place at the Escambia county demo-
cratic convention last Saturday when
Hon. John 3. Jones, the leader OF
one faction, nominated Hon. Charles
B. Parkhill. the leader of the oppos-
ing faction, for reelection as chair
man OF the county executive COM
mittee-because of the absolute hon
esty, fairness and impartiality with
which he managed the recent prima-
ries and had conducted the affairs Of
the party during the last two years
and the convention elected him by
unanimous vote. No politician ever
received a higher compliment than
this.

GEN. ROSSER'S CLUB. ,

Gen. Rosser has formed Mckinley
club at Charlottesville, so rumor says,
real nice club. a white club we hear,
no 'coOns' in it, no hack drivers, no
shoe sinners, no BARRIERS, no walters.
no "cullud'' parsons. or other riff raft.
All African musk, and ebo shins. and
gizzard feet have been carefully omit
ted, 80 that the general, who has only
been little while in the party, will
not suffer in his olfactOriss. A club
arranged on such lines at Charlottes-
vile must necessarily be small and
particularly select. Material for the
Rosser- Mckinley club must be high
priced during these prosperous times
owing to scarcity of supply and the
quality in demand. We do not see
how a club of such selects" can insure
Gen. Rosser the PostOffice. A Repub-
lican club in the South must be Re-
publican club. and must have few
dark lines wrought about it, else it is
a poor implement with which to knock
out postoffice home run.
We can lily imagine what must be
the feeling of the negroes Of Char
lottesville when they find themselves
forced into the Jim Crow end OF the
ROsser- Republican coach. They will
naturally resent it, they ought to re-
sent it. Ii Gen. Rosser wants that
postoffice, and we suppose he does, and
his convictions" have led him to see
a way to procure it, he ought not to
imagine that he can do so without
licking little of the dust, such as all
of his predecessors, who have suddenly
been troubled with convictions"
have licked. He must humble himself
if he would he exalted. He cannot break
down all precedent, nor ignore his obli-
cations to the negroes. He cannot
reach his political destination on a
Republican Jim Crow Car, and as a
friend-in disguise-we warn him
against the attempt.
