I told you that the ineetiug at
Beaverdam was a regular quarterly
meeting of the Berrien county alli
ance, that it Imd uo authority nor
desire' to moke nominations, that I
did not hear such a thing mentioned
and did not believe such a thing was
thought of.
Several responsible gentlemen
were present and will hour me out
in this statement Mr. T. C. Moore
will also bear me out in the state
ment no notion was taken at Beuvcr-
dam looking to the nomination of
candidates.
I did not tell yon there was no po
litical discussion at Beavordam, on
the oontrary, I told yon that the dis
cussion was public and that we had
nothing to conceal.
I simply gave you the facts and
asked yon to correct the errors as to
the Beaverdam and Nashville meet
ings reported iu your ooliinms some
time ago, which you promised to do.
I vnust confess, liewover, that I did
not oxpoot you to make a truthful
oorreotion of the affair us none of us
cx{x>ot justice at your hands.
Respectfully,
W. 8. IluasKY.
The Gazuttk is pleased to give
space to the above letter, if for no
other purpose but to establish the
correctness of the statements hereto
fore made by us relative to the inter
view between Mr. Bussey and the
editor. We positively assert that the
interview, although in bis place of
business, was private and the conver
sation in un undertone. In the exer
cise of hia good sense—knowing full
well wc would not have submitted to
a public discussion ot the matter in
hand—culled us from the street into
the store where wc could talk the
matter over privately, and no one
came near us until about the conclu
sion of the talk, and those persons
do not know what wus said except as
Mr. Bussey litis told them since, or
from reading our printed statement
of it.
We deny most positively that Mr.
Bussey made the slightest allusion to
the political discussion at lieurcr-
dam. His talk in connection with
that meeting was to correct tiie state
ment made by us that nominations
were made. Said he, “It was simply
a quarterly meeting of the Berrien
county alliunce; there was no poti
ics in it and suoli u tiling <ts nomi
nating cundidutes in my opinion was
not thought of.” This was his ex
act language as we remember it.
Referring to the organization of
the third party iu Berrien county, lie
used some wuch language us tills:
“The people’s purty was organized
in the court house with the doors all
open and five hundred persons pres
ent, It is not a secret organization
and has uothing to conceal.” Con
tinuing, lie said: “I think yon should
report ns correctly and fairly if you
propose to report us at all.”
The editor has many personal
friends on Mr. Bmuey’s side of the
political fence whom he esteems very
highly aud it is fur from him to deal
unfairly with them of willfully re
port their meetings incorrectly. We
haven’t found it necessary to descend
so low to find arguments ih oppo
sition to their i»iiti(ail principles
The trouble with Mr. Bussey is,
like bis illustrious pretype, Jingo
Tom Watson, he tells the truth an
far as lie goes, but he doesn't go fur
enough. He is an honest man, with
a memory sadly out'of repaii

Hon. W. W. Webb, of Lowndes,
nlliance lecturer for the eleventh
congressional district, is a candidate
for the senatorial nomination in the
sixth districtr-miule so by the voice
of his neighbors and friends, mem
bers of the lluhiru democratic club.
Whatever else may be laid to the
charge of the democrats of the sixth
senatorial district they do not pro
pose to have the sin of ingratitude
added to the list.
This endorsement comes as a just
and gruoeful tribute to the manly
services of him who threw himself
iuto the bread), when division and
strife were rending this democracy of
the eleventh congressional district in
twain, and brought order out of chn
os ntid victory out of defeat.
Hon. W. W. Webb is entitled to
this recognition at the hands of the
people mid the Gazetth is glad lie
is to receive it.
The work whioh the llahini dem
ocratic club lias so nicely and au
spiciously begun should be taken up
by the great democratic brotherhood
Eolmls, l.iiwndez ami Berrien
comities and carried to a successful
completion.
Tho Hahira democratic club met
in regular meeting lust Monday night
und the question wus asked, “What
shall be done to the man whom the
people delight to honor?” and the
answer came hack witli earnest unan
imity: “Webb for senator 1"
Mr. Webb is a Isiwndes county
man “to the manner born." Ho was
born and reared in the backwoods
amid tho tail pines of the Upjier
Fork district of I.owmles county,
and his career lias been a most re
markable one. Growing up to man
hood with little or no advantages to
scoure an education lie has taken
position among his fellows that may
well be envied by men whose advan
tages have been far superior to his.
lie has u high order of talent ns a
pubiio speaker—eloquent and foroe-
ful, lie never fails to oarry home to
his hearers the argument iio wishes
to impress upon them. It is true
his grammar is lint alwuys faultless
or his rhetoric beyond successful
criticism, still his good sense and
logical reasoning makes up largely
for the deficiiucy in graiiiiuui mid
rhetoric.
Such men ns Billy Webb can’t In-
kept in tiie buck ground, they come
naturally to tiie front, and wield un
immense power for good in any
rmi8o they may espouse.
Mr. Webb was among the first to
join the alliance organizuliiui ill this
section of country and inis evertieen
faithful to its original principles,
lie went just ns far into politics, in
his allegiance to tiie alliance, ns his
conscience and the principles of the
order would soucliou. But when lie
reached thin limit, lie sturdily re
fused to go any further. When the
office-seekers, in ttieir wild chase for
place and pelf, sought to transform
tiie order into a political machine
Mr. Webb enlisted on the side of the
opposition and did yeoman’s work
against it. And when the final fight
came which ended in tiie division of
the alliance—a largo number going
into tiie third or so-called people's
party— he remained true to democra
cy, and lie wus largely instrumental
in tiis defeat of Atkinson and Ocala-
ism in the recent Tnruer-Atkinsoc
fight in tiie eleventh congressional
district. Mr. Webb was president of
tiie Lowndes comity alliance in the
palmy days of the order and it grew
and flourished under ids administra
tion. He was president during the
past term, but at the last quarterly
meeting third partyism was so far in
the ascendancy in the order a miser
able attempt was nude to humiliate
him by electing John W. Hagan, an
avowed’third party nun, in his place
as president ami electing him as^str;
Mssm
ant county lecturer to a man greatly

Mr. Webb has done much, by pre
cept and example, to reach the peo
ple that they ure the architects of
their own fortune or misfortune. He
a successful farmer, one among
the few who makes money on their
farms. His farm is an example to
his neighbors what success can be at
tained ou a Lowndes county farm
by the exercise of energy, persever
ance and good sense.
Mr. Webb will uiulonbtedly make
a strong race for Senator. He is pop
ular and energotic,and now he is in tiie
race he will make a superb fight for
victory!

THE BLACK MASK.
IVnil'll a Strange Woman Conceals
Her IdrntUx.
Irahku.a, July 24.—A special from
Tifton to the Constitution a few
days since, stated that a pretty wo
man was in the moonlight distillery
business in Berrien county. There
must be somei truth in this. Last
Friday night a citizen of Worth whs
riding along a road in Berrien, when -
a pretty and dualling woman oil
horseback galloped past him aud
went tike lightning up the road. The
oiiixen spurred his horse and finally
succeed in overtaking her. The wo
man, finding that flight was useless,
drew a black mask over her face and
Ireld a conversation with tiie gentle
man. Site said that, for reasons that
were secret, she wished to preserve
Iter identity; but pulling a flask from
her saddle-bags, she offered the gen
tleman a drink of first-class corn,
which lie would not take until she
had first sipped some of it from the
same glass. In the course of the
conversation the woman said: “1
thought you were a revenue detec
tive,” and that gave her secret away.
Who can . she be? is a question
which is puzzling a number of peo
ple.
itomebody is evidently either try
ing to appease the Constitution’s
fondness for sensation or impose
npon the managing editor** creduli
ty. The above is ss consummate a
fake aswaa ever palmed off an a
newspaper.
