SILVER, while stone. the gold candidate, gets
III votes Copiahs vote may be taken as a
fair estimate of the strength of the con-
tending factions in the state. the gold
standard candidates get only III votes TO
las for the three advocates of the honest
bimetalic dollar.
That has been the relative strength of the
two factions in every county that has eX-
pressed its sentiments so far, either In its
vote for senator or gubernatorial candl-
dates. That the proposition to elect United
States senator tfrcct by vote Of the people
is popular in Mississippi is shown by the
fact that nearly every county has ordered
the sentiment taken and that the members
elect for legislature consider themselves IN
strucTed to vote for the man who gets
the largest vote for the senate.
Only Two Left.

Gable might as well withdraw, too.

senator George silver.
Winona, Miss. July H. SpecialJ-A mas
'erlv speech was delivered here today by
United States Senator George upon the
political issues Of the day. As this speech
is the only one that the senator will deliver
IN the present campaign it was looked for
ward to with great interest.
While Senator George has always been n
pronounced fIec coinage man, II was known
that he had previously entertained some
misgiyings as TO the ratio. This fact led
the goldbugs 10 hope that he might throw
some discord into the ranks of the free
silver people which, under the present cir
cumstances, would have been a godsend to
them.
Senator George, however. came out solid
for the ratio of i6 TO I. He spoke of his
recent investigation, which had convinced
him that the United States was abundanty
able to maintain the parity of the two met
ais at that ratio. France. when much
weaker than the United states, had done
so. and we can do likewise.
The senator traced the fall of prices as
the gold standard became fixed, and declar-
cd the movement for the repeal of the Sher-
man law in 1892 was a conspiracy of bank
Crs.
The people were highly delighted with
Senator Georges speech, which will be pub
lishad in tomorrow's Constitution.
