LOCAL POLITICAL NOTES.
70 packing the polls.


Club.
DEMOCRATS and Conservatives, beware of
split tickets.
WERE you at the black line meeting
Monday night?
The Greenbackers latest campaign song
is, 'Why so sad, my darling?'
WHAT do the Democrats and Conserva-
tives think Of Bryant's black line speech,
last Monday night?
SAM IRELAND set'um up for the boys
Monday night That what makes the
Greenbackers mad.
GREENBACKERs of Jackson, have you
heard the news from Marshall? All the
Greenbackers of any prominence or ability
have withdrawn from the canvass.
IF Bryant had made the speech in 1875
that he made last Monday in Kinds county,
he would have heard something drap.
Mr.. GILL, We don't want any more Louis
lana negroes 10 come to Mississippi and ma ke
such speeches as Bryant made Monday
night.
Mr.. W. 5. HAMILTON, the former popu-
lar express agent at this place, now of
Edwards, is a candidate for Supervisor in
the I'd District.
THE RAIDS sent all the way to New Or
leans for big yaller Sam Ireland, to tell
what he knew about the Greenbackers lit
tie WALLER Mcleod.
1t would have been an old story, but still
it would have been appropriate, for Sam
Ireland to have told what become of the
Alcorn University money.
DEMOCRATS and Conservatives, remember
that the election comes off next Tuesday.
Work with a determination to save old
Kinds from Radical rule.
Mr.. u. L. LEWIS, writes that the Green
hackers are using his name for Constable
in this (5th) Supervisors District without
his authority, knowledge or consent:
BRYANT (col. said he had been solicited
by friends to speak here. We would re-
spectfully suggest to the aforesaid friends
that one speech Of that sort here is enough.
IT is rumored that the Green5ackers who
reside in this city are already negotiating
with the Jimmie Baker for cheap excursion
rates up salt river. Officers not yet selected.
BUD REFER and James Tapley may have
been delegates to Democratic County
Convention in 1878, but if they are elected
now, it will be a Radical victory all the
same.
DID you read "run, Democrat, run" in
the Independent ? Nobody supposed there
wasanything in it except its name. How
does Mr.. Andrew Addison like ''Run, Dem
ocrat, Runf'
If the people of Jackson want local
Representative who will be in position to
have influence with the Democratic major
ity in the Legislature they will vote for
Thomas A Melville.
THE Greenback laborers are "poo-poo-
ing" the Radical ticket in Kinds, but if the
ticket is elected it will be Republican
victory all the same, and the Greenbac kers
will be responsible for it.
THE Radicals have agreed upon terms for
the steamer Clifton to carry them up salt
river November 9Th. Col w. II. Gibbs,
master; Bud Reber, clerk; Mr.. Gill,
mate n. D. Sneed steward.
Now that the old Radical machine is
creased up and running again, let the word
be passed around that there must be no
packing Ofthe polls to keep Democrats from
voting, like there used to be in old times.
GREENBACKERs, after seeing the Radical
meeting on last Monday night, do you
really think it was a Democratic trick :? Be
honest about it, don't you think it was a
fearful mistake to arouse the black line
tiger?
A RADICAL negro was overhead to tell
one of their candidates on Monday night
that they (the Rads) had run ever d-m
Democrat out of Brownsville the other day.
What have the blanked blank Democrats of
Brownsville to say upon the subject =?
ANY Radical, Republican, Conservative
or Democrat, black or white, living in
Jackson, who can vote against Col. James d.
Stewart, the gallant President of the How
ard Association during the epidemic Of1878,
has, to say the least of it, very little local
pride.
Col. W. H. GIBBS may be very clever
gentleman, and lessee of the penitentiary
but nevertheless he was a member of the
Black-and Tan Convention, Radical mem
Der of the Legislature, and elected Auditor
on the Ames ticket, which we would call a
varv GOOD Radical record
The Greenbackers whats left of them)
were out in force at the Radical meeting on
Monday night. We presume that they are
now satisfied that they have warmed up the
black line viper, and that when it comes to
holding Radical negro meetings, the Radi-
Gals can beat them all to pieces.
Mr.. Gill must have taken our advice and
soaped the black line tigers tail, judging
from the Greenback meeting Saturday
night The boys have lost their grip on
the animal and didn't have him with them
at the meeting. The only thing they had
to show for their end was little fur that
still stuck to their hands.
| THE Greenbackers' meeting on Saturday
night was a complete fiat. There were about
fifty present and they looked mighty sick
Peyton Robinson, (highly colored,) late
Radical Justice of the Peace, clawed the
air awhile, but his speech, like the meeting
had nothing in it. The Greenbackers have
nearly all taken our advice and melted y
DURING the fearful epidemic of 1873,
Jackson suffered nearly as much as any other
community in the State, made fewer appeals
for aid, and said less about it. Our How
ard Association made a record that can
never be forgotten. Col. James d. Stewart
Democratic-C Conservative candidate fol-
State Senator, was President of the How
ards
