witness the recent forging OF the force
bill chains"
The actions OF the Republicans in the
last congress next received his atten-
ton. "When the-Republicans had con-
troll of both branches of congress a
the executive department" said h
''did they better the condition of the
country Did they repeal one OF the
unconstitutional laws for which they
have been pleading the false excuse of
war; its burdens, its necessities? Let
our worse than war tariff reply; let the
disorders of our currency answer. They
first cheated more power into their own
hands, then doubled its prostitu-
tion. Their speaker OF the house, by
violent unparliamentary procedures dis
tended an actually small, to fraudu-
lently large majority, all of whom fol-
lowed MIN with dog-like docility.
[Laughter.] In the senate six new Re-
publican senators were seated to repre-
sent smaller population than the
Republican census left uncounted in the
city of New York, and one state was de-
frauded OF it's Democratic choice. Their
object was not only to enact more and
worse unconstitutional legislation, but
also to put that legislation beyond the
peoples amendment or repeal"
After violent attack on the McKin-
ley law, he charged that Sherman's sill
yer law is draining off our gold to turn
into steady stream and drive us head
long into an exclusive silver basis.
Unity in the ranks again received at
tention, Hill urging the members of tire
party to stand firm by the faiths and
traditions of the party, saying: Unity
will enable the party to force relief from
unjust tariff; unity will enable it call a
halt in the growth and speed of grind
ing monopolies; will enable it to restore
sound, safe and sufficient money OF ou.
fathers, when every dollar was just
good as a gold dollar. Loud
cheers.l To separate and split
now is madness. Once more to the
| breach. The peoples victory requires
but union. Division is defeat. Division,
even in Mississippi, is nothing else but
vote to prolong Republican domina-
ton, and renew that party's life. The
defeat Of the Republican party next
November means its death. 1t will dis
integrate, dissolve and perish. The
reign OF autocrats and plutocrats will be
over and gone. The conspiracy OF the
Republican revolutionists of the billion
dollar congress to wreck this great ex-
pertinent OF democratic Justice and lib.
erty will be crushed. We shall awake
from this long darkness and its foul
dreams to sunrise, morning and new
life.'
Cheer after cheer resGunded through
the capitol at the conclusion of the
speech, and Hon. r. H. Henry, editor
of the Jackson State Ledger, immedi.
ately presented resolutions of thanks for
his presence in the city and his earnest
appeal for unity.
1t is true the legislature was in ses.
eion and Mr.. Henry vas not member
OF either branch, but in the wild en-
thusiasm that followed the reading of
the resolutions this little parliamentary
discrepancy was forgotten. One wild,
affirmative yell greeted the resolutions,
and they were declared adopted without
| the fofmality of calling Tor negative
votes.
General Hooker was called for and
made a short speech.
Senator Hill and party returned to
the executive mansion. Late. in the
afternoon large crowd assembled in
front of the mansion and Hill was in.
troduced by Governor Stone and again
made a short speech. He reviewed the
principles of the Democracy about as in
his former speeches. and once more
counselled the party to unity. His re.
marks were received with enthusiasm
and at the conclusion brief reception
was held at the mansion.
