WASHINGTON, D c., Oct. Is. 1895.
Editor Grenada .Sentinel:-The Mis-
sissippians in Washington feel far

US foreign policy" or the latest edi.
on OF Lo' d Sackville.Wcst's persona
on grata' pamphlet. If the ''bulIs and
'ears' will only keep quiet until our
armers can market their cotton at
line cents, we wont care how many
5raveyards Holmes may establish out
West, and Amelie Rives- Chanler can
have an undisputed right -of-way in
the divorce courts. An abundance of
hog and hominy' in the South and
innocent cotton as a surplus, are al.
most enough to resurrect the good old
spirit of Thomas Jefferson and cause
"Old Hickory" Jarksons ghost to
walk. Talk about R"publicanism and
Populism, indeed. The people of the
United States are fast learning that
Democracy is to political ills just what
quinine is to chills and fever, and it
wont be long until the staple article
will drive the patent medicine politi-
clans out of business.
Will you please call your readers
attention to how the political tide is
again changing in the good old
"Hoosier Stat" Last fall tn" town of
indianapolis gave the Republicans a
majority OF 5000. Last week the same
town elected d Democratic Mayor and
city ticket by 1900 plurality, IA change
of 1000 votes, and this too in the face
of the fact that "Grandpa's Hat"
voted early, in the hope of Inspiring
enough followers TO elect his ticket.
" ould you believe it, only twel te
years ago the mayor-elcct OF Indian
apOlis Was waiter in the union depot
restaurant of that city? That proves
what boy with an inda-rubber will,
IL guttapercha determination and d
porns-paster tenacity can do.
Washington is good place to view
the political situation from. You can
stand over on Capital Hill and see
Senator German fairly securing little
Maryland-using the ''bolters" and the
''rads' for his map And you can cast
a bias eye over into the "Butkeye
State" and amuse yourself watching
the antics Brownie" Mckinley
and his high.tariff dwarfs are cutting
in their puny effort to dam up the
Democratic tide. The Campbellites
seem to be very popular denomina-
tion over there just now, and if they
capture the State this time, Jimmie
will loom up as a Presidential posi-
bility like Il sunAower over the garden
wall. Then you can look down into
Mississippi-grapd, glorious old Mis-
sissippi, where sunshine, prosperity
and Democracy are perpetual, and
t very day is Democratic love feast,
where our people meet and mingle on
equal terms and enjoy in peace and
quiet the rich harvest Of blessings be-
slowed by God and Democracy. Mis-
sissippi is regarded by the balance Of
the country as the Eden of Democracy

that have swept over the country for

clouds of adversely have settled over
many other good Democratic states,
has alwa>s remained as

'opulists can no more carry Mississip-
Vi than they can chew pig-irou.

carcely any doubt that we will carry

vent of Democratic success in Ohio
nd New York, it would so stimulate
he party as to almost make its victory
a.y next year. The fact that many
eading Republicans have suggested
hat the next clumsy Republican con-
ress should pass the appropriation
