serious charge brought against him
Correspondence Of the Vcksburg Sentinel.


JACKSON, April 2s, 1915.


SIR:--Tbe Executive appointment Of
United States Senator has Justly excited
public inquiry, as 10 whom Opprobrium
should be applied, in the Withholding from
the Hon. Jacob Thompson the Executive
appointment; and upon inquiry, learn
from reliable sources, that Gov. Brown
forwarded the appointment enveloped in
letter addressed 10 Hon. r. ]. Walker,
who without the authority of The Govern.
or has withheld the appointment, notwth.
standing the messenger and the letter
were in the city Of Washington several
days before Mr.. Thompson left.


] asked the Governor if Mr.. Walker
had not suggested different tndiridual as
Senator in his (Mr. Walker's) letter of
resignation. The Governor replied, that,
that was prirate matter and declined an
swering. Now the simple story is las is
easily SEEM that Mr.. Walker desired an.
other individual appointed Senator, and
because his fayorile had not received the
Executive appointment, he took the re-
IponslblIity of Withholding the appoint
nent, and thus 10 thwart the Executive, in
MS effort 10 serve the State, and thereby
0 cause the State to be unrepresenled in
he Senate Of the United States. The Sc.
crest condemnation is Justly due TO any
nan who will thus mis-serve the State.


Yours, respectfully,


JOS. s. TEAKE
