to help their man.-The Weekly

PERFORMANCE VS.. PROMISE.
Commenting upon Hon. Chas.
Scott's address to the Mississippi
voters, our friend of the Grenada
Sentinel says:
"Mr, Scott seems to rely more
upon his reputation than specific
declarations i'll his platform.
Well, so much the better. A
clean record gives a better assu-
rance of clean administration
than a volume of campaign prop
ositions and promises. Aberdeen
Examiner.
Hon. Chas. Scott, of Rosedale,
apperes to be in running con-
siderably as a gubernatorial can
didate. 1t might be said of Mr..
Scott right here, that he is indepen-
dent, financially, which is a mighty
good thing in a public official; that
he has not been and is not now, as
far as we have been able to learn,
connected with any of the rings,
formed to flch from the people
power or boz die, which debase the
politics of every great common
wealth, Mississippi not excepted
and his private and personal record
lis clean. These, in themselves,
will have much weight with the
conservative element. - Kemper

Scott discussed many important
questions and discussed them in
most effecutal way. His remarks
on each subject tend to the up
building and advancement of the
state. He laid stress on the fact
that he is running for this high
Office on his own merits and not on
the demerits of any one else-his
candidacy is not backed" by any
ring or faction and if honored by
the people of this great common
wealth to serve them as governor,
his administration will be for them
and the betterment of the State
