APPEAL OF MISSISSIPPI REPUBLICANS
THE ONLY ARGUMENT OF THE DEMOCRACY IS
THE SHOTGUN-w THE TICKET.

THE ONLY ARGUMENT OF THE DEMOCRACY IS
THE HoTGUN-wITHDRAwING THE TICKET.
Jackson, Miss. oct. 10 (specaD.-There is now no
opposition to the Democratic state ticket the Repul-
ncan Executive Committee in session to-day having
decided 10 withdraw from the This action was
prompted by the withdrawal OF General Chalmers
candidate for Governor, and Mr. Frazee candidate
for Attorney. The following resolutions explain fully
the reason OF this action by the Republican leaders
AS Republicans Of Mississippi, we are compelled
to Withdraw our State ticket. We knew that our
votes would be stolen and our voters driven from
the polls, but we hoped that IN the larger towns and
cltes at least the semblance Of free speech might
still remain to US; but candidates arc not safely
allowed to discuss protest. We desire especially
to go before the whole people of the State and 10
challenge the Democracy to a comparison of princ-
pies and records Our course has always been CON
servatiye. When the armed outon of S75 w O. ed
the State from us, Mississippi the only Southern
State unburdened with state debt. She has Demo
cratic one today.
"The Constitution of the United States guarantees
to each State Republican form of government
Mississippi IS governed by a minority despotism and
we appeal to country for redress. The Con-
stItution that adopted is the only one in the South
satisfactory that it has not been changed. Our
laws stand substantially unchanged and unrepealed,
but are Republicans and this Is offence.
"That We not actuatod by cowardice in with
drawing from the contest Is shown by our past For
fourteen years, since the Infamous Mississippi
plan adopted. path has been marked by
tie blood Of our slain, not only the well-bnown
leaders who bravely died at the head Of the column;
but the faithful followers known only In the cabins
Of the lowly. We refer not only 10 such well known
Saughters as Kemper aud COpah, Clinton and Carroll
ton, Wahallak and Vickburg, YazOo City and LetOre,
but TO the nameless killing by creek and bayou,
highway and bywsy. These are the Democratic argu-
ments which crush us. We do more, we dare
longer carry tatterod and blood stained Re
public an nag. We appeal TO the Nation.
Is National law and honor but a dellrson and
snare? Whom rely upon the gurantees of the
National Constitution, do we but lean upon a broken
reed II so, announce the policy boldly and acquit
US of further effort"
