AIcorn County Democrats Endorse
Alien for the Senate

"Whereas, the Hon. J. NJ. Allen, who
has represented US so faithfully and so
efficiently in Congress for the past
| fifteen years is now a candidate for
United States Senator for Mississippi;
and,
"Whereas, he is now, and has always
been a Democrat, without variance
or turning, and has always been one
of the strongest defenders of DemOc-
racy in this State, having at all times
since he entered public life actively
participated in the fight against op,
position to Democracy of any kind
throughout the entire State; and,
"Whereas, it is well-known fact
that whenever an aggressive and fear
less battle was to be fought anywhere
in the State for Democracy he was
the one man looked to to make the fight
and having never sulked in his tent,
this eminent service to his party en-
titles him to receive the highest reward
in the gift of his party; and,
"WhereaS, we as part of the congress
sional district have perfect confidence
in his ability, honesty and fidelity,
do point with pride to the splendid
record he has made in Congress; and,

nizing that he is equal to the most
skilled attack of the adversary, hav-
ing time and again called him to
different States of this great Union
to fight the party battles;. therefore,
Resolved, That we hereby most
cheerfully embrace this opportunity of
recommending him to the Democracy
of this State, and urge with all earn
estness of our nature his election as
United States Senator from Mississip
pi, and hereby instruct our Represent
atives and Senator in the next Legisla-
ture to vote for Hon. j. Nj. Allen for
Senator, and do all they honorably can
do to secure his election.
Resolved, That we indorse the un- |
daunted fight he has made in this can
vass to restore Mississippi to her once
proud position among her sisterhood
of States, and believing that his bold
ness and intelligence and absolute
fearlessness, the only type of man who
could purge Mississippi politics of its
present impurities, it is only right he,
and no other, should receive the re-
reward. He who would wear the
spurs, must win them"

"OUR REMARKABLE GOVERNOR"


Gov. McLaurin is sometimes ironi-
cally referred to by his critics as sour
remarkable Governor" There is one
sense, however, in which the term will
apply without the slightest grain of
sarcasm or irony. We refer to the
frequency with which he has been in
volved in questions of veracity with
gentlemen in every respect as worthy
of credence as himself. In this re-
spect, he stands without an equal
among all the distinguished men who
have ever figured in public life i'll
Mississippi. Here he is indeed a ne
markable Governor" without rival.
Let us recite a part of the recond.
Taking statements solemnly made by
Gov. McLaurin for the truth and laying
them down by the side of those made
by others and we find there have been
questions of verocity between him and
Lieut.. Gov. Jones, between him and
Speaker McCool, between him and
Senator Murray F. Smith, between
him and Hon. Charles Scott, between
him and Judge Tim E. Cooper, be-
tween him and Ex.-GOv. Lowry, be-
tween him and Judge S. r. Coleman,
between him and Editor Bellenger.
There are others, but these are all we
recall at the present moment. Can it
be that all of these gentlemen are uRs
worthy of belief and that the govern
or is the only George Washington of
them all9 We cannot think SO.

Gov. McLaurin Caught on
Another Question of Ve-
racity.
His Word is on One Side, His
Handwriting on the Other.
The Original Of the Famous Article
Signed Spectator"

jackson Correspondence n. o. Picayune.
Congressman John M. Allen has
impaled Governor McLaurin on his
own pen.
During the joint debate between AL
len and McLaurin, candidates for the
long term in the United States Senate,
at Macon, Noxubee county, on May 81,
1899, Allen read from newspaper clip
ping communication signed "Specta-
tor" which he charged Governor Nc
Laurin had written for the jackson
Evening News, during the controversy
between the governor and the legisla-
ture over the new capitol bill, and
that the same was in the handwriting
of the governor.
Governor McLaurin denied having
written such communication, and
defiantly said that it could not be
produced. Mr.. Allen did not have the
original at the time, and had never
seen 1t. After the Macon debate, how
ever, Mr.. Allen procured the original,
which appears herewith in fac smile
form, followed by certificate from
Mr.. Bellinger, editor of the Evening
News in 1897, and statement from
Mr.. Allen, in which both these gentle
men say that they recognize the
handwriting of the original "Spacta
tor" article as that of Governor Nc
Laurin.
The first appearance of the anony-
nous Spectator" article on the stump
was its reading by Hon. Robt. Lowry
in his Meridian speech, April Il, 1899.
Here is what the eminent Mississip-
plan, who was twice governor of the
State, said of that production. which,
in it's present connection, will be read
with increased interest:
SIN reference to uncovering from
ambush some who we're assulting him,
in which he includes myself, and how
Governor McLaurin obtained the man
uscript of mine which he exhibited at
Meridian, which l have already stated
should have been read and published,
the governor, without the least idea OF
so intending, unmasked his own batter
les, exposed himself, and demonstrated
that he was an Indian fighter, shooting
from behind trees, as will be seen by
an article over the signature of "Specta-
tor" charged to have been written by
himself, about himself. seeking, as
chief of the executive department of
the State, to influence legislative ac'
ton in matter of the greatest mag
nitude. This unusual communication,
of which he is the published author,
strikes blow at the distribution Of
powers as defined by the constitution
that is infinitely more dangerous than
any imagined assaults of which he
complains. 1t is without rival in
statecraft He says it was the duty of
the governor to see that the State was
not swindled. | will add that like
obligation devolved on the members of
the legislature, and there are 17S Of
them, and just one of the governor.
The governors references to me we're
of his seeking, not mine. In the role
of Spectator" in ambush, he exploded
his guns, and inflicted wounds upon
himself which will leave scars that
only generous public can remove"

