3$ycry happy man as he sat in his office
Al Tie Executive Department yesterday
Il receiving tho stream of convention
friends who called to assure him OF their
III good wishes and to congratulate him
upon the final adoption OF fair primary
plan which las been the dream of his
political life
While the faction of the party led by
s Senator Martin dominated the conven-
iatIon, ii is well known that the Governor
and his friends made but scant efforts
Sin the contest for the election Of dclo-b
rates and never attempted to do more
than save the primary principle, which
Congressman William A. Jones introduced
y at the Roanoke Convention seven years
ago, and which was the keynote OF the
Governors canvass in 1901.
SO. after all. tho Governor and his
friends are not dismayed. but. on the
other hand, are disposed to feel satisfied
with net results His EXcellency was
evidently gratfled at the splendid ova-
ton accorded him when he addressed tho
convention on Thursday, and no has
sheen const antly congratulated upon hay-
IAN made whatalmost everyone terms a
magnificent speech.
AT this time the Governor Is looking
after his official duties. and is not say
ing much concerning bis further political
aspirations. hut those close to him be-
leve that at the proper time he will
enter the senatorial stru gglc and make
a thorough canvass Of tho State The
= services of the Governor will be much In
demand In tie campaign this fall.

IAN adjourned citizens meeting at
1.-THE Mayors Office next Friday
Ieyening at 6 b o'clock. The action
of the citizens meeting last Fri
day evening % have it referred to
such 8 committee was unanimous,
there being no opposition what
ever expressed by any one in the
injecting. At this writing the
committee has not held a meeting
land agreed on its report, but from
the expressions heard from indi-
yidnal members 1 the committee,
nearly all oftwh0n have been seen,
the sentiment is all one way. and
they viii report favoFahly On the
proposition.
It has long been the ayoWed
and fixed policy Of the Demo ocratic
party iii Mississippi and the
South, which has become the syn
|onym for the party Of white su-
premacy, to eliminate the negro
from elections and active partici-
patton in political affairs. First
tresorted to as an imperative State
policy, this idea has been adopted
in county and municipal politics,
until now, all the counties of Mis-
sissil pi and nearly all Of the mn-
inequalities of the State of any
considerable size, are operating
under it as the safest and best
course to pursue. Experience
has demonstrated over and over
again in the South in all sorts Of
elections State, county and mus
nicipal that it is best for the
whites and best for The negroes,
that the color line Be drawn and
the blacks be discouraged from
participating in elections and mix
ing up IN politics with the whites,
wherever possible. For white
men to have to electioner and log
roll with negro voters and their
purchasable leaders, Is both hu-
initiating to any self-respecting
white man and something which
Is reactionary and harmful in its
effects on both the negro and the
whites in the end, no matter
which white candidates are the
winners at the polls.
At this particular time, when
we have 4 President who would
force both social and political
recognition Of the negro on the
South, IL De could, with The posi-
Eble chance for bis reelection for
four years more backed By q sec
|tiOnal party, the policy proved By
Southern States and communities
to be the only safe and wise one
