A CONFESSION OF DEFEAT.

!. A CONFESSION OF DEFEAT.
The Money Winona caucus, asido
from its weakness SO far as numbsR
was concerned was a confession bf,aG
Longino was going to be elected.
The people are behind LonginoL He
has done something for them.
Money has been in Congress fnk
twenty-five years and there is nothing
to show for all this time. The follow
ing special to the Jackson News from
Winona shows just what the Winonz
meeting was and how little it amount
ed to. Longino's friends need but
to stand firm and Money will be the
worst defeated man that ever aspire9
to succeed himself for the UniteE
States Senate from Mississippi:
W1NoNA, Mss. July GA great
deal of stuff has been sent out from
this place in regard to the Money
caucus that was held here Thursday,
the people of Mississippi into the he
lief that it was a great big affair with
delegates present from all parts of the
State. The truth about the caucus
was that it was a very slim affair
In the interest Of the truth your
correspondent has secured the names
of those present and participating ic
that caucus. In his speech at Green
wood last Monday Senator Money
stated that he did not regard GoveE-
nor Longino's candidacy seriously.
and yet at that very moment il
seems that a call had been sent out
to his friends throughout, the State
to meet in caucus in WinOna for the
purpose of organizing vigorous cam
paign in Moneys interest, or if the
Winona meeting had not then been
arranged Money became alarmed al
the result of this joint debate he
tween himself and his opponent at
Greenwood, and sent out hurried
calls throughout the State for his
friends Ito come over and help him."
In the reports that went out from
here, boosting this caucus, it waR
stated that more than thirty coun-
ties were represented and that it wax
a large and enthusiastic meeting
The people of Mississippi will be
surprised when they are told just
how small that meeting was and
when it's personnel is published the
people in some of the counties will be
greatly surprised when they find out
who stood sponsor for them in thaI
caucus. The News correspondent

out from here by the friends of thu
caucus, so that the public may know
exactly what the import OF this meet

Senator Money were conspicuous by
their absence. 1t is a matter of fre-
lquent remark in central MississipPi
that most of the former influential
supporters of Senator Monpy-1n his
old congressional district are actively
supporting Governor Longino in Hs1iE
