Asylum at Jackson for the ne
gro race at a cost of $59,716.55
since 1890. The Lunatic Asylum at
Jackson was unfortunately burned,
and was repaired at cost of $87, 4S4.45,
Pensions to Confederate soldiers
have been paid at the rate OF $35, 900 per
year for the last three years, making
about $l05, 00000 in all. The peniten.
tiary tarr1s and their equipment have cost
about $S7 ,233.00. These are all items
included IN the issue of Auditors war
rants under Democratic administration
as set out in the preceding table or state
ment, and cannot be said strictly to come
within the governmental expenses.
There were no such expenses under Re-
publican rule, and they spent the PEG.
pies money for no such purposes. Do
the Popultes and their leader condemn
the expenditures above set out? towit:
For the A. & NJ. College, the l.. & c.,
the East Mississippi Insane Asylum, the
addition to and repairs of the asy lum at
Jackson, pensions to Confederate SOL
diers and the penitentiary farms. Do
they condemn the expenditures made
by the Democratic administration on &C.
count of the common schools of the
State? These are the objects to which
the Democratic party has devoted the
peoples money, besides the necessary
and economical expenditures on account
of the Judicial, Executive and Leg
islative branches Of the government,
and on this it appeals confidently
to the people of the State for
verdict Of approval at the coming cleo
ton. The Democratic party has re-
duced the expenditures Of the State gov.
eminent in many ways. Not only the
number of judges and chancellors have
been reduced, but also the salaries of
those officers and all State officers have
been cut down.
But it may be asked by some people
of the State why all this defense Of the
Of the Sae p affairs y Why M shs
parison of Democratic economy with
Republican misrule and extravaganza to
prove what is, and always has been, ad-
mitted by the intelligent. people of the
State? 1t would seemrtraat this o otisht
to be unnecessary. Ond would suppose
that there could not be found in the
State OF Mississippi a man Of ordinary
intelligence who would do so fragrant an
injustice to truth and honesty as to con-
trast unfavorably the pure, patriotic and
economical administration OF State
affairs by Governor John M. Stone with
the corrupt and thieving administra-
ton Of confessed criminal like
Ames; but that individual ia in
the State and poses as the
leader of the Peoples party. He
is the Populite candidate for Governor
and, prefers Ames' administration to
Stones, and still more would he prefer
his own administration to that Of the
Hon. A. ]. McLaurin.
We therefore submit the foregoing fig.
ures for the consideration of the people
of the State, and ask them to pause and
think before they are led off by Mr..
Burkitt. Mr.. Burkitt himself has made
the issue.
1t is between Stones and Ames' ad-
ministrations; between Republicanism
and Democracy; extravaganza against
economy; corruption and misrule against
honesty and good government, and last,
but not least, Burkitt against Mchaurin.
Let the people choose whom they will
have to serve them, this Populite de.
fender of Ames and Republicanism or
their faithful, true and tried Demo-
cratic Senator.

Chairman State Democratic Executive
Committee.
