Text Any textual data included in the document A HOSTILE DEER. Creates a Little Excitement Around the State Capitol. Mr. Jesse McLean, mine host at the Edwards House, presented the State a pair of fine pet deer on Thursday evening, and had them placed in the capitol enclosure. They had been raised in the backyard at the hotel and were considered as docile, gentle and perfectly harmless as poodles, but since their experience Friday morning one or two people seriously doubt that proposition. <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/guilford-vaughan--panola-count">Guilford Vaughn</a> is one of the porters around the capitol. <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/guilford-vaughan--panola-count">Guilford</a> was at one time a very important personage in this State. He was a member of the Legislature, representing the good old county of Panola, and enjoyed the distinction of being, according to the writer's recollection, the only negro Democrat in the House during reconstruction days. Now <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/guilford-vaughan--panola-count">Guilford</a> is a pretty sensible old darkey, but his school teacher never learned him much about the peculiarities of a big buck that has been led around town with a rope over his horns until he got awful mad, and therefore when he went walking off down the hill with a bucket of water in his hand he did not know what the aforesaid buck meant by shaking his head and snorting until he found himself rolling on the ground with the deer dancing a Highland fling on top of him. <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/guilford-vaughan--panola-count">Guilford</a> got up as soon as he could and retreated at a double quick. Major Govan, hearing about old <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/guilford-vaughan--panola-count">Guilford</a>'s experience, got a little corn and went down the hill to pacify the deer. The Major and the deer were old friends and he counted largely on this acquaintanceship. So, walking up slow and easy he said, "Billy, Billy; come here Billy," and "Billy" came, at full tilt - and the Major adjourned sine die. Those of his friends who saw him in retreat say the deer gave up the chase early; he was completely out-distanced. If the Major enters the race for Congress down in the sea-coast district, and runs like he did yesterday, he will have a walk-over, sure. The deer were taken back to the hotel yard, it being considered unsafe to keep them in such a public place as the capitol yard.

Text Any textual data included in the document THE REPUBLICANS IN SESSION. ASSEMBLED AT NOON IN THE FEDERAL BUILDING. Two Factional Committees Held Executive Sessions - Joint Meeting Now Deliberating. By far the most important meeting the Republican party of Mississippi has held for many years assembled in the Federal court room at noon today. It is at present impossible to tell what will be the result of "the assembly called in the interests of harmony," but it looks very much like a compromise will be effected. The thirty delegates are still in session and it is thought they will adopt resolutions of brotherly love before nightfall. The leading Republicans of the State are in attendance and all day long the lobbies of the Federal building have been thronged with politicians. Several days ago Chairman L. B. Moseley, of the <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/john-roy-lynch--adams-county-">Lynch</a> faction, appointed a list of fifteen delegates to attend the meeting and participate in the deliberations. Chairman A. M. Lea, of the <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/james-hill--marshall-county-">Hill</a> faction, appointed a similar number. These two committees met in separate rooms at noon today in executive session to decide upon a plan of action and terms of compromise to be proposed in the open assembly. The sessions lasted about one hour each and at their conclusion it was impossible to learn what either had decided upon. The <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/james-hill--marshall-county-">Hill</a> faction was represented by the following delegates: <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/james-hill--marshall-county-">James Hill</a>, Jackson; J. M. Leverett, Winona; W. D. Frazee, Okolona; C. H. Hovis, Ripley; Wesley Crayton, Vicksburg; Chas. Rosenbaum, DeKalb; Emile Engbarth, Rodney; Thos. B. Leland, Water Valley; Sam P. Heart, Clarksdale; T. V. McAllister, Vicksburg; A. J. Cook, Oxford; R. L. Johnson, Brandon; J. W. Bell, Pontotoc; Henry Mayer, Vicksburg, and G. E. Matthews, of Jackson. The <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/john-roy-lynch--adams-county-">Lynch</a> faction was represented as follows: M. A. Montgomery, Oxford; F. W. Collins, Summit; W. E. Molison, Vicksburg; C. A. Simpson, Pass Christian; <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/louis-kossuth-atwood--hinds-co">L. K. Atwood</a>, Jackson; A. J. Hyde, Meridian; Chas. Morgan, Jackson; R. A. Simmons, Richland; H. Kernaghan, Jackson; <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/john-roy-lynch--adams-county-">John R. Lynch</a>, Natchez; E. F. Brennan, Brookhaven; J. H. Carr, Coffeeville; T. I. Key, Ocean Springs; L. J. Piernas, Bay St. Louis, and Thos. Richardson, of Port Gibson. The proceedings were unanimous to a surprising degree. When the two delegations of fifteen members each got together the hatchet was buried and within a very short time all necessary arrangements were completed. Hon. A. M. Lea, United States district attorney, was unanimously elected chairman of the State executive committee. The resignations of the members of the two old committees were then called for and tendered and the convention elected a new State executive committee composed of fifty members, twenty-five being from each faction. <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/louis-kossuth-atwood--hinds-co">L. K. Atwood</a> was chosen vice-chairman and C. A. Simpson secretary. Wesley Crayton was elected treasurer. An executive committee of eight members was elected composed of L. B. Moseley, chairman; E. E. Perkins, vice-chairman; T. V. McAllister, secretary, and W. A. Montgomery, F. W. Collins, A. M. Lea, <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/louis-kossuth-atwood--hinds-co">L. K. Atwood</a> and G. E. Matthews. After the meeting <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/james-hill--marshall-county-">Hill</a> and <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/john-roy-lynch--adams-county-">Lynch</a> both expressed themselves highly satisfied with the result. No plans have yet been formed to put out a ticket at the coming State election, but it is thought that a meeting of the committee will be called within the next few weeks to discuss the matter.
