Jackson, June 22.-Judge Jeff Truly
spent good portion of yesterday in
jackson, leaving during the afternoon
for Crystal Springs, where he deliver
| ed an address to an immense audience
and returning to the capital on the
midnight train. The ex-jurist was in
fine fettle, raving enjoyed a very sue
cessful campaign during the past few
days. At Natchez Tuesday night he
spoke to what was pronounced, by
common consent, the largest political
gathering that has been held in that
historic city since the days of Sargent
Smith Printiss, and great enthusiasm
was shown by his followers, hundreds
of voters gathering from the surround
ing counties to hear the address.
Natchez is in Judge Truly's old Judi
cial district, and his friends declare
that he will carry that section of the
State by an overwhelming majority.
When asked concerning the very
vigorous manner in which he is being
lambasted by his opponent Hon.
Charles Scott, Judge Truly smiled
broadly, and said:
1T calls to mind the old saying,
whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad If Mr.. Scott thinks
that method of campaigning will
strengthen his cause, he is at liberty
to adopt it. Personally, l don't care
what he does or says, If my oppon-
ents want to loose their temper, and
act ugly, that is their business. l shall
endeavor In the future, as in the past,
to conduct my campaign in high
toned and dignfied manner. This
swapping and snarling reminds ME of
the two young lawyers who were try
ing case before a Justice of the
peace. The arguments grew very spir-
tied, and finally one lawyer called the
other an Internal scoundrel, and the
other retorted with the declaration
that the first was a malicious liar.

magistrate, now that you have prop
erly classified each other, we will get
down to business and settle the CASE"
