Equality before the law" Between
these inscriptions were life-size pictures
Of q negro and a white man shaking

represent Bynum in the act of Ousting
JEFF Evans, the negro sheriff, from
office. A fourth transparency had 8
devil at the head of large coffin, and
over it the prophetic words, "This is the
last of the Radical party"
THE DEVIL is EVIDENTLY PLEASED,
no less so than was Eness, as repre-
sented by Virgil, contemplating, in the
prophetic sculpture Of his shield, tie
future glOries of Rome. On the

are faithful Iife-size pictures Of A. w.
Nelson, q negro magistrate and Rad
icsl candidate for the State senate, and

were the following lines: "HeTe are the
lilies, they toll not, neither do they
spin; and yet Solomon in sll his glory
was not aTrayed like one of these" A
fifth transparency represented Campbt Ii
and JEFF Evans sta anding on opposite
sides of the county safe. According to
the inscription JEFF says: "Mr. Camp
bell, am afraid to take it myself. If
you will steal | will hide and do the
swearing The other rem arks: "Jeff,
We must have some of the money; l
will do the stealing and you must do
the swearing" This picture and these
words recall au incident which occurred
some eighteen months ago, when sew
eral Thousand dollars of the peoples
money was officially stolen, or Iather
stolen by the Radical officials. On the
reverse side of this transparency is writ
ten "Penitentiary Convict" above life
size picture Of the incendiaristic negro
orator L. Allbritton, who repeats what
he spoke, "Colored men, don't go to
hear the Democrats; they will insult
your intelligent leaders" The respect
ability of Democrat would certainly
insult and terribly alarm the degraded
Radical; and personal honesty would
make II lunatic of an ordinary Missis-
sippi carpetbagger.
THE MINOR TRANsPARENCIEs
were countless, and too varied to be
given, all the clubs whose names are
given above being represented in the
transparencies. Among the inscriptions
on the smaller tTsnsp9rencies most no.
ticeable were the following, which may
serve ss a political barometer OF the sen-
timent of the Democrats and Conserva-
tives, and also be g thermometer show
ing the temperature OF their feelings:
