DON'T MAKE A MISTAKE.

We trust that when the Democratic
State Convention meets that it will
not make any mistake in selecting
candidates for the various State offices.
Good, honest capable men OF high
character and standing should be plac-
ed 90 the ticket, and the people will
rally to its support. FinncIally Miss
issippi is in terrible condition-taxes
too high and the affairs OF the State
mismanaged-the old tumble down
State house disgrace to the proud
State, and enough money has been
wasted to have built an edifce equal
to any Capitol building In the
South.
In selecting members for the next
Legislature the best men should be
elected who are we'll qualified for this
important position, aud men Of true
principle, not biased and under the
control Of any 'click" or sit Of men.
Bold, fearless, independent and cou-
rageous, not afraid to do their duty
ere the heavens fall. Such men should
control the next Legislature of this
State, and with a Governor OF broad
gauge ideas, honest and true with
splendid executive ability the State
will at once enter upon a new era Of
progress and Improvement.

about three years, suppose these can
didates for State positions inform the
people what they intend to do in order
to relieve the taxpayers OF the burdens
resting so heavily upon them. The
State is safely for free silver and there
Is no doubt about it, so the necessity
