LIEUT.. G0VERNCR NJ. N. EVANS.
He Believes in Upholding the Hands Of
the Powers that be in all Enterprises.
From Choice and Conviction he
Indorses President 0leveland's
Administration

Lieutenant Governor Evans STONED
over aday in Jackson en- route to Ok,
ford to attend the commencement ex.
erciSes of the State University, where
he has Il son at school. From there
Governor Evans will go to Columbus
to attend the exercises of the Indus
trial Institute and College. of which
he is a prominent and useful trustee.
While in the city Governor Evans was
an honorcd caller at the Picayune bu-
reau, and in response to enquiries as
to how the national administration
was regarded in South Mississippi,
said:
For myself, | believe in unfolding
the hands of the powers that be in all
enterprises in which | am engaged,
and besides this general principle,
which always observe, l indOrse from
choice and conviction Mr.. Cleveland's
administration. think he is one OF
the greatest statesmen this country
has ever produced. Whatever he does
is well done, the reason for which lies
in the fact that all his actions are the
result Of earnest and intelligent con-
v%icti0n, and are executed with firm
ness and vigor, regardless of personal
interest or adverse criticism. | think
he correctly CONSTITUTES the Democratic
platform, and should be supported and
party harmony preserved. The people
demanded that the man, Grover
Cleveland, should be their chief ruler.
and enlisting under Democratic ban
ners, they elected him. Those of his
views On which some Of his party dis
agree with him were as well known
then as they are now, and ! think it is
exceedingly unfair to withhold an
earnest support Of an administration
which we ourselves have inaugurated
with a full knowledge of all the facts.
AS for myself, | have the utmost faith
IN the President personally, and in
dorse and uphold his administration.
Il think this is the general senti-
ment in my section of the State.
think the revenue bill will be speedily
passed, and that it will embody all
that can he accomplished at this time
n the way Of tariff reform. or course
1t cannot be expected that the vast
system OF protection which has grown
up and been interviewer with our in
dustrial affairs under long continued
Republican rule, can be demolished at
once, and no such expectation was in
dulged in by the people at the ballot
box in 1892. To do so would be to in
yitc financial and political ruin. do
not think that much time has been
wasted In consideration Of this meas
urc. 1T is an exceedingly difficult and
delicate task to accomplish legislation
or TINS sort !; tOprepare a measure use
Tor purposes OF revenue and at the
same time incidentally protect where
protection is most needed and adjust
It's provisions so as not to verify Re
publican prophecy in the destruction
OF our industries. On the whole, |
think the helm Of government is i'm
good hands, and the Democratic ship,
manned with stout hearts and true,
she will make the landing | think,
in many voyages to come, including
the one in the immediate future"
FROM tllc above 1t Will be seen that
our county man, Lieutenant Governor
Evans, is in full accord with the
DEMoCRAT-STAR and those Democrats
VINO have not gone off after false gods,
but who are in close touch with Gro
YER Cleveland and the Democratic
party,
