convention. He adverted to the great import
ance of the duties of Congressman and the

ton would be prostituted to personal ends. The
time was when that fear would have been
unreasonable. us it so nowl' he asked He
trusted that the convention would choose man
who would be found proof against corruption.
In the old days this district and the whole
State were represented by statesmen of re-
nown. Touching the question Of President
Clevelands appointments, Mr.. Davis said
that the President was man entirely new to
national politics, therefore he could not be ex-
pected to escape occasional mistakes. In regard
to the negro vote Mr.. Davis said that the South
ern Democrats should be congratulated upon
having educated their slaves up to grade of
citizenship so high that the Republicans thought
them fit to exercise the right of civilization.
The charge that the white people of the South
abused their superior strength to Cypress the
blacks he denounced as calumnious. He trust
ed that Missssppians would never stoop SO low
as to take unfair advantage of the ignorant.
