MISREPRESENTATION FAILS.

People Of State Flocking to the
Banner Of Charles Scott.

friends of Hon. Charles Scott was
held at the Law Library Tuesday
night to canvass the situation and |
map out the work in his behalf until
election day. Reports from the va
rious sections of the county indi-
cate very gratifying condition of
affairs, and the consensus of opin-
ion is that Mr., Scott is gaining
ground each day. Plane we're ott-
lined for work in his behalf, and
these will be carried out from now
until the day of election.
1t was shown that Mr.. Scott's
position on many questions had
been grossly misrepresented by the
friends of other candidates, and an
effort will be made to remove these
misreprehension and to see that
voters throughout the country are
put in possession of truth. Among
the veterans Mr.. Scott is very strong
and practically all the old soldiers
are giving him their enthusiastic
support. Those who were his conf
rades had a splendid opportunity to
Judge of his real worth, and it is
not surprising that they are bending
every energy to make him Cover
nor of dis native state.-Yazoo
Sentinel.
, Cl,as. Scott has served his State
withput pay and this is more than
any man i'll the race with him can
say. No man can say that he deals
i'll inuendoes.. His speech on the
rostrum is straight and to the point.
He places his record against the
mud singing of:the opposition and
submits the election to the electors
of the State. .--Natchez Democrat.
If Charlie Scott is as strong i'll
other sections of the State as he is
in the coast, section he will go in
OH the first primary with votes to
spare. The Coast Beacon.
Hon. Charles Scott il still in the lead
for governor, aud his opponents are
getting desperate. They don't know
how to tar the tidal wave that is
sweeping in the voters. 1t il very like
lv that Scott will go in on the first bal
lot.-Poplar, lille Free Press.
The one aud only charge brought
against Mr.. Scott is that he is not
pauper. He has managed his own af-
fairs with discretion aud honor, and will
conduct himself in like manner in the
governors Office, to which, the people
will surely elect him. In the second pri-
mary ifnot in the first. Every day adds
to his strength.
The opponents OF Hon. Chas. Scott
who find comfort in repeating the state
nent chat he has lost ground will fnd
little comfort in the conference which
was held at the Capital CITY a few DAYS
ago i'll his interest. OF seventy odd conn
ties i'll the state gathering of Mr.. Scott's
friends found over sixty eouaties repre-
sented by the leading men from every
conference were active workers, men
whose influence counts in the sections
from which they came, and their report
showed conclususily that there is no
possible chance for their candidure not
to lead the ticket. In the second race
he is assured of election.-columbus
Dispatch.
1t had been hoped that personalities
would be kept out of the guberaato-
rial contests now being waged in this
state, but such is not to be since Senator
McLaurin's letter oflast week attacked
Chas. Scott, candidate tor governor,
over the shoulders Of the Vicksburg
Herald, and at the same breath endors-
ing the candidacy of Judge Truly. MIR.
Scott is quick aud sharp in his retort,
declaring he has suspected the McLaurin
opposition all the time, and that the
Senator and some of the brothers are
supporting Truly. while the State SEN
ator and one other brother arc osten- \
sibly supporting Brewer. Mr.. Scott
accepts the def, and warns the Senator
that he is ready for the fray.-Comser-
vative.
