The senatorial contest is waxing very
warm at Helena and hints at bribery
are current. The result is growing
more uncertain, though each candidate
has his friends who are certain Of his
victory. They are all friends of Cen
tennial beer, however, and brides are
not necessary to gain popularity for
it. All of Butte and Helena drink Cen
tennial beer, and those who know say
it is the best.

to-day will be found the full proceed
ings of the County Democratic Mass
Meeting, which convened in the
court house last Saturday at l2m.
Inc county was well represented by
representative Democrats, and from
start to finish, 1t was one OF the most
orderly and harmonious meetings ever
assembled in this place. We were
gratifled to see the most prominent
gold bug Democrats of the county
present and acting in perfect harmo-
ny with the silver Democrats. The
vote on the resolutions, especially the
one endorsing the Chicago platform
was passed unanimously, not dis.
senting voice was heard in the vast
assembly. Therefore, we take it for
granted that our gold bug Democratic
friends have returned to the Demo-
cratic fold, and in future will act in
unison with the Democratic party.
We cordially welcome each and every
one.

AS A MANUFACTURING
CENTER.

There is no location on the Missis-
slnpi coast more suitable than that OF
Scranton for the establishing of in.
dustries of many kinds. Every effort
should be made to open factories. such
as for the manufacture of furniture.
boxes, tiles and articles Of pottery.
canning of oysters, shrimp, fruit and
vegetables.
The lack OF commercial and tlnan-
cial strength and prosperity in the ex.
treme South is mainly due to the alb
sence Of such industries which could
he established through the same en-
ergy that has met with such signal
success wherever undertaken by en-
terprising aud progressive business
men.
Ii there is the want Of capital that
deters our citizens from venturing
upon such enterprises, there is no
doubt it can be obtained abroad upon
a proper showing OF the advantages
to be enjoyed through natural supply
OF materials necessary for such in
dustrIes which abound in our imme-
date neighborhood

1t appears, from the Lexington Ad.
vertiser, that Governor McLaurin did
not honestly carry Holmes county
for the U. S. Senate. Ballots cast for
Williams at West Station, Eulogy and
other points in the county were not
counted. II these ballots had been
counted as they should have been,
another primary would have been or.
dered. as McLaurin failed to receive
a majority OF all the votes cast in the
county for Senator. The Advertiser
says: Governor McLaurin owes the
success in this county in the primary
election not to the votes cast in the
primary election, but to the refusal of
the executive committee to examine
the votes and see who got the So votes
for U. S. Senator which the managers
had not counted for anybody, most of
which were known to have been cast
for Williams"
