And DIR. Mccormick said unto the peoe
pie, fear ye not, stand still, and see the SAL
walton of the Democracy which will show
to you to-day for the Independents whom
We have seen to-day, ye shall see them again
no more forever.
In company with r. w. Stewart,
ESQ.,, of Phoenix, I left vicksburg last
Saturday morning, and reached Ph@-
nix, in this county, late in the even
ing. Sunday and Monday We're re-
markably quiet days. One could
scarcely believe that the election was
so close at hand. Phoenix and Satar-
tia are in Beat /, and known as the
CLOVER end" or .J..
BANNER BEAT OF THE COUNTY,
and it is the banner beat. 1T has the
pure Democracy in 1t, and itrolled up
a majority of 800 votes. Yazoo is
proud of Beat 1. She is the mainstay
of the county. The Satartia and Phe-
nix clubs are entitled to and receive
the highest praise. n.sa
I remained at Phoenix until 3oclock
Friday, when I left with Capt. J. b.
Hart for Satartia. At Satartia we
found everything serene, placid and
lovely. Satartia still t.
CLAIMED THE HORNS.
At < o'clock we left for YaZoo City,
and we soon reached our destination.
Capt. Hart drives a magnificent pair
of match ponies, and it was pleasure
to ride behind them. On our way we
passed the "Goosie Box" and learned
that it too was largely Democratic. L
think Yazoo City, Tuesday, night was
the quietest town was ever in. NO
rowdyism, no whisky, and not a beliig-
erent man was to be seen or heard
anywhere. Soon the election returns
began to come in, and by o'clock it
was conceded that the Democrats had
elected their ticket by handsome
majority. So far as I can learn, there
was not even the appearance of fraud
or intimidation. AT Benton, / under
stand negroes came in massed under
desperate leaders, and in solid phalanx
attempted to crowd the polls, and also
that a similar occurrence took place
here, but Sheriff Taylor with his dep
uties were active, and the negroes
were shown that the dignity OF the
law must be preserved. The day
PASSED off without a matinee" and
a GOOD deal of credit is due the Sheriff
and his deputies.
When the different boxes were heard
from to-day, the cannon was fired and
a large s-
UNITED STATES FLAG
was hoisted in front of the Democratic
Executive Committee building. These
people are all loyal, and are willing TIC
live under that proud old flag and fighi
for it, if need be, but they cannot and
will not live under negro ignorance anc
misrule. That is settled fact The
fact that keg of power was put un
: der mans house and he and hi
household goods blown to the skies II
Ohioc uts no figure in Yazoo politics
That's side issue. Yazoo county il
} taking care of Yazoo county-not thu
state of Ohio.
The Independents look jaded. 10
day they are weeping over their Jolly
; r. G. Hudson candidate for the Legs
, lature was beaten by
A CoLoRED MAN .....
, that is the way these people rebuke
man when he sloughs off. They put
negro up against him and he was whip
, ped at the polls by an overwhelming
, majority. Hudson only received 8 vote
, on his 1900 acre plantation, but tn
voters even the negroes repudiated him
Some blind talk is being tiipantly in
dulged in by the Independents. On
or two have been found who have tn
temerlty to talK aDOuC
CoNTEsTING THE ELECTION,
, but upon what grounds no "fellah" cal
find out Why, it is notable fact tina
t Jesse Bell, candidate for CHANGER.
} clerk on the Independent ticket, wa
9 heard to say at Phoenix that the cleo
= ton was perfectly fair, and that he wa
: certain that the Independent, tickle
Q would be defeated. The idea of con
testing the election is bald absurdity
y 1t is all balderdash.
! The Democracy of Yazoo is safe
safe o-day-safe next year-sate
q FOR ALL TIME.
: They have passed through trials an
= tribulations; and they don't take kind
ly to an other reign of misrule an
corruption.
A great deal of credit is due the va
!. ZOO Herald. 1t has fearlessly cham
= pioned the cause of Democracy, an
u too much praise cannot be given to Co
y McCullum. He has worked like tn
u man that he is, and he deserves n
Q small amount of praise. These peopl
It love McCullum, and their love is reciI
y rocated.
j. The cleverness of these people is I'm
o equalled. 1t cannot be excelled.
It have spent two of the most peasan
ii days Of my life In this city
It Have met Messrs. Prewett, No
g Cullum, Andrews, Harlow, Gibbs
It Williams, Mccormick, Walpole, Cal
e hoon, Henry, Bowman, Taylor, Powell
f Nobel, Bugh, Barksdale, Norrell, Rich
ardson, Roach, HARRISON and hos
4 of others, and / am indebted to then
a all for rcourtesies. / trust that ever
!. county in the state is Democratic.
