Hon. J. w. Bailey, the democratic

that more than a year ago, and with
out any reference 10 HIS race against
Mr.. Allen, | wrote a private letter to
Mr., Walker, in which / expressed the
hope that he might be elected to

run for congress. My reply was a
private communication, and written
without any thought or intention
that it would be used against Mr..
Allen or against any other candidate
that might offer himself Ia opposition
to MI. Walker.
There might be some ground for

Mr. Walker promptly declared that

without any authority from me. The

t,Now let's see when our Anse be-
came a convert to the free silver doc
trine, how much he hazarded 10 his
advocacy Of it. During 1893 and
1894 When the discussion Of the imam
eial question kept all the country
alive with interest, we find nothing
in the records to show that he either
said Or wrote anything to enlighten
the people as to his views. But II
was dnFing those two years that the
free silver sentiment in Mississippi
was crystalNing, the work Of that
grand old statesman-the peoples
friend-the c~lear-headed and true
hearted old commoner-J. r. George,
in behalf Of free silver began in 1890.
Money and WaIthall, and Private
John Allen, and our own peerless
John Sharp William, as well as other
able and honest Mississippians had
made the question a leading one and
discussed it ably and fully. The il
health of Senator WalUhall led hin
to resign, and it became the duty 0.
the legislature to elect a senator t
fill the vacancy. by this time it hat
become pretty evident how the mas.
Of the people stood on the silver ques.

pose that in selecting d senator tht
legislature would reflect the senti
