A New ChampiOn.o .o

Many times Bolter Murray, in his famous Mccoy organ, says that in the Iress Eagze Mccoy "has a friend and champion that is well aequaint- ed with the past political history of Jefferson county, and especially that portion relating to shortages in the treasurer's office that were never adjusted, and then proceeds to in. innate that if the supporters of MT. Bell don't let up on McCoy's de- falcation i've advise them as did McBeth, to
 Lay on McDuf and damned be he who first
 cries, Hold, enough! ,
 This is pretty good for McCoy's new champion. (Buckie is the old champion.) Guess he will say next, "the goblins will gety youlf you don t look out But, say, Champion, , while you are calling ton McDuff to lay on, how would it do for your mar Mccoy to tell the people what has become of that $2, 396 30 which is the difference between the $4, TOO which Mccoy as treasurer owed the county and state. and the 8, 303 70 which the Press Eagle says he paid back? Now, McDuff and MeBeth are all right, and were said to be courageous fellows, and both of them may have been "champlons" for aeght we know, but the thing most desirable just at this writing is, what has become of that $2, 396. 302 McGoy's champion may have intended to tell the public, but fell to quoting Shakespeare and forgot it. However, some other old time will do just as well.

The GRAPHIC Wednesday publish ed card from MT. A. B. Grace in which be stated that he was em- ployed by Maj. Mccoy as his astor- ney to represent him in taking dep ositions. but was not McCoy's attor- ney when he held a proxy on the committee that declared Mccoy the nominee. Has Mir. Grace forgotten his statement before the committee in reply to question fiom Mir. s. M. Taylor to fix his status before the committee, when Mir. Grace re- pied that be was "Mai. McCoy's paid attorney but would be equal to che occasion and try to deal justly with Mir Brewster?" Whoever heard of an attorney surreuderng his case in order to go into the jury box to try the case of his former client? No; no; Mir. Grace, your explanation does not explain, and from present appearances the rela- tionship between attorney and client continues.

The Issue.

Next Monday is election day
 On that day the people will be given an opportunity to express and register their sentiments as to recent political events in Jefferson county.
 Whether the fraudulent nomina- tion of II. A. Mccoy and his un- serupulous methods shall be indorsed, or whether these frauds and methods practiced in the name of the party shall be rebuked at the polls, is the question at issue.
 The GRAPHIC believes in standing to principle, right aud justice, and We believe the good name and in tegrity of our party demand that such methods as characte rized the Mccoy campaign, and through which his alleged nomination was accom- plished, should be re buked now and forever, as an earnest that sucb things will not be tolerated by the civilization and Democracy of the county in the future.
 The good name of our county and party, and the reputation of our people should be redeemed from the odium cast upon them by the prac- tice of such disgraeeful frauds as have characterized the Mccoy cam paign from beginning to end. Dem oeratic supremacy is in no wise en- dangered Mayor Bell is as good if not a better democrat than Maj Mccoy, and will make the county more efficient aud reliable sheriff and collector. Nothing will there fore be lost to the democratic party, which We love so well, by Mayor Bells election, but, on the con trary, the party will be redeemed from the odium cast upon it by Mccoy and his partisans, and disgusted and luke-w warm democrats wlll be brought back into the fold, thereby saying the party from further political dis grace and possible defeat in the fu- ture.
 The campaign for Mr. Bell is one based on principle and honor, as against fraud and interruptions political methods, and in the move ment to reform the present conai- lion oi affairs, all good citizens should stand united, regardless of persons, parties, race or previous condition.

Can Not Locate origin of Fever.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 2-The state board of health is unable to locate the origin of the four cases of yellow fever reported at Orwood, small village in Lafayette county. The place was not infected during the epidemic of last year and the board finds it impossible to dis cover an origin from any outside source.
 Dr. Gray, local physician, died at Taylor's station four days ago and the doctors who attended hlm say that he showed symptoms of Black vomit. Or wood and Taylor's station are both tightly quarantined, and members of the state board are hurrying to the scene.

So far the McCoyites have vouch- safed us no information as to what became of the balance of that $4, TOO for which Mccoy was defaulter at the expiration of his term of office as treasurer. A receipt for $2. 3O3. : 70, alIeged to be in full, does not cover as dedication for S4,700.00. What became of the balance :? Where is it? What light had Me- Coy to unlawfully use the county's money for private purposes? Ans wer, please.

the choice of e72 as good and true democrats as ever voted the demo. cratic ticket, while Mccoy claims the nomination on the strength of 757 democrats an6 a partisan cen tral committee Of fifteen, it is impossible to see how Democratic supremacy is en- dangered The fact is there is no op- position to any regular Democratic nominee, and there would be none to Mccoy were it not for the fact that his alleged nomination was ac- eomplished through fraud. These methods tho Democracy and decency of the county cannot afford to in dorse. In our opinion the regular nominees would do well to mind their own business without attempt ing to foist fraud and defaulter like Mccoy upon the people.

III Feeling Against Aguinaldo.

Manila, Sept. 2-The insurgents at- tended requiem mass in the Pasig church on the site of the principal bat tlefeld for the repose of the souls of the insurgents and Americans who have lost their lives here while fighting tho Spaniards.
 According to Spanish advices there is q strong feeling in the provinces against Aguinaldo because the insurgents an ticipations have not been realized. They are said to have exhausted their funds and the supplies obtained from the mo- nasteries and to obtain any relief from the insurgent leader. It is added that Aguinaldo is afraid to make his con templated visit to Bulaean, owing to the fact that he is unable to comply with the insurgents demands.

A bull market would not be complete without

tain stocks to-day were caused by heavy really
Ing sales and the with which such sales
