Chalmers is making raid on her. He
has made demand on the secretary of
the treasury for Mary McBride's removal.
He makes the demand by his right as con-
gressman-elect from the Second Missis- |
sippi district. AS Chalmers demands for |
removal haven't heretofore attracted much |
attention, there is sore curiosity to know |

this case. Miss Mcbride was holding pol

his red shirt shotgun clubs were,
according to Republican stories, in cam
paign times resorting to murder and arson.

to prevent the colored Republicans from

banked on southern outrages would look
well discharging Miss Mcbride at the be-
hest of Chalmers.
