DEleNAN REFUSES AN HONOR

cmy Appointments.

cWy appointment.
Secretary of the Navy Long has received
letter from Osborne F. Deignan of Iowa,
declining the appointment to the Naval
Academy offered to him in accordance with
an act of Congress. Young Deignan's de-
clination is due, it is said, to his belief that
he would find it extremely difficult to pass
the examination for admission. With a
view to aiding him in every possible way,
the secretary offered to permit him to enter
the academy without the usual entrance
examination; but, while approaching this
concession, the young man deemed it eX
pedient to give up altogether his dreams Of
a career in the service.

DR.. J. B. GAMBRELL'S STRONG
ENDORSEMENT.

EDITOR Tue LEADER: Permit an
ex-Mississippian, who loves every acre
of her soil, loves her people and cher
ishes every recollection of the many
years spent on the sacred soil, to say a
word about the campaign in which the
good people of the State are now en-
gagged. Or rather, let me speak of one
of the candidates for the Senate, John
M. Allen. j have known him since he
was boy. He was a soldier under me
in the Civil war, and braver soldier
never wore the gray. / have known
his life from that time on, and watch
ed his career with great satisfaction.
John Allen is a man of extraordinary
ability, as the people of Mississippi
very generally understand. He is
man of the most unfiinching integrity.
His moral courage is as great as his
physical. He has been on the right
side of every moral question that was
ever raised in his community or in
the State. He hasneyerlent his influence
to any corrupt ring, especially the
whisky ring. He is out-and-out, al
ways has been, opposed to whisky poll
tics, and l am perfectly certain if he is
honored with the great office of United
States Senator, he will reflect credit
on the State, and his public influence
will be on the side of morality and good
government, both in Washington and in
Mississippi. It.would give me great
pleasure to'see him elevated to that
high Office.
| am deeply concerned in the con
test now waging in the dear old State.
From this distance,it seems that forces,
once scattered, are gathering again, to
threaten the purity and the peace of
the commonwealth. / wish every true
friend to the cause would vote with
reference to the building up of high
morality in the State, and a pure po-
litical life. There can be but little
doubt that the moral conflicts, which
have been fought in the years past
must be repeated, in measure, now
l know that John NJ. Allen helped to
put an end to whisky politics and to
the whiskey business in his own com
munity.. | say these words in the in
terest, not of the man, but of the cause
to which some of us have given our
lives.

Plain Talk from One of the Govern
or's Friends.
Dallas. Texas

The Reporter, published at Forest,
Scott county, under the heading of
"Anselm j. McLaurin," contains the
following, which is fully self fexplana-
tory:
"No man who has ever been an active
politician in Mississippi has enjoyed
more loyal following, one that had
stood unwaveringly by him through
good and through evil report, than has
the gentleman whose name heads this
article, and he should be as loyal and
true to that following as it has been to
I him. He owes much more to his
| friends than his friends owe to him,
and he should not place them in an
embarrassing attitude politically,
either by evasion, quivocation or other
wise. That he has made mistakes
since his induction into the office of
governor, his most sanguine friends
J and ardent admirers cannot truth
! fully gainsay, for it is human to err,
and McLaurin has not passed beyond
that pale, but he should meet those
mistakes in a frank, open and states
man-like manner, and not try to pose
as political immaculate or resort to
the questionable tactics of the non
committal witness by the adoption of
the subterfuge, II don't recollect" :"
He owes it to his friends to meet all
charges brought against his admins
tration in an honorable and truthful
manner, and no man, friend or foe,
will accept the statement published in
the Times Democrat of last Saturday
in regard to the Spectator commune
ton, crediting him with saying that
he had absolutely no recollection of
having written anything of the kind
Among the press of the State none
have been more loyal in the support
; of the candidacy of Governor McLau-
rim than has been the Reporter, and
it would dislike very much to believe
the governor made such a statement
with the expectancy that the intelli-
gent people of the State would accept
it as final solution of matter he had
publicly denied but was afterward con-
fronted with fac-simile of the docu-
ment he was charged with having writ
ten. There is not an intelligent man in
| Mississippi but who knows that if Me-
Laurin wrote the communication in
question that he (McLaurin) has the
event as fresh in his mind as be had
the day it was written. To believe
otherwise would be to rank him as
the Spectator communication, he
should say so in plain and unequivocal
language and then stand firm and un-
wavering by his denial. If he did
write the communication his admis-
sion should be open, frank and force
full. He is seeking the senatorship as
an Endorsement of his administration
as governor. but he cannot rightfully
expect such Endorsement if he cannot
maintain an honorable attitude in the
canvass he is now making. The friends
and admirers of politicians are always
loath to part political company with
their favorites, but no man is so poll
tically immaculate but what he can
reach a point where self-respect will
force his most ardent admirers and
tenacious supporters to part political
company with him.
The Governor is bold campaigner,
but he has not raised direct question
of veracity with that Spectator letter
since Allen had fac smile published.
