LONGING AND MONEY.

1t appears from this neck Of the |
woods that there is going TO be sur
prise in store for the people of the
state next August We have been
watching the political board with
ioen interest the past few months
and whether we are pleased with ali
the moves or not, they have been
made, many of them, aud others are
moving in directin that is n little
surprising.
1t is no use trying to hide the fact
under half bushel measure or any
other measure, the truth remains that
Governro Longino is gaining ground
every day and should he have a com
plete walk -over at the August primary
it would not surprise those who have
been watching the campaign.
The Progress has never supported
either of the candidates, but always
tried to give the facts as they occurred
or as they appeared to the editor OF
the paper At the beginning Mr..
Money was not only far ahead, but
had the election taken place then Mr..
Longino would not have received
bakers dozen of the votes, compare
lively. 1t was thus stated in this
paper at the time, but since then
there has been a wonderful change i'll
the sentiment of the people and now
it looks like that Mr. Money will be
defeated.
The only reason we can account for
this, if the statement is accepted as a
reason, is tht Mr.. Vardaman's negro
issue has pulled him down and he has
pulled down Mr. Money along with
him. And Mr.. Longino is doing some
very effective work in helping these
gentlemen to pull. Everywhere he
speaks public sentiment is changing
rapidly. He tells the people thai
Mr.. Money voted three times for the
confirmation of Minnie Cox as post
mistress at Indianola, and instead o.
Longino, as the case has been sup
posed heretofore, Mr.. Money wa
directly interested in the making o
Edgar Wilson the republican referee o
Mississippi. These assertions hav
been made, if Mr.. Longino has bee
correctly quoted, and they have nc
been denied by Mr.. Money, for til
record is against him. And as the
have never been denied and cannC
be, wherever Mr.. Money speaks til
charges are having a wonderful etfe'
favorable to the governor.
Again, as stated, there is no doul
that Mr.. Vardaman is losing grounC
1t is so reported by nearly evel
travelling man who visits Hattiesbul
and who has listened to the discusiC
of politics during his travels over ii
state.
The Progress does not tell this {
its own acco. d, .on its own knowled
of the facts, but. like Riley's accou
of the fight between the calico cat al
the brown jeans dog, we tell it
it was told us. - There has been
wonderful change in political sent
ment in the state within the past tv
months, and nobody knows this bett
than Mr.. Money and his friends.
