srR:-It is very amusing to read the
Regitey's weak defense OF MacCorkle's
mixed school speeches t throughout the
inlerior Of the State. Now .hc Demo
I cratic nominee for governor o ring
in the mixed school bogyman IN every
! speech he makes, but when he gets a
torpid liver and he happens 10 be IN
the interior he lets it 60. He said 1t ut
Huntington in n speech there. IL was
merely an accident though, and he
kicked himself for his blunder.
You see the colonel" was Just sailing
along with his eloquence-had 100
pounds Of steam and q light train-and
all Mt once hc struck tho mixed schooi
bogyman and no immediately put on
the air, but the air wouldn't work. The
reader will plainly see that before he
could stop lie had tho whole mixed
school part Of his speech spread out be-
fore his audience. Ever since then he
watches his air brake, and always APP
plies the air in timc to save the bogy-
man and himself.
Now. l happened to be at a place in
this county where the Democrats had n
big rally. 1t was at Hendricks. He
used the whole OF his interior speech
here and here is very near his exact
language about mixed schools and some
other things also that Republicans
should know:
"Rut we don't want our children to
sit in school with the negro children.
| We don't want Il mixed school. The
white mar should rule because we are
better than the negro. In the last
legislature there vas a bill for a reform
school. The black and white children
should be kept as far apart rs possible.
This bill put tho negro girl and the
white boy together. The Republicans
had the bill reconaidered, and q Repub-
lican declared that they should sit to-
gether. The Democrats saved the peo-
pie. it was distinctly . mixed school
bill. Thomas Elmer Davis voted for
the little white darlings to sit in school
with the negro. The Republicans,
WHEREVER they have the laws and make
the lawS, in all the states have the
mixed schools. The Republicans have
~colonized the state, and down in the
southern part Of this state negroes are
taking the places OF white miners and
working for less wages. This place has
become known as the black belt"
All OF the above was shot oH-dis-
iointed as it is-at one load, not even a
drink OF water or q test OF the air. Well,
it is pretty good, and let's have some
more:
81 am not building up 10 per cent
banks, but manufactures. Where once
/ 500 A. nnnnV ~ Nt,n NpnlE tu TnHF
heard the puff OF the iron horse. am
Il lawyer by profession and the people
should know this"
every MacCorkle, by name, was in
the southern army-fatEer lies buried
OIL the Missouri plains. Hit White be-
cause he said JEFF Davis should be bur
led in a potter field"
81 whipped the judge because he was
taking advantage Of a poor man."
"Reber insulted me in his paper and
/ Just gave him a thrashing."
The people OF Tucker county had
heard OF MacCorkle being a slugger,
but it was sweeter, manlier and more
on the Sullivan style to hear it from his
own mouth.
This section is noted for being q 10
boring community, lumbermen, miners
and carpenters being dominant. The
colonel here tried his air and after
putting on the injector proceeded to
euIogize the miner, his vile, his chill
dren and pat the yellow dog on the
back. His eloquence ran h~igh-very
| highway up out OF sight. And it
was done SO easy-it just seemed to
come out in square chunks. The chunk
that struck me-:
"The coal operators have a plan Of
getting the slack coal and the small nut
coal before 1t is weighed. Let US see
how Davis voted and done. The bill
was brought before the legislature and
an amendment offered. Davis voted
for the amendment, and that killed the
bill. Is that the man to be trusted?
Davis voted for taking the rights and
liberties from the miners. Then the
mechanic lien bill was for the poor a
Davis didn't vote for the bill, but ii !
had been there / would. Davis slipped
out in the cloak room, and said he
didn't want to vote for or against the
bill. A bill was introduced about the
railroad commissioner see if the peo-
Piles rights were respected. Davis
voted against its consideration-again
it even being brought before the body"
81 am not and never have been a cor
poration lawyer-have never received a
cent from a corporation"
"Davis believes in protecting monop-
olies and is against the poor man."
"There will be no contest in 1893 for
the governorship. The Democrats will
be successful and continue to reign.
We will not have to call on Bill Kee to
steal the go%vernorship again"
Bill Kee was sitting on the platform
and he knows whether he enjoyed it or
not
This is the frat time I sven heard
MacC orkle and l am not sorry. 1t was
rich fun. The eloquence was superb.
If / hear him again | will let you know.
