TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 8.


ton will be a thing of the past, and
which will go,down in history as one
OF the most hotly contested elections
OF national affairs the republic has
known since the days OF Lincoln and
the Confederacy.
II will long be remembered by the
present generation, especially, from
the fact that next Tuesdays election
will mark new era in the epoch OF
the North American Republic. The
result will determine whether or not
we shall continue as government
as founded by the constitution of the
Original thirteen colonies" headed
by Alexander Hamilton on the one
hand and opposed by Aaron Burr on
the other. 1t will decide the turning
point OF those cardinal principles as
enunciated by Jefferson, practiccd by
Monroe and carried into effect by
Jackson in 1871. Every question in
volved in the campaign of the present
election is of most vital interest to
every man, woman and child 81 the
United States and especially to the
white people OF the dear old South
land, in all reality the Home of the
Free and the Land of the Brave
Tuesdays election shall determine
whether or not the Democratic party
was right in OF, or the Republicans
were right. II left to the people gem
orally, without the politicians infiu-
ence, we all know the result; but it
shall remain to be seen If the conf
mon people, as a whole, both north
and south, have the courage of their
convictions to vote according to the
pleadngs OF their conscie"ce. From
the view Of the Southland, the verdict
is already announced, but will the
Democrats and independent vutcrs
OF the north vote the pcrIctra-
ton of the republic, or will rhcy wore
the government into the hands N
few demagogues and protected mo-
nopolies, whose sole aims and ambi-
tons are to make this grand old re-
public of ours an empire or monar-
chial government? 1t rests with the
common people, the merchant, the
farmer, the professional man, general
| Nv. and the mechanic and other de-
pendent members of the great Amer
lean family, to rise with their votes
and repudiate the acts of the present
administration, especially the ruler
now on the throne" thereby perpetu-
ating the principles for which the pill
grims, the quakers, and others of our
forefathers, who fought and died up
| on the battlefield of Bull Run and
Saratoga. 1t is not an election OF
party lines, but one of principle, hon
esty and liberty 1t will be personal
affair, for the children of the genera
tons to come will have most of the
hardships to bear if you continue in
power an administration whose sole
objects has been the protection of
the few by the persecution of the
many.
The present Republican adminstra-
ton has been guilty of an act for
which this country was involved in a
bloody struggle of four long years.
1t has aided and abetted the secession
of the State of Panama from the
United States of Columbia, upon the
plea that the State of Panama was
being prosecuted by Columbia, which
was all bosh, and upon the plea of
building an inter-oceanic canal, when
in reality the act was committed that
it might enrich few greedy and ar
rogant spectators, with the pros
poets of war with our sister repub-
lies of South America all at the in
stance of negro equality president
who only reached his high position
through the dastardly act of the as
sassins hand The secession of Pan
anna was fostered and petted by a
man who never was and never will
be elected president of this republic
of 100000 souls.
1t is time for the grand old state
of Mississippi and the Southland to
rise up in one voice and turn down"
any man that would force negro
equality upon the fair daughters and
wives and mothers of our loved
ones and our homes. Will you, good
people of Mississippi, vote for the
man in office who has practiced the
highest indignities upon the people
of your state by appointing opposi-
site races to public Office against the
wishes OF the people, when competent
white people were available and will
ing to serve such office? Will you
vote for man in office for president
whose entire departments under his
personal charge TEEN with corrup-
ton and bribery? A glance at the
postal department is sufficient proof
of the guilt of this assertion. Col
Ethan Allen. of New York, life
long Republican, has the following
to say of the character of the presi-
dent of the United States:
Theodore Roosevelt is man of
contradictions.
He is trust buster who safe
guards trusts and will not run
amuck.
"He is an independent who is sy-
chophantic to power.
"He is a hero who never fought
battle.
"He ;e n man of truth whose word
