uoNEY's NEGRO RECORD.

From the wesson Enterprise. /.
Senator Money, who voted TO confirm
every negro appointed TO office in Mig
sissippi by Republican president since
he has been in the Senate, is quite fierce
In his TRADE on Governor Longino be-
cause the State Board of Election Com
missioners has named a negro election
commissioner, Negro election commits
sioners have been named by the State
Board OF Election Commissioners ever
since the Democratic party came into
power in 1879. They have served as
county election commissioners under the
administrations Of Governors Stcne,
Lowry and McLaurin, and when these
gentlemen were at the head OF the State
Board OF Election Commissioners, lust
as Gov. Longino is now, negroes have
been named as election commissioners
In isolated cases for obvious reasons.
The law torbids the appointment OF all
three Of the county commissioners from
the same political party. County Dem
ocratic Executive Committees therefore
frequently petition the State Board to
appoint negro in preference TO some
white Republican who Is an applicant.
Senator Money 80 assails Governor Lon
gino for appointing two negroes nota-
ries public, notwithstanding the fact
that Governor Longino was petitioncd to
do by the leading Democrats and busi-
ness men, including the circuit judges
at Greenville and Vicksburg, as well as
Mayor Shields of Greanville and Mayor
Trowbridge Of Viclesburg, both of.whom
are supporters Of Senator Money. Other
governors have appointed negro notaries,
1t being well understood that no white
man need do any business with negro
notary unless he desires to do 80. Gov
ernor McLaurin appointed Tom v. Me-
Allister notary public at Vicksburg.
Senators George, Lamar, Walthall nor
McLaurin never criticised Democratic
Board OF State Election Commissioners
headed by Democratic Governor for
putting in negro election commissioners
here and there, nor did they criticise
Gov. McLaurin for appointing negro
notary public. Money is the only Sem
ator who eyer criticised a Democratic
Governor for these things or for appoint
ing negro notaries public, and it comes
with Ill grace for him to do 80 since he
has voted for every negro postmaster
and every other negro nominated for Of
flee in Mississippi by Republican pres
ident, according to his own statement in
speech in the United States Senate.
In that speech Senator Money declared
that he had voted for the confirmation
Of negroes to make the Republican par
ty odious In Mississippi; recently he
crossed himself on the stump and said
he did it to keep from losing his influ-
ence before the Senate committees, The
Senate committees are composed OF q
majority OF Republicans with republi-
can chairman, so by Senator Moneys
latest confession he is willing to vote foI
for the confirmation of negro postmas-
ters, including Minnie Cox, postmaster
at Indianola, and to put negroes int'
other important offices in Mississippi in
order to stand in with Republicans il
the Senate Committees.

Cen. McClurg has placed Money in no.

If Money should be reelected to the
Senate, it makes possible the chance OF
John Sharpe Williams being his success

ambition will be nipped in the bud. Sell
preservation is the first law Of nature,
and Mr.. Williams is not unlike other

GOV. LONGING REPLIES TO SLANDEROUS CIRCULAR.

Atsome OF his recent appointments Gov
Longino has referred In no uncertain
terms to scurrilous attack made upon
MIN by the editor OF the okolona Nee
senger, entitled 'Longino's Negro Rec
ord" and which is being circulated
throughout the State in circular form.
Without mincing matters or qualifying
words, the Governor denounces the pub-
iication as a campaign lie; and takes
up the several chsrges and answers them
specifically.
He says that B. @. Branch, who he
had appointed Notary Public at viclxs-
burg, had been recommended by the best
citizens of that city, including the Cir
cult Judge and Mayor, and that he did
not know that Branch was a negro until
after the appointment had been made.
In regard TO the appointments Of ], C.
Chapple, Notary Public at Greenyiile.
he said that ChappIe had been recom-
mended 70 him as negro OF good char
acter, worthy Of the trust, and his petit
ton was signed by the best white men
OF Greenville, including the Judge OF the
District, and the Mayor of the city. In
neither Of the above instances we're any
objections made to the appointments.
Referring to the appointments OF the
negro Election Commissioner in wilkin-
son county the Governor said that the
appointce had been recommended TO the
State Board Of Election Commissioners
as suitable person to name as the Re
publican member, and that no reference
was made to the fact that he was n me-
gro. Under the law all three county
election commissioners could not be
named from the same political party, and
the State Board made this appointment.
IL was afterwards learned that he was
negro, and Objectionable TO the people
OF the county, and his resignation was
called for and a white Republican APP
pointed in his stead.

GOV. LONGING HOLDS THE PUBLIC
! VEAL AS THE POLAR STAR OF
his OFFICIAL ACTION.

'oThe phenomenally successful can
yass," says a writer in the Clarion-Led-
ger, (which Governor Longino is maxi
ing throughout the State has been a
matter Of pleasant surprise to his friends.
"Six weeks ago it looked like Senator
Money would have walk over; today
even his warmest advocates admit that
his chances are doubtful, while Cover
nor Longino's supporters are claiming
the earth.
''It was thought by many at first that
Senator Money would simply wipe
up the earth with the Governor on
the stump, while the actual facts
have developed that the Governor is
much the stronger speaker OF the two.
In the very nature Of things this must be
true. Longino represents the present
and the future. Money represents only
the past. Longino, like a modern John
the Baptist, proclaims new dispensa-
ton and the hope Of better things in the
future. Money, like jeremiah odd, only
predictsan Had Of woes. One is an OPP
timist, the other pessimist.
sis it any wonder then that the people
Of Mississippi, who believe that their
State is destined to glorious future,
should turn to the rising, rather than to
the setting sun.
despite the howl Of disappointed po-
liticians, the people Of Mississippi, |
mean the hard working, honest, COM
mon people Of Mississippi, have never
yet proven themselves ungrateful to
faithful public service, and they are re-
eognizing in Governor Longino man
who has deserved well Of his people,
that in spite Of great abuse, in spite Of
Misrepresentation, he has always had
the public veal as the Polar star Of his
official action, That to his official
obligations hehas been sublimely true.
Under his administration as COVER
nor the State has wonderfully prosper
ed, and every true son Of Mississippi re-
ioices in the fact. Capital has enor-
mously increased, numerous public ms
titutions have been built, taxes have
been reduced, the State debt has been
paid, the common school fund has been
doubled.
All, Mr.. Editor, the people, the com
mon people are not fools, they don't
forget these things, 80 when the polls
ara open y ou will hear from them.

it mildly. They simply gasped, and one and all

the ground showed that they evidently had
labored faithfully for several hours. Then they
had retired to sundry shady. comfortable spots
and slept. When my friend the planter looked
for his glass eye the mystery as to how they
had overcome their superstitious fears was ex-
planned The glass eye was still on the stump,
but it was carefully covered with little tin
pail. While the natives thought the eye was
watching they had worked hard. Then the
bright idea had occurred to one of them that if
the eye was covered it could not tell anything
to it's owner. They had acted this idea and
then promptly knocked off work"
