the patrons of the Olympic theater
yesterday in the form of a musical bur-

The chorus, admirably costumed, did
full credit to the ten delightful sing

the senatorial campaign now being
waged in Mississippi reminds one of a
terrific bull fight in which dust, dirt and
fecund matter are paved high into the
air. The aroma makes one wish that
the breece5 would blow in an op-
posite direction. The olfactory nerves
suggest that the whole affair is a stig
ma on the good mama of the State and
reflection or the saneness and com-
mon sense Of the people. Neither fac-
ton is wholly responsible for the status
of affairs, nor would it be right to give
the supporters of any candidate clean
bill of health in the preparation of the
political menu. It is Bilbo and the
bribery. Vardaman and the negro, and
Percy and the secret caucus.
State Senator Theo. G. Bl5a, of
Pearl river county, is going from place
to place making speeches and it would
appear that he has been given cor
dial we.cone eve, ywh,rc. He seems
to be able to handle the circumstances
connected with the election of senator
by the legislature and his alleged brib-
cry in a skillful manner and evinces
far more than ordinary talent on the
stump. Notwithstanding the fact that
his fellow senators, lacking one of q
two-thilGS majority, voted % cxpel hirs
and ciasscd him as man unfit to asss,-
ciatc with decent people, ne appears
to have earnest friends and synapa-
thizers Wherever he goes. Certainly he
is one of the central stars in the ssis-
sissippi political Ornament today.
Whether he can hold his place and snf-
fer himself publicly denounced as liar
and as almost everything else, as Sen
ator Percy did to his face at Lauder
dale Springs last Saturday, remains to
be seen. Whether 6 man can retain
the respect OF the public, who will per

but in my humble opinion | have never
heard from any Of them an effort supe-
rior to-pethaps not equal-to Mr..
Brewers Grafton delivered before his
Charleston audience on the 2ist OF May.
If nothing more had heretofore ema-
mated from Mr.. Brewer, his lecture
here placed him at the forefront of the
biggest and most influential men Of the
State. His effort was not composed
alone of oratorical flourish, splendidly
rendered periods, gorgeous diction,
striking imagery, flowers, trapes and
metaphors, which so much adorn and
beautify oratory and electrify and fas-
cinate an audience, but was replete
from exordium to peroration with phi
losophy, science, history and practical
information on the daily and varied vo-
cations and employments Of men and
citizens. During the delivery of his
lecture Mr.. Brewer was frequently in
terrupted with loud plaudits and cheers
of his audience, and at its conclusion
was rendered a whole-souled ovation;
men and women rushed forward to
shake his hand and tender their con-
gratulations.
From the signs of the times Mr..
Brewer will be our next governor.
From governor he will go to the lower
house OF Congress, then to the United
States senate. Perhaps he may pass,
with single bound, from governor to
the senate.
He has brilliant and, we hope, a
useful future in the service of his coun-
try. So mote it be, is the prayer of a
large majority of Tallahatchians.
