IaneoInI to the Detrlncrat. |

STAHHvILLE, Miss, Sept. t7.-An immense
mass meeting and barbecue was held here to-
day Hon. u. Barksflale was introduced to
the audience as the first speaker. In com
plimentary and eloquent language by Dr. j.
G.. Carroll, one of tbs Democratic nominees
for the Legislature. Major BarksdhIe al-
luded tn his visit to Stalkville three years
ago, as candidate for eleeter for the State
At large, and expressed tho delight afforded
him as the depositarY OF The trust Cnntidad to
him by the people to participate Ia Gasting
their votes for the Democratic candidates
who had been deprived Of their seats by
fraud. Hs reviewed the history OF the Dem
ocratie party since the overthrow OF Radical
rule In NJ Mississippi, and showed that 1t had re-
deemed all the pledges which 1t had made to
the people to reduee taxes ind economze ex-
psnditnres
II am here to-day" said Major Barksdale.
"tn plead for the continued ascsndenGy III the
Democratic party in tie State government
and to arratgn It's enemies, whether they sail
under the coors Of open ana undisgnissd
RadicallsIn, or operate behind masked bat
teries MS independents or Nationals, for their
conspiracy to plunge the State back into the
depths from which she has been rescued
Turning to national politics he discussed
the financial questions, and demonstrated
that there Was no reason why any Democrat
should abandon his party to bring relief TO
the people from the effects of Republican
Legislation II reform is the object He argued
that the Democratic purity was not respOnsi-
BILE for past legislation In the Interest OF the
money power, having opposed 1t from the be-
ginning, and being pledged to correct the
evils resulting from it as soon as it obtains
control Of the government, which hepredicted
would be in 1880. .....
Turning from this subject, he said there
were issues involved In the pending election
more important than the financial question,
and cited the recent speeches Of Messrs.
Sherman, Schurz and others, showing that
the Republican leaders Of the North we're
! willing to subordinate every other issue to the
measures designed to convert the, govern
ment into central despotism for depriving
the Southern people of their liberties He
said that the South was solid for her own
protection, and not as a menace to the Union
or the rights Of any other section, and that
the solid South united to the National De-
mocracy would constitute q line OF defense
for the constitutional liberties Of the people,
against which the fanatics might beat and
expend their fury In vain.
Major Barksdale concluded with an exhor-
tation to the Democracy OF Oktibbeha to
stand by the regular organization and ticket
Of their party.
1t is greatly regretted that Major Barks.
