wicklife's Warning words.

The speech of Ext R. C. Wick.
life in his acceptance of the nomina-
tion for lieutenant governor had the
ring of true metal, sounding down the
vanished years to q new generation.
This venerable democrat comes to the
front in his old age, as matter of pa
triotic duty, to save bis party from as
sasslnation by traitors, he accepted the
gage thrown down by the New Delta
that the war in the campaign will be
to the knife, and the knife to the hilt
He declared that it would be for prin,
clples in which his heart and the hearts
of all democrats ara bound up, aud
which they will never surrender 1t is,
he said, fight for white supremacy in
this State it is for free ballot and a
fair count in this contest-and that ge
aCsll hage. Let the traitorous souls who
aim deadly stab at the life of their
party. bear these stern words of the
noblest democrat of them all, which
will find responsive echo everywhere
throughout the State. Let not the truth
be disguised. We are upon the thres-
hold of a campaign that must be deci-
ded by free ballot and fair count.
If there is any departure from the in
herent right Of free man and demo.
Gratis, Mr.. Murphy Foster and his band
of boiling traitors will need more vim
chesters and shot guns than he has ever
yet threatened in the fury of his intol-
erance. The cue to this resolve has
been solemnly given by the grandest
old man of his party in the State, and
there will be younger hands and hearts
as valiant as his own to uphold the
right.-B. r. Advocate.
