STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,
JACKSON, MISS, Aug. 25, 1881.\
The people of Mississippi, in 1875.
placed the administration OF their State
Government in the hands of the Demo-
cratic Conservative party. That party
at once replaced the corruption and in
competency that had marked Republi.
can civil rule for the preceding five
years, with honesty, Integrity and abil-
ity, in departments of the State Gov>
eminent. All fair minded men must
admit that the administration Of pnb>
lie affairs by the Democratic Conserva-
tive party presents an extraordinary
contrast to the ignorance, rapacity and
corruption that we're the prominent
characteristics of official conduct under
Republican rule in this State.
1t is undeniably true that the Demo,
cratic Conservative party has given to
the State, a liberal, just and honest
government. The burdens of taxation
have been greatly lightened, the tx.
renscs administering the government
have been decreased. and an intelligent
aud just system of economy has been
introduced in the administration of
public affairs-Stete, county and mu-
nicipal. The laws have been faithfully
and iinpartially administered aud in
place of the former condition of unrest
and discomfort, the people of Missis,
sippi have had, under Democrat &c aus
pieces, tranquility and repose.
The lines Of political thought are
broadening, and progressive
and liberal spirit seeks to
create and develop all the conditions
at home, and in our relations with the
nation ct large, that are essential to the
attraction of immigration and to the
general progress and prosperity of the
State.
We cannot doubt that these purposes
can be best promoted unde the auspl~
ces OF the party that has already given
to the State a just and honest govern.
