Riot Running Rampant in the Capitol.
On last Monday night there was large
crowd of negroes, of both sexes, gathered in
the Representatives. Hall to hear the
speeches of Bryant, (col.), and 5. J. Ire
land, (col. J, whom the Radicals had import
ed from Louisiana to rally the old clans to-
gether. Besides these, there was a number
of Democrats present, who attended out Of
curiosity to see how the pow-wow would
turn out. The Greenbaek leaders were also
in attendance, to see if they had lost their
grip on the Radical viper, and whether they
were really going to be stung to death by
the creature they had, with their midnight
meetings, warmed into life. The first speak
er, Bryant, was introduced by Mr. John
McGill, as gentleman from Louisiana.
To say that the speech was as bitter as the
bitterest that was ever heard in Kinds
county, is to say the least that can be said
of it. We wish We could give a full report
of it, but want of space forbids. He said
That standing where Jefferson Davis had
stood he was there to denounee Staaes Rights,
that States Rights had murdered Abraham
Lincoln and John Brown, the first great
champion of liberty. That during slavery
negroes had been run with blood-hounds,
swung up by thumb-screws and beaten with
perforated paddles. He spoke of shotgun
campaigns, and the negroes who had fell
under the rifles of red-shirted Democrats
He lauded the Radical Republican party,
and the infamies of carpet-bag rule, to the
Democrats, and particularly the Southern
Democrats. He warmed up on the great
charities of the North, and boosted of the
money they had sent South during the
yellow fever. He said that the Greenback-
ers were Democrats in disguise, and warned
the negroes against them. We will not at
tempt to follow him further. The part
of his speech on States Rights and
the heathenism of Southern Democrats,
and the glories of Republicanism, was the
same as recently made by Roscoe Conkling,
of New York. He had committed it to
memory, and spoke it rer6dtim. Bryant is a
carpet Dagger, and like his clan is bound
to steal something, and as they are now out
of Office and can't steal anything else, they
have taken to stealing the speeches of their
Northern allies. 1t was, On the whole, Just
such speech as it wouldn't be good policy
for the Radicals to have made too frequently
in Kinds county. Speeches like it, on the
stump, and in the Legislature that passed the
Gatling gun bill, were succeeded by the great
uprising in 1875. Unless we are very much
mistaken in the temper of the people, and
we don't think we are, they will not stand
a revival of the old Radical methods of
abusing the white people of the South. All
is quiet now in Kinds, but let the Radicals
send for more Bryants, and let them hurl
their vindictive hate, and villainous asser-
tions, and infamous insinuations in the
faces of the people, and no threats of Kan
sas emigration will deter them from stamp
ing the life out of the black line when it
shows itself in that form. The spirit that
banished the Caldwells and Wilbourns from
the county is in the people yet. Radical
leaders had better make note of what we
say.
somewhat different kind of speech. Sam.
has been here before and knew the people
he knows that it is best not to make them
mad He said of the two tickets, Green
back and Democratic, he would vote the
latter, that the former were trying to re-
pudiate the national debt which was made
to set the negroes free. He advised the
negroes to vote the straight Republican
ticket. That the Democrats had promised
that there would be a fair count in this
county, and he had confidence enough in
them to believe what they said, but he
added, if they did not have fair count that
the North would send an army here to in
sure fair count next year After Sans
speech the meeting broke up. 1t was shown
very plainly that the Radical negroes are
going to vote the Republican ticket. The
Democrats, who were present, were not
surprised at the demonstration because they
have been expecting something like it ever
since the Greenbackers have been coquet-
ting with the sleeping Radical viper. The
Greenbackers, so far as we could learn, were
mad as hornets. They don't want to real
ize that they have lost their grip on the
black line. We understand that they asked
for division of time which the Radicals
would not grant. We are gratifed that
we will not be called upon to write an ac
count OF any more such meetings in Jack
son, as the canvass is near at end. There
is a lesson, however, in it which every true
man in Hinds should heed The black line
is alive. The Radicals will vote solidly to
capture the county next Tuesday. Fore
warned is forearmed Men of Kinds, will
you take warning in time?