One of the most enjoyable things
which has occurred in Brookhaven in
long while was the joint discussion
on the night of the 5th between Messrs
Chrisman and Scarborough, candidates
for State Senator. 1t was ''as good as
circus" and the almost unanimous
verdict of the audience was that the
genial and witty "parson" came out
several car-lengths ahead of his talent
ed lawyer opponent. In fact, the hand
some vote received by Bro. Scarbor-
ough at the Brookhaven box was main
ly due to that nights speech.

Senator Sullivan declared in speech
at Holly Springs Tuesday that McLau.
rim had promised to support him (Sul-
livan) for the long term when he ap.
pointed him as Walthall's successor
but that the Governor had since

US, Allen says the Governor has always
been willing to support him for any
office he didn't want himself.

Olinghouse gulch was rather quiet
this season. Seven of the quartz

HORRIBLE CRIME
Woman and Child Murdered
in Lander County

Acknowledgement Jones received the
following telegram from Austin y~ester-
day afternoon:
Austin, Nov. 2, 1899.
Billy Del Gresso's wife and oldest baby
murdered yesterday at Bridges Station.
No particulars.
F. H. TRIPLETT.
Mr.. Del Crosse is a Swiss-Italian, is
section foreman on the Nevada Central,
the narrow gauge road that runs from
Battle Mountain to Austin, and has been
in the employ of that road for several
years. He is an industrious and reliable
nan and has by economy saved cOnsid-
cradle money, and probably the muir
derer expected to find money in the
house, as it is situated Is or 20 miles from
Fred Steiner's ranch, the nearest neigh
Dor. Bridges Station is on the plains
and the murderers could see along the
track for miles and know just where the
husband and father of the murdered
wife and child was at work hen the
awful deed was committed, and il it was
committed i'll the middle of the day the
fends could be miles away lefore the
crime would be discovered.
Austin is about so miles south of the
place and it would be late in the night
after the crime was committed before
the officers would be notified, and the
culprits could have many miles the
start. Gen. Jones informs the APPEAL
that Mrs. Del Crosse also had a young
baby, and that it must have been
spared and left with the dead until the
father came home at night. Mrs. Del
Crosse was a young N and was
married to Mr.. Del Crosse four or five
years Q in Switzerland, whilst he
was at home on a visit to relatives. and
the murdered baby was about two
years old.
Seven or eight years ago Sam Runde'

and brother-in-law in Italian Canyor

Has Cure for Consumption

Columous, O., June AT 10.
day 5 session Of the American Msdi.
cal association a sensational report
was presented On the cure of con-
sumption by Francisque Crotte, the
eminent and widely known chemist
OF Paris France, Mr.. Crotte has
cured more than 1000 hopeless con-
sumption cases, and in support of
his statement he has offered to treat
and cure gratis 500 consumptives
from the different states in the
union.
He comes to America with the
highest credentials from the most
eminent physicians and the press in
Europe, who verify the truth of his
statements.
The treatment is very scientific
and consists of the inhalations of
formaldehyde vapor, transported di-
rectly through the tissues by the aid
of light tension static electricity. He
is establishing a sanitsrium at
Pekin, Ill, and clynics at New York,
Chicogo and Los Angeles Much
interest was manifested in the re-
port, and many Of the physicians

DIR. Crotte more closely On his dis.
covery. A number of eminent ply
siclans expressed the opinion that
al absolute cure for tuberculosis
had at last been found.
