THE GULF g. SHIP ISLAND

This road which at one time SEEM
ed failure is now being completed
and promises to be potent factor
in the development Of that part of
the state which It will traverse.
Too much praise cannot be given
the constructors and construction of
of new railroad because it inspires
new industries and necessarily estab-
fishes new prosperity.
Mississippi is sadly deficient in the
way OF railroads, but we hope, that
the Gulf C Ship Island and the Mo-
bile & Jackson railroads are but
the forerunnsrs Of new era of rail-
road building in Mississippi.
The Gulf & Ship Island railroad
will do much to building Gulfport
and that locality. Gulf Port is
pleasantly located on the gulf-beach,
and that it will have superior rail-
road facilities to other gulf coast
towns gives an idea Of the growth it
should attain.

The assertion made by the boiling
democrats to the effect that populites
were in control at the Chicago con
vention is not true.
No one knows it better than the
boiling democrats themselves.
The delegates to the national dem.
ocratic convention were democrats
chosen by the democratic party in on
honest democratic manner. e..

the success Of silver, has not a pop
ulistic democracy; on the contrary
Its democracy is spotless as the er-
mine. Who dares contradict this
VIII the Picaynne or States say
that'the Louisiana delegates were not
democrats, onorably chosen by the

1t forfeits the respect Of any and
