1t would perhaps have been correct to have de-
nominated Gov. Quitman wing up to the period of
the annexation of Texas. Wash. Union.
If the Union feels called upon to NEEDLE with the
affairs of State, and assist in the elevation of the
partizans of Fillmore g. Co. to power it should at
least be restrained by the bounds of truth. 1t does
great injustice in the foregoing nes TO Gen. Qutman
and the Democratic State Rights party of MIssissip
pi, whose standard he bears. Gen. Quitman has al
ways been Democrat in the strictest sense. He
has beer consistent liz the advocacy of Demo-
cratic measures. Did the sapient editor ever know
of his advocacy of National Bank, Protective
Tariff, Internal Improvement by the Federal Govern
men, any of those measures which have been
advocated by the Federal Wing party? He never
was a furious supporter of National Bank, nor a
loud-mouthed admlator of Henry Clay, Footc was
in 1889. He has always opposed the assumption of
undelegaed powers by the Federal Government; and
hence his consistent supper: of the measures for
which the Democratic party has ever commended.
1t is reproach upon the large number of delegates
in the Baltimore Convention in 1913, who voted for
the nomination of Gen. Quitnan for the Vice Presi-
dency, assert that they were urging the claims of
an individual who had been attached to the Demo-
cratic party but four years and would advise she

If gaiter boots they wear,

And wish to change the fashion,
These mawkish, gdwkish, dandy frts,
All get in such passion.
What aoonaen wear the pantaloons,

And each takes up the quarrel.
