MoGLAUaHERTY'S VIEWS.


Coast Beacon,
Editor Bcacon-Before political
matters get too badly cranked In this
Congressional district | wish to offer
a compromise on which | think a ma
jority of the factions will agree.
II is useless TO deny the fact that
the late convention at Pass Christian
is being "rite smartly" criticized The
Martin, Denny and Goyan people made
common cause against Stockdale--
they all voted in good faith for the
same set Of delegates, and they feel
that their delegates should have set
tied the matter OF choico among them
s~eleves,
This could have been eaily done, a
vote in caucus, each delegate voting
for first and second choice, and then
drop the hindmost man for second
choice this brings the issue square
between the remaining two. In a dead
lock OF that kind there Is no more fair
or equitable way to unlock, / have
seer the plan resorted to with salts
factory results.
Now think the Denny men should
be allowed to rejoice in the fact they
We're instrumental in securing, as re-
preventative in Congress from the
Sixth Congressional district Of Miss.
isSippl, an intelligent, broad, plain,
straight, Cleveland Democrat Il man
who will not be dominated by petty
Spollsmen or political sneeze weeds.
But at the same time let US stand
up in school, like little men, and
acknowledge that Martins candidacy
made an anti-Stockdale nomination
possible: that Martin measured the
guage of battle, handled the heavy
artillery and won the fight.
1t was said at the opneing of the
Congressional campaign two years
ago, that the only way to beat Stock
dale was to force him into public
debate and then mop the earth up
with him. Gen. VIM. r. Martin, of
Adams county, did that thing in the
highest style Of the art, and Stockdale
went to grass with the dry cattle.
Then again, let US not go into the
indignation business too heavy: if
Z. X, through the carelessness of the
printer, allows his bird to puke on the
wrong end Of Stockdale's head, that /
IS a matter between =. X. and Stock
lalc-lct's indignate slowly, people
win talk. I
If St0ckdale's followers are satisfied
With the work Of their agents at the !
Pass we should not complain. | fStock-
lale stands for anything politically,
le stands for free silver. If the Stock =
tale delegates were bound by any tie, t
the cohesive power Of public ,
it would, logically, be that :
# free silver:yet they went, ia a body,
o a man who was known to hold diff d
erent views, and a straight admin d
stratiOn man. Let Stockdalc's del =
gate and their constituency settle /
he matter. t
And now let all Democratic fac- d
ions. all white Republicans, all black y
republicans, meet on common ground, +
nd with one accord agree that the
hing that some one called a platform,
$ a platitude Of empty verbage, a
BASTARD, the illegitimatc bantling of i
10 one knows who that no one knows \
1hcn, where, or why it was born: a
lisfit that no n knows anything r
bout or cares anything for. /
Mr.. Denny, in accepting the nom II
showed his excellent good +
ensc and good taste in not referring !
0 the thing, and take it as strong )
violence that lie is not likely to dol I
nything foolish thing in Congress. il
