From an Appeal Correspondent] O.K., TUNICA COUNTY, MISS., October 30 - The congressional canvass between Chalmers and <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/john-roy-lynch--adams-county-">Lynch</a> has taken an interesting turn in this (Tunica) county in the last week. Captain M. J. Manning, Captain V. B. Waddell, and Mr. Calvin Perkins, all staunch Republicans, nevertheless honest, enterprising and worthy citizens, have been campaigning day and night for Chalmers. They began at the lower end of the county on Monday, the twenty-third instant, and have thus far canvassed the lower end of the county, and spoke at Austin on Saturday last. They are carrying everything before them like a tornado. Dr. P. E. Chapman, Mr. T. W. L. Askew, <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/george-p--a--brown--tunica-cou">George P. A. Brown</a> and T. J. Woodson proposed to meet these gentlemen, representing <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/john-roy-lynch--adams-county-">Lynch</a>. Dr. Chapman attended two meetings and then retired. Woodson, who is elector for this district, took Captain Waddell's place at Austin on Saturday. Brown has gone over to the support of Chalmers also, and the Chalmers party are having it all their own way. Tunica county registers about eighteen hundred votes, and Chalmers will get nine tenths of all the votes cast. The campaign will continue at the upper precincts this week. Chalmers will certainly be elected. NICK O'DENNIS. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The result of the election in this county is given in full in another column, and while there is cause for rejoicing on both sides, yet neither are happy. Taking the ticket as elected, however, the people can congratulate themselves that Panola county is very far ahead of many counties in having a set of officers who give us little cause of complaint. The election of Captain Taylor is one that will make glad the hearts of all true, honest citizens, for in him the entire people have a man that they may well be proud of, and one who is incorruptible. The representatives, we freely confess, are not of our choosing, and we think the defeated candidates were superior to those elected, and would have done far more to establish good feeling among our entire people; however, we do not think <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/d--t--j--mathews--panola-count">Dan.

I corrected him, and Mr. Ireland continued in an apparently friendly way, and during his conversation Mr. Ed Shaw came up, and the discourse turned upon the elections in New York and other States, and finally again to Mississippi. Thereupon Shaw, whom I had never met, and was not personally acquainted with, turned to me and said to those present, "That's the d---ed son of a b---h who has been making Democratic speeches in Mississippi. He is now dressed up in the blood of the colored men of Mississippi!" Seeing that Mr. Shaw had been misinformed, or desired to misrepresent me, I endeavored to set him straight. I told him that the speeches I made in Mississippi were for the purpose of bringing about peace in that State, or words to that effect; that I had not been making partisan speeches, but indorsed the true Republicans; however, I was under the impression that the leading men in Mississippi were not Republicans.

To show what a poor apology for even a colored man <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/orange-brunt--panola-county-">Orange Brunt</a> is, he had inserted in the Star a very bitter denunciatory card of the Radical ticket of this county, and withdrawing his name from it, and in less than twelve hours the Rads had him brought up and he was apologizing for publishing the card and claiming the greatest virtues for the very men he denounced only twelve hours before as being infamous and corrupt.
