Since the memorable struggle IN
1875 for home rule and low taxes,
we have had no formidable oppOsi
ton until the present campaign, and !
.he opposition now is composed Of
Independent.GreenbackeTs and Re
publicaus, which comprises in our
view, such q conglomeration Of het.
terodox doctrines, and ism's as to |
make their claims tor Office and posi-. 1
ton so un.enablo that we can't see 1
how any well Informed voter can sup. |
port such ticket
We can very readily see how the I
Greenbackers can unite with the
Conservative Democracy, for they
are only continuing for the great Il. |
naneial reforms Of the government, |
which the Conservatives Democratic
party has been battling for os vel,
rs can be shown by their votes IN the
u S. Congress for years past, but
how they, The Greenhackers, can raj
ly themselves with o party that have
been and still are adverse to their
pct, theories and schemes seems
supurlatively ridiculous, andthe only
renl plea they can present for polIti-
cal preferment, is the love of place
and power in the State Government
The combination is so unnatural
and diverse that we see many Of the
eading Republicans Of the State re-
iusing such an alliance, and openly
declaring for the State Democratic
Conservative ticket These gentle
men fully recognize that the pledges
made By the Conservative Democratic
party Ia 1875 and since, have been
fully redeemed and carried out, and
we DO not hesitate to affirm that the
/ financial condition Of Mississippi to
day viii compare fayorably with any
State iu The union, and never before
since The war-has there been such
universal good order, peace and quiet
among the citizens Of the State
Now why should any voter forsake
party that has sacredly kept its
promises and pledgea2 With The
State tax commencing with fiscal
year 1876 G5 mills, in 1875 mills
|in 1875 and 70, 81 mills, and in
1850 and 81, 8 mills, the current
expenses Of the State has been met
and paid together with bonds and in
terest aecruing have been paid at
maturity Of q large funded debt OF
Sl750,O0O or thereabout, hanging
over the State on LIST January 1876,
leaving only a small balance yet to
be paid at maturity, which viii and
can be paid at 3 mills or less, and
/ The warrants Of the State kept at par.
under the same wise and economical
administration. Besides the current
expenditures Of the State, and bonds
to mature, larger appropriations
for educational purposes than prior
to 1876 have been made, which places
/ the educational facilities Of the State
/ upon q higher plane, and more solid
basis than heretofore. And again
appropriations have been made and
paid for the various charitable and
humane institutions Of the State
amounting to large sums Aud with
al the vast and necessary expeudi-
lures Of the State warrants, now re-
main at par No debts laying over
TO be funded
We now ask the voters of this
county where is the necessity for
going into the ranks Of any other
| parties combined to better the con
dltion ofthe State. II the Conseiva.
tive Democratic party is not exactly
what you want it IN al and every es-
sential particular stay in and
help 30 reclily, in place Of leaving
and trying to tear il assuBder. You
win in leaving only act as a church
man would in quitting his church
forsooth some Of his brethren were
violating the rules of the church
Would 1t not be better for the church
member to hold fast bis privilege and
try o reform bis erring brethren, FOR
certain Il is in leaving le looses an
power to reform and build Up his
church.
And what would be thought Of ans
one as passenger on lno ocean
steamer, out far from land during a
heavy gale forsskng Che steamer and
taking q yawl for safety, would he
not be pronounced q mailman Now
sc claim that our party is The only
craft that can safely make the great
political shore Of relfenchmcnt, fo-
form and good government

good man Irrespective Of color o.
