There is not III the South a more
earnest advocate of sound mouey than
Gov. Stone of Mississippi, and there
is good reason to believe before the
congressional elections are held next
year large following will rally to
the standard which he has raised
Yeseday he left sick bed TO attend
meeting at Jackson for the purpose
of forming a Sound Money League
In the course of the speech which he
delivered he said that he would
greatly prefer defeat for the United
States Senate than to see the unlimit-
ed coinage of silver adopted by the
United States government. No mat
Ter how siubbornly the silverites of
Mississippi may oppose his financial
views, we are quite sure they will
respect Gov. Stone as an honest and
sincere man who has the courage of
of his convictions, and will refrain
from any unjust criticism OF him.
Without regard to whether he is
right or wrong on the financial quest
ton, Gov. Stone should be election
TO the Senate of the United States,
because by reason of his honesty,
purity and ability as statesman he
would in that body reflect honor and
credit on his party and his staten.

CANDIDATES SPEAK.

AT Mississippi City this week
the can lidates for governor gave
the voters of this county an oppor,
tunity of hearing them. On Mon
day Jas. X. Vardaman and A. j.
McLaurin delivered addresses, and
on Wednesday Hon. II. q. McCabe
explained his position upon the is
sues of the campaign.
Mr.. Vardaman's speech was de.
livered in the most beautiful lam
guage, and as an orator we believe
he is today without a superior in
the State. His position on the sill
yer question is contrary to ours,
but on the school issue we agree
with him, and his stand on this was
highly pleasing to the large audi,
ence.
Mr.. McLaurin's efforts did not
come up to the expectations of his
friends and admirers, and while his
speech, from a silver view, was IN
teresting and instructive, he failed
to sustain the high reputation as
an orator with which he has been
credited. The fact is we believe too
much was expected of the man and
under other circumstances his
words would have had more effect,
but following as they did the su-
preme eloquence of Vardaman they
fell with little impression upon the
minds Of an audience which had
been carried to the highest pitch of
expectation by the deep and con
vincing arguments of his prede.
cessOr.
On Wednesday Fl. G. McCabe,
the only candidate for governor
who is opposed to the free and un-
limitee coinage, spoke for an hour.
His speech was was We'll received,
and the facts he presented satisfied
many of the doubtful ones that free
silver was not what was needed,
but confidence was what we wanted
just now. All through his remarks
he stood firmly by his convictions,
and said that while 1t might cost
him the loss of many votes he
would not stoop to the crime OF
laying aside honest convictions for
personal political advancement.
This utterance drew forth an i'm.
mense applause and even those
who differed with him on the finan-
cial question admired his courage
and did him honor. His speech
was a logical one and made him
friends.

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

The meeting of the Harrison

mittee at Mississippi City last Fri
day was indeed interesting if not
considerate.
The curtain raised on one-act
drama, en- tiled the "Ejectment of

"Permitting Friends to Partici.
pate" AS the program continued
interest increased and when the
chairman appeared on the stage in
the role OF the heavy tragedian,
reading the riot lines to the Gun
faithful" the house went wild with
applause and he was repeatedly en-
cored until the committee wound
up in "Comedy of Errors" for
getting their duties as prescribed
by law and winding up the meet.
ing TO the utter dissatisfaction of
the voters and candidates.
From the proceedings published
in another column it will be seen
that the committee adjourned be-
fore completing it's labors, and this
condition, if allowed to prevail, will
bring on protests, contests ana dis
Eruption, therefore, for the sake Ct
harmony and good feeling among
all Democrats in the county we
would recommend another meeting
of the committee for the purpose OF
revising the ohjectional parts OF
the work done and completing
their duties.

JOHN T. MCDONALD.

In the proper place to day can be
found the announcement of John
I. Mcdonald as candidate for
representative from this county In
the next legislature. We also pub
lish a card in which Mr.. Mcdonald
explains his candidacy.
To the people of Pass Christian
he is well known and needs no in.
PRODUCTION at our hands, but to the
voters in other parts of the county
a few remarks may be of interest.
Mr.. Mcdonald first entered poll
tics when he was elected to repre-
sent the fourth ward of this town
in the council, at the end of which
term he was elected mayor aud re-
elected the second time, defeating
for this Office upon both occasions
very strong opponents. At the end
of his second term he was urged to
become a candidate for a third
time but he declined. His admin.
istration as mayor was clean, hon.
est and conservative. Outside of
politics he has held several honored
positions, having filed the position
of master workman of the Knights
of Labor of the State of Mississippi,
and on the organization of lodge
of the Knights of Honor in this
town he was selected dictator and
elected to the same position at the
first election thereafter.
