simple argument, dish of strawberries

the Universalist's argument of straWber-

also better quality than heretofore. A
splendid crop is predicted, and improved

fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
JACKSON, Miss, Nov 5.-The canvass closed to-
day. The quictness which had characterized it
since its beginning, and which it was thought
would continue till the end, has been broken by
scenes of violence and the issuance Of fiery addresses
by Democratic committees. which are calculated TO
lead to more bloodshed. 1t is apparent to the De
mocracy, from the divisions among their voters
and the apathy prevailing in several counties that
the feelings and prejudces of their party must be
aroused in order to maintain respectable opposition
and cement their now broken ranks; hence they
appeal in the most forcible manner for revival of
the policy of 1875 which reyolutionized the State
and stifed the voice of the majority. Some Of the
speeches of leading Democrats have been exceed
ingly incorporate, counsoling violence in order to
elect their ticket.
The shooting Of Captain Thipcn in the back at
Canton was the result of these teachings. All sorts
of plans will he resorted to to carry out their
schemes Especial attention will be given TO those
white Independents whose party affiliations here
tofOre have been with the Democracy. The hate of
the BOurbons against this class of citizens is very
intense, and many have been driven from active
paTticipatiOn in the canvass 10y threatened social
and business Ostracism The Bourbon Democracy
intends to rule Mississippi if it has 10 resort to
revolutionary methods to accomplish its purpose
The Republicans and Independents are exceedingly
hopeful and will poll the full strength of their party
