Large Democratic Majority Certain.

DECK HILL, Miss, Oct 20, 1875.
uEssRs. Power q BARKsDALE: +
lite from enthusiasm after the enjoy
ent Of the happiest political days per
ms ever witnessed in this place. On
count Of the fact that the time of
49, Walthall and J. Il. George is so
Incl occupied in laboring for the Re
smptjon of the State from Radical mis-
H. and corruption, we could not deter
inc On what day we would be able to
5iaim their services, until we were left but
NIL time to give notice to the people,
"A notwithstanding this, and notwith-
4anding every effort was made by the
Radcal leaders Of this county to prevent
i colored people from coming out, vet
\ had splendid barbecue and a large
how'd. $50 Of whom were colored men,
h. came to hear the truth FROM a truth
b standpoint.
At II o'clock A. NJ,
GEN. E. c. wALTHALL,
Ian whom the Confederacy could boast
"a no more brave nor gallant a leader
N general, and who, by the way, is to
i next governor Of Mississippi, took the
Ind. and delivered the opening speech
Nj for one hour and forty-five minutes
sld the immense throng spell-bound,
Ahder one of the most terrible arraign-
ents of the Radical party, both national
III State, charging home, directly upon
Il the cause Of the poverty of all, and
ia terrible stringency in the money
Hairs Of the country. And, notwith-
hndng he is very weak from long con
hued ilI-health, SO well was lie enlisted
IN the cause that he seems to strengthen
LII appear more and more powerful as
warmed up to the close of his speech. |
h gas soul-stirring to see his old friends
la soldiers sit under his eyes and |
il the tears of love and remembrance of |
kyotlon roll down their cheeks.
After the conclusion Of his speech,
GEN. J. 4. GEORGE,
la able, efficient Chairman of the State |
emocratic Executive Committee, who
i done so much for the glorious cause
N honest government, and the overthrow
the spolsmen of our State, was intro
iced, when he proceeded to cheer up
L people with the announcement of the
Bous news that the enemy was certainly
listed; that the victory was ours,
ID that the State would certainly be
1eemed on the ID of November. He
hde glorious speech, in his usual
hppy style, satisfying the colored people
at they had been deluded that the
bite people had been ridden by them
htil their backs were sore, and proposed
n throw off their unmerciful riders that
Ne horn had sounded for dinner and the
bile had halted. After he had finished,
hner was announced and all hands
listed on the sumptuous barbecue, pre-
red for them. After which our
ing, talented and happily-gifted young
Myers, Of Grenada, q. j. Freeman
Nj j. NJ. Ellis each entertained the
bwd in a speech of an hour, and tell
u they did it well. Oh, that the fair
ate Of Mississippi may be redeemed
bat such gifted and patriotic gentlemen
Py have the opportunity of conducting
+ affairs of State in the interest of
|nesty and enlightenment. A. j. Ba-
,, candidate fer the Legislature, was
En- called for, when he arose and re
fned thanks to his people for the
Prked attention which they had given
Il eminent speakers during the entire
NJ He explained to the colored people
Nht these speakers had not come here in
+ interest Of his county ticket, that be-
3 already certainty; but to make
p effort with them in the interest of a
neral peace, and to warn them of their
|for. After which, he opened the roll
pOk, when a considerable number of the
Rdlng colored men advanced to the
Rnd and enrolled their names as Demo
hts
The whole ticket in this county viii be
feted by 700 majority.
Very truly, A DEMOCRAT.
