Gen. 7. @. Catchings, our pres
ent member of Congress, arrived
here on Tuesday to speak as ad-
veItised on Wednesday. The news
bad gone forth, and on Wednesday
morning numbers of the repre-
sentative Democrats of the county
were to be seen pouring into
town from every direction. Not.
withstanding the very threaten
ing weather, every beat in the
county was represented, and some
of them very largely. The meet
ing was held in the beautiful grove
in front Of the residence of j. l.
Stewart. About l o'clock the
speaker was introduced in a few
well chosen and timely remarks
by j. Y. Walton, Chairman of the
Executive Committee. General
Uatchings addressed the crowd
for about an hour. He explained
his votes on different subjects oI
interest to the people and ex
pressed his opinions on the politi
cal outlook. Everything indicates
that Gen. Catchings will receive
both tho white and colored vote;
OF this county, and have by far {
larger majority than before In

The Congressional Election.
lCommcrcial Herald.l

The Congressional elections oc
cur just two weeks from 10 day.
There is ample time to do all the
work necessary for the Democrat
ic party TO carry every District in
the State, but there is none too
much time. The Democratic par.
~ must so TO work aud get out
every Democrat TO vote, and in.
duce more than half the colored
voters to cast their ballots for the
Democratic nominees. That can
be done in this District, where
the interests of the two races are
identical, aud where the white Re.
pnblicans, IN two campaigns, have
drawn the color line within their
own party. Two years ago Mr.
Pearce was fairly nominated by
one Of the largest Republican con
ventions that ever assembled in
the District; the color line was
drawn on him by white Republi
cans, and he was defeated. This
year the Republican party nomi
mated Judge SimralI, a man who
never did any party work since
the war, man who never made 0
speech for Pearce, and who did
nothing positive to secure the
election of the nominee OF the par
ty to which he claims to belong
In the face OF these inconsisten
ces, aud this injustice to coloret
Republicans, they are coolly invlt
ed and absolutely expected to gt
to the polls and elect Simrall. l
the Democratic party does III
duty and uses the least tact, Gen
Catchiugs will get more than hal
of the colored votes cast. 1t II
wholly unreasonable to expect thu
colored voters to support Judg,
Simrall under the circumstances.
1t is equally as unreasonable t,
eay that the colored people ha,
no man capable and worthy of tb'

The truth is, the white Republi
cans of the District have takel
the position, that ii the colore,

won race after race, kings plates,
city cups aud purses, and bets of
all kinds for his owner. Nor was
there anything uncertain about
his victories. He cut down the
field at once, and shot in like a

He won for O'Kelly a wagon
load of gold cups, silverplates and
purses of guineas. He ran against
the best horses that could be pro.
duced, and he distanced them all.
There was no struggle. no effort,
no neck aud neck contest. He

THE REPUBLICAN WHIP.
tIberville South

''~
There is not much of the spilii
of evolution in Southern Republic
canism. The same old slippery
methods are in vogue within the
inner rings Of the party as those
which were in existence in the
palmy days of its power.
In those times the white Repub
lican leaders had a double task
an onerous duty to perform. They
had to plan to beat their Demo
cratic adversaries at the polls, by
false registration, stuffed ballot
boxes, and forged election returns
and they had to work like beaver;
to beat their colored friends ant
allies down in the party. No ne
gro Office seeker lifted his voice
TO assert the claim OF his race tC

the brains, and the bullying, ant
the bul!doiziug of the coterie o
white chiefs were not at once al
combined to knock the life ont o
his presumptuous pretensions. Il
made no difference that the Offices
were given directly by the coloret
voters: the white adventurer'
were there to get them: and ge
them they did by false threats, de
lusive cajolery aud deceittul tricks
The shrewd and scientific abilit,
by which a small ring of white
leaders managed to monopolize al
the Important Offices conferred b,
an army of sixty or seventy thons
and colored voters is one of thu
wonders of our modern age.
