LIoAN office, and congratulated us
upon the stand we took in deuouucing
the means by which Cleveland secured
his election to the Presidency-that Is
by fraud and violence in the Southern
States. particularly in the States OF
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama.
Mississippi and Louisiana. He spoke
not from theory but from personal ex-
perience, having resided eight years In
the Shoe string Congressional district
Of Mississippi, a district that contained
ri, 900 Republican majority, and yet by
rebel shotgun methods was made to
send, not elect, a Democrat to Congress.
He said We would have been nearer
correct II we had used the words Win
chester rifles instead of shot-guns.' The
usual mode a. the time draws on for
hol iiag an election, is tor the Demo-
Gratis to commence the organization OF
military companies which the State
furnishes with Winchester rifles. The
,oIored people and the Republicau
whites know perfectly we'll what tina,
all means, and they instinctively look
towards the wooded swamps to be used
