The editor of The Itemizes hU |
,A been looking over the field, among
the many distinguished sons of
Mississippi for a candidate for
Governor best suited to his ideas
of a man, and there is one, whose
name has been mentioned in con
nection with this high position, in
whom we have been unable, after
a long acquaintance, to find any
fault, and that man is Judge F. A.
Critz, of West Point. When we
were both much younger than we
are now, we lived in the same town,
and then his charactar as a gentle
man and Christian, was unim
peachable, and if ever he has
cll3iig'<4> iv oi,vwrv the, informa
tion has never reachecF^^^^s
one of Mississippi’s distinguished
sons—thoughtfuls^courageous and
fruitful—eminentbj^qualified, both
in heart and mind, for any position
in which the people may place him.
He is not what is termed a self
willed man—not in any sense—but
lie possesses firmness, and would
not swerve in setting forth the
courage of his conviction, on any
and ail questions touching the in
terest of his people. This has been
his character from his youth up.
Make him Governor of the great
State of Mississippi, and the peo
ple will never have cause to regret i
their action. The people of the 1
State should look for pure men to <
fill the great offices of the State. 1

Why don’t some of you fellows
who are kicking about high taxes
in the State, ring in with your lit
tle tale of woe the reason for them
being so high. It is right weary
ing to hear a fellow tell how tired
he is, without finding out about
what made him tired. It does
strain some people, during these
campaign years, to find an engraft
tion is: Who made the taxes high?
It must have been the representa
tives of the people. Please don’t
put everything on one man! You
don’t want to make it appear that
one man is running the State. If
you will elect first-class, pure men
to represent you in every official
position, these things, of which
you complain, will be corrected, j
My dear unsophisticated fellow
citizens, it is not the man that can
throw his hat the highest, hollow
the loudest, or who tells the most
vulgar yarns, that is the best man
to represent you. Take the peacea
ble, quiet, thoughtful man first
every time, for he will certainly
look to your interest.
Symbathy is the most beautiful
of all_ characteristics, and mbe
usbdlTfevery point in life. Many
people need it that never get it at
all.
If high taxes bring a correspond- |
ing benefit upon their expenditure
in developing high-grade public
institutions, why, lpt them be high -
—the city is just making an excel
lent investment; but if the money
derived from taxation is to be fool
ed away—put to an indifferent use,
then cut them down. The people
must be able to see the results. No
town or city, with any respect for
itself, will exercise the functions of
a clam If them 10 * • "■ a
public ambition and enlightenment,
or public improvement, then by all
means reduce them.
