Strength With Every
Speech He Makes.
Special to The Herald.

Natchcz. Miss, May 11.-This was
Chas. Scott fay in Nntchpz.
The distinguished candidate for COVER
nor arrived from Vicksl,urg at 1880
.his NOR ing. accompanied by Il delega-
ton OF citizens of Jefferson county, who
met at the depot by Il very large crowd
of friends and admirers who escorted him
to the Natchez hotel where perfect
ovation was accorded bv the people.
During the LAY and afternoon he was
taken about the city and introduced by
his friends. Before o'clock the citizens
began to crowd the rolundo of the no
tel to escort.Alr. Scott to the court
house. On arrival at this large andcom-
modious structure, a place which has
always accommodated the public when
political speeches were on the program,
it proved inaquate to accomodatc the
crowd and adjournment to the theatre
was had.
Mr.. Scott's address was about the
same as he has delivered throughout the
campaign. and was interrupted again
and again by the applause of his hearers.
He was INTRODUCED by Mr.. w. P. Reese,
prominent member OF the Prntess Club
and Natchez Cotton and Merchants Ex-
change.
Mr.. Scott's visit, as well as his speech,
won scores OF friends to his cause,
and men who have been lukewarin i'll
politics are speaking III the most en-
tIiusiastic terms of his candidacy. His
success as merchant, planter ami law
yer. besides being Il distinguished Con-
federate veteran, won scores of open
speaking and earnest workers III this
city who will work for his election.
Mr.. Scott's most telling statement
tonight was to the effect that am
candidate for the high Office on my ner-
its alone and not on the denerits of my
opponents"
Scott will lie elected, and the other
candidates may JUST as we'll now recog-
nize that as to be forced to realize it on
the night of the first primary.-r rhe
Coast Beacon.
Pinola. Miss, May 13.-Hon. Chas.
Scott, candidate for governor, spoke to
day at Westvile to large and enthu-
siastic audience, all seats being occupied
and large number standing.
Mr.. Scott's speecl, was frequently in
tcrrupted by applause. He added large
ly to his popularity and strength i'll this
county.
Ii is quite amusing how the opposition
to Scott that he is losing ground. From
every section OF the State comes tidings
that Scott will surely be nominated.
But you see If man is drowning and
does not grasp at straw, lie will be put
down Il suicide -Mayersville Spectator.
All this rot about Hou. Chas. Scott
being n railroad attorney is the height
of folly in the ewes of intelligent people.
There is not man among these fault
finders who would not jump at an OPP
portunity to become railroad attor
ncy. One OF the hest Governors the
State ever had was John M. Stone, and
as the Water Valley Progress saws:
John M. Stone was Il railroad promo
ter. aud he couldn't make Il speech to
Save his life. But there wasn't enough
politicians in the state to beat him for
Governor.-Winston Co. Journal.
The Hon. Chas Scott, who was in
Vicksburg. on private business on Friday,
paid the office of tho American an APP
preeiatcd call. 1t is agreeable to learn
from Mr. Scott himself that so far from
suffering any abatement, his confidence
in the result Of his campaign becomes
daily more assured. the idle gossip about
his losing ground" being simply an un,
supported assertion of the few and in
consequential neWspa perS whose WISH
is father to the thought.-Vicksburg
American.
Hon. Cilas. Scott. is still attracting
great crowds and making voters III
Southern and Southeastern Mississippi.
The interest in him and his candidacy is
every day increasing and according to
all reports he will carr, that section of
state with as much enthusiasm as he
will the delta Mr.. Scott. is a plain
man; he is not sailing under false colors
no attempting to increase his own pop
ularitv hy attempting to tear down the
reputation ot his opponents. As CON
trasted with some OF the candidates his
is clean and without any be-
