Grand Ovation Given Longino At
Ocean Springs.

Ocean Springs. Miss, July I4-Gov-
ernor A. II. Longino. candidate for the
United States Senate, spoke here to-
night ut the firemeD's Hall. The Gov
ernor arrived on the Gas northbound
train, aud was met at the depot by
large crowd aud the local brass band.
The enthusiasm OF the crowd here was
such that he was compelled 10 hold an
impronptu reception on the depot plat
form He was then escorted TO the
Ocean Springs Hotel, where he wes the
guest of DIR. X. b. Powell at a supper.
Notwithstanding the inclemency OF the
weather, the largest aud most enthusi-
astic crowd was present that has con-
gregated in Ocean Springs for years.
am >ug whom were many ladies and a
large delegation from Scranton. Mary
people from the surrounding country
were also present,
Governor Longino had the sympathy
and approval OF his audience the entire
time and was repeatedly cheered aud
applauded.
The speaker was introduced by Hon.
T. NJ. Weed, who made few concise
and well-chosen remarks. The Gov
ernor spoke along the following lines:
He expressed a regret that his OPP
ponent was not present, and stated that
an offer TO canvass the state jointly had
been refused by Senator Money. He
denounced the circulars recently sent
out by the opposition as "a tissue OF
lies and false from the beginning TO the
concluding sentence His discussion
Of the doctrines oi the Democratic and
Republican Parties was instructive and
interesting and received close attention.
He disc Issed at some length the race
question and declared il 10 be dead
issue and one killed by the constitu-
tional Convention and buried beyond
hope OF disinterment under the public
sentiment of the people OF the state.
Fsfe charged that his opponent was
merely using the topic to appeal 10 the
D passions and prejudices OF certain
Glass, hoping thereby TO obtain their
support. He discussed and favored
larger governmental appropriations for
pthe improvement of the Mississippi
waterways, aud pledged himself, if elec..
ted, TO concentrate his efforts 10 that
eud. The educational question was dis
cussed and Mississippi congratuls ted
that during the last four years more
than 81 soc, 900 had been spent for this
purpose more than during any similar
length of time in the history of the
state. He paid a glowing tribute TO the
confederate veterans and the women OF
the south.
His speech consumed about two
hours, least three si::as.s:s Q. ho-r
of which was the result OF continued in
tcrruptions OF cheering and applause.

que ell hado en- sus decretos le marcara,
v triste se ausent6 del patrio suelo
en- bnsca de 0tro sol v de otro cello,
que sus ensueiios de ambicion colmara.
Y ALA, muy lesbos de los patrios lAres,
entire los mil AltAres,
que alc6 6cada recuerdo mi memoria,
una militia rubia Sc vefa,
que an medic de 10 noche aparecfa
entire nimbos de luz. de luz y gloria.
Ain 10 recuerao bien iSuef1o dorado
Ls plaza y su arboladO
tu gracia infantil, que e-a un portento,
m&s de una vez mis- penas aliviaron.
cuAndo mi suef1o, Sin querer, ,turbaron
4 10 trancuila psz del cAmpamento.
Y aquel tempo paso; como 10 guerra.
al volver 6 mi TERRA
TODD 10 hsl,e cambiado; tan cambiadc
que la plaza es mas chioa menos bella,
tti, "a no eres la chiquilia squella
que tanto en- mis- ensue7os he aamirado;
yA eres una mujer y en- tn bellexA
hizo naturaleza
mn derroche de encantos y de galas.
Ohl hermosa nina, de mi patria estrella,
deja & mi muea bendseir 10 hueila
que deian al pAsar tus blancas alas.
