Monday last, under the new law, at

The Presidents latest fad for a runnine-mate

Senator Pugh, of Alabama. probably speaks
with authority in the declaration that he knows
the President is anxious to have Voorhees, make
the race with him. Such canvass on the part
of Voorhees, might soften the asperites some
what rampant in the States, because it would
permit Governor Gray to step into the United

But to run Voorhees, on a ticket with Cleve-
land with the latter's free trade message a
platform would compel the good-natured Daniel
to make rather a somersault Voorhees, is not
a free trader. and he is making an heroic
endeavor to show that the President is not.

FURTHER information concerning the recent
election in jackson, Miss, shows that the
Democratic victory there was gained by strict
~ Democratic methods. jackson has con-
siderable number of white Republicans, and
something over 300 black ones. For several
years past a Republican Mayor has been
elected. This year the Democrats determined
to elect Mayor, and as they could not do it
by fair means they adopted foul. After or
ganizing white Mems League" and nomi-
mating candidate, they issued the following
circular, printed in red ink:
1--WE hereby warn the negroes that if any
one OF their race attempts to run for office at
the approaching municipal election, he does so
at his supremest peril; and we further warn
any and all negroes of this city against
attempting by vote or influence to foist on
us again this black and damnable machine
miscalled a government of our city,"
Following the distribution of this circular
the Republican candidate proposed to the
Democrats to have the white men decide the
election with their ballots, pledging that no
negro should vote, and that no negro would
be appointed on the police force or run for
Office. This was declined. The Campaign"
proceeded. and by election day the negroes
were so thoroughly intimidated that not one
voted, and the Democratic candidate was
elected, it that be called an election.
This occurred in Mr.. Lamars State, and
many other things as bad or worse have
occurred there until ''the Mississippi plan"
has become synonym for every species of
political crime. Yet Mr.. Lamar has never
raised finger to prevent or uttered word in
condemnation of such acts. The judicial
