the mistake of devoting his ener-

rather than the political interest
of the politician. If these are
mistakes then he has made them
all.
In this campaign, his admins
tration as Governor, and his atti-
tude towards the people in all the
relations Of life, has been subject
to the most severe criticisms, and
it is-a notable fact that the most
violent and unreasonable of his
political enemies has not been able
to ponit to a single mistake which
has affected the moarl or material
interest of the people Of Missis-

Fellow Citizens of Kinds County:
The time was, and it has not
been so long ago, when measured
by the history Of our race, when
slaves we're exported like cattle
from the shores of Great Britain
and exposed for sale in the Roman
markets. Those men and women
thus sold into slavery were sup
posed to be guilty of witchcraft,
debt, blasphemy or theft; it was
supposed that they had forfeited
their right of freedom, they were
said to be incapable of self govern
ment, and our ancestors sold them.
At a later day we quit selling
the British slaves and began trad
ing in African humanity. We
silenced our conscience then, as we
are silencing it now, by saying:
1T is all right, they are incapable
of self government.

THE TATTO0ED SENATOR.

What obligations are you under
to vote for Mr.. Money? What has
he achieved to win your admira-
tion2 Do you admire him for
trailing in the dust the dignity of
the nation in that street car fight?
Do you approve of his accept
ance Of a $50, 900 bride from the
Pan Electric Telephone Company?
Do you believe he had any right
to neglect his official duties at
Washington to go to Cuba and
then sell his information to the
New York World for ST., 900? Do
you sanction his course in the
Weltmer fake cure concern, where
he wrote letter endorsing an in
stitution which was subsequently
denied the privilege of the mails?
Could you not yourself have
been misled on Moneys recon-
mendation with perhaps fatal
consequences to your health?
Can you believe that the great
est railroad magnate that ever
lived, G. P. Huntington, was fool
enough to loan Money $4,000 on
a piece Of land assessed for So, 000?
Is this the record on which you
will risk your hopes Of good and
efficient representation in the
United States Senate! For youl
own sake and that of your child
rem that will live after you, we
pray you, do not. Let your Sen
ator be a man. above reproach--
above suspicion.
Longino's record is absolutely
free from all suspicion. He is
worthy of the support of every
man in the State. Not even the
calumniator will risk charge
against his personal character, be-
cause he is the quintesscnce of
purity and integrity. He is pos
sessed of brain and legitimate am
bition, and his energies and tai
ents are devoted to the advance
ment and development Of the State
of Mississippi. Take your choice.
Scranton Chronicle.
The above comparison of the
two candidates for Senator in their
official life is good. Let the
voters of Lincoln county, before
casting their ballots tomorrow,
compare Governor Longino, as
chairman of the Capitol Commits
sion, rejecting bride from con-
tractor and having the man arrest
ed and brought to trial, and Mr..
Money accepting, while in Con-
gress, 100000 in Pan Electric
stock, and the facts not being
known until, Congress had spent
thousands of dollars investigating
that gigantic bribery scheme.

silly Criticism---Loneino Had Abundant
Democratic Precedent.

The assault on the Governor
as to the appointment of q negro
commissioner Of elections in Will
kerson county is worse than
puerile. If there is a man In
Mississippi who does not know that
the law requires that the election
commissioners shall be taken from
the different parties, and that it
has been the custom in the large
black counties, where the negro
majorities are the greatest and the
Republican vote most difficult to
handle, to appoint negro election
commissioners selected and recon-
mended by the Democratic whites,
for reasons that are obvious, then
that man is so ignorant Of the po-
litical history of Mississippi that
he ought by the understanding
clause to be precluded from voting
and if, perchance he did break
into the polls, his. vote ought not
to be counted.
1t is. a fact and there is no sense
in denying it, that during the days
in Mississippi when elections were
the closest and most important,
nothing could be done by the
Chief Executive more calculated
to bring down upon him the odium
and censure, of the Democratic
party than the appointment Of an
intelligent white Republican COM
missioner. An examination of
the recommendations made for
this office will disclose that for
many years in many counties In
this State'no Republicans save nc
groes were recommended, and it
was the settled policy of the Dem
ocratic party never to permit
white Republicans to be appointed
election commissioners. -Fayette
Chronicle.

If the 100000 of Pan-EIectric
stock was worthless which Senator
Money eonfesses he accepted from
a company which expected to Sc
cure Legislation from congress,
why did he accept it? On the
other hand, if it was a valuable
asset, what, as member of con-
gress, did he expect to give in re-
turn for it! These are questions
neither Mr.. Money nor his parit-
sans have yet answered. Sam
Randall, the incorruptible, Demo-
cratic leader, wouldn't have the
stock offered him.

A HIGH COMPLIMENT TO THE COUN.
TOY PEOPLE.

