EDITORS CLARION: Our Democratic
Conservative Club has recognized and
are at work in earnest. On the 9Th of
July our Club met at the usual place of
meeting (Dunn's Store) and erected n
feet flag pole; on the top, is noble pair
of chuck horns;;' from this pole floats a
large United States flag. with the names
of Tilden and Hendricks upon it. We
feel very proud of this pole and flag, as
we think it the first raised in the State
and we believe that you will pardon the
pride and say that we have a right to be
80. w hen we tell you that at this voting
precinct, the registration books Of last
year showed d white and 573 colored vo-
tiers, and the entire Democratic ticket was
elected by nearly 80 majority. Our Club
roll numbers over 200, two thirds of whom
are coIored. How is this for "intimida-
ton? Our Club meets twice month and
each and every member is at work. We do
not receive any drones to membership.
Each member is committee of one TO
canvass for the party and cause and re
ceive new members.
We receive The CLARION reoularlv
and must congratulate you for the hard
and efflcIent work you are doing in the
cause. Keep on hitting such blows.
Yours,

WHEN THE LIGHTNING ONCE STRIKES
the Radical party in Southern State, it
strikes it all over, and for good. The
Radicals have never been known to re-
claim State they have once lost. See
how it vas in Arkansas and see how it
is in Alabame-fofty thousand Demo-
cratic majority. The talk of the wreck
ers about regaining their lost position in
Mississippi is worse than foolishness.
But the duty, nevertheless, remains for
the men of the good old commonyealth to
do their whole duty. Eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty.

Organize! Organfze!!!

We are appraised that in some locaIi-
ties Democratic Clubs have not yet been
formed. This essential step cannot be
postponed with safety to the cause. To
secure victory, there must be effective
organization. To facilitate the forma-
ton of Clubs, and for the convenience Of
voters, we will submit the following plan
of organization

All Right.
service,

We don't see how any Democrat could
have hesitated in voting for the resolu-
tions of Mr.. Lord The Democrats are
pledged to maintain the 18th Amendment
forbidding the discrimination in the
matter of suffrage against any class or
race, aud against fraud aud intimidation
to carry elections. Ehe Only question is,
who has been guilty of violating the law ?
We maintain that fraud and violence
we're the fayorite agencies by which the
adventures obtained power in the
reconstructed States, and that the
Democracy have been the only true
friends of peace aud fair elections. If
they have been involved in difficulties, it
is because they were forced into them
For example, the Coahoma riot, which
was caused by ap attempt of the negro
color line officials to put down Senator
Alearp for exposing their rascalities in a
public sPeeeh--tRe Clinton riot, and the
Vicksb0ra collision, whicls &ege brought
about by the Vaccinations of AmeS, who
thought that 'thc blood of twenty FIVE o.
Il" thirty negroes would be good fer the
" Republican party"

Capt. w. w. Humphries. Chairma II
of the Lowndes county Democratic Ex-

calling upon the Democratic Clubs to
make special provision for the protec-
ton of the Democratic voters of color in

well given. The plan. should be adopted
by every Club in the State. The color
ed Democratic voters must be protected
against intimidation and violence, at ali
hazards.

THE Mississippi Building at the Cen
tennial Exhibition continues to attract
large crowds by its novelty and unique
structure. 1t is plainly but comfortably
furnished, with reception room, parlor
and dressing apartments. Mr.. Langley
is constantly at his post, and does the
honors with a courtesy and warmth which
make all feel at home. Tazwell Jones
is attentive and polite, and does his part
admirably. The first impulse which a
Mississippian feels on entering the
grounds, amid the wilderness of wonders,
is to seek out this humble building, and
the emotion which the first glimpse of
of it inspires, is kindred to the feelings
which is awakened when one catches a
sight of the flag of his own country wav-
ing amid the pennons of other nations in
a strange port.

A Radical Roorback,

About these days look out for Radical
roorhacks. One of the last is statement
that Mr.. Hendricks was concerned as at
torney or agent in lobbying war claim
for mules through the War Department,
and when unsuccessful there, in the
Senate while lie was Senator. Mr.
Hendricks explains to Herald reporter
that he had no interest in the claim,
and meyer thought Of being employed as
an attorney to collect It, He had long
been a warm personal friend OF Ar.
Henderson, the claimant, and presented
his case to the Senate because he con-
sidered it a Just one. The number of
mules was ninety, and the amount of
the claim was 81, 200. Mr.. Henderson
says he employed Mr.. Hendricks law
firm as counsel before the Governor was
a member of the Senate, and that he
never gave him any compensation what
ever for his services after he became
Senator. Everybody knows that it is
the habit of members of Congress t2
present the claims of their constituents
and secure their payment if they believe
them 10 be iqst-that it is service ex-
pected and even required, and that no
imputation of improper motives ever at
taches to the members for rendering such
service,
