Senator George.

Let them say what they will, and
what they choose, "Old George" as
they call him, is going to be reelected
to succeed himself in the Senate, and
right here, in advance, we would sug-
gest, if anv serious opposition to him
springs up among Democrats, his
friends in every county in the State
ought to insist that all aspirants for
Legislative honors shall show their
hands on the Senatorial question, for
we are quite certain the masses OF the
party, aye. the people Of the State, are
for George, George, George, first,
second, third, and all the time. He
has been true and faithful, and they
know it. He has never knelt, or
knuckled to DOwer. nor hidden away
from opposition and danger, when the
rights. and interests Of his people were
involved. He never has done it, and
he never will do it, and this the peo-
pie of Mississippi know just as we'll as
they know, that he was the pilot, and
his the brain and the hand, that guided
the ship of State over the breakers aud
quicksands and billows, in which so
many proud and noble crafts went
down. Sound the tocsin. George for
Senator.-Sardis Reporter.