A country editor and a drummer
who we're strangers to each other
met in Jackson week or two ago
and fell into a conversation about
the vote for governor.
IA good many. are claiming"
said the editor, "that the vote for
Vardaman will be light in the
towns and heavy in the country,
but they will find that they are
mistaken about this, as far as
the country is concerned. The
country people read, and lots of
them have clear heads and do a
lot of hard thinking on their own
account, and they have sight
more sense than some people give
them credit for. They, can see
that what Vardaman is advocating
is not for the best interests of the
State, and that if he was elected
it would mean more race troubles,
crime and disorder in Mississippi
than we have had since we got rid
of the cal pet baggers, and the peo-
pie who are counting on the ig-
norance and race prejudice of the
country voters to elect him are
going to get left mark the pre-
diction.''
Il agree with your conelu-
sion, !" responded the drummer,
who was evidently not a Vardaman
man, though a majority Of the
drummers ale so classed, "but /
do not put it exactly that way. /
have discovered in my travels and
mixing up with people, that,
take them all together, there is a
much higher standard Of morality
existing among the country people
than you find in the cities and
towns. The country people at
tend church more, have fewer
vices and are more moral and re-
ligious than the generality Of
town people, and hence they are
less easily led off by extreme men
into doubtful paths than many
give them credit for being. 1t is
we'll known that yardaman is or-
posed by the preachers and teach
ers of the State, as a rule, on ac-
count of his radical attitude on the
race question, and that he has at
his heels the tough element il
every town and county in the
State. The good old solid farmers
in the country, whose influence
generally controls elections in
their communities, understand
this, and SO you are right when
You say the country people will
disappoint the Vardaman cam
paign managers when it comes to
counting the votes. =
Between them, The Leader
thinks the country editor and the
drummer sized the situation up
about right.

FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR,
A. II. LONGING.
DEBAUCHING VOTERS.

If one may believe one half he
hears, there is the most shameful
use of money going on in this
county in the effort to corrupt and
influence voters. Especially is
this true with reference to GER
tain candidates for two county
offices. According to we'll au-
thenticated reports, there has been
nothing seen like it since Repub-
lican negro bosses such as Staten
Baker, Anthony Brown, Jesse
Taylor and others we've secretly
bribed to vote their negro dupesin
the interest of certain candidates
for Office years ago. Someof the
white men who are now ful nish-
ing the money to corrupt voters
at tomorrow's primary are chuck
ling in their sleeves and are re-
ported to have referred privately
to the white voters they have
planned to corral for the men they
want elected, as their white Mig
gers"
Every honest, self-lespecting
white voter in the county ought
to resent such methods. Spot the
candidates fol whom money and
whiskey are used, either by them
selves or their supporters, and if
they manage to bride their way
into the second primary, let all
candidates and their friends who
have conducted a clean campaign
combine against them and bury
them SO deep beneath an avalanche
of righteous Indignation they will
never scratch out.
The idea of any man who pre-
tends to have spark of patriot
ism, honor or self-respect going
about and offering to work and use
his influence for this candidate or
that, according to which will agree
to pay him the most, is a disgrace
to white suffrage, and places him
right down on level with the
negroes the Democrats have been
working to disfranchise. No
wonder the men who are buying
such white men are referring to
them as their white niggers. "
Such men ought to be ashamed to
look an honest voter in the face,
and the fellow who corrupts men
in this way IS an enemy to society
and not whit more honorable or
respectable than they are, even
though he dresses in fine linen and
has his barrels of shining dollars.
The Leader has a higher opin-
ion of the great mass Of white
voters of Lincoln county than to
believe they can be influenced by
any such methods.

Ou1 ancestois were as obscure,
as debased, as ignorant and bar
barious as any race known in
history, but thanks to that Genius
which has ever presided over the
Anglo-Saxton, the emancipation
of our ancestors came, and with it
came an irrepressible conflict,
which has confded to our keeping
a land of universal freedom. We
have long since emerged from bar
balism, and have almost forgotten
that we we're once barbarians.
In the language of the great
Benjamin H. Hill, at Tammany
Hall, in 1866, true then and true
now, There was South of
slavery and secesson,- that South
is dead. There is a South of union
and freedom, thank God that
South is living, breathing, grow
ing every hour. -
The light of a grander day is
breaking, and as the old State of
Mississippi lifts her face to the
rising son, she is thrilled with the
consciousness of growing power
and prosperity.
| say to you then in these pros
porous days of peace, when old
animosities are are buried and for
gotten, when our State has only
just begun the march to take her
place as a crowned queen in the
sisterhood- of states, the man or
professed statesman who comes
before you with message which
is calculated to fan into flames the
slumbering fires of race prejudice
and hatred, is, whether he knows
it or not, an enemy to this State
and people, and an enemy to the
prosperity and welfare of the State
Of Mississippi. On the other
hand it is my candid judgement,
that he who comes before you,
having turned his eyes to the ris-
ing sun of bette day, content
that the dead bury its dead, and
willing to labor for the reinstate-
ment Of our grand old State in its
one time position of greatness and
gloy, is a friend to this people,
and a friend to the prosperity
and welfare of the State of Mis-
sissippi.
We have such a one here today !;
one who has spent the early years
TO his manhood in the classic halls
Of our own Mississippi College;
who bore his part around that his
toric village in the memorable
struggle of 1875; who has passed
the intervening years as an honor
ed citizen of this State; who is
now candidate, seeking to repre-
sent this State in the Congress Of
the United States.
His political enemies, and who
in politics has not his enemies, say
that as Governor he has made mis-
takes.
