public matters, and express in no mild form

ministratiOn which for t7n years hes been
preying upon the vital interests Of the state.
Let me here say that the
d ORGANIZATION OF TIE PEOPLE
concerning whom IspsaE, :. unsurpassed in
the Politfcsl history OF Mississippi or any
other State. Nor is this only exuberapce of
( IeeIirg, an ehervescence of political sc nti-
ment, and a wild, meaningless expression of
artlsuc enthustas No prepared, and chemically
prepared, Tor this occasion. No, not this but
lha' terrific outburst of public sentiment
which, glowing with all the emotions
that honor, patriotism and truth evoke or
arouse into activity, leaPs upward In its
lnlghty bound with = tOsr like the thUndeIs
OF the ocean and flash electric and dazzling
as the gleam of the lightning. The white
people OF Mississippi are voIcapoized in
their feelings there is q mighty uphesyal Of
that public sentiment which for ten
long years has lain dormant, and
many thought TO be lost forever. Yet the vol

the great signsi of q peoples triumph, the

let me say mat
NOT THE 5MOCRATIC PARTY
alone, but aided by the ho.est members Of
Republicanism, is accomplishing this mighty
work Of reform. Hence the banner Of the

minded Of the fact that Demo-
racy is not doing al this bat
II is the people. TINS is cOnlBaI dffrely true
yet be who would stop TO settle a name or re-
fuse to act because OF political denomination
and termS, is far worse than the avoyVed Rsdi-

tiated passions curse so terribly and onnrass
