enlarge
| the field of our operations.

Clevclaud's Letter.

Grover Cleveland's letter of accept
ance does not strike us as equal to his
former productions. There is not the
same directness aud moral strength
manifest. The views of the man have
become hampered by the needs of the
politician. There are several reasons
for this. 1t is generally believed that
the tariff plank, as adopted by the
Committee on Resolutions ut Chicago,
and then rejected by the Convention,
was in closer harmony with his wishes
than the one finally adopted. The
plank in favor of repeating the federal
tax on State banks is not, it is also
generally believed, in accord with his
judgment. On both these important
issues, therefore. he has had, if this
view is correct, to practice some care
full self-restraint and measure his
words by the needs of the occasion.
But there is, we are fully persuaded,
another more serious reason for the
declining vigor of Mr.. Cleveland's pen.
His moral purpose has become cloud
ed, he has violated his own ideals of
craftsmanship, he has lost the force
and character that came from a lofty
conscious rectitude. His visit TO this
city few days ago, his supper with
Croker, Sheehan, Murphey and others,
his undoubted assurance that he would
distribute patronage in accordance
with the dictates Of the machine, in
short, his consorting with Tammany
Hall and his ignoble surrender to it,
have affected the moral strength of the
man, and the results are already visi-
BILE. Moreover the paragraph in his let
ter about sumptuary laws tells of an
other chapter of humiliation. Mr..
Messing, editor of the Illinois Stats
Zeitung, has for four years been in
forming the world that Grover Cleve-
land was defeated in 1888 because he
refused to insert in his letter of &C
ceptance a similar bid for the liquor
support. A few weeks ago Mr. Hes
sing paid a visit to Mr.. Cleveland to
urge that that mistake should not be
repeated. The Wine and Spirit ca
zette, of this city, called attention to
the visit and its purpose. The pur-
pose was accomplished and Grover
Cleveland has surrendered not only to
Talnmany Hall bat to the liquor power
of the nation, and "Ichabod" is written
on his forehead. 1t will be n painful
thing for many Thousand to believe,
bat it is too obviously the truth.-THe
Voice.

The Democrats in the 9th district
are hard pressed and are resorting to
all sorts of little dirty tricks and SLAM
ders to defeat Ratliff. Some one recent
ly wrote him a complimentary letter
from Pickcns Station. telling him that
portion of Holmes county was strong
for him, negroes and all. and inviting
him to visit them and become the guest
of A. H. Thomas. a negro school teach
er formerly Of that place, whose name
was forged to the letter Mr.. Ratlif
was away from home when the letter
reached Kosciusko, and it fell into the
hands of the pro tenn editor of his paper
the indicator, who published it. not
knowing anything about the person
whose name was signed or suspccting
that it was a forgery. The Democratic
organs at once made a great hurrah
over the letter and pointed to it as evil
dence that Ratliff was counting the ne
gro vote, and was not even averse to
social equality. Since the trick was
exposed and the facts made known, it
is hurting the Dem ocrats far worse
than Ratlif.

READ THE RECORD.

We ask every reader of the LEADER
to carefully read the Democratic rec.
ord published on first page of to-day 5
paper. It is little lengthy, but it con.
tains important information affecting
live and vital issue. We especially
want those Prohibitonists 20 read il
who haven't yet seen their way clear to
leave the Democratic party, and we
want them to answer to themselves in
all good conscience. how they can
longer consistently vote for n party
whose representative show themselves
to be greater friends TO the liquor traf-
iic than to the homes and people of the
country. Think of Catchings, and
Hooker, and Stockdaic, all candidates
for reelection, and boasting themselves
tc be members of the party that has
for one Of its chief corner stones the
doctrine OF States rights and local-self-
government, voting TO nullify aud set
at naught every State and local prohib-
itorF law In Mississippi. that the great
brewing and whisky monopoly of the
country might have open market TO-
their liquid damnation. Yes, read and
think it all over.

Gen. Weaver at Pulaski

Nashville. Tenn, Oct. S.-Gcn. Jas.
b. Weaver, Peoples party candidate for
! President, spoke at Pulaski, Tenn, to-
| day, despite the rumor that he would
be badly treated. The men WIS, made
affidavits Of his cruelty remained away
from the fair grounds, where Gen,
| Weaver poke. M, It Il thought by
some that this ayerted any trouble.
| In regard to himself and his actions
while commander of the post of 'Pula9-
XII, Gen. Weaver recited the list OF the
charges against him, naming the citi-
zens with whom he was associated. and
declared that not one thing done 10y
him was otherwise than in accordance
with the duties OF military command
er in such times. He acknowledged
that he had levied war tax of 5000 ON
the better class of citizens OF Pulaski
under orders from Gen. Dodge, and
that the money was used for caring for
the negro and white refugees in town.
In summing up his answers to the
charges, Gen. Weaver said: 'As God
is my judge, [ never did in Pulaski one
single thing here that is charged, eX-
cept the levying of the war tax. and
pronounce the charges uuqualifiedly
false. The war is over [ come on n
mission of fraternity. They said dare
not come. | knew dared come, and l
would have come had the threats been
thousand times stronger"
After Gen. Weaver had concluded
Mrs Lease was introduced and spoke
for three quarters of an hour, covering
the same points Gen. Weaver had gone
over. After the speaking was over the
speakers were escorted to the hotel by
the Peoples party leaders, taking the
train for st. Louis, and no molestation
of any sort was offered them. A detail
of citizens had been formed to preserve
orrier and put down any outbreak, but
they were not needed.
The Democrats used every means in
their power except direct threats, to
keep Weaver from going to Pulaski,
but being thwarted in this, they next
exerted themselves to keep as many
people from going to hear him as pos
sible, and afterward went through the
formality of holding mass meeting
and reiterating their slanderous
charges. They had sworn the horse
