SOUTHERN men who come to
Washington these days nearly
all have something to say about
the proposition TO admit Con
Tolerate veterans to government
soldiers Homes and the pension
roll, and the substance Of the
opinions Of nine-tenths Of them
is contained in the following re-
marks, made by Mr.. A. D. Nc
Clure, of Ca: "If any one sup
poses that the southern people
have the rernotest idea that TIE
veterans of the Confederate army
or their friends expect pensions
of the G. $. government, or even
reception into the Soldiers
Homes, a grievously mistaken
notion is cherished. Our people
are not dreaming Of any such
idea, for they are too sensible to
entertain any proposition SO ut
terry romantic, not to say alb
surd. The old Johnnies are dc
ing frst-rate without any boun-
ty from Washington. Our rem
sion list is already big enough,
and there is 10 need for further
burdens The wholeidea is quix
otic and the very first to de-
nounce i whuld be the proposed

The Governor says the Charge is False.


Meridian Miss. May 2O.-The annual
picnic at Suqualena, ten miles north
west of Meridian, given today, over
which Mayor Dial, of this city, by spe-
cial request, presided, was largely at
tended, there being some three thous-
and people present. Gov. McLaurin
and Hon. John Allen, among other
candidates, were there, and the discus
sion by these gentlemen attracted
more than usual interest, inasmuch as
the governor took occasion, for the
first time, to denounce as false the
charge frequently made by Mr.. Allen
and by the newspapers of the State, that
he had promised, before conviction,
the pardon of Ivo Miller. Gov. Nc
Laurin, in his closing rejoinder, en-
phasized this statement by the declara-
ton that he then had ia his pocket
documents to show that his assertions
| were true. Allen demanded that this
evidence be given the large audience
present, but the governor declined to
do this, saying that Allen had no right
to consume his time by interrupting
him in the closing speech OF the dis
cussion between him and the private.
1t is understood that Sam Coleman, OF
the legal firm of Coleman Il McClurg,
of Greenwood, who were employed as
counsel for Ivo Miller, went to Jack
son and interviewed the governor
before the plea of guilty was pre-
pared or entered by Miller, and it is
upon the strength Of Coleman's state
ments of what transpired between him
and the governor that the charges have
been made. 1t Is claimed by those
who know Mr.. Coleman that this flat
denial of the governor will force him
into print ON the question at issue.

Franklin County POpulists.

The Peoples party executive COM
mittee of Franklin county met at
Meadville on the 18th inst and called
acounty mass meeting to be held in
Meadville On the 4th Monday in June
for the purpose of deciding on or
making nominations for senatorial
and fiotorial district and county
officers. The 4th Saturday of June
was set as the time to nominate beat
officers by the several beats. 1t was
further ordered that Populist and in
dependent voters of Franklin county
be invited to participate in said mass
meeting. A substitute for the above,
offered by DIR. A. M. Newman, that the
chairman of the Peoples Party
executive committee be authorized
to ask the Democratic executive
committee to recede from its
order not allowing any but known
Democrats to 90 before the primary
election as ordered by them, and
should the Democratic executive com
mittee refuse to comply with the re-
quest, that the chairman of the Peo-
pies Party executive committee be en-
powered to call mass meeting indie
pendent of the action of the Demo
cratic party for the purpose of making
nominations for county and district
oncers, was voted down. DR.. New
man has since resigned his position on
the committee.

r,s Ivo Miller pardon continues to
l.. leading topic of discussion in the
i" ss and on the stump. TIE LEADER
isav nublishes astrong editorial from
". . Hazlehurst courier on this subject
~S;ob has been widely copied and
ammepted upon. Hitherto the Cou-
Wv has shown leaning toward the
norsrnor n0 and was disposed to defend
him when criticised.
Tur LEADER endorsed the Governors
,,t in hardening Miller, but at first we
ala not know that the pardon carried
ritb II the harsh condition of Danish
ant from Mississippi and was en-
sorsed on the back as shown below.
orr opinion of the merits Of the case
wos based on the testimony given by
w;tnssses on both sides in the magis-
rates court Immediately after Melon
.ld was killed, and published in the
naner edited by McDonald's cashier.
IN that testimony, which it was ex-
claimed was taken down In shorthand
and prepared for the paper by the
sditor's son, young Miller was richly
entitled to prompt pardon without
conditions of any sort.
As it is, entirely aside from the
ouestion of whether or not the pardon
was promised by the Governor in ad-
vance of the plea Of guilty, and which
he has denied, we regard his action, for
reasons so forcibly pointed out by the
Courier, as absolutely indefensible.
It looks, as has been charged, like a
political pardon, pure and simple, in
tended to satisfy both sides, but which
righteously enough, has pleased neith-
er and brought down on the Governors
head the condemnation of many
former friends and thousands of 9th.
er Mississippians who we're inclined to
condone other bad acts of his admins
tration.
On the back of the pardon Gov. Nc
Laurin endorsed the following:
"As the petition for pardon in this
case charges the deceased with forci-
BILE assault on the sister of the prisoner,
against her will, l endorse hereon my
finding, after searching investigation,
that the deceased did not assault or at
tempt to assault forcibly the prisoners
sister against her will and that there
was no improper conduct on the part
Of any officer of the court in drawing
or impaneling the grand jury or upon
the part of the grand jury in investi-
eating the case and presenting the in
dictment."
If Miller was entitled to a pardon at
all, be was entitled to it without condi-
tons and without having his sister vir-
tually stigmatized by the Governor as
harlot. If not, he was an unfit man
to be turned lose on the people of this
or any other State, and the Governors
denial that pardon was promised in
advance only emphasizes his lack of
Justification in granting it.
