move towards getting away the whole

Mr.. McSutt's speech.

YAmong the famous men of Vicksburg
before the war, one Of the most promi-
nent was Mr.. McNutt Two qualities
marked him out as an individual type
The first was his personal cowardice.
Still more individual was ms power OF
setting aside in his own favor those
prejudices of the public mind when
would have crushed any other man
He was at one time candidate for
United States senator. The opposing
candidate was General Quitman. In
speech McNutt said: Fellow citizens
I understand that General Quitman Is
now in the eastern counties reviewing
his militia. and that he says when ne
meets me be intends to whip me. NOW
7 tell him az this faroff distance that II
he whips me it will be because he can
outrun me, for 1 have great horror
for the barbarous practice of personal
violence"
Such a speech from any other man
would have won him the contempt or
his listeners, but 1t was McNutt, and
people laughed and applauded-"RecoI
