CARD

1t is with sadness that we are
bidding adieu to- the good people
of ,Starkville; among whom we
have soiourned for more than three
years, and who have, by their many
acts of kindness and expressed
goodwill and fellowship, woven
around our hearts the tenderests
chords, forming ties that would in
deed be hard to break. In think
ing of these good friends we can
not say with the poet, What is
friendship but name" etc., for
we have found them true and tried,
Weighed in the balances and not
found wanting" We shall sound
their praise as through lifes' jour
ney we go, and shall ever wish for
them all the happiness that this life
can give, and a final home beyond
the skies. To one and all, we say
goodbye. ls5S;3; $ 1 7El

TAMMANY IN T
Combination Of Counties Made Which
Gave Chas. F. Murphy Majority.

0a"S S"aS' I. Murphy MAJORITY.
Rochester, N. Y, Sept. 29.-With 213
OF it's $50 votes unuer his control
Charles F. Murphy Of Tammany hall,
was in a position to dominate the DEM
ocratlc state convention here today.
Upon Murphy's use of this power, thu
came to him through the coalition Of
delegates from New York, Kings,
Queens and Erie counties, depends the
composition of the ticket that will be
placed in the field to oppose the can
didates nominated yesterday by the
republicans.
Thus far no up state combination.
mas developed strong enough to
threaten the supremacy Of the lead
ers. h question was not one of
the Tammany leaders power, however,
but of mis- disposition to use it, while
supporters of Edward NJ. Shepard
and several state candidates
acknowledge that the nomination of
their men depends upon Murphy's
word, they bore in mind his reiterated
declaration that the upstate delegates
would name the ticket.
But few venture to predict how
broad an Interpretation the Tammany
leader would give this promise. The
last conference adjourned at 10 last
night with the question Of candidates
unsettled.
