guments and paced the resolution,
I offered Mr.. Goodies to consent
to have the committee to call . pri'
mary to decide our nomination, o.
to run by nomination papers a the
old committee had decided. He
fatty refused to run in any way cx'
cept IN his own way snd under biz
own resolution. This clearly showed
that he thought the convention plan
would give him IN advantage over
me, and that be was afraid 10 face
the people in . primary.
Under this state Of facts I shall
certainly not participate in The
alleged convention called BY the
committee. What small MEASURE Of
good sense / may possess will mol
allow me TO 60 into . contest which
has been fixed" 10 advance; MOI
viii nv self-respect permit me e
agree to . plan about which I was
never consulted and which involves
= total disregard Of my rights.
But It 10 not alone to me that {
wrong has been done. The Demo
Gratis Of St. Tammany Parish have
been wronged, and their rights have
been cold or given away. There
never has been . time when Wash.
ington Parish met st. Tammany
Parish On an equal footing in . pc.
litical convention St. Tammany
Parish has always had . larger
representation, and Was and 10 en-.
titled 20 it. But this Il now changed.
The two members OF the Judicial
Committee from St. Tammany who
we're present 1t this meeting, r. n.
Burns and r. C. Smith, have decided
that the representation Of st. Tam.
many Parish shall be reduced to
that OF Washington Parish. They
did this deliberately for the purpose
Of defeating : candidate from St.
Tsmmany Parish and electing I
candidate from Washington Parish.
and 10 90 dong they sacrificed the
rights Of the Democratic Of st. Tam.
many Parish. This - establishing :
precedent which I predict the
Democrats Of st. Tammany Parish
will find j: difficult to set aside. II
50 they will know where to place the
blame.
In conclusion 1 desire to say that
I have the satisfaction Of feeling
that in no instance since became
. candidate have I taken or 1T
tempted to take any advantage oi
my opponent, but that on the con.
:rAry I have refrained from taking
advantage Of him, Is he knows,
when the opportunity was offered
me to do 50. Very respectfully.

MANY AND WASHING
TON PARISHES.

Coyington, Ia, Feb. 26, 1900
There will probably appear this
week in the newspapers Of your
parishes IN account Of the pro-
ceediups Of the Democratic Judi
cial COMMITTEES for the 'rwenty.sixtll
judicial District and . notice OF :
convention called by such COMMITTEES
Tor the nomination Of Judge and
District Attorney.
Having announced myself rs .
Democrstic candidate for the office
Of Distriet Attorney, and having re-
ceiyed from many Of you assurance
Of your support, I tiink it due to
Won to state my reasons for notpar-
ticipaling in such convention.
The District Judicial Committee
met IN Amite City, in December
last. aud discussed the methods OF
making nominations for Judge and
District Attorney for the district.
- "a, then ascertained that there
- Init ons candidate for the office
az District Judge, and only two can
didates for District AttOrney-Mr.
Gordon W. Goodbee and myself.
Twas not present or represented ut
that meeting.
Mr.. H. +. Ellis, Mr.. Gocdbee'e
mariner, and Mr.. I. III. Burns, one
e hin most ardent supporters, held
he proxies OF all, Or nearly oil, the
members OF the committee. II was
decided by them that it would not
he fair to Mr. Goodbee to bold a ju-
dicial primary at the same time the
senatorial primary was held in st.
Tammany and Washington parishes,
because The primary for the nomi
nation Of parish officers was - be
held In st. TammanY parish on the
same day anG it vas estimated that
: large vote would be polled in 81.
TammanY parish, for that reason.
While the vote in Washington parish
would be light because the people
would not turn out to attend mere
senatorial primary the idea icing |
int nv strength lay in st. Tam
many parish and Mr.. Goodbee's In
Washington parish.
TIA committee accordingly de-
c,dcd that It would not call either .
coavention OF primary for the nomt-
r.tion az the judicial officers, but
~onId leave tie candidates to 20
unou tht ticket BY petition IN the
msnber provided BY Law or: q It

Of Tie committee, 70 run 40

cocted by himself and others who

THE TORNADO n MISSISSIPPI.
Lives Lost, and tn,
Death List Growing

TVenty-efght Lives Lost, and the
Death List Growing.
Memphis, Nov 22.-Adyiees received
from the storm swept sections of Miss
issippi, Arkansas and Tennessee indi-
cate that the loss of life and damage
to property is far greater than at first
reported. The difficulties in the way
of securing information from the de-
wasted section are almost insurmount-
able. The places affected are remote
and isolated, and at best they are not
well equipped with means of commune
cation
In Mississippi the greatest loss of
life and damage to property occurred
near Tunica, Lulu and Hennando The
tornado's devastation was so great
that it will take weeks to calculate and
repair it. Five negroes lost hcir lives
on Hamlin Place. More than so me-
groes are missing, and it is 1eared that
several of them have perisned.
At fernando a white man was killed
and negro fatally injured by flying
debris. Numerous sawmills, several
residences and hundreds of negro cab
ms were blown away. At Love Sta
ton j. S. Doney, a white man, was
crushed by flying debris.
At Arkabucla, Tate county, Miss,
the storm overwhelmed the town about
5 O'Clock in the afternoon. and in few
minutes nearly every building was de-
molished Many of the victims were
pinned under the wreckage and were
extricated with much difficulty The
tornado passed to the northeast and
caused much damage through the
country districts
From different points In Mississippi
other casualties are reported, the
aames of IL dead persons being given.

Trenton, Nov 19-The charred re-

and her 2-year-old daughter were
found yesterday morning in the ruins
of their home at Trenton junction,
which was destroyed by fire Saturday
night. Robert Hensen, also colored,
was lodged in the Mercer county Jail
here last night and committed to await
a hearing on the charges of the MUIR
der of Mrs. Vanlieu and her daughter
and the burning of their home.
Mrs. Vanlieu was a respectable col
ored woman. Her husband was in
Trenton Saturday night, and upon re-
turning home found the house Destroy
ed by fire. He sought refuge for the
night with neighbor, supposing that
his wife and child had escaped safely
from the burning house and would put
IN an appearance in the morning. Her
failure to do SO led to a search of the
ruins, and the charred bodies we're
then found
