BT0OKDALE's PROMISES TO PERRY
COUNTY VOTERS.

S Col. 1hos. r. Slockdale, Il
, present Representative from th
| district in Congress, does not thin
+ as much of his constituents as dl
, Judge Van Eaton when he so adj
, represented The district in Coz
gress Two terms yrorto Stockdale
incumbency, as The sequel wi
, show. When Stockdale was cat
wasting Perry county during hi
last canvass he said, III speakln
OF Judge Van Eaton, thai he kneN
very little about him, anyway, bu
there was one thing the Judge did
and that vas to send gardel
seeds TO his constituents. Thu
was all the good he could sa,
about him, But, Stockdale salt

plenty of garden seeds, but vii

the material interests of the PEG.
pie of Perry Will be attended tC
and watched after by me.
Now, what has he done for Per.
ry county beyond sending a few
packages of garden seeds and
some old, uninteresting documents
10 a few friends, and has, perhaps,
replied to some letters from 9th.
ers. 1t is true he did get a bill
through the House establishing a
land office at Hattiesburg, intend
ed, doubtless, for some particular
worker of his in the last canvass ;
but the bill hangs fire in the Sen
ale, and III all probability will
never pass that body, as it seems
there is no necessity for 1t. This
is the sum and substance of Stock
dale's work for the people Of Per
ry county.
Now, has Stackdale kept his
pledges he made in the CANVASS ?
Wetlink not, except in trying to
diSplace some Of the appoIntees of
Van Eaton. Congress was
the goal of Stockdale's ambition,
and to reach it he made promises
anG LETT, never caring wheth-
er he fulfilled them, but once Sc
in his seat he would take
his rest. Like the man the Bible
about, who, after gathering
his crop into the barns he said
unto his soul take thy rest, but
God said unto him {: Thou fool, this
night shall thy soul be required OF
Ihee!" And this will be the YER
dict of the people in regard to the
ColOnel'S seat when his term ex-
pires.
Judge Van Eaton was always
prompt in answering every letter
rom his constituency in any part
If the district. lie was, indeed, a
hard worker, and did more to fur
her the interests of the wh0le dis
riot than any Of his predecessors.
Even his enemies admit this much.
The llatteSburg Democrat utters
he truth when it says:
"lIow many men there are in
he Democratic party to-day That
nave been traitors to The party?

Hewitt Of New York, traded
IF Cleveland for their own selfish
political prefcrment.
The emphatic majority in con-
OF the traitors in their
party shows hat the Republicans
If New York are thoroughly
aroused on the subject, and the ex-
ample set by them is one that
should not be forgotten by the
party, when the oc-
demands it.
Traitors in the ranks is what has
defeated the Democratic party, and
will defeat any party that will con-
inue such men in the fold"
