fruits ETC., that were displayed at the
Atlanta Exposition, which won for us
honorable mention and d gold medal.
We shall endeavor to enlarge this exhi-
bit aud make it AZ complete i'll every
line of products as possible, in order to
secure a creditable display, and one
which will be of benefit to the state of
Mississippi as well as the NJ. &s o. RR.

that our exhibit should be placed in the

The Democratic State Convention met
I'm Columbia, South Carolina, May Goth
and all the delegates chosen favored the
free coinage of silver ut the ratio of 10
to 4. The most interesting incident Of
the convention occurred at this evening
session when Senator Tillinan, chairman
of the committee on platform, presented
the report Of the committee. Itdenoun-
ces the administration OF President
Cleveland as undemocratic and tyrani-
cal repudiates the construction placed
on the financial plank Of the last Demo-
cratic national convention by President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle; de-
nounces the issue of bonds Expresses the
belief that the power and usurpations
of the federal courts, as now organized; -
are dangerous to the public; demands
the calling of a. constitutional conycn-
ton to form an organic law suitable to
the changed conditions and the growth
of the country; more economical adj
ministration of the national affairs; de-
mands the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver at the ratio of 10 to 1, regardless
of the action Of any and all other ma
tons, and the enlargement of the pow :
ers of the interstate commerce commits
sion.
Senator Irby denounced Tillman, who
replied in a bitter speech, and Tillman s
platform was adopted.
The Democracy of South Dakota on
the Goth by a vote of 2S4 to 1877 refused
to adopt declaration favoring the free
and unlimited coinage Of gold and silver
at the ratio Of 16 to1, regardless of the
action of any other country The sill
yer delegater, however, did not with
draw from the convention as it had been
reported they would. The platform as
adopted reads in part:
''The Democratic party of South Da-
kota is in favor of the present standard
of values in our monetary system and
the use of full legal tender silver coins
and paper convertible into coin on de-
mand in such quantities as can be main
tained without impairing or endanger-
ing the credit of the government or d.
minishing the purchasing OF debt-pay-
ing power of the money in the hands of
the people. -

hon. Walter price Explains.

EDITOR BEACON ~ notice in your Is
sue Of the 10th inst the following talk
en- from the Clarion Ledger
THE fact is not generally known that
Hon. j. r.. Dinsmore was unanimously
elected presidential elector from the 4th
district, but declined, desiring to see
Hon. Walter Price, from his own town,
elected delegate to the National Con
venti0n. n
AS the bare statement of the above is
calculated to do me an injustice by lead
ing the public to think me capable of
permitting Mr. Dinsmore to sacrifice
his political interests to advance mine,
deem it best, for all concerned, to state
the facts as they occurred AS soon as
the District Convention was organized,
Mr.. Dinsmore was placed in nomina-
ton for presidential elector and ''unan-
imously'' elected, whereupon Mr..
Dinsmore arose and expressed thanks
for the honor conferred upon him, but
rendered his resignation, saying that he
did not wish to jeopardize the chance OF
friend from his county to be nomina-
ted as delegate to the National Con-
vention. Knowing that he referred to
me, l took the floor and insisted that
Mr.. Dinsmore should hold the place to
which he had been elected, and let me
take my chance of election, adding that
l preferred defeat to accepting such a
sacrifice from any man, even were he
my own brother. When had conclu-
ded some one suggested that probably
it would be well to accept Mr.. Dins
more's resignation, as being elector
would necessitate his resigning his seat
in the Legislature. To this Mr.. Dins
more replied, that he would be willing
to resign as member of the Legislature,
since he considered the position of cleo
tor one of higher honor, and wanted his
resignation placed on the high ground
Of friendship. - His resignation was
accepted and Mr.. Trotter of Winona
was unanimously elected in his stead.
then stated to the convention that /
was no longer a candidate for the posi-
ton of delegate to the National Conven-
ton, and left the hall. During my alb
sence and over my protest was elected
delegate. OF course, there is now no
means Of knowing how much Mr.. Dins-
more's action contributed to my cleo
ton, but had every reason to believe
that l would be elected, as both the
Noxubee delegation and had assurance
that any man from our county on whom
the delegation would agree, should have
strong support.
In conclusion, permit me to reiterate,
that l have never asked any man to sac
rifice his interest to advance mine, and
l hope never shall. l am, and have
always been, willing to submit my as
pirations to public preferment to any
fair and honorable arbitrament, and if
successful to appreciate and endeavor
to wear the honor worthily; if defeat be
my portion, to accept it as possibility
in every contest and bear it with becom-
ing equanimity.
think that every delegate from this
county convention will corroborate the
herein made. i have not
written to depreciate what Mr. Dins-
more did. but to set myself right with
the public.
Respectfully,
WALTER ppTcE
