BarkSdaip o..

election by the Legislature of two
United States Senators from MISSISSIPPI
pi.
The preliminary diminishing began
in the House at IL o'clock. Prcsuma-
bly, because Senator George had pub
licly declared during the canvass that
he would not vote for measure in the
Senate embodying the Sub-Treasury
idea, if instructed to do so by the Leg
islature, Mr.. Burkitt offered the fol
lowing:
We. as Democrats of the jefferson
ian school, believe that all govern
ments should be of tho people. for the
people and by the people; that the
power to create has the power to in
struct, regulate and control, that the
elected is simply the agent and ser
want of the elector; and,
Whereas, We believe this fundamen-
tai principle OF Democracy should
control the action of all Democrats,
especially those i'll harmony in a dele
gated or fiduciary capacity, whether il
be county, State or National and.
Whereas, This principle is intensi-
! fed and the more binding in proper
ton to the magnitude and response
bilities of the Office and the trust COM
mitted to the care of the public ser
want, until it comprehends every ques-
ton and permeates every interest of
both government and people and,
Whereas, We believe if this princi-
pie is not binding upon Democrats
high i'll authority, it is not binding up
on those Of minor degree; therefore.
Resoired, That in bailoting for the
office of United States Senator from Mis-
siSsippi, If the Senator to be voted for
will not agree to obey the instructions
of the electing power. which is vested
by law in this body for that office, we
consider all and every member of this
body released from the instructions
they may have received: and it is the
sense of this House that the right to
vote for whoever they please for the
office of United States Senator, should
be accorded them.
