NUMBER 40.
HON. JOHN N. ALLEN FOR UNI.
TED STATES SENATOR.

The Tupelo Journal, Mr.. Aliens
home paper and official organ, In its
last issue has the following announce
ment that he will be candidate for
United States Senator against Gov.
crnor McLaurin: %
Hon. J. NJ. Allen, who has been at
home during the holiday recess Of
Congress, left for Washington city last
night, to resume his duties in the
housebf representatives.
"His name has been freely mention.
ed as probable candidate for United
States Senator, but he has hitherto
been undecided as to his plans in that
direction. We are, however, now en-
abled tn state authoritatively that
he will be a candidate, as the fol.
lowing interview with him the day be.
fore he left will show.
"In response to our inquiry upon
the subject, he replied:
"Yes, will be candidate before
the Legislature to be elected this year
for Senator to fill the term beginning
March 4, 1901. Many Of my friends
have urged me to make the announce
ment for some time, but thought l
had made up my mind not to be q
candidate for the Senate again. 1t is
my present purpose to make the race,
notwithstanding l saw some months
ago that Gov McLaurln would be the
next Senator from Mississippi. / hear
he claims that most of the opposition
to him is inspired by the gOldbugs on
account Of his pronounced advocacy Of
the free coinage Of silver. OF course l
can't expect the support OF those who
would punish the governor for his
position in favor OF silver. l think
l have been equally as pronounced
: almost as prominent an advocate Of
silver as he, and il this is the real in.
spiration Of opposition to him l will
share this opposition with him; and
as l have been particeps criminis with
him in this offending, l do not think
it right that he should suffer this
martyrdom alone"
"That MIR. Allen will be a leading
factor in the race is not for moment
to be questioned, He has steadily
gained frieads since his last candidacy,
: and now occupies vantage ground
from which it will be impossible to
: dislodge him. His enlarged expert
ence as publicist, his unbroken de-.
votion to his party, and his unswerv-
ing loyalty to his friends are incidents
Of his record that stand brightly forth
and have uplifted him in their conf.
deneand affection"

Bishop Galloway Visits His
Grave Near Natchez,
AND WRITES OF THE LESSONS
TAUGHT BY, THE MARvE-
LOUS CAREER OE THE
MATCHLESS ORATOR.

In transmitting the following
sketch to the New Orleans Picayune.
Hon. E. 5. Wilson, Of Jackson, well
says:
Anything written about Sergeant
S. Prentiss is eagerly read by Missis-
sippians. In this instance interest is
heightened by the fact that this great
orator aud his grave have claimed the
attention of the gifted pon of Bishop
Charles B. Galloway, Of this city, be-
ing contribution to the Epworth
Era, Of Nashville, row brilliantly cd
tied by DR.. DuBose, late pastor OF the
First Methodist church of Jackson:
II have recently. visited for the
first time the grave of Seargent S.
Prentiss. 1t Is two miles south Of
Natchez, in the family cemetery OF
the Sargents, surrounded by sub.
stantial brick wall, and shaded by no.
lblc trees that seem tn bend in rcver-
ence over the quiet sleep OF genius.
By his side is the loving wife who in
lonely widowhood nursed his blessed
memory for forty-one years, and then
came to rest next his grave, NeaI by
is fitting monument to Governor
Winthrop Sargent, the first governor
Of the Mississippi territory. 1t is
more costly and pretentious than the
modest marble that marks the resting
place OF the great orator, but far less
attractive to admirers Of lofty pur'
pose and grand achievement. When
the name Of the governor Is forgotten
the fame OF the eloquent advocate
and patriot will shine with increas'
ing radiance,
"The handsome face, the eagle eye
the marvel0usly musical voice, tho
frail, crippled body, and vast, eageI

A PUNY CRY.
Eupora Progress.

Eupora Progress.
Persecution pcrsecution This Is
the puny cry now being raised by Gov.
McLaurin and his supporters. The
newspapers prosecute him, the rail-
roads persecute him, scheming polti-
clans persecute him, and it is just
persecution, persecution from every
quarter. Listen at this: The rail-
road company took man of the
supreme bench who had been, to the
best of his Judgment, deciding justly
between the people and they gave him
a salary in their employ. Upon me
devolved the responsibility Of appoint
ing his successor" Certainly. And
we venture the assertion that nothing
could have pleased our governor better
than the appointment OF Judge Tim
Cooper's successor. 1t meant the flll-
Ing OF one more important. Office and
the clinching Of that much more sup
port-so he thought. What wonder.
full appointivc record he has! Near
two thousand appointments in two
years. No wonder lie could rear back
over a year before the election, and
with thumbs under his suspenders,
declare that he will be Mississl ppi's
next senator. What cheek! Missis.
sippi's next senator, indeed. Maybe.
But we are not prepared as yet to be.

