THE OLD ARGUMENT.

Hon. Joseph Brown, Georgia's big
millionaire and superannuated states
man. who held seat for several
years in the u. S. Senate, which he was
seldom in. ambles into the political
arena once more and frantically waves
the Southern "bloody shirt" talias the
raw head and bloody bones of negro
supremacy, to brighten Georgia Prohi-
bitionists and Alliancemcn back into
the Democratic party.
Old Bill Chandler and his school of
Republican statesmen will soon re-
spond by giving the regular cnsan-
guined garment a lurid flourish over
on the other side of the line, and the
fight will he ON, as they suppose. on
their favorite ground.
These old politicians shouting bloody
shirt and negro supremacy are back
numbers. They have lived in office.
fought over dead issues and fattened
on class legislation for 20 years, and
the people are leaving them. The re-
suit of the late election in Louisiana
fatty contradicts the cry of return to
negro supremacy in the South should
the whites divide, and there is not
lacking abundant proof elsewhere.
When a man talks hereafter as Sena-
tor Brown is talking you may set it
down as the result of one of three
things He is either the victim of an
oyer-wrought imagination, a demo-
gogue, or belated traveller on the pO-
litical highway who fell asleep and got
behind the procession.

Editor Mississippi Leader:
Oligarchs have illusions to old sec
tional guarrels in cheap books for our
lenses and use their thunder against
them.
Democracy turned against the peo-
pie when it left the National Bank
plank out Of its platform in 1860.
Eight elections since and gained only
one. With that plank, from President
Jackson to 1855, they gained five of the
seven. Fraternally,

The LEApER Is glad 10 Law before /

The LEADER is glad to lay before its
readers today the very able annual adj
dress of Mrs. L. S. Mount, President of
the Mississippi w. G. I. U. In it are
found the wisdom, philosophy and re-
ligion of a Christian statesman, spoken
in the persuasive accents of a gentle,
refined, earnest woman. Every moth
er's heart and honest mans conviction
will respond amen to what she says
about high license and the gileed dram
shops, and the analogy between the
Lottery and liquor questions. Read

Major Barksdale addressed the Mad
ison county Alliance at their meeting
in Canton last Wednesday. He is re-
ported as condemning certain portions
of the st. Louis Conference platform
and advising Alliance men to stand by
"the grand old party" which, with
14S majority in the House, refuses to
pass silver bill, materially reduce the
tariff, or give the Alliance demands
even a respectful hearing. Will they
do 1T!

II Blaine should be nominated,
wouldn't it everlastingly knock the
wind out of those Democrats who are
trying to brighten people back into
their party by saying that Solid South
is the only salvation against the Force
bill? 1t is well known Blaine opposes
any such measure and would veto it if
passed.

The chaste, thoughtful and elevating
essay read by Mrs. Sudie III. Parker, OF

The Attorney General holds that un-

called to this point. Where ever the
requirement has not been complied
with, take prompt steps to have the Pc

We knew all along it was coming
that is the old thread-bare fiction that
the South must remain solid for the
Democratic party to prevent being
placed under a Force bill, but we
hardly expected to see prominent
Mississippi Allianceman lead off with
that old party bug-a-boo. Major
Barksdale has done it. He takes
that position in an interview with the
jackson correspondent of the Memphis
Commercial.

KEEP OUT

The Democratic primaries will be
held in most counties of Mississippi
next Saturday. to be followed June LIST
by county conventions to elect dele
gates tothe State Convention June Sth.
The LEADER desires to reiterate the
opinion it expressed several weeks ago,
that Alliance men and Prohibitionists
should refrain from all participation
in these Democratic meetings. We say
this because all who go into them with
the lights before them will be bound
in good faith to abide the party action,
what ever that may be- If the Chicago
Convention makes j. B. Anterior, Pres
ident of the National Liquor Dealers
Association, chairman of it's platform
committee and dominates ex-senator
Standard Oil Payne for President and
Jay Gould for Vice President, your
party associates will expect you to
shout for and vote the ticket, and they
will have a right to. Keep out.

Major Barksdale criticises the st.
Louis Conference platform severely
because, as he says, it is silent on the
subject of tariff reform, which he re-
CARDS as all-important. The st. Louis
Conference platform contains this
declarations:
We demand graduated income tax.
We believe that the money of the
country should be kept as much as
possible in the hands of the people,
and hence we demand all national and
State revenue shall be limited to the
necessary eTpeRSes Of the government
economically aud honestly ddminis-
tered.
President Polk of the Alliance CON
tends that the carrying out of this
plank implies and would necssitate q
reduction and REIMBURSEMENT of the
tariff, and the LEADER thinks he clearly
has the advantage in the argument.
