WHO THEY ARE.
Benton Co. Miss Argus Dem.): There
is no difficulty in discovering who the shallow
pated ninnies in Congress are, for all know
them to be conscientious gentlemen on the
Democratic side of the House, who dance to
the tune of I" Investigation" sung by the
tax-dodging, weak backed Sammy, and Re-
publican sharpers, who have outgeneraled
these same Democratic, Websterian states
men on every occasion, and who are now COM
pletely pulling the wool over their eyes,"
DOING WORK FOR RADICALS.
GAINESVILLE (Tenn.) Chronicle (Dem) -
Even in this electoral investigation business
the Democratic party is practically doing the
work of the Radicals, who secretly instigated
the whole thing, the success of which is de-
sired by many of them, though they are OPP
emily voting against it.
But it is too late now to urge better pol
icy in the present Congress all that is now
left is for the Democratic party to shape its
policy more definitely before the coming cleo
tions, and for the people, with their eyes wide
open to their true interests, to demand an un-
finching execution to their will from their
chosen representatives, and especially to i'm
press upon them that they are sent to Con-
gress for the purpose of business and not for
their own pleasure and amusement.
PREVIOUSLY BLUNDERED.
Okolona (Miss.) Messenger (Dem.) We see
! %, oI,c n;o,a ~ Dot
resolutions, as expressed in the Messenger
last week, and we cannot avoid the conviction
that the Democrats in Congress have griev-
ously Numbered.
LACKS GRIT.
Oxford (NIiss.) Falcon (Dem.) Mills of
only Democrats in the House that had the
courage to vote against the Potter resolution.
We are satisfied there were others in the
House who believed no good would result to
the South from the move still they didn't
have the grit to say so by their vote.
BULLDozED.
Upton (Tenn.) Record (Dem.) 1t is not
good generalship to push party into fight
so distasteful to a majority of its members
The Southern and Western men are allowing
themselves to be bull-dozed by Mr.. Tilden's
managers at Washington, just as they were
at st. Louis.
Huntsville (Ala.) Advocate Dem.) If the
investigation was honestly intended to make
fraud odious it would, AMI always will, have
our cordial support f; but enough has come to
the surface within the past week to prove
that it was only intended for political purpos-
es-revolution though it be. The politicians
forced this country into terrible internecine
war for their own personal ends, but the game
will not do now. The people are not ripe for
revolution.
WHY DON'T YOU SAY so?
Little Rock Democrat Oh, Mr.. Potter,
do you really want to Mexicanze this
Government ? If not, why don't you say SO
in the terse Anglo-Saxon used by the Hon. W.
| f. Slemons, when interviewed on the subject
of Mr.. Hayes title, short time ago. The
representatives from the Second Arkansas
district is reported to have said that all
hi couldn't touch Hayes title" That's
| WHdL VIC Cdli pidiu eoih.
DON'T CARE THREE CENTS.
Vicksburg Herald (Dem.l: A vast major
ity of the Southern people do not care three
cents about the Potter resolutions. They
know that Mr.. Hayes was not elected Presi-
dent, but they know the majority of North
ern people wanted him for President, and that
he is installed President, and they will not
take the least stock in any effort to unseat
him.
SOME GOOD ADVICE.
Forrest City (Ark.) Courier The man
must possess a great deal of moral courage
who, unheeding the frowns of his friends,
stood up for the rights and privileges of the
white men Of the South-men who strained
every nerve in order to defeat him-and vel
Hayes did so, believing conscientionsly that
he was only discharging the duties of his Of
| fee.
Would it not benefit our people more If oul
Legislators would turn their attention to some
scheme for levying the Mississippi, building
the Southern Pacific, or what is of more i'm
portanee still, give employment to the thous
ands of starving laborers that are now scat
tered broadcast throughout the length ant
breadth of the land Would not any 0
these schemes be more beneficial to our PEG
pie than wasting time and money discussing
