I'VE USGREAVfS TO SUCCEER
KEARNEY AS SENATOR,
FLORA, Miss. Oct. 10. 1891,

Please allow ne space to say fe,
4 vords in support of the candidacy @
he Hon. c. b. Greaves, of Flora, fl,
he State Senate. He has, at tt
solicitation of his many warm an,
arrest friends, consented to become
'andidate, and l will take the respon
,ibility here to say that if he is elected
re will prove himself TO be the RICH
nan in the right place. He was bori
ind raised in our midst We have
known him from childhood, and in
tracing him down to the present day
we find him honorable and upright il
all the relations of life-a ma n true to
his convictions, and who will not
swerve from the path of duty, regard
less of the inducements that may be
| held out to him to do otherwise.
He is, and has always been, friend
to the laboring man, who compose the
majority of the population OF Madison
county, and whose interests have beer
neglected, and whose rights have beer
trampled upon year in and year out,
By his long line of predecessors ID
Office, and will say right here tina,
the good people of this county should
awaken themselves to the awful state
of affairs that is now looking them |
straight in the face and say by thei, |
united vote that they can no longe,
submit to the yoke of depression,
which they have worn SO long without
lifting their voices against it, but must
Ind will be recognized by future legis-
ators. The time has come for united
lction on their part, and if they Will,
hey can be heard, and in the person
# Clarence B. Greaves they will find
N humble instrument who will fight
or their rights, which will never suf-
err in his hands. A few reasons why
le should be sent to the Senate.
First and foremost he is in sympath,
With the masses of the people, having
wed among them all his life and be-
ONE thoroughly acquainted with their
eeds and requirements. Second be-
ause he is as man true to his con-
lotions, as a citizen the ideal of all
tho know him, as an orator he stands
ithout peer, and as representa-
We he is ever on the alert in the in !
rest of those he represents. Third
e is broad-guaged in his views, and
fit for the high place which !;
asks at your hands. He is Demo-
at OF the Jeffersonian type, and
now no other principle by which to 4
guided. We want man to repre- \
mt us who knows us, man who is !
Il seeking Office for the spoils only, }
It who will st rve the people honor. y
'ly and justly, as reward for the \
nor bestowed upon him, and will Z
It "lay down the laurels for private (
terests." ...
Clarence Greaves is young man of J
force of power. He is J
Syer by profession and is rapidly !
ing to place of honor in the pro- {
sion. He has besn intimately con- (
cted with the affairs of the people he
sires to represent, a fact which 7
,ders him in every way copable vi ?
king an excellent representative. }
the remarkable powers of organi I
ion, which he has demonstrated 4
lie and again. mark him as one of the I
ongest political factors Of Madison 4
lnty, if not OF the STATE. He has =
feared himself to all by his inces- -
t cries clamoring for the peoples
hts No man is more familiar with Itor
sc questions that now engage the say
uobts of tho rotors 90 Mo5; CHI
MY. No man is more able than he s sy
ucidly set them before the people, brr
the good people of Madison coun for
hould take advantage of this great s s'el
sme of redemption by giving him a Ina !,
sing vote at the next election. Fol-
ow bring forward your "Hector'
let him be slaughtered by Flora's -
chilis" in the coming political
lie.
