friends, and that he himself processes 10
be If he is, how can he accept the
Presidency by fraudulent vote, and
by direct Intimidation and assassiDa-
ton of his opponents At the polls What
ever may be said of Mr.. Cleveland, he
L. not so obtuse in intellectual capacity
as not I'd know that If an honest election
had been held in number OF Southern
States, he would never have been elect

opponents in Louisiana, that he re-

State II he does not know this he
has not read to a good purpose. Mr..
Cleveland cannot help but know that
Louisiana, with full, free and un-
trammeled vote, should have given at
least 10 900 majority for James G.
Blaine As he only had Is majority on
the electoral vote, take away Louisians's
Svotes and he would only have had 10
majority.
But we are not through with Mr..
Cleveland yet Mississippi adjoins
Louisiana The majority of colured
people in the State is about 10000.
When there were free elect ons held and
full vote cast, Mississippi gave as
high as 10000 Republican majority.
Since political murders have run rife
over the State, aud Republicans, white
and black, have been mercilessly shot
down in kemper in Naz0o, in Copiah
and other counties since, on election
