WILLIAMS DECLARED NOMINEE
VarGaman Comedies Defeat at Polls,
but Declares He will Continue to
Battle for His Principles.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. S.-The De-
mocratlc state executive committee
met at noon today and declared Con-
gresham John Sharp Williams is the
Democratic party nominee for THE
United States senate.
The canvass Of the returns showed
a majority Of GAS votes for Williams,
the total being as follows:
Williams 59,496; Vardaman 1888.
There will be no contest over the
result.
After short caucus between the
two factions it was finally agreed to
abide by semi-off1cial returns as fur
nished Secretary Of State Powers
from the various counties and which
show that Mr.. Williams las ma jor
itv of GAS votes. This motion to de-
clare Mr.. Williams of Gov. Varda-
man. The committee then formally
declared Mr.. Williams nominated as
United States senator. This is con-
sidered the final settlement Of the
celebrated contest.
Gov. Vardaman conceded the nomi-
nation Of Mr.. Williams by sending
the following note to the committee:
1.-The Democratic party, through
its executive committee, has declared
Mr.Mr. Williams the nominee and !
accept the arbitration of that tribunal
without tinge Of resentment or re-
gret for anything done or said by my
friends or me during the campaign.
II am for the nominee and hope
that he will make the people of Mis-
sissippi great United States sena-
tor. I have made the campaign upon
living; important and pertinent prin-
ciples and, while I have lost the nom
nation, I am thoroughly convinced
that the large majority Of the white
men Of this state agree with my views
upon public questions, and I shall con-
tinue to fight for those principles as
earnestly in the future as I have in
the past. No man was ever blessed
by more loyal and faithful friends
than those who favored my fortunes
in this contest. I want them to feel
as I do, that we have not been de-
feated, but that the victory is only
postponed for a season. I have been
candidate several times in my life,
and lost the fight, but never have [
felt the sting Of defeat and am not
defeated today

SUPT. MARTIN AND POLITICS,
Charleston Newspaper Has Some
thing to Say About theNMan Who
Criticised Governor Ansel,
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Let US examine the extraordinary
outbreak Of State Superintendent Of
Education O. B. Martin. It is jet
of flame, accompanied by rumbling
and detonation. But let US be calm,
though crags crack and caverns crum-
bic while we consider it.
Mr.. Martins objection to Ex-Gov-
ernor John c.. Sheppard, for a place
on the State Board Of Education on
the ground that he is ''politician'
excites curiosity. Though he is doubt
less a we'll trained and clever "sehool
man," it is pretty we'll understood
that Mr.. Martin would not have de-
feated that rather able "school man, -
Mr.. John J. McMahan, had he not
been "politician" himself-indeed,
he is one of the liveliest that ever
"came down the pike.''
Mr.. @. B. Martin objects to "poh-
ticians9" By the Lord, Harry. suf-
fce>it to say, that if there be poll
tician in South Carolina who can give
Mr.. Martin odds, he is wonder that
has not passed within our range Of
vision.
Seriously, Mr.. Martins assault on
Governor Ansel is excusable only on
the plea that it provides merriment.
No tremendous issue can be had out
Of the matter. If the Governor was
wrong in neglecting to consult the
state superintendent, it was a little
wrong, wee, small wrong, by no
means Intentional and not deadly in
it's effects. The language Of the Su-
perintendent is Incorporate and
therefore absurd. The people Will
laugh at the superintendent of Eduea-
ton and they will recall that the pres
ent Governor is never "stupid' or
Findecent. It is quite impossible
that the governor would desire to re-
duce the Importance Of the superin-
tendent of education. That would be
a sin.
Meantime, the appointment Of Mr..
John C. Sheppard is wise. The state
will be especially fortunate to have
the services Of this accomplished and
successful man Of affairs on its Board
of education. Mr.. Sheppard happens
to be one of the foremost men IN
South Carolina, a lawyer Of the w1d-
est culture and most admirable abil-
itv and attractive personality. tie
has had exceptional business expert
.ence and he has been deeply and ac-
velv interested in schools and col
ees all his life. Mr.. Sheppard
