To the editor Of the Inter Ocean.
, Miss, Sept 19--Beng intimate
ly acquainted with YOU and having
known you Torso long, thou Ct ] would
write you concerning our fine political
prospects
In the tirstpace we are going to elect
Cleveland president, and woi we have
Jolly time. There is no doubt about
this. We elected Sam1 J. Tdden prcsi-
identin 1876, and the COW ardly old hyp-
ocrite iNst held back and said hands OFT
and allowed the enemy to put up a Job
on Us. by which we were defrauded and
swindleC out Of that which was Justly
ours. Such fraud will never berepcat-
ed, marx he predictions Eight long
2
can hold it no longer. lie Grover Cleye-
land is elected president, three million
as good old rebels. as ever heard the
yell, will march all the way to Wash
ingtJn an. inaugurate him president,
in spite Of all hell
We know what we are talking about
and DONE you forget it, We have never
forgotten the wrong done us in the so
called "ReconstrucCion.' II ever FREQ
men suffered, it was the true and tried
Southerners. The enemy We're not salts
fled with destroying our property, our
homes and taking flOm u our "niggahs'
thereby depriving us Of That which was
Justly oura, but sir they even crushed
us with the
BLOODY IRON HAND or TYRANNY.
All this we have not forgotten, nor will
we 80 long AS we live.
We are liberty loving people. w.
love our freedom and independence, but
we do not know what free and liberal
government is under radical rule. We
were once on the high road TO the grand
est government the world ever saw, tho
opportunity fen such an undertaking
may come again, il so we are ready for
the fray. Our lamp has not gone cut by
any means, neither is il in the power Of
the contes ptibenorth TO smother It out
True they did By superior numbers and
the force Of circumstances Overpower
and crush us for the time being, but we
We're never the whipped rebels they took
us for. The principles for which we
fought live and viii continue TO live on
and on and never die. And the proper
tv which they stole from US ana de-
stroyed viii some shape or other come
back 60 US with interest, Yes, slr, the
time will come and is not far distant
wheu it VIII be no longer a mock
erv and a burlesque for one OF our
Southern braves TO knock al the door
of Congress for aa indemnity for stolen
property, and, sir, it is my humble opin-
/ ion (and | believe I express the earnest
expectation OF my southern comrader)
that II we are successful in electing
Cleveland President, in less than ten
wears our poor, crippled Confederate
soldiers viii b. drawing pensions to
which they are equally as much entitl-
ed
AS THE THIEvING sCoUNDRELs
On thu other side who are draining the
/ public treasury.
The tattooed candidate and his posse
are irving very hard to force us to an
iss.e on the tariff, but they can't do it..
True, we earnestly oppose the thiaying
tariff. but we are not going 10 be silly
though to allow them 10 force us to an
issue on that. Again they would hoist
/ the bloody shirt and flaunr that in our
/ faces. bit some day we viii make
them sick Of the "bloody shirt bust
ness"
They talk about breaking up our solid
south. This they may be able to do
when the "niggahs" vote the radica
ticket. a thing never to be inthis genera
! ton
1 They talk about carrying our dear old
Mississippi, and Virginia for the radical
candidate. This is the cheerest non
sense. which we do not fear in airy
sense.
Malone Of Virginia we will evidently
remove ere another election shall have
passed away. Thank God we have no
Malone ID old Mississippi.
Turn the rascals out. 'Rab, for Cleye-
land and Hendricks and Reform.
MISSISSIPPI DEMOCRAT
