A MISSISSIPPIAN AFTER PIE.

Gen. Reuben E. Davis, of Aber-
deem, has been to indianapolis to
call on Gen. Harrison. He says
he is a cousin to Mr.. Jefferson
DAVIS. He called at Gen. Harri,
sons house when several other
persons we're present, renamed
bnt a few minutes and took the
next train out OF town lie SAID:
"I'd like dreadfully to stop and
talk to you" he said to newspa-
per man. ''I've got lots of things
I'd like to tell you about Missls-
sippi and Mississippi men and

ate, and while there had differences
with his cousin jeff over matters
of policy that led to strained rela-
tons between them.
He lett the Democratic party in
1878, and denounced the methods
IN vogue IN his State 10 suppress
the rights of suffrage--melhods
which he declared were bound TO
end in the ruin of the party. Since
then he has been a fighter for the
Republicans though living in a Sec
ton where the feeling is very Bit
ter against hat party. In 1884 he
was a candidate for elector al
large on the Republican ticket.
Probably there is a good deal of
truth in his statement that he
came here TO let Harrison see that
he was physically fit for cabinet
timber in case the South is to have
a place.

REPUBLICANS ELECTION FRAUDS.

1t seems that Mr.. Dudley's ad
vice to The Indianua bribers wa.
either well needed or not needed
and that Chairman Quay Nigh
much more easily place his reward
for election frauds IN Indiana
and Connecticut than In The
South.
The Springfield (Mass,) Rep"d.
licdn one of the most conservative
and generally fairminded journals
in the country, and a warm sup
porter OF Mr.. Cleveland in the last
campaign, charges that the Repub-
Leans made large use of corrup-
ton funds TO gam their victory.
Says The Republican:
What was il for that 100000
was wanted from Springfield and
Holyoke TO 20 out of The State!
We pause for a peply. Well, gen.
tlemen if you will not tell us, per-
haps some of you will think over
the question. Tomorrow, for in
stance, if in church your thoughts
roam to worldly themes, ask your
selves what did that money Of
yours buy? Was it votes?
''To my personal knowledge"
said a prominent Republican, Ito
my own knowledge-and l don't
know nearly the whOle-there was
$500, 1000 sent from Massachusetts,
to Connecticut and Indiana" In
short, there was systematic, whole
sale purchase of votes throughout
the doubtful States. What caus-
ed this sudden, vast ext enSion OF
bribery, compared with previous
elections? 1t was that the issue at
stake directly touched the pocket
OF gigantic financial interests. And
those interests were in line with
the new tariff policy of the Repub-
lican party. The practical mana
gers of that party-Quay and bud
lev and their fellows-are men TO
whom money is the natural and
efficient means of turning doubtful
voters. And they easily got all
the money they needed. The ex-
cellent General Harrison was a
captain no doubt, a host of excel
lent citizens we're in the crew, The
old flag foated overhead, but the
corruptI0nists and bribers steered
The ship and collected The fares.
We of The slandered South and
the worse slandered State of Mis-.
sissippi, have a peculiar relish for
such morsels, though we have
for serious apprehension in
having for a time fallen into the
i'll gotten power of such a party,
and that party antagonistic SO our
dearest rights.
