TIVE STATE Executive COMMITTEE,
JAcKsoN, MIss.i Aug. q, 1881.
The people Of Mississippi, iu 1875,
D aced the administration Of their
State Government in the hands Of
the Democratic Conservative party
That party AZ once replaced the cor
FuptiOn and incompetency that had
marked Republican civil rule for the
preceding Eve years, with honesty,
integrity and ability, 10 all depart.
ments Of the State government. AM
fair minded men must admit that the
administration Of public affairs by
the Democratic Conservative party
presents sn extraordinary contrast
to the ignorance, rapacity and COR
ruptlon that we're the prominent
characteristics Of official conduct |
under Republican rule in this State,
It is undeniably true that the
Democratic Conservative party has
given to the State a liberal, Just and
honest government. The burdens OF
taxation have been greatly lightened,
the expenses OF administering gov
eminent have been decreased, and an
intelligent and just system ofeoono-
my has been introduced In the ad-
minislratiQn Of public afairs-State,
county aud municipal. The laws
have been faithfully aud impartlally
administered and In place Of the
former condition OF general unrest
and discomfort, the people OF Missis-
sipDi have had, under Democratic
auspices, tranquility and Fepose.
The lines ofpolitical thought are
broadening, and . progressive and
liberal spirit seeks to create and de-
Yelop ali the conditions at home, and
in our relations with the nation at
large, that are essential to the attrac
ton OF immigration and capital. and
to the general progress and prosper
lty Of the State.
We cannot doubt that these pur-
pOsps 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 10 Pelat Of view, can
require the administration Of the
State government to be transferred
to the combination Of men who have
e placed themselves IN opposition tC
the Democratic party.

Governor, and the other candidates
