HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
FUTURE OF MISSISSIPPI DISCUSSED
BY III. S. HYATT, OF BILOXI.
He Thinks the Republicans Could
Carry Several Southern states with
Proper EnOrt-HOteI Visitors.

II. S. Hyatt, OF Biloxi. Miss. immigra-
tion and colonizing agent OF the L. & n.
hailroad Company, thinks that the State
of Mississippi is normally a Republican
State. With the proper effort on the part
of the Republican managers of the North
he believes that Mississippi as well as
Louisiana and Alabama could be carried
by the Republicans at the next national
election.
Mr.. Hyatt is a frequent visitor to In
dianapolis and makes the Stubbins House
his headquarters when here. He went to
Mississippi first in 1873. while member Of
the Iowa State Board of immigration, to
make an investigation of the States indus
trial resources. He has made his home
there pretty much since that year and is
enthusiastic over the prospects of the
State.
In discussing the negro question Mr.
Hyatt declared yesterday that there is not
one Southern man in thousand who would
revive slavery If he could. Mr.. Hyatt says
the colored man is practically in the sad
die in Mississippi. Hyatt is stanch Re
publican and has been one for years. but
he declares he has never voted the Repub-
ncan ticket In Mississippi nor attended a
Republican meeting in that State.
Il have an adherence of the carpet-ba e
office-hOlding ring in that State" he ex-
planned. Mr.. Hyatt thinks the national Re-
publican committee or some other combina-
ton OF Republicans should cause State
Republican newspaper TO be started in Mis-
sissippi. He says the only Republican papers
Ia that State are edited by cOlored men and
OF course, the whites will not read these
papers.
Mr.. Hyatt says that had not President
Roosevelt dined with Booker T. Washing
ton he would be a very popular man
throughout the South to-day yet while his
action was not approved by many white
People OF the South. the better class Of
thinking people down there do not look
Cpon this act as reflection on the Repub-
hcan party. Mr.. Hyatt says he has been in
thirty states and Territories and he does
not know OF a town with better paved
streets than Biloxi. The streets are paved
with shells. which makes fine thorough
fares. Biloxi is a gulf city situated about
eighty miles east of New Orleans. The late
Jefferson Davis had home within few
miles OF this place.
