means to damage him, and that is why
Chalmers is making raid on hen. He
has made demand on the secretary of
the treasury for Mary McBrideas removal.
He makes the demand by his right as con-
gressman-elect from the Second Missis-
sippi district. Az Chalmers demands for
removal haven't heretofore attracted much
attention, there is sore curiosity to know
what the effect of the demant will be in
this case. Miss Mcbride was holding pol
itical meetings among the colored people |
of the shoe-string district, and reading |
Republican speeches from newspapers to
them at a time when Chalmers and
his red shirt shotgun clubs were,
according to Republican stories, in cam
paign times resorting to murder and arson.
when Jogging and threats were not enough
to prevent the colored Republicans from
voting. The party that for years has
banked on southern outrages would look
well discharging Miss Mcbride at the be-
hest of Chalmers.
