FOR CONGRESS-Dem. ticket.
JOHN S. WILLIAMS,
of Yazoo County.
THOSE RESOLUTIONS.
of Yazoo County.

Last week THE STAR contained
some resolutions adopted by the
Attala Pupulites which we publish
ed, not only because we were re-
quested to do SO by the convention,
but because we wished to give our
readers a treat that was rich, rare,
and racey. Those Of us who have
never seen a dime museum can now
console ourselves with the thought
that we have seen in those resolu-
tons a freak, the counterpart of
which can not be found even in the
rarest collections. They are fun
ny, awfully funny; warranted to
drive away the blues every day in
the week and twice on Sunday.
Mr.. Miles !. Claitor was the au-
thor of those resolutions. In fact
he seems to have engineered the
entire convention, having intro
duced no less than three long and
airy sets of resolutions. Against
him we have nothing to say. He
us great and good man and states
man, whom we admire for his sim
plicity He feels, and no doubt
he is correct, that he is destined to
rank high in the counsels of the
nation. If he lives long enough,
and if his party lives long enough,
and if it shows proper judgment
and the proper influences are
brought to bear, Mr.. Claitor will
be nominated for Congress and |
then he will undoubtedly be elect
ed if he gets votes enough.
But to return to our mutton. A
great light came upon the conven-
ton and it unanimously resolved
that "The Peoples party has been
defeated in the last Two elections, as
we believe, solely on account OF the
Incidence of the voters in not turn
ing out" In this sentence the
Poppies are SO wonderfully candid
that we are forced to believe they
did not realize what they were re-
solving. In accusing their party of
Incidence they make charge that
can be proved or the most of them.
MANY of them are indolent-very
indolent-and it was extremely I'M
generous in the convention to tell
it on them, Some Of them are too
ihdolent to pay their poll tax and
therefore when the election comes
on they are "'indolent" about vot-
ing. THE STAR has also noticed
70 its sorrow that some Of them are
too indolent to pay their newspa-
per subscriptions. We are glad to
know that their neglect was due to
Incidence. Hereafter when Pop
gets behind with US we will send a
bottle of patent lnYlgorator with
each dun.
The convention also originated
he great scheme of organizing a
,ampaign committee "for the pur-
rose of securing literature and dis

been outrageous. Instead of a Court