legal voters Uf the State are his ap-

testimony or the aDie ana aged JurlSt
of New Jersey, who was in Faneuil
Hall that day, was recalled, i forgot
the presence Ct the crowd, said he,
and, though 70 years Of age, felt no
fatigue nom my standing position.
In truth, sir, l was unconscious of
the time-equally so OF the presence
OF anyone but the speaker. l per-
ceived that his physical man was fail
Ing under his effort, and so intense
was my sympathythat I found myself
breathing rapidly and painfully; and
when he exclaimed, ny powers fail,r
and sank into his seat completely ex-
hausted, l regretted the necessity
which compelled him to stop. 1t was
not until then that | found my hand
still holding at the opening OF its
pocket, where, in my excitement,
had forgotten to deposit it. / looked,
and l had been standing unmoved in
the same position, and intently lis
tening, for the three hours and hf-
teen minutes. Near me stood one old
as myself-a friend, a neighbor and a
minister Of the gospel. He was livid
with excitement, and his lips trcm-
bled as he said to ME: viii you ever
doubt again that God inspires men?'"
THAT was the dream-nOw its In
depreciation. That the story--nOw
its lesson. The marvellous career OF
that young man was the creation Of
his own his own high purpose and i'm
perial will His early days were spent
in unwearied study, so that allhs af-
ter harvest was the result of previous
and often painful toll. Minerva,
springing fullarmed from the brain of
Joye, is interesting fable and charm
ing poetry, but has no analogy in hu-
man experience. The victories OF
mind are won only after hard struggle
and lofty purpose and patient wait
ing. And the dazzling career OF Scar
gent S. Prentiss was no exception.
"Rut another lesson pressed. upon
me as l stood uncovered at the grave
of Prentiss-a lesson Of solemn warn
ing. That magnanimous and magnif.
icent genius died before his time. My
heart protested against the crue
grave claiming such an early victory
He ought longer to have lived and
grandly served his generation by the
will Of God. The victim Of socia
conditions and temptations, his glo
rious sun went down when it was yel
day. Iknow Of no more pathetic pic
ture than this young man Of god-likt
genius, after a masterful argument
that swept court and jury before hin
talking to a friend on the veranda o
the St. Charles Hotel IN New Orleans
He said: Your children will grow VI
while yet you live. / shall never see
mine other than children. Like Lao
coon in the folds Of the snake, the ser
pent OF habit coils around me, and ]
fear its strength is too powerful fol
mine. Perhaps had my angel Of TO
day been my angel when man, l hat
never wooed the scorpion which /.

THE PLATFORM.

J. D. Ponder then made his entrance
from the antechamber. Anyone could
see that he was loaded with an address.
He held a huge roll of manuscript in
his hand and approached with the
stealthy tread of tragedian.
He unfolded the Instrument which
he held in his hand made a graceful
''sweet girl graduate" bow and in q
deep, deep voice, whose solemn tones
filed the entire room and awakened
the echoes, proceeded to read as fol-
lows:
Bon. T. J. Beall, Chairman City
Democratic Convention.
Sir-Your committee on resolutions
and platform beg leave to report as fol-
lows:
That the platform upon which this
convention wishes its nominees to go
before the public, is:
1st-For Ell Paso and its people.
2nd-An honest progressive admins
tration.
And we ask further to submit the
following:
Whereas, The present city admins
tration has accomplished more for the
advancement OF every interest of this
city and people than any former ad-
ministration, and has given entire sa-

ent. 1t was explained, however. that
the few who affiliated with the demo
Gratis had not recovered sufficiently
from the effect of the banquent of the
previous night and as a consequence
Dennis Storms was not able to marshal
his forces.
Office holders and tax eaters in
abundance attended the meeting and
the police were much in evidence.
Charley Patterson and Harry Char
man were both present as dele
gates as were George Wallace and Ben
Catliu.
Jim Ponder had slowed away in his
inside pocket, an eloquent set of resell
utions eulogizing Magoffin. The lead
ing candidate for official favors he'd
been sitting up nights for a week
preparing h1scresolutions and when he
read them he seemed to throw his
whole soul into the effort. Ponder Is a
poet and Magoffin was his theme.
Attorney T. J. Beall is an eminent
lawyer and is master of the art of de-
Tending a client. He paid beautiful
tributes to his client. Magoffin, AID
worked the audience into a frenzy.
He made the old man appear a Demt-
gCd.
G. r. Morehead, whose master mind
had planned the convention weeks
ahead. looked in at the door to see If

bend and it was done''
. The resolutions were then endorsed
by rising vote.
NOMIN ATOMS.
Dennis Storms put forward the name
of George Ogden for alderman from
the First. He was nominated.
J. B. Radger nominated John Bur-
ton to represent the second ward and
he was nominated by the convention.
J. L. Whitmore of the Third was
named by DR.. Yandell as the choice of
that delegation and Mr.. Whitmore was
nominated.
Everything progressed smoothly
enough until Gus Buckler had put up
the name of John Drummer to repre-
sent the Fourth. Gus said it was
wholly unnecessary for him to detail
the many good qualities possessed by
Drummer.
LABORING MEN PROTEST.
The nomination was seconded and
Chairman Beall was in the act of put
ing it to the house for ratification
when a tall, gray haireds man, in the
corner, rose up suddenly and in COM
manding voice demanded the chair to
"hOld on there."
In the name of the labor organiza-

his henchmen were carrying out tn
program, and then went away. Captain
Charles Davis, Morehesd's able lieu
tenant. managed the whole shebane
and thwarted daring effort that wa
made to foist q set of resolutions upoI
the convention condemning the Philip
pine wars. The sentiment OF the con-
vention was overwhelmingly in favor
of the resolution but the gold bug party
managers saw that such action would
never do and were quick to rise in arms
against it
The incident caused a tremendous
disturbance, as also did another which
was squelched by Harry Chairman,
member of more labor org anizations"
than any man in town.
THE PROCEEDINGS.
Captain Charles Davis called the
convention to order few minutes after
eight O'Clock. Charles Patterson i'm
mediately nominated L. J. Beall for
temporary chairman and he was elect
ed and conducted to the rostrum by Jim
Magotfio and John Harper.
After taking the seat Captain Beall
delivered an able eulogy.t Her recount

Charlie Patterson, committees on ere

A recess of fifteen minutes was

committees fled into the convention

Harry Wood reported for the com

the list of delegates as already publish
