p raced the administration Of their

ments Of the State government All
fair minded men must admit that the
administration Of public affairs by
the Democratic Conservative party
presents on extraordinary contrast
70 TIE ignorance, rapaeity and cor
FlplioH that were the prominent
characteristics 81 official conduct
under Republican rule ia this State,
i is undoniahlf true that the
Democratic Conservative party has
given 20 the State q liberal, just and
honest government. The burdens Of
taxation have been greatly liahtened,
the expenses Of administering gov
ornment hsve been decreased, and an
intelligent and just system ofecono-
my has been introduced in the adj
ministration OF public aifairs-State,
county and municipal The laws
have been faithfully aud impartially
administered and in place of The
former condition Of general unrest
and discomfort, the people of Missis
sippi have bad, under Democratic
auspices, tranquility snd repose.
The lines Of political thought are
broadening, and q progressive and
| liberal spirit seeks to create aud de-
velop Oh the conditions at home, aud
in our relations with the nation at
large, that are essential to tho attrae
tion Of immigration and capital, and
to the general progress and prosper
lty Of the State.
We cannot doubt that these pur-
poses can be best promoted under
the auspices Of the party that has
already given to the State just and
honest government. The public
welfare, in no point Of view, can
require the administration Of the
State government to be transferred
to the combination Of men who have
placed themselves in opposition to
The Democratic party
Gen. Lowry, the nominee for
Governor, and The other candidates
on the Democratic Conservative State
ticket, are the representatives Of the
policy and principles of the party /;
and lheY will place their candidacy
and canvass solely aud exclusively
on tie issues batween their party
and its political adyersaries. The
whole ticket deserves and should
command the hearty approval and
undivided support of the entire party.
For the first time In five years IN
Mississippi, the Democratic party
finds itself confronted with an or
ganized opposition, whose guberna-
tofial nominee declares himself nei-
ther Greenbaeker OF Republican, but
who, nevertheless, received his nom
nation from Convention that called
itself Greenback, and the next day
accepted 4 nomination or endorse
menI from another Convention that
9germed itself Republican.
The people Of this State, who
know something Of Radical rule, can
never be deluded BY any tricks Of
names
It Is well understood il is tue Re
publican party that has taken the
/ field under. the thin disguise of
Greenbaekism and that the so called
1 Greenbaokers have eonfederated with
! the Republicans for the common
purpose Of defeating the Democratic
party In this novel arrangement,
be Republican party is to furnish
the votes It IS clear that this alll-
aaee, # successful, means for Mis-
assippi, the ultimate II not the
immediate re establishment of the
Republican party Ia place and
power. il Is veil that The people
should know that ghs defeat Of the
Democratic party meaus the loss OF
all chat was accomplished q lSl9l
And It is well that this warming
should be sounded from The watch
tower.
This opposition party attempts TO
| tender the issue ofan honest election,
when it is well known that the
intimation that Democratic party
/ is opposed to an honest ballot and a
/ fair count, is unlounded IN fact, and
we now denounce, and declare nn-
true. any charge or intimation that
lhe Democratic party favors, directly
or. indirectly, any illegalllies OF
unfaifness in elections.
Nobody can he deceived IS this
kind Of tactics, nor diverted from The
real issue whether the state gov
eminent is to be placed in the keep
+ ing of The Republican party.
It Is the party that once aeoufgee
| this people with al the evils Of I
vicious and corrupt government that
BY its organized opposition g Tbs
Democratic party has again placed
itself on trial.
Aud this issue, the Democratic
Conservative party, submits fearless
IL and confidently, to the yiftnous
theintelIlaentand Law abiding people
Of this State, on a 0free ballot and
/ fair count
