STAND BY The Party.

Ctdtc w cupPVtt tho f"f'S
aud use all their
power and influence to maintain
It. 1t was formed for the pur'
pose of carrying into effect Ger.
tain great principles which are
deemed essential to the preser-
vation of free institutions in this
country. Those principles can
no. be sustained aud enforced
unless those who favor them
will act and work together
The voters who endorse and
approve f the principles OF tue
Democratic party should cordi-
ally support the nominees be-
cause they represent its doc
trines and will to the extent of
their ability carry them into ef-
feet. To vote against them Is
to strike blow at the party and
| impair It's usefulness. Unless
they sustain the organization
they must expect to see its prin.
ciples perish.
The party is making a strng-
gle in Mississippito maintain itS
supremacy and to preserve the
BLESSINGS OF a good government
for her people and it calls upon
all of its friends to rally around
Its time. honored banner. 1t
points proudly to its past record
and invites the people to give il
their endorsement at the No
vembcr election. 1t has given
the citizens an honest and eco
nomical government. Before it
come into power extravagance
and corruption was the order Of
the day. Those who held the
reins in those sad days we're
only intent upon onriching them
selves at the expense Of an i'm
poverished and well nigh ruined
people. The pnblic plmderers
havo been ~oustcd from their
snug places and good and true
men have been placed at the
helm.
The burdens of the masses
have been diminished and their
condition improved. Th cir
rights Of person and property
arc better protected than in the
days Of reconstruction. Law
lcssness and violence have de-
creased and the laws are better
and more impartially enforccd.
Our judiciary is an improve
menL over inaU v. s..~ -, -.
can regime and the same can be
said Of every department of our
State government.
In tho face OF its splendid
record the attempt to impair
the confidence of the people in
lit must and will be a failure. 1t
has shown that it is worthy to
be trusted with the reins of
power and if We are not mistak-
en- in the temper Of the voters
they will give it new lease of
power The signs of the times
|all point Enthusiastically to o Dem
ocratic victory and disastrous
rout Of the opposition. The at
tempt to divide and conquer the
party will not succeed.
That able tactician, Gen. Chal-
mers, is engaged in a hopeless
undertaking when he attempts
| to overthrow the Democracy.
His expectation of rallying to
the support of his Independent
party tho solid Greenback and
negro vote will not be realized.
The Greenbaokers fully realize
that his party is not the Green
back organization and somo Of
them will firmly hold aloof from
lit. If they will all come into
the Democratic camp they will
fnd themselves more at home
thar with the Independents.
i The greatest and main reli
ance however of the opposition
is Of necessity upon the negro
vote for they we'll know that
the great mass OF white voters
are deeply attached to the
Democratic party and its prin
ciplcs and will steadily maintain
their fidelity and allegiance te
lit. The colored voters are moi
manifesting a deep interest il
the present contest and it is by
no means certain that they viii
|poll anything like their full
strength. OF late y ars they
, Ihavs not shown much Of thu
alaerity they exhibited in ths
s|siays Of rcconstructisn in rush
