EXULTANT OVER INDIAN
MURDERS.
The Hamburg Massacre In
dorSed.
How TO Emcreasc the Demo-
cratic Vote.
Bullets Heavier than Ballots.

The fact is full of significance that
in no State or National Convention
of Democrats since the war has the
killing of negroes and Republican
whites by hired assassins of the
dominant political party in the South
been condemned that Democratic
orators in and out of Congress utter
no word of denunciation of the thou
sands of cold blooded murders per-
petrated there. But few Demo,
cratic papers in the North, even,
have condemned the acts of the
whites in such as the Coushatta and
Hamburg massacres. Of the latter
a paper in our own midst--the Grant
County AaUocate-is thrice happy to
approve with the noted Butler. Now
will the Advocate another time indorse
the Hamburg massacre by quoting
the following notices of approval
copied from Democratic papers. We
copy the same to show the people
the true feelings of the Southern
Democrats toward Republicans North
and South, and what they would do
to regain their lost power:

Governor Stone il tho commander

needed in this State he or tho Legis-

call is made the troops commanded
by Colonel Brooke are trespassers,
and Governor Stone will be justified
in ordering him to attend to has own
affairs. Ii General Anger is anxious
to do something, let him send Col.
Brooke to the Indian Territory. His
presence in Mississippi is not needed
and should not be tolerated.
