INT dor, You forget that we are not going to see
this Government 90 into the hands of anybody
who promises you half of the offices.
In the Chalmers District, in Mississippi,
that independent Democrat is demanding
that negro voters be given political freedom
at the ballot-box. Into that district comes
Governor Lowry to work Chalmers de-
feat, and shouts from the stump
The white people-they are the master race of
the world Be true to your instincts. Be true
to your race. When you get up on the 18th of
/ November, remember that you have duty 10
perform to yourself, 10 your sons and daughters.
Stand by the memory of the dead as well as by
the interests of the living. Say by your votes
that II this country is worth living in it is worth
controlling.
Between these lines is 10 be read the de-
cree of political death to a people the Con-
stitution of the nation has enfranchsed.
On the heels Of Lowry comes Senator
Lamar, and he declares
The most priceless interests of the white pco-
pie of this district are at stake The great ques
ton before the people of this district is very
much the same that it has been for the last ten
wears 1t is the one topic you Know SO well you
have become familiar with II. 1t can all be
summed up in one sentence. Ny convictions
my sentiments which have SO often stated to
the people of this district, eau be put in this one
| short sentence We the white people of Mis-
sissipPi, ought to stand together firmly to the
end.
And a wild, wierd shrek went up and
shook the air as the Senator thundered the
last words in a white heat of partisan rage.
lie continued:
Fellow-citizens brethren of the same race,
ought not to separate in the presence Of the ca
la1nity that always stands before Mississippi
And again the wild, wierd shrek went
forth:
w-cftizens, upon the question of manu-
| features and the tariff we may differ but there
| Is one question before us. ny the side of which
all others sink into insigntcance. When 1ne..

if the points upon which they agree are more
important than those upon which they differ
ought they to divide upon the points on which
they differ, or ought they to unite on the points
on which lhey agree? Where you have di-
vision with distinctions as To color ard still
more vital differences of morals and society
the change from minority to majority is not
change of parties; it is IL revolution. II is Il
domination of one race by another | am Led
to say this, not to stir up luminosity, but 10 tell
you there is an intention to put that class above
the whites of this country which can not be
ayerted. save by a union among ourselves.
And in this strain the great statesman
of Mississippi breaches to the people of
the South of the aims and purposes of the
people of the North
Senator Lamar next read from the
speeches Of Calhoun and Barnwell Rhett,
in which they predicted the trouble which
would come upon the South when the
North undertook to interfere with the
negro. and declared that those predictions
were still! coming true. Whatever may
be undertaken" the Senator continued,
may he averted by the union, firmness
and courage of the white people
These are but mere bits of the political
pabulun given the people of the South by
a Democracy that raises its hands in holy
horror and roars bloody shirt at the
teeblest demand for free ballot, fair
count and no color line, as necessary to the
preservation of that harmony out of which
alone prosperity can have growth.
Indeed II is true, and we repeat it, the
Democratic is the only sectional party.
