At the head of the Democratic ticket of this State
is the name of n rebel sympathizer. who from the
outbreak of the war TO its close used his news
paper to ridicule the Union cause and to clamor for
concession TO the rebels of all their demands. At
the head Of the Republican ticket is the name of a
Union General, who was battling brayely for his
country while his opponent was calling for its snb-
mission to traitors Which man of the two will the
loyal voter support next Tuesday, IL is not ques-
ton of reviying bygOneS. 10 Is question whether
the rebel sympathHer shall be preferred before the
Union soldier
Remember that it is always patriotic duty to
vote against the Democratic party.
The Mississippi Bourbons are preparing for cleo
ton day in the usual manner, They have begun TO
shoot "uiggers." Ii they shoot a dozen or SO per-
haps they Will be able to scare as many thousands
from the polls
Enthusiastically modest squeak has been heard
from the crushed BookwalteE. The newspaper
which he employed to sustain him during the cam
pagn has published "A touching defence of him and
his methods which is tender enough to have been
written by the great man himself. IF the cam
paign of Mr. Boolwalter," ne writes, twas, rs has
often been remarked, novel and original one and
his methods strictly his own, the result would seem
TO vindicae them beyond dispute" That is an
Original and novel" view to take of Fosters
$4,000 majority Mr. Bookwater continues: 1T
Is said that lac (BoOkwalterl has intention or de-
sire OF continuing in the arena OF politics. but If his
choice were 10 take mp the standard again he has
demons rated his ability to carry with him the
freshest and strongest elements of his party and to
lead them 10 success whepeYer success is possible"
That's handsome and modest, but WOuldn't IL be
just as well for him 10 LEI the standard rest until
Democrat or two request him To take it up again
At present there are no loud clanors for him to
lift IT.
II will be impossible for the Northern Democratic
press and its deputy assistants to call the dastardy
shooting of negroes in Mississippi another bogus
bloody-shrt outrage because the news of il comes
through Democratic sources Were this not the case
the charge would be quickly made that the Northern
Republicans had started their outrage mill again.
The shooting is entirely in accordance with Bourbon
precedent In Mississippi. II has been their custom
there for years TO shoot few ringers just before
election then make o great show OF arms about the
polls on election day, and have reports ndustriousy
circulated among the negroes that If they attempt
to vote they will be shot. The natural effect of this
is to brighten the negroes from the polls, and the
less false counting is necessary when the polls are
closed
There is no reason why the Democratic party
should not be sat upon in an of year as well as in
every other year
As usual the Democrats are carrying this State q
week in advance. The Republicans will get in their
work on election day.
The Democratic State ticket is beautiful enc to
vote against.
Dir. Parmenter seems to DO an unadulterated
Democratic reformer. He gets all he out of the
State, tries 10 get more and all the time shouts re-
FORM Tlden's coparceners. it will be remembered.
