Do the people Of Mississippi desire
any further evidence that Radical mu-
sic is in the air, and that they will have
the same fight to make in 1880 that
they made in 1875 Now is the time
to put their feet upon the movement,
and crush the viper as he is just warm
ing into life.
The Greenbackers, Independents and
sore-heads are responsible for this state
of affairs. They have sought the viper
in his lair. They have warmed him in
in their bosoms. They have petted
and cajoled him. They have held
midnight meetings with him, against
the protest of those who desire to see
the State continue to prosper under the
economical government established, by
the Democratic Conservative party, in
1876. Now he turns upon them, and
stings them. He has already stung the
Greenback party in Kinds to death,
but mores the pity, he does not stop
there, but is striking with his deadly
fangs at the whole people, those who
had no part, nor lot, in warming him
into life. He proposes to return Mssis-
sippi to the rule of Radical infamy,
from which she was redeemed by the
great uprising in 1875.
Will the people submit to it? Have
they so soon forgotten the Black line
Legislatures that held high carnival in
the Capitol? Have they forgotten
Ames and his gang? Do they remem-
Der the infamous Gatling gun militia |
law, and Caldwell's black cohorts that
tramped with glittering muskets to over
awe the people? Have all the outrages,
and insults that were put upon them
from 1867 to 1875, passed from their
We know these things
have not been forgotten. We feel con-
fident the people will not submit to the
of Radical rule in this
State; They must not be lulled
into a false sense of security. The
danger is imminent, the remedy is
at hand. 1t is the Democratic-C onser-
vative party which redeemed the State
in 1875. 1t must not be defeated.
Victory must perch upon its banners
IN every county in the State.
If the men who have gone off with
The Greenbackers and Independents,
intend to see the danger, and aid in
lverting it, it is time they were opening
heir eyes. 1t is time they were return
ng to the Democratic Conservative
party, and openly avOwing that they q
intend to vote with it. The Democrats |
will carry the State without their aid, '

Tho really detests Radical rule, is under 0
