rubicans. The speech was made IN fcpS u ua'
Of Senator Wilson, Of Iowa. on the JACKSON Mss
outrage, but Ue speaker devoted lttlo time 10 the
local matter IN question. He covered the ehure
field OF Southern politics in so far a. they hhse upon
the race question and far appearances ana the
warm congratulations Of his fellow Democrats may
serve as an indication. his sentiments are those OF
his entire party this time.

The speaker hoped he might not live to SEQ the day
when such a thing should befall the people among
whom his whole life had been spent This Is a vide
