THE pRoHInrrroNrsrs.

AS will be seen by the official pro-
ceedings elsewhere, the Lincoln coun-
ty Prohibitionists met last Friday and
decided to supplement- their legisla-
tive ticket by nominating full ticket
for county offices. The local ticket
was selected without strict regard for
party lines. Three of the candidates
selected hold nominations from the
Democratic party and three from the
Peoples party. The main considera-
tions which led to the adoption of this
policy were these 1. To select for
candidates trustworthy, capable men,
who are open and tried opponents of the
liquor traffic. 2. Being fully satisfied
as to point No. 1. Prohibitionists, al
ways patriots before mere partisans,
can we'll afford to disregard party lines
and unite with good citizens of other
parties to insure the election of such
candidates.
This was the unanimous judgment
of the meeting and the one on which
it acted.
The meeting adopted resolutions en-
plicitly defining the Prohibition party
position on the liquor and money
questions, and the one which its
legislative candidates will advocate
and defend in the pending campaign.
All other questions aside, Prohibi-
tionists cannot afford to support the
legislative ticket nominated by either
Democrats or Populists. The Demo
cratic party by its record and its plat
form has shown itself to be liquor
party, and it's candidates for the Leg
islature are understood to endorse
their party's record and platform on
this question while the nominees of
the Peoples party for the Legislature,
whatever may be their personal views
and convictions, by the action of their
party mass meeting in this county, are
virtually instructed against the very
thing Prohibitionists are contending
fora State prohibition law and the
submission of a constitutional prohi-
bition amendment.
Prohibitionists may we'll afford to
be proud of their ticket, which is pub
lished at our mast head today. Now
let us go to work and elect it.

A State Republican League was or
ganized at Jackson last week. Ex-
Mayor John McGill of thrt city was
elected president E. W. Jones and
Wash Newman vice-presidents; E. l..
Patton and r. G. Robinson secretaries !;
Charles Kerr treasurer. The object Of
this League is to effect a more thor
ough organization of the Republican
party in the State, to educate the col
ored voter and prevail on him to regis
ter. Some time was taken up in
discussing the constitution OF the
state and asking all colored citizens to
accept it as their constitution and to
abide by it. Appeals were made TO the
negroes to pay their poll tax and to
educate themselves, that they might
receive the rights of suffrage. 1t is
claimed there are fully two hundred
Republican voters in Jackson, less
than fifty of whom have registered or
shown any desire to cast ballot in
several years.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. j. Cheney q Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimo-
malls. Address

Is Tainted with Populism'
ELMwooD, August IL, 1895.

f. Tainted with Popunsm'
ELMwoop, August IL, 1895.
To the Editor of The Leader:
The article that appeared In the
LEADER of the 9th inst. headed, us
Sessions Populist, subject to the ac-
ton of the Democratic party" ETC.,
was intended, no doubt, to reflect on
nv Democracy in way which would
weaken my candidacy and cause my
defeat. If otherwise the question
would have been asked at an earlier
date that justice might have been done
in the interest of all concerned, by
giving me an opportunity OF making
the following facts known to the voters
throughout the county, viz: That L
never attended Populist meeting OF
any kind, never heard Popullst
speech delivered and never cast Pop
ulist vote in my life. Never voted a
Republican ticket, never attended a
Republican meeting of any kind and
never as much as heard Republican
speech delivered in my life. And since
I have never been struck with any
extreme ideas ON Prohibition, yet am
opposed to dram shops of any kind and
blind tigers of any color, ] heartily
agree with the business men of our day
that no drunkard is a suitable man
to employ and apply the rule to men
who want to become public servants.
I never schemed to cheat my
fellow man out of anything that
was Tor calculated to becomel his. So
that every one DESTROYS of information
in regard to my past political record
might have known where to place me
before the last primary.
Now, in regard to the editorial that
appeared in the Peoples party organ
of Copiah County and copied by THE
LEADER, 1 want to say, that it has ever
been my purpose and principle to
grant to others perfect right to freely
exercise their every privilege, political
or otherwise, with unfeigned respect
Therefore the compliment that ap-
peared in the Reform Advocate i'll
reference to myself-"A just, an hon
est and faithful man,'-to which none
could object and all reasonable men
must agree, under the circumstances
that it does not reflect upon my fideli-
ty to the Democratic party or true
Democratic principles.
I am enjoying this compliment quite
as much as you are my defeat. Yet
since your plan worked so effectively
against me, l think that 1t would be
nothing more than justice that you
give me space in the columns OF THF
LEADER for this communication, as il
will probably prove to be of some sat
isfaction to a goodly number of voters
throughout the county and especially
to the GIT stauneh friends whose con
fidence in my integrity could not bt
shaken and shall never be betrayed by
Yours respectively,
j. G.. SESSIONS.

The Shakers have made discovery
which is destined to accomplish much
good. Realizing that three-fourths OF
all our sufferings arise from stomach
troubles, that the country is literally
filled with people who cannot cat and
digest food, without subsequently sui
fering pain and distress, and that
many are starving, wasting to mere
skeletons, because their food does them
no good, they have devoted much study
and thought to the subject, and the
result is this discovery, of their Dlses'
tive Cordial.
A little book can be obtained from
your druggist that will point the way
of relief at once. An Investigation
will cost nothing and will result IN
much good.

about securing the success OF this great
crusade against the liquor saloons. "
In emphasizing these points Mr..
woolley drew terrible picture OF
country entirely controlled by liquor
dealers, given up to its sale and use,
and occupied only by its supporters and
victims
"It was" he said, "a vision most
repellant and repugnant 1t was, he
continued, "a scene of horrors and OF
despair. 1t was o country free from
Sunday laws, free from the fanatical
interference of Christian people. There
were coils Of distilleries, breweries,
brothels, madhouses and gaming houses.
Mothers sat upon the ground beside the
dead bodies of their firstborn, and pray
ing for death themselves. Drunken
men 90 into drunkards' graves, women
90 about broken hearted. Six millions
of people and not one happy home In
all the land; not one cheerful race; no
sweet notes raised. no Sunday, no
church, no God. 1t is like the leprosy
island in the Pacific ocean. The IN.
fernal cruelty and atrocity OF 1t have
never struck you, oh. men, and you

cause there is no drunkard in your fam

were in smoking ruins. prolonged
applause and cheers
IF the suggestion is made to you to
quiet the saloon on the scandinavian
plan, or to keep them 100 feet from
schoolhouse or church, be it clergyman
or layman, dump him in Boston harbor,
and keep him there until the meanness
is soaked out of him. Great applause. ]
"Stand up, men of Boston, and
cleanse thyself, SO that it will be clean

grow up in. expect to win this fight
and put my own heel on the neck OF
this liquor traffic will plant my heel
upon it's accursed neck, with Down,
down, to hell, and say I sent thee. ;
[Tumultuous applause.
MAY God help you to keep the shadow
of drink from your own homes, and may
God give you great strength and grit
and sand and the determination to con-
quer in this fight against this great
curse and foe.'
When Mr. Woolley had finished there
was demonstration of intense enthu-
siasm. The applause and shouts were
deafening. They subsidized, and then
revived with renewed vigor. The meet
ing was then dismissed, and large
number Of his auditors went to the plat
form and shook his hand. There were
many who could not get near him.
They contented themselves with "God
bless you, Mr.. Woolley." 1t was
memorable occasion. Mr.. Woolley held
his vast audience in rapt attention from
the first to the last words he uttered.
