The Geography of the Democratic State
Ticket.

The Geography of the Democratic state
Ticket.
The jackson correspondent of the
New Orleans Picayune makes the fol-
lowing reference to the location OF the
nominees on the Democratic State
ticket:
There never was more unequal dis
tribution of nominations in the matter
of location, perhaps. Kosciusko, about
fifty-four miles on an air line northeast
of Jackson, is within three miles OF the
geographical center of the State.
Six of the best offices in the State,
perhaps the six best, go to four ad-
Joining counties-Hinds,R Rankin, Simp-
son and Copiah-a solid block about
fifty miles sauage. These are Govern
or, Auditor, Secretary of State, Treas
urer, Clerk of the Supreme Court and
Revenue Agent.
There is not single nominee north
of Jackson and west of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad, which splits the State
near the center, north and south.

1t was explained to the meeting that
the acceptance of this proposition
would have the effect of making null
and void the nominations already
made by the Prohibition party and
that the members of the two parties
would then come together in mass
meeting on a day to be decided by this
meeting and nominate full ticket in
accordance with the conditions stipula-
tedin Nos, | and 2 of the Prohibition
proposition.
A rising vote was then taken on the
proposition and it was voted down by
a decisive majority.
A motion was then adopted that the
meeting adjourn without making any
nominations, and that it come togeth-
er again next Saturday, Aug. 18th, and
nominate full ticket of Populists,
without fusion of any sort.
