JAcKsoN, MIss., JULY 10Th The
Tor the United States Sem
ate are now In the home stretch and
pudding forth their best running.
For the past week they have been
reaching out for the last quarter post
at q lively clip, and SO fast has been
the pace that Senator Money has
found It necessary to call on his SON
in-law, Congressman w. s. Hin, tol
take the stump ia his INTEREST," Mr..
Hill, it Is understood, will continue
actively in the field until the primary
on the sixth of August.
In the LonginO boom there has
been no abatement Of zeal or cessa-
tion OF activity. OnIthe contrary as
the end approaches vigilance is being
redoubled and effective campaigning
continues in every quarter. 1t Is
asserted with confidence that Cover
nor Longino will positively carry
forty five counties, and even giving
Senator Money the ten counties con-
sidered doubtful he could not possibly |
win. furthermore, Longino will
carry a large majority Of the counties
having the largest legislative vote,
and of the 178 votes on joint legisla-
tive ballot he will get not less than
10 and possibly 12O. ~
| Attempt has been made during the
past week to raise a great fuss and
feathers over the declaration of Ex-
Judge w. X. McLaurin, of Vicks-
burg, that his brother, Senator A. J.
Mclaurin, is friendly to the candidacy
Of Senator Money. Investigation Of
the matter shows that Judge Nc
Laurin is not his brothers keeper,
neither is he authorized to act as his
moutf1-piece. In the presence OF
several gentlemen a few days since
Senator McLaurin declared that he
was strictly hands off in the Longino-
Money fight. adding ''If they leave
me alone IN leave them alone. :"
Personally he is on the friendliest
terms with the governor and rarely
, comes to the city without dropping
in for social chat with his successor
in the gubernatorial chair. The
animus OF Judge McLaurin's remarks
is easily ascertained when it is re-
; membered that he was candidate
= for re-appointment to the circuit
iudgeship of his district and was
. turned down shortly after Gov.
2 Longino was inducted into office.
D Naturally hecherishes remembrance
q of the fact, but the feeling that
rankles in his heart is not entertained
4 by other members of the family who
were acquainted with the details OF
r the fight that was being made.
D Governor Longino spoke to ar
y immense audience at Raymond Tues
day, and in his speech of introduction
u Hon. Ben III. Wells touched a key
S note which illustrates the motive OF
great deal of the bitter antagonisn
to Governor Longino which is nov
asserting itself. In part he said:
:'He has made the mistake o
It failing to use the power and tn
;, prestige of that high Office to build VI
y a personal political party in the Stat
70 of Mississippi; he has made the mis-
d take, as Governor of this State, tt
+, demand that the people OF this com
e monwealth and all Of its subordinat
s. officers should submit themselves t
ID the law, rather than to reign 9
A. anarchy and mob rule; he has mad
e, the mistake in the use of the ar
,g pointing power, to look to the bes
al interests of the people who electe
lg him rather than to his own person;
political promotion; he has made th
mistake Of desoting his time an
49,, attention to the business intereS1
" of the State rather than the politics
ne interests Of the politician. II the:
as are mistakes he. has made them, all.
rvl Search the ranks Of the Longir
At opposition and you will find there
~ all of the disgruntled politicians wi
NC have failed to secure the places
es- which they aspired, and all OF Il
ST. boilers who left the Democratic part
