while the actual have developed
that the Governor is much the
stronger of the two. In the very
nature of things this must be true.
Longino represents the present
land the future. Money represents
'only the past. Longino like mod

new dispensation and the hope of
better things in the future. Money
like Jeremiah of old, only predicts
an Illiad of woes. One is an op

people of Mississippi, who believe
that their State is destined to a
