SENATOR wALTHALL's GREAT
SPEECH,

Our State Senator, Hon. Il. &.
Walthall, spoke for two hours to
the Senate on the 9th inst. on The
subject Of the Jackson election IN
vestigation and the southern race
question in general. His object
was, of course, TO invite the alien
ton of voters ofthe country 10
the self evident hypocracy OF the
Republican statesmen IN inaugural
ting such farcical proceedings as
those frultless southern invesllga-
tons always are. 1t was pro-
nounced a mastery effort. The
Democratic Senators crowded
around at the conclusion and
warmly congratulated HIM, as did
also many Republicans, among
whom was even Senator ingalls,.
The speech was SAID to have
been the abIest treatment of the
race problem ever presented, VIM
dicating the people of Mississippi
from the charges of bloody shirt
Republican politicians.
The Republicans i'll Congress
have been playing at this same
game of preparing their campaign
bloody-shirt serenade in the halls
Of Congress at the nations eX-
pense for some years, but they
hardly expected such a warm re
ception in hauling up this little
jackson affair, especially from our
new southern Senator. Their per-
fidlous designs have long since
been exposed and held up for the
worlds derislon and the peoples
contempt, but this being a desper-
ate campaign for them they ven
tured a repetition of the old trick
once too many.
Senator Wallhall propounded
the pertinent questions: What can
Congress do in this matter? What
do you propose? What do you
want Congress to do in this mat.
ter? Then comes the eloquent,
earnest, frank, honest, aud brave
answer that Congress is not eX-
pected to and cannot do anything,
but that the only object consistent
with reason is the preparation by
the Republicans of matter meet
tor The use OF bloody shirt ranters,
and that at the expense OF the
government.
Mississippi has always furnished
a champion at the Federal Capitol
and we rejoice to find by this bit OF
experience that we still have one
Of our best at that post Of duty.

President Cleyeland's letter OF

document Of its kind, and is well
marked with the peculiar charac-

is no lodging or timid hesithncy
about it, and yet contains nothing
for which The party will have oc-
casion to apologize. He has The
happy faculty Of saying what he

standard bearer of the party, on

this he has doubtless disappointed
The Republican leaders, who have

tons on the subject, owing to The
delay of the letter. The document
itself, however, gives reinsurance
that Grover Cleveland is a sink-or-
swim Democrat, placing implicit
trust in the everlasting strength OF
his political oars. So he may!

the letter:
