An Open Letter to the Peoples Party
Men of Copiah County.

An Open Letter to the Peoples Party
Men of CopIah County.
My FRIENDS:-I was surprised and
non plussed when informed that you
had nominated me for the coming Sen
atorial contest. You we'll know it was
unsought on my part. | do not feel
competent to cope with Law and Eth
les in public debate. At best l can be
but ballast in the ship of State. l am
not physically or financially in condi-
ton to give my time to the public well
fare.
Yet, without so much as "if you
please" you have made me your
choice, and / suppose that means that
you consider me staunch advocate
of your cause. have only to say that
| stand on the important issues of
today where | have stood for twenty
years.
l have twice publicly challenged any
man in the country to prove otherwise,
when scurrilous rumors and black
mailing circulars were issued, but the
authors of such still lie in ambush
And now since the state of affairs has
reached this crisis and it seems mete
that we must be our own helpers, if
you, by honest votes will elect me, |
will with all that within me lies, serve
you to the very best of my judgment
and our universal needs.
think | fully appreciate the honor
that you would bestow upon me, but it
is sad comment on our law makers,
aye, on the voters of our county, that
simply because a man is honest and
has the nerve to stand by his convic-
tions of right that he must be called
upon to serve in such a responsible
capacity, while there are scores of 9th
ers who, with educational advantages
and natural oratorical powers, are so
far beyond your humble servant: and
for these very reasons am profound
ly grateful to an appreciative band of
cO-laborers in struggle for the up
lifting of the toiling masses.
Again, yet with all due respect to
opponents, it is lamentable fact that
our Democratic friends should ignore
us entirely. Not few of them had
been informed that if they would Sc
lect from among their numbers a far
mer, or a man who had mingled
among us and was in harmony with
our surroundings, that, at this time
we would give them a clear field. But
we have learned from experience that
man who makes law an exclusive
profession, who is governed by corpor-
atoms, who has no private interests
among the laboring classes, - we
have learned, say, that such a
man, be he as good, as honest
as broad-viewed as he may, cannot full,
ly comprehend the needs of the labor
er, for he has had no experience in
that line, and only experimental work
brings sympathy and discloses the
needed antidote for that special class
All are bound to admit that our most
earnest request has been honorable
and just, i. e., san equal showing with
other professions" So now we de-
mand our rights and will accept moth
ing less.
And, my friends, it is only question
OF time when success will crown our
efforts. Truth crushed to earth will
rise again"
just now it lies with you Individual
ly. Every man must do his own work
You know your duty! l am at your
disposal and await the result of your
votes. Very truly.
VIM. M. KETuLEY.

Mind Your P's.

Mind your p's in the following: Per
sons who patronize papers should pay
for the pecuniary prospects of the
press have peculiar power in pushing
forward public prosperity. II the
printer is paid promptly and his peck
ct book kept plethoric by prompt pay
ing patrons, it puts his pen at peace,
he paints his picture of passing events
in more pleasant colors, and the peru
sal OF his paper is a pleasure to the
people: Paste this piece of proverbial
philosophy in some place where all
persons can see it plainly.

Later-The Compromise Scheme yanisht
Into Nothingness.

WASHINGTON, Oct 23.-The much talk
ed-of compromise bill, which it had
been confidently asserted would be in
PRODUCED in the Senate to-day. has all
vanished into thin air. 1t is under
stood that this sudden change was
brought about by the attitude of Pres
ident Cleveland, who is reported to
have put his foot down on compromise
on any terms. There is great excite
ment and suppressed indignation over
this sudden turn in affairs, especially
among the Democratic Senators, who
were led to believe by those who stand
next to the President that he was at
the outset favorable to the compromise
scheme. A final settlement of the
question now seems as difficult to fore
cast as ever. The lines are reforming
and the silver men are more resolved
than ever to resist by filibustering and
every other means in their power the
efforts of the Administration and the
gold bugs to strike down the white
metal

SILVER IN THE SENATE.
A Compromise Blu Another "CowariIy
Makeshift" to Take the Place of

W Ahht AtS tatt VI
the sherman Law.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The Democrat
ic steering committee virtually COM
pleted its labors on the compromise
question bill for the repeal of the
Sherman act today. The members of
the committee admitted generally
that they had practically agreed upon
bill. 1t extends the provisions of
the present silver purchasing law I'M
til Oct. l, 1894; provides for the coin
age of silver now in the Treasury; and
also the retirement of all paper cur
rency except repeal silver certificates
below 80 There is no reference what
ever in the bill to the bond question.
Copies of the proposed bill were or
dered for the use of the members of
the Senate on both sides of the cham
Der.
Opinions differ as to when the bill
will be formally presented in the Sen
ate. Some of the Senators say it will
be introduced before Tuesday next,
but if it should appear upon inspec-
ton that it will prove acceptable to a
majority of the Senate, it may be
handed in at any time.
An additional feature of the bill
agreed upon by the Democratic mana
gers is provision for the coinage of
silver to be purchased in the future.
The Republican silver men are dis
pleased with the short limit as to
time that the Sherman law will contin-
lie in force, and will probably oppose
the bill almost to man. The Popu-
lists are also displeased with the meas
ure for the same reason.

do not hesitate to say that we con
denim such a course in Cleveland or

The second game of the present series
between the Roanokes and Charlestons
looked like sure victory for the yisi-

home team, with the aid of four errors
and two hits, made five runs and pulled
the game out OF the fire, that being
enough runs to win. UP to the eighth
inning the Charlestons played gilt. edged
ball in the field, not even having the
emblance of an error, but in this inning
they went to pieces. The playing on
both sides was sharp and at times bril-
liant, McGinniss particularly distin.
