1886, SO As. With a continuation of
Democratic-C Conservative rule two years.
during the term of the Legislature to
be elected in November, this debt will
be wiped out.
People of Mississippi, will you at the
behest of the malcontents and disorgan-
izers refuse to endorse the party, and
perpetuate its control of the State,
which has so faithfully performed the
work which you entrusted to its charge (?
We are confident that you will not
refuse the endorsement. That you will,
in November next, roll up a three
fourths majority in the next Legislature,
and say to the party "well done thou
good and faithful servant" go on with
the good work of paying the debt,
reducing the taxes, reducing the ex
penses and perpetuating the liberties of

IT is announce d, with a great flourish
of trumpets, that SOlon Chase and
General Weaver are on the way tC
Mississippi to participate in the can
vass, and list of appointments has
been made for them. We hope that
these gentlemen, who have taken upon
themselves the task Of instructing the
people of this State how they should
vote, will first tell us how they stood
when the iron heel of military despot-
ism was upon Mississippi; why we
heard no word of kindness from them
during the dark years in which we
were groaning under the oppression of
the carpet baggers and their allies
how it happens that at this late day,
when Mississippi is in the hands of her
own sons, that they take such sudden
interest in her affairs, and have made
the discovery that we do not know how
to take care of ourselves. When they
have been heard upon these sub
iects, we will belable better to appFecl-
ate their advice as to who should be
elected members of our State Iegisla-
tnre, and to fill county Offices.

Republicans Organizing.

We see a call, in the Peoples Journal
by the Republican Executive Committee
of this (Hinds) county, for Convention
to meet in this city on Saturday, 18th
inst, for 'the purpose of nominating a
county and legislative ticket" Wheth-
er not the movement will amount to
much remains to be seen. 1t will
depend very much upon the ticket that
the Convention puts in the field. If it
should be composed of the old leaders
of the Radical party, the people of
Kinds may depend upon it that there
will be hard campaign before us to
keep the county from drifting back into
the old ruts from which she was extri-
Gated by the election of 1875. Fore
warned is forearmed. 1t behooves the
Democrats and Conservatives of Kinds
to push forward with vigorous canvass
from this time to the election.

The Northern Greenbackers Going

The National Greenback party ha.
about played out in the North, and it
members are mostly returning to the
Republican party, to which they origin
ally belonged DO the Mississippi
Greenbackers intend to follow them into
that party, whose foundation stone is
oppression to the South, or do they in
tend to reioin the Democratic-C -Conserva
tive party?
The Milwaukee Sentinel, leading
Republican paper Of Wisconsin, has the
following to say of the disbandment of
the National Greenback party, and the
return ofits members to the Republican
ranks;
Now that the old issues which aroused
every loyal man at the beginning of the war
have been revived, it is more than patri-
otlc Greenbacker can stand. The Wiscon-
sin Greenbacker, published at Sparta, has
done only what individual members of the
Greenback party are doing, in coming back
into the Republican party. The issue is not
whether the financial policy of the Govern
ment can be overthrOwn, and it is true that
few Greenbackers are willing it should be
at this beginning of business revival
The old issue of State sovereignty is the
most important, aud the Greenbackers, who
are Federalists beyond all other men, are
not all disposed to allow the State sovereign
ty doctrine to secure victory in the success |

The State Debt, How Created and
How Reduced

When the alien government, which
was put upon Mississippi at the point
of the bayonet, and which was over
: thrown by the great uprising of the
people in the canvass of 1879, was in
power, it was habitually the custom to
make appropriations for exceeding the
revenues derived by taxation, notwith-
standing the fact, that each year the
taxes were increased in amount. This
threw upon the market large amounts
of State warrants with no money in the
Treasury to redeem them. These war
rant fuctuated in value from 30 to Is
cents on the dollar, at the will of the
spectators, and money sharks, most
Of whom were Radical officials
just before the meetings Of the Legis-
lature, warrants, in anticipation oflarge
appropriations, invariably fell to their
lowest point. To obviate this, the Rad
zeal legislators, not relishing the de-
preciated value Of their own pay war
rants, passed funding bills, in which all
warrants issued prior to certain dates,
were required to be funded in bonds
bearing s per cent. interest. Thus a
heavy debt was created, and year by
year increased, during all the years of
Radical rule, until in 1878, it reached
the enormous amount of SI, ,707, ,O56 ga.
For this debt the State had nothing to
show, except elegantly dressed low
hammered, arrogant and wealthy off
cials, who, but few years before had
come among us, with not a dollar in
their possession. This was Radical
financiering.
DEMOCRATIC RULE.
The Democratic-Co Conservative party
