suit is to be that every Democrat In
the club will vote for Tildcn and the

THE MAJORITY REPORT.

TEE HEARD FROM.
The Lies Testified 10 EehRslEcd
for an Campaign Document.

The special report of the Committee
of the Senate, appointed and instructed
to inquire show far the rights of the
people of Mississippi, guaranteed By the
Constitution of the United States, were
violated by force, fraud and intimidation
at the State election, held November ID,
1873, has beea submitted, 1t will be
followed by minority report. How a
State, unquestionably as Republican as
Vermont, upon fair and full vote of
the qualified voters, was swept by the
Democracy, will be understood after
reading this report.
As preliminary, the COMMITTEES show,
by official statistics, that the cutlery of
excessive taxation and misrule in the
State Is not warranted. During the
twenty years from 1850 to 1870, the
State was under Democratic rule. The
total expenditures for that time were
S25, 49,, 646, A, or an annual average of
81. 29l. 632, 80. Under the Republican
administration for six years, from 1870
to 1876, the aggregate expenditures were
s.. o57. 525, rs, or an annual average of
1892, 920, So. The committee say that
this may be thought unfair as it includes
four wears of war, from 1861 to 1865.
Deducting these years, the annual av-
erage expenditure under Democratic adj
ministration yas 1899, 200 50, against
s992. 920 90 under Republican rule
This difference is partly accounted for IN
the fact that, before the war, taxes were
Maid in gold and silver and not in de-
nr;-oiated currency, and everything was
nheaper. When, IN January, 1870, the
Republicans came into power, 0e~tee
warrants we're worth but sixty-hye cents
on the dollar. The State Capitol and
mansion were dilapidated. The Peni-
Tertiary and Lunatic Asylum had TO be
enlarged, and all these improve ments
cost nearly two prices, because payments
we're made in warrants at their reduced
vaIue. To addition, the free school sys-
| tenn. to which Mississippi had been a
stranger. was introduced, and the ex-
| nanse of that was about $500, 600 a year,
for the six years. pedqcting these ex-
traordinary but essential and necessary

of administering State affairs under Re
nnbI;can administration were but S523,

expenses, actually SO, $50 less per yea

Extract from Letter from Geo. c. Mckee. !
81 would beg you to bear in mind that
there is no fear of cutting too deep. The
evil is too enormous. The petition and
Appeal of the Tax Payers Convention
should be needed. 1t is about the ablest
paper l have seen in Mississippi for years.
OF course | do not subscribe to each and
every one of its sentiments. | do not
suppose there was a single member of the
Convention who did. But in its general
tenor il is correct, and hope our legs-
lators will not allow themselves 70 be
scared OF from what is right by any out
cry of partizanship. Let not the action
of the Tax Payers Convention OF jack
son be identified with the action of the
"Tax-payers' league" at Vicksburg. The
HPetitition and Appeal" are singdlarly
and carefully non -partizan. Although L
doubt not that h large majority OF the
members of that Convention are working
and plotting for the overthrow Of the he
publican party, yet when the people meet
as citizens, and present to the peoples
legislature weli-t0qpded grievances, 1t Is
no answer to their complaints to say that
most of the Convention were Democrats.
When party governs for the party alone,
and not for the people, it has no business
to govern at all.
"And this tax paying is not so much
question of partizan feeling as Of pocket
book feeling. Party feeling is altogether
too high in Mississippi. Remember,
then, that the deeper you go into mans
pocket, the deeper you stir up his feelings
No matter whether it is the usual swind-
ling charges of sections at relatives tu,
neral or onerous taxes upon dilapidated
plantation, the victim may pay silently,
but not the less angrily.
"What Mississippi needs is not com
parison between parties as to the relative
extravaganza of this or that party. We
want not comparative aud relative econ
omy. we want absolute economy. We
are pledged to it. Let US have it."
